President Heel Spurs claims that Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he has no talent. President Heel Spurs took offence at Kimmel's open monologue where Kimmel said that the shooter in the Kirk killing was one of Trump's followers. The truth of the matter was the shooter was raised in a conservative family and his skill with a gun was no doubt learned when he was a child. The shooter was as much a product of the gun culture as any later influences. There is nothing that makes President Heel Spurs mad than the truth.
Now is an extremely dangerous time for free speech. Trump openly admits that he wants to take the broadcast license away from any television station that criticizes him in any way but what he really wants is media that praises him 24-7. Things go downhill and it will get worse. Trump's inner circle scours the news each day and brings Trump the positive stories about him. This gives Trump a totally warped vie of reality.
Tomorrow we will witness the canonization of a saint for the radical right all his faults will be scrubbed. It is funny how people become bigger in death. The radical right does not believe the shooter was responsible for Kirk's death. It seems Kirk's position on Isreal was different than Trump's and they believe the government had him shot. One thing sure Trump is going to use him like political toilet paper. In the episode of Twilight Zone, the Nazis had one of their owned killed to help their political movement. Would Trump do that? Well he is becoming more unpopular by the day.
We now know that it was the head of SEC that called to have Jimy Kimel took off the air. Trump has long threatened to have the broadcast license removed if they criticized him. It looks like he has made good on the threat. The SEC controls mergers and could block big deals. The head of the SEC publicly threatened broadcasters. Trump may not be able to wipe out free speech in his term in office, but he is going to give it a hell of a try.
