    Disney was coerced by the federal government via FCC commissioner threats and literally by Donald Trump himself, President the United States.

    If you don’t understand what the difference is, you really need to shut the fuck up until you can graduate high school.

      There is no legal way for the FCC to force disney to do anything. This was one man, Carr, talking out of is arse, trying to look hard for his orange daddy. Why anyone would take what he said seriously, I dont know. If Carr had the power to do anything, he would have done it through legal channels. But he didnt. He just said some shit, and everyone pointed to that being the “real reason” because it couldnt possibly just be that disney, a company with a history of throwing talent under the bus, could just want to walk away from him.

        Maybe because he’s Chairman of the FCC, and wields enormous power?

          No, he doesnt. If he did, he would have used it. People who can do something, dont make public statements. They just do it. You notice how Trump talks shit 24/7, yet its all that. Talking shit. This Carr dude is the same thing, they all are. All talk, no cock.

          But lets say he does, lets say he makes an order to shut down ABC. Congrats, he just gave ABC billions of dollars in law suit money. And they are back on the air anyway, and he most likely goes to playboy prison for abuse of power.

          The problem with the culture wars, is that you are all so far gone you dont trust the system. You dont, they dont, all you all think everyone else is cheating. Notice how in 2020, they all said you stole the election? And in 2024, you said they stole it. The system is just fine. Its just as fucked as it always way, but its fine. You can trust it. Its not slooooooowwwwwwwww. At some point, the Epstein files come out. At some point, Trump gets done for raping kids, colluding with a convicted paedophile and giving her a reward for perverting the course of justice(Her crime meant that she had no legal right to be transferred). And the list goes on and on. But eventually, it will all sort itself out. Unless of course, you stop talking about the Epstein files because some dog shit comedian got sacked for not being funny…
