This President (who MAGA think is so "tuff") is showing the limits of power: Tariffs over turned, conflicts he promised to end rage on, immigrants returned from el salvador, students sent to immigration jails also returned, China, Russia and India (among others) ignoring Trump's threats and actions, backing off from attacks on both Yemen and Iran, capitulation on budget deficits ....with all that and more safe bet troops in Democrat cities will be overturned too.

US justice department removes study finding far-right extremists commit ‘far more’ violence
Report finding rightwing extremists have killed more Americans than other domestic terrorist groups vanished from DoJ website
The US justice department has scrubbed a study from its website concluding that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terrorist group, just days after a gunman fatally shot the prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The report, now archived, titled What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism, vanished from the Department of Justice website between 12 and 13 September, according to Daniel Malmar, a PhD student studying online extremism at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, who had been monitoring the page. Kirk, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally, was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on 10 September.
The vanished study opened with: “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”
The National Institute of Justice study, which was based on research spanning three decades, represented one of the most comprehensive government assessments of domestic terrorism patterns. It found that “militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States” and that “the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”.
But the findings align with independent research from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which analyzed 893 terrorist plots between 1994 and 2020. That study concluded: “Rightwing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994.”
In congressional testimony in 2023, Heidi Beirich, the executive vice-president of Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told lawmakers as an expert witness that “data on acts of political violence clearly shows that it is the far right that is driving terrorism in the US, including targeting and, in certain cases, murdering law enforcement”.
“That is not to say there is no violence from far-left actors,” she continued, “it is just simply not on the scale or as deadly as what is coming from far-right actors.”
First Colbert now Kimmel. But nothing wrong with saying homeless should be killed off.
So much for the free speech/fuck your feelings crowd.

It's the double standard/hypocrisy that really pisses me off.
I've been watching Kimmel's monologues on YT for a while now, it was weak as fuck to cancel him over this.
Supposedly Nexstar has a merger or something coming up so it makes sense they'd wanna eliminate anything that could stand in the way of that.

Nexstar’s decision comes just after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr blasted Kimmel and threatened to take action against ABC. Appearing on the podcast of right-wing commentator Benny Johnson, Carr said one form of punishment could be pulling the licenses of ABC affiliates, which likely got Nexstar’s attention.

I don’t think Kimmel should have been fired, but he should have apologized for blatant verifiable lie he repeated. It wasn’t a joke but statement to his viewers
It’s wild watch libs twist into a pretzel claiming last week it was justifiable to kill someone over their speech on a college campus vs a meltdown over a late night host fired over spreading misinformation and lying
The emotional rants over kimmel’s dismissal from the media and the left versus last week cold blooded murder is eyeopening
I’ll have to go pull up AOC and Kimmel quotes when Tucker was let go again. Compare and contrast
