And it turned out both of these failures were caused by Trump's team.
So Trump hires incompetent people (because they are yes men), they fuck up and make him look bad, and the intermediate solution is to kill the people who happened to be near by at the time before there's any actual information available.
Got it.
So the fcc is going to jump in and demand hes taken off the air right??
And just like the dude that said we should kill the homeless. Nothing will happen.
They might build statues to him and put them in the schools. its not safety from school shootings, but we cant say they did 'nothing'.
Again, why is it ok for rightwing people to openly call for violence using their public platforms?
Other groups can not and do not do this in US politics, why are rightwing people the only ones allowed to do this?
I don't think anybody should speak this callously and invoke specific targeted violence with such carelessness, just because Jesse Watters doesn't understand or care about the consequences of his words spoken on a large public platform doesn't mean he isn't increasing the likelihood of actual violent acts by saying what he does.
edit I mean really, it would be one thing to sit around a firepit with your drinking buddies and throw something this disgusting out of your mouth and laugh about it, which I still find disgusting and lame, but we are talking about saying these words as a prominent public figure which makes it that much more a damning commitment to bigotry.
Because they're fascists and fascists currently control our government.
The proper response is to arm yourself and help everyone you know arm themselves.
It's not that anyone is "allowed" we all are. We can say basically anything we want in this country. Conservatives are just a bunch of crybaby sheep bitches that can't handle reality.
So. Is it ok to ask the universe to cancel this dudes television career? Nothing mean. Just fire his ass and put him on unemployment.
Let him apply for his own unemployment. Pull himself up by his bootstraps (of other people's money). Maybe he should even pull the old "as a black man ..." while he's at it and see how it goes there.
Jesse Waters has the most punchable face on television.
I dont know who that is, but hes going to jail. Or at least, he fucking should be.
Jesse Watters is a fascist and a terrorist, his fuhrer's own people fucked up the teleprompter and he's calling for mass murder of allies and civilians over it.
And yet despite making a specific direct call to violence yet another Fox host will not be held accountable.
Yeah, and my favorite part is that the UN said the White House was responsible for the prompter. So they likely just forgot a flash drive or something dumb
So not only does the host not know what an insurrection is, nor what the UN is apparently, they clearly don't care at all about anything but spreading hate
They're intentionally misusing 'insurrection' to try to make it seem like NOBODY knows what it is, so that January 6th seems like a hoax or Democratic hot air.
Indeed. These assholes have been doing that ever since J6, really. Everything and anything was an "insurrection". They'd go apeshit when the media would use that term, even though insurrection is rather neutral, when it's probably more accurately called terrorism.
One regular commenter on DP would often just post "INSPLURECTION!" as a response since they basically lost their minds that people even in the corporate media were pointing the finger at their movement. They were even touchy about calling them "rioters" - they wanted them to be called "peaceful protesters" who were just "airing their grievances", LOL. I have a feeling some of the people that were especially upset about it might have been there and weren't caught (yet).
Hear me out. "The boys" isn't a parody on the US. It's the other way around.
Ok, what corporations do we need to boycott to get this guy fired?
Edit: Here's a few as of April Advertisers embrace conservative media in the new Trump era
According to the TV measurement firm iSpot. tv, new blue-chip advertisers appearing on Fox News national linear broadcasts since the election include Gucci, Busch Beer, and Netflix. New advertisers in this analysis were characterized as having not advertised on the channel since 2022. These brands didn't respond to requests for comment.
Companies including Amazon, GE Vernova, JPMorgan Chase, Netflix and UBS have recently aired advertisements on Fox News for the first time in at least two years.
Oh cool, even more reason to hate JP Morgan. Pedophile protectors always seem to flock together.
I'm pretty sure Faux was running in the red for years. The people backing Confederate Pravda view having Faux as an investment that will pay them dividends even if Faux itself were to be in the red. So I don't think they are really prone to boycotts. I think it's much the same for hate radio.
It's too bad that deep-pocketed billionaires don't do similar things to prop up something similar for progressives. I've been told my entire life by conservatives, moderates, and most especially the corporate news outlets themselves, that we are inundated by "liberal media", but I still have yet to see evidence of such.
The UN doesn't control the teleprompter. Trump's team controlled the teleprompter. If someone else had access to it, they could fuck with the speeches and change words and shit. Under normal circumstances, the speech given by the president to the UN would need to be very carefully worded to avoid international incidents. Trump is a walking international catastrophe, so that's a silly accusation regardless.
This is not the sweet onion of satire. This is the strong garlic of reality.
so where is Brendan Carr and his threats?
The UN is headquartered in New York. This guy therefore is directly calling for terrorist acts to be committed on US soil. That's slammer-worthy.
Who's doing the political violence again?
But Jimmy Kimmel's remarks were too inflammatory for him to stay on the air.
UN headquarters needs to be in Geneva or something, not in one of the 5 nuclear powers. Seriously wtf, this looked biased AF. Like how would the average American feel if UN was located in Moscow or Shanghai?
Somewhere in Switzerland would be a better place for the UN headquarters.
P.S.: That Watters guy is calling for terrorist attacks in New York, what a violent traitor.
Motherfucker thinks demolishing the building will destroy the UN.
Twatters is a terrorist.
For anyone curious. This is terrorism. Specifically "Stochastic Terrorism"
Textbook example. Because there's a real solid chance some fucking lunatic decides to act on his careless words.
careless words.
There's nothing careless about this. This is intentional.
Republicans: We're not Nazis, the Nazis were actually left-wing.
Also Republicans:
I get that at work a lot with men in their 20s.
I don't hesitate at all to correct their ignorance.
One guy argued that the whole political spectrum was left. I said: "Where does conservatism fit in"? He said that conservatives don't follow this spectrum and that is why they are not in it.
They are fed lies early, by god knows who, and they regurgitate them as talking points.
When challenged, their ideas usually change but some are not as intelligent and are harder to break through to.
Fuck fascism, it's destroying young minds.
And he'll keep on talking like that until he feels consequences for his actions.
This guy needs to be charged and imprisoned.
The U.N. headquarters must be moved out of that joke of a country.
WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection.
Broken escalator + teleprompter fail = insurrection.
So much violent rhetoric from the right. And yet the right and their "centrist" boosters keep saying it's the left that is so hateful and violent.
Fucker doesn't know what insurrection means.
Right? January 6th was not an insurrection but a teleprompter issue is? Dude’s a joke and anyone who sucked that shit up nasty style is dumber than a sack of dirt.
Ah, but we incite violence.
This reads like the translated Russian propaganda that i used to laugh at.
Now I still laugh but with more gusto because itd not just "brain washed" Russian who fall for it.
Now it's Americans too
