Too much. Anything go wrong in the country blame Democrats. Say something wrong about Charlie Kirk get fired, lose TV show, blame Democrats. All of this is distraction tactics to the shit the shit that needs to be addressed: The economy, FBI, HHS, & Epstein files.

He's suggesting that Democrats need to punish the entities that are making selfish calculations now and do not allow those entities to redeem themselves.

I understand what he's saying, and I still think it's stupid. The Dems aren't doing anything to stop all the illegal stuff that Trump is doing. So, when Trump's FCC guy threatens Disney to stop people like Kimmel or have their broadcast license revoked, what is Disney supposed to do? That's not just a selfish calculation. Trump is now using the government to punish entities that don't do what he wants. The Dems don't have the right to wave their fingers at anyone when they sit by an let this stuff happen. Disney is a big enough corporation that maybe they can survive having the Federal government target them. A lot of these other companies can't say the same.

Republicans have the House, Senate, SCOTUS, and the White House. Saying Democrats aren't doing anything is like blaming an infant for a dirty house. Baby can't walk, and see beyond the reach of their hands, but they're in the house, so surely some of the blame is on them, right?

The people voted for Republicans to be in total control, and now that they are, you're blaming Democrats?

That's fucking ridiculous.

Also, asking what Disney is supposed to do is a weak ass cop out for them. How about they don't bend the fucking knee and wipe their mouths. None of these companies is being pressured to bend the knee to Trump. They're doing it because they want to, not out of fucking fear. Stop giving them a pass.

I'm not blaming the Dems for anything. I'm stating a fact. Trump is continuously breaking the law, and the Dems are doing very little to stop him. You don't think there is anything they can do? Fine. But it's dumb as fuck for you or anyone else to give the Dems a pass on letting Trump get away with this shit but then turn around and condemn corporations for doing what they have to do to not be targeted by a madman.

This is quite possibly the dumbest thing you've ever said on here. What exactly is Disney or any other company supposed to do? In this particular case, the head of the FCC threatened to yank Disney's broadcast license. That would be devastating for the company. Sure, they could fight back. After all, what Trump is doing is illegal, but who exactly are they going to appeal to? They can't go to Congress, because the Reps in Congress will just go along with Trump and the Dems will just throw their hands up and say they can't do anything because of the Reps. They can try to fight it in the courts, but that will be expensive and at some point in the process they will hit a Trump friendly court that will rule against them. Even if they don't, so what. Trump has already shown he doesn't even care what the courts say.

Again, this is Disney, they are big and powerful enough to maybe survive that type of battle. Not every company is. From a business standpoint, how much sense does it make to fight and put your business at risk when you have the weight of the executive office being put on you and you can't count on any of the checks and balances for help?
