Sorry, Brendan Carr: Sinclair and Nexstar stop preempting Kimmel on ABC affiliates.

      Well, that’s a lie and was from the moment Reagan said it, and in this case they’re just fascist collaborators, but haven’t actively engaged in terrorism, yet.

        1. It’s not not terrorism just because the guy doing violence to a political end has a uniform.

        2. All the non-uniformed shooters–how many at schools this week?

        3. All the gang assaults of trans people, lynchings when they wear their little ghost costumes, honor killings, etc.

          Sure, but is Sinclair the US government and random rednecks?

                Corporations and governments getting even more in bed is a big fascist thing. Also they do propaganda for that cause, donate to the campaign, get favors, etc.

        Illegal kidnappings to foreign torture prisons absolutely are terrorism. And not mere stochastic terrorism.
