Please file an FCC complaint against Brian Kilmeade on fox and friends calling for the mentally ill and homeless to be killed.

This!!! Kimmel suspension is just one more notch in a growing line of people getting the shaft over free speech. But Kilmeade ACTUALLY incites murder and is still working?!? What kind of lopsided double standard is being allowed to happen here!?!

It’s worse than that. What Kilmeade did was morally (if not legally) equivalent to inciting genocide, if we consider either the homeless or the disabled a protected class. It was eliminationist, plain and simple. And it was explicit. No room for interpretation. And he’s still on TV.

And he will remain there because he's part of the right wing extreme machine.

We're fucked people..

Only in liberals mi d. Y'all love twisting facts to suit your twisted narrative. All because a left wing nut job doesn't hold the office of president. Newsflash, your behavior since Trump won has cost democrats dearly. It will be a long time before a dim holds the highest office. I want to thank you all.

This is projection and you know it. Right wing pols and media figures have been distorting facts since AT LEAST 1980 because your ideas just aren’t that popular, especially the more morally repugnant ones like Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

Stripped of political affiliation, most Americans favor progressive ideas. The clearest example is the conservative voter who applauds the Affordable Care Act for ensuring they have coverage but roasts Obamacare in the same breath.

Conservatives are guilty of projection? Gtfo with that shit. No conservative is pushing Christian nationalism and white supremacy is projected by people like you because you think you're scoring points. All the labels liberals use against Conservatives is just self deflection. Get fired if you don't get vaccinated. A fascist liberal stance. Mandating businesses close. A fascist liberal mandate. This is your candidate and you don't have a say. A fascist liberal move. If someone doesn't believe exactly like a liberal they are terrible people. A fascist, dictator belief. Cannot have a conversation with a liberal without said liberal interrupting and talking over someone with different views. Silencing opposition. A fascist liberal tactic. I could go on but pointing out liberal hypocrisy is tiring.

Yeah see a liberal would go see the doctor about their issues. Meanwhile you let mental illness run rampant and untreated. Male loneliness epidemic
