The fascist regime is only beginning. 

Soon all of us on here will be arrested for our anti-Trump posts :giggle:

Good. If I'm in jail, I don't have to think about living my life :madge: 

私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから

Leftist who use the word snowflake are using it ironically to antognize trump supporters because the right claims the left is easy to offend.

The left knows they are easy to offend, no one needs to remind them of that. The right makes fun of the left all the time for trying to get people fired, so for them to do it is a delicious kind of irony and should be pointed out. It's not meant to be taken seriously, and if a liberal is using it seriously, then that person is pretty dumb, I agree. I'd reckon very few liberals use the term snowflake except ironically though.

 

We agree that the left and right are equally prone to offense. Great. So we disagree about the motivation behind the FCC's response?

Ajit Pai, the chairmen of the FCC was an Obama appointee and has served at the FCC under both Democratic and Republican administrations. Trump has no real power or influence over the FCC nor has he publicly acknowledge Colbert's rant.

The job of the FCC is to monitor obscenity on public airwaves. CBS is on public airwaves. Stephen Colbert admitted he was cruder than he should have been. Crude is a synonym of obscene. The FCC received a litany of complaints, and said they would look into it. 

And you think the FCC saying they are going to look into this, is a politically motivated?

Right now the federal government, under the Trump administration, is in the midst of an inquiry into Fox News and Trump's dear friend Roger Ailes. Is that not politically motivated as well? Or is it more likely that Trump doesn't have his finger in every federal pot?

The FCC is doing it's job. The most that will come out of this is a fine, if that.

The FCC is looking into it because of the complaints.

The complaints are due to a twitter campaign by trump supporters. Not because people think that the word cock, bleeped out, is too offensive for cable television. 

That is the witch hunt. The FCC probably has to investigate when enough people complain. 

It's embarassing that trump supporters vote for a man who says grabem by the *** even in private, to be potus, and yet get offended by the word cock bleeped out? They are just mad that he made fun of daddy trump and think that mass reports of this will force the FCC to take it seriously even though it's utter bullshit.

 

edit: lol, even GGD thinks cock is much less vulgar and obscene than ***. Now that's funny.

To anyone who interpreted the FCC's routine investigation into Colbert's monologue as a great tidal wave of fascism which threatened to topple the Shining City on the Hill and wash away our First Amendment rights...I thought you would be comforted to know that Colbert will not be fined.
