He continued, “Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”

I dont think Donny would be my go to subject matter expert on campaign finance laws

And not that it matters in the world of hypocrisy, but fox news might as well be the Republican News Network...

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 21 points 1 month ago

Isn’t most of the admin fox personalities?

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 25 points 1 month ago

As of a may 10th article there were 23 fox personalities in the administration... It's beyond absurd.

Well, he is pretty experienced at violating campaign finance laws, so he may be more of a subject matter expert than you think, he's just coming at it from the side of evil, not justice.

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 78 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Please do. Discovery will be a bitch.

Edit: Do not try to placate fascists and/or bullies. They always come back for more. ABC marked themselves as weak and will have to fight 10x as hard to get this to stop. If they don't, they will literally give Trump everything, and he will want more.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 74 points 1 month ago

This is an impeachable offense. Will the Democrats even attempt performative politics?

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 month ago

I mean, why wouldn't he? The last time he sued them, he ended up $16 million richer. The thing about stupid people is they generally learn by behavioural conditioning more than anything else. Rat push button, rat get reward, so rat push button again.

ABC thought they were buying safety for a mere $16 million, which was pocket change to them. In reality, all they did was tell Trump where the treats can be found. Now he's gonna be like a dog that found a cookie in the couch cushions one time, and so now goes rooting around in there every time he can because there might be another one.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

This is the most apt description of Trump and this situation I have ever seen.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 month ago

ABC thought they were buying safety for a mere $16 million,

And we all said at the time, that's not how blackmail works. Once they've gotten money out of you, you can count on them coming back for more.

Your dog analogy reminded me of a story I once heard, about a guy walking his dog. One day, his dog found a package of pork chops that were inexplicably hidden under a bush. For that dog, it was literally like finding buried treasure. It made such an impact on him, that he checked under that bush on every wall, for YEARS.

Kimmel should do nothing but Epstein jokes, Trump will clam up real quick.

Why isn't this orange fool in prison yet?

Why does Brazil have to school the United States on how a mature functioning constitutional democracy works?

I'm so fucking sick of looking at him and listening to his gaped asshole of a mouth spreading ignorance and lies.

[-] clashorcrashman@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

They say he smells like a gaped asshole too

[-] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

What a snowflake lol

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

I seriously think we need an organized movement to respond to him universally with "Shut the hell up, asshole."

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Shut the fuck up Donny.

I mean if his ratings and profitability are so terrible, that's a negligible contribution at best.

Let’s sue Turning Point USA for continuing to push Charlie Kirk talking points since it’s a major illegal campaign contribution to the Republican Party! Not only is money speech, but speech is money now!

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Hmm... It's a shame that ABC isn't owned by some super litigious megacorp that could bury most legal attacks in the dirt.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

Aren't they owned by--

...oh, heh.

What a little bitch.

Also, release the Epstein Files.

[-] Vorticity@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

"I'm gonna sue!" seems to be his version of "I'm telling! You're going to be in such big trouble!"

[-] bradv@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

ABC learning why you don't give in to bullies.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I guess Newsom should sue Fox then, while we're at it.

lol. lmao

[-] Chr0nos1@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

He needs to be careful with that rhetoric, or they will use it against him. They could say that Fox News is an extension of the RNC, and just simply list all of the people he's hired that are former Fox News people. I'm fairly certain he's the dumbest president we've had, even more so than Bush Jr.

IKR? They operate the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which lies so much that it is responsible for the deaths of thousands, perhaps millions of people, and he thinks he can sue a major network because a comedian told a joke.

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Donald Trump threatens to sue over lots of things. Let's see if he actually does, as this will be a clear cut violation of the 1st Amendment & a will allow ABC to recoup that $16m + more.

IRC, the merger has gone thru, so they no longer have to pretend to give a shit about Trumppy's widdle fee-fees.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Jokes and memes will break this administration, keep it up everyone!
