Summary

Donald Trump criticized Seth Meyers' NBC late-night show in a Truth Social post, calling it a "political hit" against Republicans and demanding Comcast face consequences for hosting such programming.

Trump accused the network of bias, labeling Meyers untalented and NBC/MSNBC as aligned with the "Radical Left."

This continues Trump's long-standing feud with Comcast and major media outlets.

His remarks also recall previous threats to challenge media licenses and FCC actions under his administration, highlighting broader tensions between Trump and media conglomerates.

So you can't say anything negative or slightly negative about Republicans? Fucken dick 'tater.

[-] FiremanEdsRevenge@lemmy.world 86 points 3 months ago

4 years of this shit. I hope a fucking meteor wipes us out..

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 33 points 3 months ago

Rather than wish the death of everyone, why not just aim for the death of one man?

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Because there's plenty more where he came from.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Ok.

And once the head of the snake is cut off, during the subsequent power vacuum, start chopping up the rest of the snake.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Lots of people wished death on him but still his plot armor protected him.

Only way to rid ourselves of him is nuking the universe, but even then I’m not certain it’ll work.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 5 points 3 months ago

After nuclear winter the only things that remain will be cockroachs, Twinkies, and Donald fucking Trump...

[-] forrgott@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Isn't that list redundant? All you mentioned were cockroaches and Twinkies...

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 4 points 3 months ago

Only 1 person has actually tried it.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I never really made the connection but homeboy has not only the resilience but also the physique of a human-sized tardigrade, maybe he actually is one?

[-] miak@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Help us, Han-Tyumi, you're our only hope.

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

Kyle tried it, Jack dumped him

[-] Onyxonblack@lemm.ee -2 points 3 months ago

Lol you don't get it yet, do you? There is a growing section of humanity that simply wants the Human race to go extinct. There really isn't a good word for us yet, I'm sure the dictionary will have a term soon. Misanthrope? Either way, we see humans as the ultimate evil for this planet's other life. Sentience itself might be a problem. FERMI Paradox ect ect. Human physiology and brain architecture might be fatally flawed. Bi-hemispherical insanity and dichotomy sickness.

[-] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

And those people are morons. Nihilism isn't anything new...

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

came up with this all on your own, eh? edgy as shit bro, you're like, a revolutionary thinker. first of your kind. you should write a memoir

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

Ideally just the inauguration.

[-] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Not all of us…just most of America. And most of what’s in Westminster.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

The only silver lining I can see about this situation, is that he won't try again in an other 4 years time.

At least, I hope.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Comcast is literally in the process of spinning NBC off into it's own company, so this won't last long. In fact, expect them to quicken the pace of kicking NBC to the curb.

Also, fuck Comcast, they're one of the few that I could really give a shit about Trump fucking over.

Finally, are we really lamenting the potential loss of the traditional media like NBC who prioritized Trump coverage because it brought in ratings? Maybe we should let them fucking die already if that's how they're trying to stay afloat.

[-] mx_smith@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Yeah I agree, living in Philly you see the Comcast building that looks like it’s a middle finger to America, so let’em fight.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago
[-] misterred@feddit.online 1 points 3 months ago

I thought Comcast [/Universal/NB frickinC] gave Don a million for the inaugural, no?

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

This is likely the most oblique he will ever be about the consequence a free press should fear.

By next week it will be much more explicit.

[-] knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

So sick of this orange sphincter faced dickhead and he isn't even in office yet.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Somebody doesn’t like me, waaaah! Mommy! Uh… Musky?

[-] d00ery@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Where can I watch the show?

Found something, not sure if this is the one in question https://youtu.be/Za0E2uPauwc?si=CyvsDF7A4f_QYbyl

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They post both the intro monologue and A Closer Look segment on YouTube.

If you mean which one is Trump ranting about, I don’t know but I am sure Seth is already writing the jokes.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Fascism rejects the view that violence is inherently negative or pointless but rather views imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation.[11][12] Fascists often advocate for the establishment of a totalitarian one-party state,[13][14] and for a dirigiste economy (a market economy in which the state plays a strong directive role through economic interventionist policies), with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency).[15][16] Fascism's extreme authoritarianism and nationalism centres around the own group, but that can manifest as a belief in Manifest Destiny, revival of historical greatness (like Mussolini seeking to restore the Roman Empire) or in case of Nazism, racial purity or a master race which blended with some variant of racism or discrimination against a demonized "Other", such as Jews, homosexuals, transgender people, ethnic minorities, or immigrants. These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit massacres, forced sterilizations, deportations, and genocides.[17][18] During World War II, the genocidal and imperialist ambitions of the fascist Axis powers resulted in the murder of millions of people.

Scary thing is that there is a very real chance Comcast will bend the knee, cough up some dough, and make Seth Meyers apologize.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Trump is a true constitutionalist.

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago

....let them fight? Not a huge fan of either of those.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Maybe if trump is an even bigger bitch, then he will be a big strong boy who has friends and doesn't pee in the bed.
