Ted Cruz is with the D's? well kinda

Jimmy Kimmel’s stock should be going up by the minute. He is now literally the posterboy for free speech. And the irony is, he hasn’t said a word since the “controversial” joke to gain him that status. Everyone else in the country has made him their icon. And the absolute best part? ABC is running Celebrity Family Feud in his place! So poetic. Truly.

Seems Mr Even Hate Speech is Free Speech Cruz is actually being consistent. He is calling out FCC Comish Carr for his ridiculous censoring threats to ABC. “In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” released on Friday, the Texas Republican said he was “thrilled” Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off the air by ABC over his comments about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. But he said he strongly disagreed with the government policing speech, asserting it could come back to bite conservatives when Democrats retake power.

“I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired,” Cruz said. “But let me tell you: If the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don’t like what you, the media, have said. We’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives.” Ok so maybe he’s not as dumb as he seems. Because ummm I am not the only one who saw that coming. If we’re going to censor, everyone is going to get hit in the head. And mostly conservatives. Retribution is ugly. If you don’t like it, DON’T LISTEN. You have 10,000 channels available to you. Change. The. Channel. ““Going down this road, there will come a time when a Democrat wins again – wins the White House … they will silence us. They will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly. And that is dangerous,” Cruz said.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.

One news organization won’t be silenced. The NYT won out in a suit filed by TOM alleging defamation. Judge tossed it. Awesome. BE BRAZIL.” U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday ruled that Trump’s lawsuit was overly long and was full of “tedious and burdensome” language that had no bearing on the legal case.

“A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally,” Merryday wrote in a four-page order. “This action will begin, will continue, and will end in accord with the rules of procedure and in a professional and dignified manner.” Hahaha He got tossed because there were simply “too many words.” When a judge tells you to shut it, you should listen. Have you seen how long some of their decisions can be??

And today’s “please Justice may I?” demand from TOM? “President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to let it enforce a passport policy for transgender and nonbinary people that requires male or female sex designations based on birth certificates.

The Justice Department appealed a lower-court order allowing people use the gender or “X” identification marker that lines up with their gender identity.

It’s the latest in a series of emergency appeals from the Trump administration, many of which have resulted in victories amid litigation, including on banning transgender people from the military.” He truly does believe SCOTUS is on retainer for him. And from all appearances, they are. Apologies to Justices Brown-Jackson, Sotomayor, and Kagan. We know you’re trying, ladies.

TOM thinks he's living in Minority Report (and wants to kill the pre-cogs)

  Dec 14, 2025 (328/1461) TOM appears to be living out Minority Report in real life. He has the audacity to tell the ICC that there will...
