Trump: I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.

Confusing moment at Kash Patel hearing at US House When asked if he'd commit to releasing information about Thomas Crooks, the Pennsylvania man who attempted to assassinate Trump last July.. Patel responded, "As soon as the trial is over" Crooks was killed on-site in Butler, PA

Trump: It is a privilege to be the first American president welcomed here. And if you think about it, a lot of presidents and this was this was the second state visit and that is the first. Maybe that is going to be the last time—I hope it is, actually

Trump: Shakespeare, Tolkien, Orwell… incredible people. Unbelievable people like we have rarely seen before, probably won't see again.

Does he think he's the first American president to visit Windsor Castle? Does he not remember that he visited Windsor Castle during his first term? Will anyone ask him why he can't seem to remember things he's already done?

"No American president has ever been here. I have been honored here twice. I hope I'm never here again. I respect you so much."

I get that he's trying to say no president has ever been honored with two state dinners at Windsor. But it's nonsensical, like he doesn't even understand the words he's saying. Then to joke about how you hope you're never here again. It's just so absurd.

Charles absolutely wishing he was actually a lizard alien, so he could flick his tail and hide under a pile of logs.

To be clear: It's not "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after comments about Charlie Kirk," it's "ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel after threats from Trump FCC chair" The distinction matters here.

Does Trump think people will stop making fun of him and calling out his lying? Does he think he can just control what people say and think? When did that become what we ask of our presidents? When did protecting the leader's feelings become American?

Republicans are free to draw whatever fake-ass equivalence they like, but the fact a comedian can’t say something in his monologue without the government coming after him for it? That’s censorship I can’t find anywhere else in the 21st century.

Trump: Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!!

NEW: Sinclair Broadcast Group says it will air a one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk on Friday across all of its ABC-affiliated TV stations. The special will air in the 11:35 p.m. time slot that is typically reserved for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." $SBGI

How's this going? Is free speech back in America?

Have to assume SNL and South Park are done as well. Probably the Simpsons too. Then comes the federally funded AI avatars of Lawrence Welk and "new" 1960's Perry Mason episodes. Then we'll be required to hang Trump's portrait on our wall.

Will we be required to watch it? Will we be canceled if we don't?

Is there a single "small government conservative" or "free speech absolutist" on the right willing to admit that the president getting a TV comedian pulled off the air for mocking him is deeply censorious, un-American, and fascist? One? Anywhere?

Can anyone seriously imagine George HW Bush seeing Dana Carvey's impression of him on SNL and demanding NBC cancel the show and fire Carvey under threat of losing their license? When heavy handed censorship become a conservative value? I mean, I know when. But still...

Trump's gloating tweet doesn't mention Kirk. What Kimmel said about Kirk's shooter being MAGA was wrong, and it would be appropriate to apologize. We should NEVER apologize for mocking our leaders. This is a right of free people going back eons.
