They don’t even try to lie badly. Regardless of politics, it’s clear what happened.
Trump and Carr tried to play Alpha.
Disney bent over and took it.
Jimmy went silent and hired lawyers, unions got involved, as did other organizations.
Disney’s lawyers likely pointed out that Kimmel had a huge potential lawsuit due to recent Supreme Court rulings. Then a 4 billion dollar drop and massive outrage from the industry made Disney rethink.
Meanwhile, White House counsel likely also told Trump and Carr that their public statements crossed a line and Kimmel would have cause.
All over manufactured outrage

It is illegal for the Armed Forces to carry out law enforcement on behalf of the U.S. President.

Today, the JLM police raided two educational bookshops in East Jerusalem, confiscated books, and arrested the owners.
The brother of the owners told Haaretz: "They went through the books with Google Translate and took away anything they didn't like. They even came across>>

How you treat people is your true poetics.
Exploit people and you’ll tend to see language as “doing all this work for you,” when you haven’t imagined anything of substance.
Craft begins in the interpersonal not the internal. How you treat people is how you’ll treat the reader

Today’s liberals seem to believe all the great achievements of the Democratic Party — the New Deal, Medicare, civil rights etc — happened because people were nice and polite to saintly Democratic politicians.
