Reminder: THIS is why the GOP created the culture wars.
The goal isn’t immediate, personal, material benefit. The goal is white Christian nationalism.
This is how the GOP gets people to vote for them even when they screw their voters over.

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

Donald Trump again confused Armenia with Albania in a recent interview, saying he ended the war between Azerbaijan and Albania. The actual conflict was between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, not involving Albania.
