Kilmead should be fired. just ugly speech. sounds a bit like Nazi thinking about mentally ill people. I just watched "Hitler and Nazis: Evil on Trial" seems a bit like the current adminstration. In my 74 years in this earth, I never thought between Ukraine, Gaza and this administration, some people like the Nazis could exist in a moral society.
I wish I didn’t have to spend my time protesting (for free - wish I could get paid). I wish I didn’t have to hear horrifying news every day of the dismantling of our government and our freedoms, bit by bit. I wish I didn’t have to support independent journalists on Substack because it’s now the only place to get truthful news and not propaganda.
I’m not at war with fellow Americans. I don’t like war of any kind. I’m trying to peacefully fight for our country and for all Americans and our way of life. We are no longer a beacon on the hill. I am not a they. I am not a terrorist. I am not maga. I am an American.
I think that’s what the radical right doesn’t like. I’m an American.
Very well said and I believe that you are 100% right. If you disagree with MAGA you cannot be an American which they think. I say that if one does not support and rule by our Constitution they have no right to be an American citizen. Maga is authoritarian and our constitution is only a nuisance to them. Thank you for insight and words of wisdom. Keep the faith.
I am not surprised that the corporate world, and especially the media, has a acceded to the demands of Trump and his Maga crew in suppressing free speech, sanewashing this insane leader and overall demonstrating an incredible lack of principle and courage by their collaboration. What has amazed me is that they continue to do it for someone whose approval ratings are in the 30’s and sinking fast. Are they not aware the majority this country do not believe in the fascist/racist/ economic disaster direction he is taking us? Are they not aware that one year from now the House of Representatives will switch to Democratic control and that two years after that the White House? How are they going to explain their collaborationist behavior when the country is finally liberated from the Maga occupation? The fact is that they will not be able to explain it. The new administration will certainly bring them to account. However, we don’t have to wait that long to demonstrate the power of the people to make them pay for their cowardly collaboration. We merely have to hit them where they are most vulnerable: in their pocketbooks. We do this by not buying their products-and not for a day but until each of them changes their behavior. To that end I would recommend that we Immediately boycott all companies that have demonstrated this collaborationist behavior. These would Include among others:
1 . MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN
2. The New York Times, Washington Post and all mainstream newspapers
3. Amazon
4. Google
5. Target
6. Tesla
7. Meta
In this media/consumer driven age, this boycott will not be easy. But resistance to oligarchal fascism never is. True patriots know this resistance takes sacrifice. Money and the lack of it are the oligarch’s achilles heel. If we keep our money out of their hands they will fold.
I have heard suggestions that Trump may cancel future elections. And that his incursions into blue cities will normalize it so at the next election he may try what he wanted to do his last term-seize ballot boxes and voting machines or have his J6 people or loyal ICE run off Democrats then announce he won by an unprecedented number.
Fired is the least of it but we know it will not happen. No real out cry, because the real feelings of so many Americans seem to get said on that network and it just moves to the next radical comment. Meanwhile, those who speak the truth, (on MSNBC) get fired.
His apology is like water and he was forced to do this (and, quite frankly, probably pissed- Fox probably told him "there, there- we agree with you but we can't say it out loud").
I don’t often cry but today’s show put a crack in this tough Yankee’s facade. The super interviews, and then your fantastic, outraged concluding thoughts, all struck a nerve that has not, but for January 6th, been triggered.
Yes, it is a supremely dangerous time, in great part because the father of this nation doesn’t care about his children, and he never will.
Others have probably mentioned this, but we can attribute the issue of mentally ill people being homeless to policies during Ronald Reagan’s administration.
I believe Jim Acosta that we are at war in our country. We are trying to save our constitution and stop evil and authoritarianism. Keep talking Jim ; keep us listening, keep sharing your tremendous insights and inviting guests that help us to see the real and true picture. Our democracy is worth fighting for--we may not have bombs or air raids YET but standing up for what is RIGHT and JUST for ALL PEOPLE is needed!
They fired Carlson. I think that was only because he said negative things about FOX and Murdoch. Murdock didn’t like. They didn’t care about his reporting.
Jim, can you some day have a discussion about how the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel & then the Gaza war is directly connected to our current MAGA dilemma in the US? I can’t help thinking that this was somehow a mastermind plan of some evil genius.
I wish you would have the same concern for the genocide of followers of Islam by the government of China. Probably you do not care because you have no ancestors from China, but I do. Nobody cares about what is going on in China. People from China are people also and they deserve not to be massacred right now by the government of China!!
I appreciate you reminding us of the fact that many countries in our world are in turmoil under authoritarian regimes. I agree that NO people should be massacred. In an authoritarian regime everyone alive becomes expendable. That is not government but genocide! Even our country is going against American citizens.
I've suspected since the day after the invasion that this was a coordinated event maybe even planned by Bibi, Trump, Hamas, and Putin together.
To interfere with our election and who knows what other horrible reasons.
I remember reading that analysts found hundreds of anti Biden/pro Palestine foreign bot accounts on Twitter and TikTok that were created before the invasion.
I will never forgive Biden for dropping the ball on this. People can get mad at me if they want for saying that, but he should've dropped out of the race so he could handle the war without the baggage of running for office as well.

Go figure
They are Right wing Republicans but "they" will be positioned as Dems!! Bullshit
They want a major civil war in my opinion
God help the USA

Your posts are critical. Thank you, and be safe.
Hmmmmm who started it first, Trump or Fox News? We used to call that a “circle jerk”.
I call it Trump State Television.
Others have probably mentioned this, but we can attribute the issue of mentally ill people being homeless to policies during Ronald Reagan’s administration.

The idea on Fox is to massage the anger of people who watch their programs.
And pardoning all of these guys was really the inflection point
I do not like them Dan I am. I do not like them forced by hand. I do not like them man oh man. I do not like them Dan I am.
I do not like them Jim I am. I do not like them forced by hand. I do not like them man oh man. I do not like them Jim I am.

The felon’s WH can blow it out their ear.

Thank you for your comments. This reminds of the saying: IF ONE IS NOT SAFE, THEN NOONE IS SAFE!!!! Elena
Heidi, I’m glad you said that and I agree
