QOTD -- "FU. Make Me!"

 

“Look, at some point you’re going to have to draw a line. So I’d argue, why not draw it right here? And when they come to you with stupid, ridiculous demands, picking fights that you know you could win in court, instead of rolling over, why not stand up and use four key words they don’t tend to teach you in business school? Not, ‘OK, you’re the boss.’ Not, ‘Whatever you say goes.’ But instead, the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away. And that is, ‘Fuck you. Make me.’” -- comedian John Oliver, in his "Last Week Tonight" show on HBO Max, commenting on the rash of knee- bending to the Malignant Fascist, specifically the recent Disney/ABC capitulation on Jimmy Kimmel by Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden (and Nexstar and Sinclair), and what their response should have been.  You can watch here.
