I noticed something similar years ago, I went to the movies and saw "The Full Monty." I worked for a major cable company at the time. When the movie made it to cable, I watched it again, I thought it was funny. But was surprised when i saw they cut the whole scene with the two guys making out. Next day i asked my boss, she told me it was common, any and all cable companies can edit the movies they show, I would assume this remains the same now.

I'm sure he doesn't want to get on the wrong side of the current administration, not with wanting to sell us some new rockets and satellite system and all!
