don’t know a single real human who wasn’t horrified by what happened to Kirk. The only people I’ve seen cheering are anonymous bot accounts or people who are too terminally online to be functional members of society, which is an issue here as well. Talk to normal people sometime, and stop pretending like this is all a big game of checkers.




Don’t crawfish now.


Is it not true that Trump and right wing political figures are EXTREMELY frequently characterized as nazis?





Simple yes or no question.





Also your “talk to normal people” comment is a complete non Sequitur. The media calling them nazis and hitler like is pouring lighter fluid on to a fire for just the right person.


Clearly all it takes in one.

Previous FCC chairs never behaved like that. I’m sure you won’t be upset when the shoe is on the other foot and the FCC chair works for a Democrat

this is not a good precedent, even if right/justified

The state, through the FCC, pressuring a company to silence someone is antithetical to American ideals of liberty.



This is what’s incredibly worrying. People can holla that free speech is only protecting against the government but seem to turn a blind eye when the government is pressuring to restrict speech. Just like Vance the other day telling people to call the employers of people that offended them. Step by step we are eroding what it is to be American and heralding in a dystopian future

Donald Trump has begun to celebrate ABC’s decision to indefinitely suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s show after threats from Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT”

It should have been canceled for lack of viewers.


If nobody was watching, it would have been long ago. Show business is exactly that. A business.. When you have a president who is suing everybody under the sun that doesn't have their lips firmly planted around his a-hole, it is good business to protect yours and your shareholders best interest ($$$).

Whether you like Kimmel or not, you should not be ok with the direction things are headed. Newton's Third Law of Motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" - While this is a law of physics, it is becoming more and more applicable to the actions society. The problem is that the reactions are getting more and more extreme and it will only get worse.

Be careful what you wish for...

I haven’t read much in this, but I am not sure on why now when he has done or said worse in the last.

Though I am not sure on suspension I still don’t know why the networks put so much money into these late night shows in the first place with ratings dropping and competition all over the net if anyone wants to watch someone 5 nights a week.

This particular suspension seems like orchestrated political theater by Kimmel, ABC/Disney, and the left.

Kimmel is such a political hack and brown noser trying to both legitimize such obvious political fiction being pushed by the left to try and save face and narcissistically attempting to “martyr” himself in the eyes of the left.

He know has his victimhood and the fake story plaster over the news.

So glad to hear this but they were just looking for a reason to be done with him and the show. Their viewership was going down and they were losing money.

Give me a fricking break.

Kimmel went on live tv and spewed outright lies about the asssassin. He was asked to apologize and refused.
