stout, that image makes me more uncomfortable than you realize.

shades of those 2 bitches who pulled out the suitcases full of biden votes during the 'water main' break getting the congressional medal of honor and 'the FBI lovers' and capital hill shooter getting $20m paydays from the past admin come to mind.

Which is apparently only slightly less than the number who do from all the people who have been knighting for him since his brief cancelation.

He's going to either:

1. Weak sauce, non-apology, then immediately go after Trump, the FCC, the situation and try to appease the base, or

2. Quadruple down

Now, I think #2 is unlikely, certainly unlikely tonight (and obviously he could do #1 tonight and then quadruple down on bashing the other side as early as say, tomorrow), because he has had a "Come to Karl Marx" meeting with his bosses.

Interesting times, as the Chinese curse goes...

tell us your thoughts on an innocent father being gunned down on live tv in front of tens of thousands of people just because he had a different opinion.

Kimmel was victimized by his own mouth; there is no one on any side that made him spew that shite out..

I hope he doubles down.

Let people know what he honestly thinks and then they can decide what that means to them and how they should proceed.

Butthurt like trying to get Chappelle fired from Netflix for his trans jokes?

Either way, Kimmel's profession is irrelevant when he is lying about political assassinations. It wasn't a joke; it was propaganda.

Jimmy Kimmel Returns with First Guest Tyler Robinson


It's nice to see Kimmel extend an olive branch for his first show back by interviewing such a staunch Republican.

Kimmel’s career will continue. He’ll be fine, whether he stays with this show or not.
It’s not like he criticized anyone other than politicians…

He does that to himself on the reg...problem is that it seems he lacks the self-awareness to understand this.

I am betting they will start airing it. I think Disney will threaten to cancel their affiliation. Disney does not want to have the precedent set that local affiliates can dictate what they show.

right or wrong, thats how i think it plays out.


I wouldn't be too sure. Its not like this is 1 or 2 affiliate stations that are refusing to air it where Disney can easily strong arm them. Sinclair and Nexstar combined have around 70 local ABC affiliate stations, which is about 1/4 of ABC's total affiliates. That's enough sway to where I don't think Disney wants the fallout that could result from picking that fight.

Kimmel's contract expires in May, so Disney's smart course of action would be to just let his contract expire and cancel the show then, blaming the cancellation on financial reasons like CBS did with Colbert.

Progs dont understand how to look inward, they only understand how to blame other people for their own problems.

Its the main difference between a conservative and progressive. They cannot own what they do or say
