Jimmy Kimmel show cancelled.

Anonymous
I am an independent voter. I have voted for both sides since the first election I voted in, and often split my ballot based on the issues I care about. I have never particularly cared for Jimmy Kimmel: I find him full of himself and not that funny.

That said, I enjoyed his monologue last night and thought he showed class. I do not at ALL think his show should have been cancelled. And I applaud the conservatives in particular speaking out on this, and am glad Jimmy acknowledged them. I’m also glad he reiterated that the murder of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy and must be condemned. I thought his message was one of unity while also calling out the dangers of censorship.

Free speech is essential on both sides!

It's horrifying of course that this is where we are -- but it's also funny because Jimmy basically predicted that the President would be posting on SM about this while sitting on the toilet late at night. Look like an 11:16 post, so probably just as Jimmy was getting ready to talk out on stage.

Rogan is right. Trump has gone too far.

Rogan is right often, considering how difficult it is for him to hold an opinion for more than 1 day.

Trumpers hate being fact checked.


Administrations put pressure on all manner of businesses. Did the Biden administration threaten, either explicitly or implicitly, to put Google and YouTube out of business? If so, post the threat. If the Biden administration did, in fact, actually threaten to put them out of business they should be held to account.


Either Google secretly engaged in treason and propping up a fake election from 2020-2023, or Google is openly engaging in treason now, supporting Trump's 2020 coup attempt. Which is it, Google? Hmm?

But only if Trump leaves him alone. How likely is that?

Presidents do not have immunity from civil suits while in office. Personally, I would love for anyone to file a civil suit against trump for $50 billion!

Your post is what cope looks like. You had the victory of free speech cancellation robbed from you I guess...


PP here. I'm a Harris voter and a Christian. I think Kimmel's comments were highly inappropriate after someone's death.


In what way, Harris voter? Please tell us what specifically you found inappropriate about what he said? The reality is that his comment had little to do with the person's death, and more to do with the circus surrounding that persons death. That you are more offended by someone pointing that out, that the actual circus being made, well, that says a lot of about you, Harris voter.


Not either PP.

Kimmel's comments that got him in trouble were classic gaslighting. That was the problem, and from the clip I saw of his monologue, it is still the problem.

Initially, he implied that the kid was MAGA and that MAGA was trying to disassociate themselves from him. That was blatantly false.
In the clip I saw of last night's monologue, he did not apologize for saying that. He said he was sorry if he was insensitive, but never apologized for gaslighting.





+100


I'll just cut and paste from the previous poster since it captures entirely the BS MAGA is trying to peddle.

"He did not imply the kid was MAGA. You clearly struggle with nuance and comprehension. This is the incorrect leap being made. But you all are morons, so to be expected.

He DID say that MAGA was trying to disassociate him from them. In what way is that false? Did MAGA not immediately and without evidence begin making accusations of the left?

You know what isn't ambiguous, and was actually offensive? A Fox commentator saying the homeless should be involuntarily euthanized. Saying we should blow up the UN. Saying we are at war with the Left."


You’re right. He didn’t imply the killer is MAGA. He pretty much said it outright.
He was gaslighting. The killer leans left. His parents have stated that.


"The killer leans left". Mitt Romney leans left compared to MAGA.

Yep. These MAGA posters said John McCain and Ronald Reagan lean left. A bunch of freaks and nutcases is the MAGA brand.

Not fully. Sinclair stations aren’t running his show.

Sinclair's financial loss. Over 9 million people, and growing, had watched the Jimmy Kimmel on YouTube last night. YouTube got the ad dollars, not ABC.

The lawfare is what got him elected. But please persist.

Only one side wanted free speech curtailed.

DP. If you think he was a victim of law fare, what do you make of his current obsession with getting revenge on all his "enemies" through...lawfare?
