The internet is a dangerous place for adolescents. And I suspect that’s going to be the norm going forward - lost children that are terminally online and acting out.

Ultimately, Charlie Kirk was killed by Silicon Valley.

This armchair CEO garbage isn't going to cover up the fact that a federal government employee publicly threatened to take major punitive action against a private company in order to censor the speech of their employee. Conservatives used to find this scenario appalling and completely against the Constitution.

But Kimmel spread a hurtful lie that he easily could have fact checked, had he stepped out of his bubble. He wasn’t even telling a joke, he was making a political speech.

It wasn’t a lie - the MAGA crowd had been trying desperately to make people believe that the murderer was part of some leftist group starting when Kirk’s body was still warm. That was their number one priority.

Also, this should go without saying but comedians are allowed to make political speeches just like they are allowed to tell jokes in America.

At least the America I know. /Captain Von Trapp voice

He is a leftist, though. People weren't wrong.

+1. And your employers don't have to keep you.

That is true.
However there are rules/laws in place that do protect people from being unjustly terminated.

And these laws exist to protect people from unfair practices, etc.

These laws exist so that people can enjoy the rights (vs. privileges) that are due them.

Based on his comments, he could easily have been fired for cause.

What —exactly— about his comments would easily support “cause”? Yes, I’ve heard the comments and read multiple opinions about them.

looking at his ratings? Poor performance.

Kimmel was trying to prop up the lie that MAGA killed Kirk. The same lie that the moderator here tried to persuade us to believe, and had to say he was wrong.


He lead in his open monologue that the people on the right doing everything they could to say the shooter wasn’t like them. He was not joking, this was not a joke, he had to know how raw the country was on Monday night, and to use his monologue to spread outright inflammatory discourse like that is unacceptable. To use his medium to confuse and mislead people is unforgivable. He had a battery of writers and producers, and no one flagged it. He and they knew what he was doing and did it anyways because he thought they were untouchable.

Please quote the words the Kimmel used that said that he, Jimmy Kimmel, thought MAGA killed Kirk. Please quote the exact word with which you have a problem.

Kimmel: "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving on Friday. The White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this."

That is not a lie. That is an accurate observation of what occurred all over the internet. The exact same observation could be made about the left. The other "them". At no point did Kimmel state as a fact the kid was MAGA. At no point did he say that it was MAGA that killed Kimmel. He merely made an observation. An accurate observation.

THe fact that you cite this as a lie is evidence you expect nothing other than obeisance to all things MAGA. Which makes your desires more appropriate for North Korea.

At the time, the evidence suggested the shooter very likely was not a MAGA believer (and evidence released the next day showed that he almost certainly was on the political left).

I think it's fair to say that a lot of people on the left at least understood what it was people on the right were reacting to. It wasn't Kimmel's flat joke about Trump's stages of grief, it was the suggestion that the killer was right wing.

“Kimmel was expressing what we’ve heard some other liberals say in recent days that the motives are unclear and that maybe the suspect in this case was a Republican or was some sort of far right fringe figure. Of course, there has been a lot of discussion about that in recent days. There’s a lot of evidence pointing in other directions about the suspect, but Kimmel was on the air talking about this, making a very serious commentary amid his jokes in his monologue Monday night.” Brian Stelter, CNN

I think that it is fair to say that people on the left who heard that joke thought it was a joke about what had happened (not to Kirk) in the MAGAsphere on the 10th. And go look at right-wing luminaries on twitter in the 10th after Kirk got shot. Laura Loomer within minutes was screaming about Islamic terrorism. That's just one example. There are dozens of influencers who similarly tried to point the finger at various groups.

What Kimmel said was a 100% accurate observation as to what was happening on the 10th. 100%. Would it have been MORE complete to say the left was doing the same thing? Absolutely. The left was instantly on the fact that it was Utah, MAGA territory, his father, guns in the house, etc.

By the logic you seem to endorse for his suspension, every single talking head out there should be out of a job. Every single influencer and poster on DCUM. Every one on Reddit, etc. That's what people do. They make guesses, make observations and draw conclusions and more often than not they are wrong.

Kimmel could have made an actual joke about how neither side (left/right) wanted the shooter to be aligned with their political party.

Did he mention the left? Noooo. Only MAGA. Why didn’t he mention the left?

Who gives a sh@t? He is an entertainer. He gets to decide who to dump on, not you.

Should I get to tell right wing entertainers how they should ply their craft?

Thus far there is zero direct evidence. No one saw him on the roof. You would expect dna on a gun he owned or ordinarily had access to. Text and discord messages without actual evidence he wrote and sent them are inadmissible. That he liked a guy who may or may not have been trans is irrelevant. Patel contaminated the crime scene and I’d bet the braniacs who work for him have rendered forensic evidence useless.

This doesn’t even begin to address the behavior of the president, the governor and every other republican politician out there, all of whom have tried and convicted this young man before he was even officially charged.

As long as he keeps his trap shut, even Aline Hanna could get him off.

That's not what all of the above said. They were lying, and you're speculating.

They have enough evidence that they could forget about presenting half of it and they would still get a conviction.
I don’t know where you are getting your information but you are so wrong.

Do tell. What direct evidence do they have? Eyewitness who can testify they saw Tyler pull the trigger? Video? A confession signed by Tyler?

Looks like Sinclair is feeling the pain.

“So, the Disney & ABC boycott is continuing to WORK 🔥.

They don’t want to face any more backlash and drop in profits so Sinclair, the broadcasting company that owns hundreds of ABC affiliate stations, has BACKED OUT of airing a remembrance video of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, posting a YouTube link of”

Yes, and that’s why this needs to go to trial. We need some digging into the right wing violence plaguing the country and who is funding it.

He was vulnerable due to mental health issues. We see somewhat odd and quirky kids like him beginning to develop these obsessive internet interests in middle school.
