  1. Trump openly calls for people to die and has been convicted of rape. He doesn’t have a leg to stand on to criticize others

  2. I don’t watch TV often, and I don’t watch late night at all, but I say Jimmy needs to double down. This is free speech. If ABC wants to break out their knee pads and suck Dipshit Donnie’s dick, Jimmy can always just go the podcast route. He’ll be #1 overnight.

  3. He made that joke days before the fake attempt while trump is mocking insulting degrading people

    The FCC is a fascist arm of the dictatorship propaganda bullshit that is Trump. Bunch of snowflakes.

    Trump can openly call for an actual genocide but days before jimmy makes a joke about the morbidly obese dementia ridden walking heart failure and that’s an issue. Get bent.

    Maybe I’m just crazy, but I don’t think the people who liked the constitution like the constitution anymore, guys.

    For years the right mocked those that didn’t spouse to their beliefs. In 10 years they have done a complete 180 on their “values”. Fuck all of them.

    I seem to remember an incident where someone tried to murder Nancy Pelosi’s husband by beating him to nearly to death with a hammer and the response from Republicans, including Donald Trump, was to make jokes about it. The fact that Donald Trump and his followers now have the gall to whine about this shows they’re all crybaby snowflakes.

  8. Just a note to the younger folks from an old folk. There was a time where something like this would be unheard of, patently corrupt and cause for outrage from both political parties. To be fair to even earlier times where this would seem like child’s play, when I was young, it seemed that we were making progress from the bad times. But now we’ve backslid right into the shit hole.

    A joke made well before the incident.

    Remember when the idea of a president using the FCC as his personal tool to attack critics was considered laughably absurd?

    Next we eliminate all AM and Talk FM radio because Let’s Go Brandon hurt Biden back in the day.

  11. I didn’t realize that „he hurt my feelings“ was a reason for a government investigation.

    I hate having to defend Jimmy Kimmel of all people, and I don’t care for Late Night shows much.

    But this is a nothingburger throwaway line. You could even argue that he’s old, she is an expectant Widow purely by age gap and his age. Is it a mean thing to say, sure. Is it something he should be allowed to say, yes.

    The actual story here is that the administration goes after all these public figures who speak negatively about them (rightfully so) and scream for them to be taken off the air when the President of the United States of America goes around and bullshits and threatens people non-stop, even as recently as just a few weeks ago condemned an entire nation of people saying „an entire civilization will die tonight“, literally threatening genocide on social media. This people need to hold up a mirror and take a hard look at who’s really ‚bad‘.

    Oh we’re back to this part of the story? So in a few weeks we will get another ice invasion of a blue-state major city, then?

    Maga should really go and find themselves one of them there safe places they always talk about. Maybe then their delicate feefees won’t get hurt.

    Ya know, Fox owns several local TV stations that have fcc broadcast licenses and those stations air offensive opinions all the time.

    Every time I see a picture of her with her husband her look feels like she’s disgusted the poison hasn’t kicked in yet. She looks like she expected him to keel over 20 years ago.

  17. The gross abuse of power is so normalized it’s sickening. The man who openly and publicly praises the deaths of his personal enemies can’t handle even light criticism.

  18. FlautenceWizard on

    This peformative fake outrage is just exhausting. I’m glad most people see it for the crock of shit that it is.

  19. Didn’t call her an expectant widow. He said she had the glow of an expectant widow. Insinuating she’s waiting for him to go versus Kimmel trying to make it happen. It’s all absurd.

    How many people are actually dead because of Trump and his actions?

  20. IGetGuys4URMom on

    And to think that a Republican Speaker of the House called a former First Lady „a bitch.“

    Can we talk about stuff like the Epstein files or the needless war?

  21. My god, the absolute pussies of this administration is down right legendary.

  22. A perfect example of the kind of abusive and oppressive government the USA is supposed to be against. I can’t even look at our flag without seeing the ignorant, thin-skinned hypocrisy it now represents.

  23. Puzzleheaded-Ad7606 on

    #The late night shows have made jokes like this forever- anyone remember Anna Nicloe Smith?

  24. The same guy who posted that Obama as apes video? Oh wait, that was Donald Trump.
