Thanks trump, lol!
He's seething right now
It's tempting to imagine that, but I doubt he actually cares at all (or is even fully conscious of the discord). This is all distraction, and he's playing the agitator role to muddy the waters around his real scandals. Newspapers are a relic of a bygone time, but it's still true that journalists only have so many column inches. The human capacity to care about many things at once is limited, and Trump is really good at creating reasons to be pissed off.
I know what you're saying, but his post didnt seem very happy either lol.
This is a perfect reason why your lawyer tells you to keep your mouth shut.
Mentioning that ABC apparently told the WH he was let go, directly. Why would they do that without a legitimate and serious federal law being broken? (there wasn't one)
Then elucidating your intentions of wealth and political gain by writing about an assumed bias of the entertainment content and using the word 'lucrative' when comparing to a previous case with the same proposed defendant.
This is a man who should never be trusted with the nuclear codes. I bought my ticket the day after the election and am now living permanently in a safer country.
America is cooked.
What country did you go to and how did you get permission to live there?
Australia by blood. I am sorry.
Would you marry me? Pls? I wanna go there 🥺👉👈
/kidding lol...
...
unless... 👀
Sure, but imagine I'm right, and he's just trying to stir shit up. Wouldn't he write exactly the same thing? Like if he was actually upset, he's going to pretend like he doesn't care. Like with the Epstein stuff.
I could be entirely wrong, though. In the end, doesn't make much difference.
Both things can be true I suspect.
He's incredibly thin skinned, so this definitely gets to him. But also, he's using it as a distraction.
Kimmel's next episode should start with the fash removing the Epistein friendship statue from the National Mall & then do a deep dive into how close they were.
Bring the birthday book out too. Maybe have an Epstein victim as a guest if they would like to come on.
He cares. He cares a lot. Ratings and perceived popularity have always been incredibly important to him, like he's a mean girl in high school or something. He really is that small-minded and petty. Comes with the territory for fascist Dear Leaders.
I like remaining wary of folks playing a deeper game but let’s be honest; folks in trumps orbit may be but I very much doubt he is.
He repeats the same gripes all the time.
His not-DM to Bondi is literally the same language he uses in campaign rallies.
I think all of this bothers him way more than the normal person and WAY more than a president should care.
Yeah. It's beautiful, isn't it?
This is an example of how fighting fascist make you stronger.
Remember, don't comply in advance.
Disney did comply in advance.
I've never watched him, but I watched the monologue on YouTube. At the time it had been up for just 4 hours and had about three and a half million views.
It's at 19 million views right now.
I watched it on YouTube. Never watched Kimmel before. I wasn't missing anything. Not that I dislike him or anything he was saying. He said all the right things to an audience that probably needed to hear it and wasn't hearing it elsewhere. It all just struck me as very milquetoast, lowest common denominator entertainment/sermonizing. Half the comments on Lemmy hit harder. Seems like a relic of a pre-internet time to me (a terminally online weirdo).
100% agree. I only watched it out of morbid curiosity to see how he'd handle it, and it was disappointingly diplomatic, and the crocodile tears made me throw up in my mouth a little, but it was probably as much as a corporate drone like him could get away with.
I will be returning to not watching him again moving forward.
He had The Man Show, which was successful as hell, but back then building your own late night show empire was the first step to being handed the reigns to the Tonight Show, so in the context of his career, he'd have been crazy for him to turn down heading up the next best thing, following trying to fill Letterman's and Colbert's shoes. That said, I wouldn't want to live in the shadow of comedians who had to deal with the exact same thing 100 years ago either, I'm not Charlie Chaplin.
Yeah, about an hour after being posted when I watched it, it was at 440K views
It was Kimmel's remarks about Trump that got him censored. Kimmel didn't say anything at all about Charlie Kirk, he only commented on Trump/MAGAs reaction to Charlie Kirk's shooting.
Disney, which owns ABC, highlighted that the latest episode did not air in 23% of American households. That’s because Nexstar and Sinclair, two major owners of ABC broadcast affiliates, continue to refuse to run the show following Kimmel’s remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The party of anti-censorship strikes again.
But he didn’t even say anything about Charlie Kirk. He talked about people’s reactions and Trump’s.
I didn’t like Jimmy Kimmel but now I do lol
Perhaps they could use this as proof that they don't need any of those Nexstar or Sinclair stations and remove their affiliate status.
If I were Iger and an actual patriot instead of being a billionaire scumbag, I'd start by removing all permission for NexStar & Sinclair to use any of Disney's content.
Refuse to air? We will just watch it online. Local TV stations are dead anyway
First time i have watched him. Had never really known who he was before.
I have it on good authority he’s f*cking Ben Affleck
Matt's not gonna like this.
Be doesn't like much anyway so no one will notice
That's an I Love Lucy number. That's amazing. Y'all that might not know the history of television's ratings don't know what a compliment that is by the way.
I don't normally watch Kimmel but I did watch that last episode to contribute to the Streisand effect
No matter how much attention they get out of this, the content sucks. No one watched it anyways and network tv is dying for a good reason.
LOL, talk about confidently incorrect.
They rely on trump. Their ratings we're up when he was first in and up again the second time.
That's great. I love when Disney makes a lot of money
Is this new coke all over again?
