No he didn’t. Manny just made that up.

He spoke as if the Kirk murder was some sort of MAGA plot.

Keep posting links to video clips of Kimmel not talking as if he knew something about Kirk’s assassin, and not speaking as if the assassination were some sort of MAGA plot, Manny.

It makes you look really stupid.

I guess people need to be more careful about what they say, and who they say it about. Nothing out of the ordinary in the US. :|

I thought you had free speech in the US.

Don't Trump and his appointees go all over the world lecturing others about free speech?

And isn't that blatant hypocrisy?

Kimmel still has free speech. Nobody's taken it away from him. Even stupid speech is fully protected.

But there's no "unalienable right to be a talkshow host," or "unalienable right to have the privilege of holding court with millions, at corporate expense," or "unalienable duty of Woke Disney to employ Kimmels."

Disney fired him. They didn't have to. Nobody made them. But Kimmel had become boring, propagandistic, partisan and uninteresting. He was lame entertainment. His ratings were showing it, and eventually, he provided Woke Disney with the excuse they needed to dispense with him. So they did.

It's no tragedy. The world's a better place without the partisan whining of J. Kimmel. And Kimmel's still got 100% of his actual rights and liberties.

But that’s the problem, manny. You aren’t interested in the facts. Your relationship with truth is that of a cosplayer.

Not interested in your deceptions and slanders. Not going to waste time on them.

On the bright side, at least Kimmel wasn't thrown in prison or hasn't been shot (yet?). The way things are going these days maybe we ought to count that as a "win".

Kimmel got suspended because of pressure applied by the FCC. And let's face it, the FCC is controlled by Trump.

Prison sentences are coming .
President Trump said Friday that news reporters who cover his administration negatively have broken the law, a significant broadening of his attacks on journalists and their First Amendment right to critique the government.

A day after asserting that broadcasters should potentially lose their licenses over negative news coverage of him, Mr. Trump escalated his condemnations of the press, suggesting such reporters were lawbreakers.

“They’ll take a great story and they’ll make it bad,” he said, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office. “See, I think that’s really illegal.”

Why do you insist on posting links to the NY Times? Firstly it has lost all credibility, and secondly it's hidden behind a paywall.

Why would Kimmel be shot? He hasn't said anything negative about men who get off on public cosplay (most commonly in womanface) has he?

Whatever the fuck the 'FCC' is. You must be American then. No one else matches their arrogance. So why are you still squatting there, as part of an 'occupying colonial force'? Hmmm?

Kimmel was fired after two decades of being showered with wealth and privilege by an extremely rich and powerful multinational conglomerate called Disney, which had happily stood at the service of a deeply Woke agenda though the last Trump presidency and the Biden years, and cannot be easily pushed around by anybody. Kimmel was fired for being boring, having low ratings, and finally giving them an excuse. He's already an multi-millionaire for his service to his propagandistic overlords, and he will never miss a meal for the rest of his life. No right an American can possess has ever been denied him.

Anybody who wastes a tear for him is simply goofy.
