How absolutely disgusting of ABC to cave and pretty much cancel Jimmy Kimmel, an incredibly intelligent and hysterically funny person. This silencing of critics is a terrifying indictment of our country as a whole. Where will it end?

If there's one thing for certain, there's nothing "free" about "free speech," as we know it.

Trump's ego is so fragile that he can't even laugh at himself. Got to get rid of the two funniest late-night programs because they're being "nasty" to him. Poor baby.

I just started re-reading one of my favorite books: 1984. The ONE FOR ONE comparison to Bunkerboy's stolen 'Murica is STAGGERING. How long until we see "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength" on State Television???

Charlie Kirk's assassination was abominable, but it was also a good lesson for Trumplican Traitors: Your godking DESPISES you and worshipping it will NOT keep you alive!

💯 And drumpf doesn’t even care about CK. That’s yesterday’s news to him. I watched Kimmel last night and when asked how he was holding up, drumpf said pretty good and immediately started talking about trucks at the wh and the new ballroom. Kimmel was right. That was like a 4 year old mourning the death of his gold fish. Oh wait. My 4-5 year old son actually cried when his gold fish died.

Who’s really pulling the strings. Not Chump. He’s too busy looking after personal biz interests ieUAE gets state of the art aI chips, in return they kick $2b into Trump/Witcoff crypto biz. Isn’t someone here stealing US govt assets by selling to a foreign govt in return for $2b contribution to prez family private biz?? He’s too busy for govt business he and his family are operating private enterprise for their benefit on the taxpayer dime.

Czar Pootin is pulling much of the strings, but I think the obsolete billionaire class here in the TSA, trump States of America, is riding THAT evil demon.

Well said, Nick. Societies that do not value free expression atrophy and fail.

Expelling of students, firing teachers and professors, late night show hosts ... who's next? And yet the Trump regime spews hate speech all the time. How can we stop this fascism?? How are we going to survive the next three years??

The leverage, once again, was the threat to block a merger. This time it was Nexstar Media Group, with 197 stations, who folded by indefinitely preempting the Kimmel show in response to the direct threat by FCC's Brendan Carr. In addition to possibly losing their broadcast license over a minor mistake by Kimmel, Disney/ABC was left without access to the Nexstar distribution market.
