The demonic voices exist within an echo chamber. When you drive away moral audience members, you end up with a group who spiral out of control. Connection to goodness, morality and decency is lost.
Thus, ABC host Jimmy Kimmel delivered a toxic monologue on Monday evening where he ridiculed President Trump in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death and blamed the shooting motive on the MAGA mindset. Backlash followed as the segment was shared with a wider audience who were reminded of the hate espoused by leftist cultural leadership.
Nexstar Media Group, which holds an FCC license and operates 2oo partnered broadcast ABC stations, announced they would not broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live. Soon thereafter Sinclair Media Group, another FCC licensee, announced they were also not going to broadcast the Jimmy Kimmel Live television show.
As the backlash mounted from affiliate television stations, eventually Disney Corp who owns ABC announced they were suspending Jimmy Kimmel effective immediately.
WASHINGTON – Disney said Wednesday it would indefinitely suspend comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show following the host’s comments on the fatal shooting of conservative organizer Charlie Kirk.
[…] “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said Wednesday evening. The spokesperson did not specify why the network had decided to suspend the show. An episode of “Celebrity Family Feud” from July aired in its place Wednesday night.
The decision follows a firestorm of criticism from conservatives, including Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr, who implied that his agency could suspend broadcast licenses if it did not take action against the comedian. (read more)
As noted by Megyn Kelly, “I’m not sure who needs to hear this but Jimmy Kimmel got on the air and falsely stated as a fact that Charlie Kirk’s killer was MAGA, smearing an entire movement and Trump in particular with a vile disgusting lie – and at a time when the threat against those on the right is at an all-time high.
This was *after* we knew from the UT gov that the killer had been indoctrinated into LEFT-wing ideology, *after* we’d seen the shooter’s bullet casings reflecting furry/trans memes, calling Charlie a fascist and w/anti-fascist lyrics. It was *after* we had learned the shooter was living with his trans-furry boyfriend and believed Charlie Kirk was “full of hate.” *After* we learned that the shooter was not registered GOP, but “unaffiliated.” *After* we saw him pull the trigger just as Charlie discussed trans killers. There was zero – ZERO – evidence the shooter was MAGA, had ever been MAGA, or was influenced by MAGA in any way.
This was an intentional lie to GIN UP HATRED toward the very group of people most suffering in the wake of our devastating loss of Charlie and Kimmel did it willfully and even gleefully to a cheering complicit audience.” (source)
What the right gets from this:
Jimmy Kimmel’s boring failure of a show is off the air
What the left gets from this:
enough political capital to last through midterms and just when they were almost completely out
Maybe if the russiagaters had tried to overthrow Israel we’d get accountability.
Go back to bluecry
Jimmy Kimmel said that the CK shooter was MAGA and, with this sentence and this sentence alone, Trump gave the dems campaign ads for months.
And now Kimmel can’t be let go from his job for underperforming, as he would have if Trump hadn’t gotten involved.
And not one russiagate perp held to accountability. Not one. None. Zero.
The points you’re making are not popular.
But that’s not the same as dismissing those points as untrue.
While the actions taken by the Administration are pushing the societal pendulum back toward better values… they are not taking us back toward a more Constitutional, less politicized Federal bureaucracy.
Like a sail boat tacking against the wind, the deep state is now having to steer Right… but I fear it’s still making foreward progress.
You two shows up to give your hope and change moment. How cute.
And they bring some twisted logic this rocket scientist can’t fathom! Not sweatin’ it tho!
Bless their hearts 🤡🤡🤡🤪🤪🤪🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂
Reagan was softer, had a more cultured way of speaking: but he engendered the same sort of leftist hate and mockery that Trump gets.
What is common is the Leftism of their opponents.
I agree with what you are saying, democrat/ leftist in media and the people who rely on it for their entertainment viewing will believe an outright lie because they are incapable of discernment.
Blatant rolcon.
What the Left is getting is a collapse of support from all those who are not the cultic-core, and a reminder, for any in doubt, how far the party has moved in a decade. What the Right has got is nothing but loss, what humanity has gained though is the permission to challenge the insanity that has been forced on them and the strength for them to do so.
p.s. The dig at Israel shows you probable motive for your posting. Won’t work, the Right are increasingly uniting, the Left fragmenting.
I’m not so sure.
I do think we’ll see a record turnout of voters in 2026 voting for whoever has a D next to their name though. And that’s across Democrats, Independents, and a lot of traditionally-Republican voters.
Why? To identify with a party who celebrated the murder of someone whose only crime was that he didn’t agree with the ‘narrative’.
To vote for what?
To vote against what?
I doubt Obama would have intervened so quickly if your prognosis was accurate, the Left have suddenly realised one man’s sacrifice and their complicity in his murder could threaten their entire Jenga tower, not an individual block.
Wait till the full details about the assassin and his network are revealed, wait to the ActBlue investigations show the entire DNC was a financed by little more than a money laundering-Ponzi scheme. Wait till the phantom voters suddenly vanish from the electoral rolls and the money dries up.
They’ll probably be a record turnout, but I doubt it will be towards the Democrats, the political ground was shifting already, now an assassin’s bullet has started an earthquake.
I don’t think I need to explain the Why.
It’s not about Democrat voters, Independents, and lots of Republicans identifying with the Democrat party. They know which party they don’t want to identify with. You can attach a D to a giraffe at this point.
Why do you think the Trump/Heritage administration is moving so quickly right now?
I’m not so sure.
I do think we’ll see a record turnout of voters in 2026 voting for whoever has a D next to their name though. And that’s across Democrats, Independents, and a lot of traditionally-Republican voters.
r0ng.
The D’Leftard Party is toast.
People in general, including Democrats, Independents, and traditionally-Republican voters, are absolutely sick and tired of them and their outrageous, disgusting, and detrimental policies and practices.
There will be a record turnout in 2026.
Count on it.

I have screengrabbed this post and cannot wait to revisit it next year. ☺️
Go you…

What the left gets from this:

Kimmel destroyed his own brand all by himself under the direction of his handlers; see 47 CFR § 73.1217 Broadcast hoaxes as previously cited.
The Left isn’t gaining any political capital at all. Zero.
The Left is continuously losing supporters to the point that all they are now is a figment of their own imaginations, legends in their own minds.
All their years of practicing ‘Cancel Culture’ has finally bit them in the @$$. Finally.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Why invoke ‘Israel’?
Are you throwing shade on behalf of the globalist anti-conservative remnants of society?
0.o
And they wouldn’t have trotted out Obama so quickly if they weren’t deeply, deeply worried.
The left blew any miniscule capital they may have had by celebrating political assassination.
Wrong. The firing of Kimmel moves the needle with the “middle” practically none.
It’s a shame how quickly people want to move on from the very public assassination of a fellow American.
The hollyweird/entertainment (oxymoron)/tv/media crowd have their pant(ie)s in a twist. They’re coming out of the woodwork (like roaches) crying – this will not stand -. Oopsie, yes it will!
Kimmel was NOT funny and ABC took the opportunity to dump him for his abysmal ratings and loss of viewers and mostly of course — $$$.
Ahhh, remember the days of Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin et al???? Those were the days my friend! :):)
“We thought they’d never end.”
“Why didn’t they rent the Mother Theresa?”
If your reply was meant for me, I’m sorry but I don’t understand what your meaning is.
Sue Jimmy and ABC to oblivion.
It was refreshing to see the FCC chairman finally back these people up against the wall too.
Either get rid of Kimmel or lose your license.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
its about time someone said, ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
This is what happens when you live in an echo chamber. But that’s a human weakness.
It’s what can also happen to us if we live in our own echo chamber. We need to be better than the Kimmel crowd if we’re going to generate positive leadership for an entire nation of free people.
Humans are, by default, better than Kimmel.
We already are better than the Kimmel crowd, and smarter too, as we aren’t the ones firing bullets.
And the world is just that little much better. Good riddance.
I posted this from Matthew 12 four days ago. It feels like an encore may be appropriate now:
34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Will never set foot in a Hyatt or sister hotel again.
I hope this stiffens the spines of the station owners groups and causes them to scrutinize the “news” put over their stations. News should be just that, not opinion and not skipping the news they don’t agree with.
I never watch the network news, only local. I still find myself writing complaints about individual news presenters smugly lying about Trump. BTW, I’m in Utah and the station I complain to the most
is KSL, an NBC affiliate owned by the LDS church.
Needs to be noted that the owners of DISNEY (ABC) are currently in negotiations with the FCC and related local businesses to BUY 2 x More TV Networks.
Look for the Disney Slime to put a lid on the SPEW (aka The View) and others until the purchase of the TV networks are completed.
Jimmy Kimmel made me laugh…. … On “The Man Show” with Adam Carolla.
Have fun turning tricks at the Bus Station for half a methadone tablet, Jimmy.
You and Colbert killed off a dying format.
Trampolines were the best. That was ages ago and no semblance of that Kimmel still exists. Corolla has busted him out multiple times.
Precisely. Rogan took over after Jimbo and Adam rolled out to greener pastures. Joe is doing alright. Even Joes cohost Doug something or other is doing better than Jimmy now. What a horrible human being.
I saw his interview with Sarah Silverman and was shocked at what a simpering fool he was. Pretending that he was scared to live here and the fact he had Italian Citizenship now. He knows that there is no criminal action against him unless he incites violence. He was truly pathetic, a little worm.
This is an important post from Mattias Desmet: Please ABSORB! Interested in follow-up comments. lol
Dear friends,
This morning I opened the digital newspapers and the first thing I saw was that the Talkshow van Jimmy Kimmel in America was taken off the air after he made remarks about the murder of Charlie Kirk. He had said that the “MAGA gang” is now trying to further polarize society by suggesting that the ‘child’ who killed Charlie Kirk did not come from MAGA itself.
That statement is likely incorrect. The murderer came from a Republican family but idolized Antifa. It may be that, in terms of identity, he wavered back and forth between extreme right and extreme left. I’m not his psychologist, but anyone with some understanding of human nature knows that a person can contain the most contradictory things at the same time. Especially at the point where his being craves acts to rid itself of destructive impulses, it hardly matters whether the ship is heading for its destrution under a ‘left’ or ‘right’ flag.
Setting that aside, Jimmy Kimmel’s remark is actually beside the point and unwise. The murder is indeed being celebrated mainly on the left, and that clearly shows where the sympathy for it lies.
Now to what I really want to say: I find it troubling that an employer cancels a talk show for that reason, however foolish and wrong the host’s remark may be. For instance, the tasteless remark did not contain a call to violence nor was it a direct threat. A few days earlier Kimmel had called the murder as a senseless act of violence and said he would never understand people who celebrate such a crime. So this is not a form of speech that would fall outside the protection of the famous and esteemed First Amendment.
That brings us to the most problematic aspect: President Donald Trump did not hide his enthusiasm for the show being taken off the air. That aligns with a broader stance of the Trump administration on this matter. The Trump administration also announced last week that anyone who openly approves of Charlie Kirk’s murder would face consequences. In recent days the words have been followed by deeds. In Texas, a hundred teachers were dismissed after they expressed some kind of positive sentiment about the murder on their personal social media profiles. The statements included things like “Karma found him”, “You reap what you sow. This is not a tragedy. It’s a victory”, “Looks like he took one for the team. Hope he is roasting!” or victim-blaming arguments that labeled Kirk as a “racist, homophobic, a misogynist, transphobic nasty person”.
Teachers have a role-model function. That is true. But traditionally they also have petty human sides and say foolish things. Is it really a good development that they are fired for that? I understand that Trump, given his own history, feels the urge to indulge in revengeful sentiments. To give one example: his Twitter-account was removed along with the accounts of several other Republicans. Officially Twitter was responsible for that, but since Mark Zuckerberg’s public confession we know that the Biden administration mercilessly pressured social media platforms to censor dissident voices. Let’s say there is a healthy chance that Biden rather than Twitter was responsible for the censorship.
That does not change the fact: firing teachers is another step in the wrong direction. Re-read the statements I listed above. In most cases here as well there is no form of speech that would not be protected by the First Amendment.
The Republicans had the chance to show that they opposed the trend toward an increasingly intolerant censorship society, with arrests for social media posts that go against the established order (in Great Britain), with Digital Services Acts that lock social media platforms into a politically correct straitjacket (in Europe), with ‘Shield for Democracy’ that monitor citizens into the smallest corners of their privacy while at the same time allowing Ursula von der Leyen to keep her behind-the-scenes deals with the pharmaceutical industry secret (also in Europe), with Joe Biden forcing Mark Zuckerberg and others to censor the truth during the COVID crisis, and so on.
There were already signs that the move toward surveillance and intolerance would not be stopped by Donald Trump. Ultimately, when the chaos is complete and everyone is trying to cancel and sack everyone else, people will ask machines to make ethical and moral judgments. Bill Gates has already enthusiastically announced that he is developing an AI platform that will screen the entire public sphere for disinformation and hate speech. That promises well. John Kerry literally says it here: we need to get rid of that First Amendment to help eliminate disinformation.
The current reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder confirms how hard it is to reverse a trend toward totalitarianism. The only thing that can get the job done is a group of leaders and part of the population that gives ethical principles radical priority over every personal narcissistic injury and the gratification of revenge.
Ultimately it’s not about whether the left or the right is right. The question is how we find a path to a truly humane society. In a truly humane society opinion matters but is nevertheless secondary. Primary is that you grant one another the right to an opinion, even if it deviates from what is generally considered the correct view. I have often said: any group whose binding principle is opinion becomes a mass. Whether that opinion is left or right is of secondary importance.
There is nothing to expect from any group that sanctifies opinions and brands other opinions as illegitimate and censurable. Yet there is something to expect from a group united by a genuine tolerance for different opinions, a group that consistently practices the most fundamental of all arts: the art of sincere speaking and sincere listening — an art we can only practice if we can minimally put aside the narcissism of being unquestionably right and allow, through the cracks and gaps in our ego, a little of the Other with a different opinion inside.
In principle, the solution to totalitarianism is actually simple. Once the group that unites around sincere speaking and listening becomes stronger than the masses that form around a (propagandized) opinion, the era of totalitarianism will be over.

I would tell that writer – once Democrats are back in power, the pendulum is going to swing back ridicuously hard.
Here is what I think,it was a waste of space and my time to read any of it ,especially this,
“That statement is likely incorrect. The murderer came from a Republican family but idolized Antifa. It may be that, in terms of identity, he wavered back and forth between extreme right and extreme left. I’m not his psychologist, but anyone with some understanding of human nature knows that a person can contain the most contradictory things at the same time. Especially at the point where his being craves acts to rid itself of destructive impulses, it hardly matters whether the ship is heading for its destrution under a ‘left’ or ‘right’ flag.”
TLDR
I won’t miss Kimmel or ABC because I don’t watch him or his network. Everyone should write their sponsors to get them from funding this rot on public television. Everyone should write their congressional representatives and get them to force the FCC to pull the networks license. Enough is enough.
Lefty heads are exploding everywhere over this.
Nah. That’s all for TV. They don’t give a crap, just like I don’t. Sound bite life is their gig.
A great essay over at Daily Caller:
https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/18/ingersoll-jimmy-kimmel-cancelled-charlie-kirk-assassination-liberal-monopoly/
When I think of how Disney has become so degraded, from the Disney character fellow having a cigarette break at Disneyland, to the recent version of “Snow White” to what is purveyed on ABC these days with the likes of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, I just have to think Walt Disney would be horrified and furious.
When we were little, our parents took us to Disneyland from when it first opened and through the 1960’s; we watched “The Wonderful World of Disney” on tv on Sunday nights, as I recall and of course went to see all the Disney movies; everything Disney was part of our growing up.
We had seen the “Swiss Family Robinson” movie and not long afterwards, somehow I had the book; Mom probably bought it for us at Vroman’s in Pasadena because she knew we loved the movie (she had not read the book). Well, I was absolutely traumatized reading the part about a snake and a horse or a donkey and the snake could not be stopped – they didn’t have a gun handy, I don’t know what – but THAT was not in the movie! Dear Walt Disney was trying to save my young nerves and didn’t put that in the movie – I loved him more, for it – he was like one of my Grandmothers who was always trying to head things off at the pass, to help us keep our childhood bliss. If she had been reading that book to us, she would have totally skipped that part.
Now I suppose if Disney ever remakes “Swiss Family Robinson” they would have the poor horse or donkey and the snake in there to traumatize children.
I love the old Disney movies I grew up with too. I don’t know if that scene was cut to spare children some trauma. Disney movies and cartoons really tugged at the heart strings and showed death like in Bambi and Old Yeller.
Roseanne was fired from the #1 sitcom b/c of a single tweet for which she apologized but the lefties and Obama admin put pressure on ABC to fire her.
Jimmy Kimmel is in a LOW rated, failing late night show, with a long history of one sided “jokes” that ride the edge of fomenting violence and has NOT apologized.
The hypocrisy of the left something else.
The whole cast turned against Roseanne. You find out who your friends are when the chips are down.
Good point regarding Roseanne. The left also silenced a sitting President with twitters & face book. Look at the damage Obama did in 8 years with his lying color revolution. He’s a Marxist. Only thing the left understands is strength. They hit us, we hit them back twice as hard. We are in a war. 3 distinct wooses on this thread. Hey, go for it I say. 1st amendment and all. Lastly, elections have consequences!
“There was zero – ZERO – evidence the shooter was MAGA, had ever been MAGA, or was influenced by MAGA in any way.”
We need to be precise. His family seems to be normie. It’s not known if he was influenced by MAGA in the past. This is critical to understand- the left and the sexually deviant turn normal people into vampires like themselves.
We need to be asking how and by whom the assassin was turned from an ordinary kid into a deviant monster. Why did it happen so fast? What were the precursors? How do we prevent this from happening to more and more people?
This requires honesty about his background, the failures of his family and community, the grievances he might carry that the left exploited once he arrived at college, etc.
I know so many families who are losing adult children to this demonic ideology. It starts in the heart of the one who is deceived- harboring resentment, addiction, pride, etc.- but families and communities need to understand this and actively work on restoration before the devil finds and exploits these footholds.
Never saw his show, never even heard his voice, til I clicked on his “joke” made at Charlie’s expense.
Reprehensible, obviously. But also, so small. So very, very small.
FAFO.
Kimmels wife is his producer and lead writer. That pig needs to be made famous also.
The fact that the left is more upset about Jimmy Kimmel’s firing, than they are about Charlie Kirk’s assassination,
Tell you all you need to know.
The dude is literally a clown who has one job – entertain people. Espousing objectionable political comments just isn’t entertaining. Shut up and make us laugh or go to msnbc and become a political pundit.
I’ve seen cries to “turn down the temperature” … I think claims of “Nazi !!!” and “fascist !!!” fall in that category
Some are not complying, obviously
SICK: Hillary Clinton Promotes Book “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” One Week After Charlie Kirk Assassinated on Campus
Speaking of fascists…a national union head who presides over governmental meetings.
Another leftist hack, on a money-laundering tour.
So strident, a braying mule. Her poor husband. Oh, wait…
Can you imagine Johnny Carson seeing this madness play out on late night TV?
See Jay Leno’s response to this.
Sorry , I don’t have a link.
But his response was that of a decent, reasoned, person.
Even Terry Bradshaw is somewhere going, ‘yeah buddy’.
Free speech is free speech. When the other party gets back in office – and eventually, it will happen – this will be the justification given to completely finish off whatever is left of opposing voices. The administration is not only exposing itself to massive scrutiny, but probably also several lawsuits, especially if they indeed pressured the network to fire Kimmel solely based on his opening monologue; good luck with that. It is difficult to believe that instead of going after domestic terrorist organizations they have chosen to use the opportunity to go on record blathering about so-called hate speech. If laws or ethics violations have occurred due to social media posts, then by all means do what needs to be done. But going knives out on people who have exercised free speech – however hurtful or in poor taste it may be – and where no laws or FCC regulations have been violated is by no means a win.
And so it goes until it goes hot, or not. The whole point of the Kirk awakening is a return to courage. We should all aspire to live and die the way he did. That’s why this is different. Our righteous anger is much more powerful than the left’s manufactured self-righteous fraud. No more!!! It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life…
You are talking out of the side of your mouth,it is the left who wants to shut down free speech.
The left would do that anyway if it gets back in office. The “let’s not fight back, turn the other cheek” approach that has traditionally characterized the GOP has been a complete failure and has no place in the America first movement. You must be forgetting how the Biden administration forced social media companies and the news media to censor covid information it didn’t want the public knowing and to punish those spreading that information. We thought it was outrageous, and our side sued and won initially, but the Supreme Court, including three republican-appointed judges, essentially said it is just fine for government to coerce the media to censor speech it doesn’t like and to punish those expressing such speech. We’re just playing by the new rules as set by the Supreme Court.
Maybe the left will agree to go back to the original rules. Fine, but that will never happen if we don’t fight fire with fire. They are used to our side being cowardly and not fighting back. That’s the real reason for the outrage: President Trump fights back and is doing the same thing the Biden administration did and that the Supreme Court said is just fine.
Name one time, just one, where the turn the other cheek approach caused the left to retreat from its assault on this country.
Not sure how one arrives to this conclusion based on my above post. Not advocating a turn the other cheek doctrine.
Here is something to consider: Bondi going on television and declaring that the DOJ will go after “hate speech“ is not a win for the Constitution, free speech advocates or US citizens. Recall that idiot governor running for VP in the last election cycle who said “hate speech“ absolutely exists. Did a plurality or majority of voters want that? Absolutely not. It is a complete undoing of hard-fought cases spanning several decades, and the idea itself spans several centuries. So why would anybody consider that to be fighting back? Against whom or what, exactly? There are a multitude of ways of dealing with this without sacrificing inalienable rights.
Re turning the other cheek: Has the current administration brought any criminal charges against any of the alphabets for what they have done over the last 10 years? Have there been any attempts to charge them under RICO statutes? Why not?
Jimmy Kimmel exercised his free speech when he lied. He falsely claimed Charlie Kirk’s assassin was MAGA. Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a leftist, just like Jimmy Kimmel.
There are consequences for Jimmy Kimmel and ABC owned by Disney.
People stop watching his show and affiliates rebel by refusing to air the Jimmy Kimmel show. Loss of trust, major loss of revenue.
Madow’s hairline is receding, but it along with the necktie look like the transition is complete.
Poor Jimmy. He could use his previous makeup skills to apply blackface, add some dreads and join the cast of “The View”.
Late night tv talk died years ago. I know Carson wasn’t conservative, but he took aim in his monologues at all Presidents. Dick Cavett also did professional interviews. Those days are gone. I haven’t watched late night tv, including SNL, since before Leno. I doubt this even humbles Kimmel, he is that smug.
Kimmell is vile and malicious SOBs and might be even a pervert. then why ABC still paying that non talent puke with zero audience? Maybe he was included in Epstein black book.
AI mines the internet and culture. It is so important the propaganda if not put in check, is at least drowned out by a sea of voices. THIS is *why* shutting Kimmelthink down is imperative. AI is here to stay and we’re programming the beast with every freaking thing we drop into the internet.
For all those complaining about losing their jobs for what they said about Charlie, Charlie lost his life for what he said!
Any organization that pays a person like Kimmel who has no notable accomplishment in life to bash America nightly is not my cup of tea.
Kimmel’s days were numbered and he knew it. I think he knew what he was doing and knew what the results would be. Leaving his show with such enormous publicity was an opportunity to be exploited for his personal gain.
I watched the dolt a few times. I really never did anything that was close to comedy.
not necessarily true with Colbert. he had some good stuff, made me laugh at times. I can find satire even politically adversarial comedy a ok.
but the real reason I wrote this.
Colbert was fired because he show was losing millions and millions and the advertisers just wasn’t making it there.
so why did Kimmel go for so long. you can’t convince me his show was making money. there wasn’t anything to laugh about. just strained block headed political commentary that was so out of touch with reality.
so really this was just a matter of time. I think the parent company got rid of him using this as an excuse and a political point that they were pressured to do so.
either way, good riddance.
‘...blamed the shooting motive on the MAGA mindset‘
Gaslighting. The MO of the left.
They got a big boost from postmodernism taking over the academy. In this worldview, there is no such thing as objective truth and reality. Rampant surreal gaslighting is the result.
It’s deception on a societal scale. Who is the father of lies?
As I write this, it’s Friday morning. I want to see what the nosepickers on Saturday Night Live do. SNL is just as much a political mouthpiece as Kimmel and Colbert were. It must be quite a temptation for them to mock the brutal murders of Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk.
I wonder if they sit around the writer’s room, laughing like hell as they replay those videos over and over and making jokes. Obviously that’s what happened at the Kimmel show. And Kimmel’s agent says he’s “f**king livid” over the suspension. Always the victim, eh Jimmy?
Jake sounds like he’s worried about saying the wrong thing.
Kimmel is just one more ABC mentally confused never accomplished anything paid for mouth that distracts people from taking the time to think.
The Hollywood Reporter, hardly a den of MAGAs, pulled back the curtain on what actually happened:
Nextar and Sinclair called Disney “WTF bruh?”
Disney equivocated
Sponsors started burning up the phonelines to Nextar and Sinclair “WTF bruh? We’re not going to waste money on this a-hole!”
Nextar and Sinclair tell Disney to fix this or they’re pulling the plug on Kimmel
Disney begs Kimmel to retract his lie and apologise
Kimmel throws a fit, refuses and further states that he’s doubling down
Disney pulls the plug

Good for Megyn Kelly to enunciate that as perfectly as she did, and thank you CTH for posting it…
