I’ll tell you who’s next. SNL is next. This is just the beginning. Just watch ~ give it time. People don’t think Trump will go after them? He most definitely will. His thin skin can’t handle the genius that is SNL. We are at a very scary and sad stage in this country. And to think we still have THREE more years of this bully. He is going to take down this ENTIRE country…
Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, lawsuits against the NYT, WSJ and 60 Minutes, blocking AP from the White House and the list goes on...
This admin is carrying out the MOST blatant attacks on the free press in American history.
The cancellation of Colbert and Kimmel makes bullies feel victorious. But they laugh at their own doom. Both were collateral damage in the attack on the First Amendment.
What will be left of it?
Meanwhile, corporations are happy to bend the knee and the free press is becoming a thing of the past. Who’s going to stop this tyranny?
I invoke my First Amendment rights to wear freely this anti-Trump t-shirt on Halloween 👇
Great shirt. I bought a bunch of various T-Shirts myself! Boy! Do I get looks when I'm out . . . . I live in FL! I don't get out much b/c I'm very ill, but when I do, I flaunt my shirts!
I'm really surprised he hasn't gone after SNL. But Lorne Michaels seems to be a quiet man and you know what they say about the quiet ones. He's also worth around $500M, maybe a pittance compared to the orange felon, but still enough to fight back. Actually, I think the orange felon likes how James Austin Johnson portrays him. He's so narcissistic and too stupid to realize they are mocking him. I guess time will tell.
"By suspending Jimmy Kimmel Live you are silencing one of the few beacons of truth in American mainstream video media. Kirk's death was tragic, but so was the rancor he directed at various groups in this country. I can understand why ABC felt it can not survive without bending both knees to the autocratic Trump regime. As history proves, however, that will not stop the regime from seeking to limit and limit and limit the content you provide until nothing of value is left, including an audience for ABC programming. ABC needs to grow a pair and stand up to a national regime that is creating havoc in the lives of parents and children, Latinos, Blacks, poor people, LGBTQ people, those in poor health especially seniors, and others all in the name of rewarding the wealthiest who have more than they need right now.
I am so upset and disgusted by this - censorship and violation of our freedom of speech - as well as extortion that the corporate media is too chicken to call out and stand up to. What Jimmy said about the CK killing is not nearly as divisive and horrible as what Trump said.

NO!!!! HELL NO!!!!! Flip the script:
“First we fired Katie Phang, bc we thought independent thought would cost us $…then we fired Terry Moran bc we’d already paid Orange taco millions of $. Then we fired Stephen Colbert bc we wanted a favorable FCC ruling, then Matthew Dowd, & we arrested Rev. Barber for praying for healthcare in the peoples’ capitol foyer, then Jimmy Kimmel bc we wanted to buy more local tv stations…and…then…then nobody paid us any attention & we lost our sponsors and went bankrupt and went to prison for corruption…All because of that distant voice of the RESISTANCE that started on Substack and Legal AF…and grew and grew and grew…
Oh he's far beyond that now. His malignant narcissism is going inside out and up and down due to him wanting us all to Shut Up about #TheEPSTEINfiles! That will drive him even more insane than he already is b/c it's scaring the shit right out of him.
BRING ON THE EPSTEIN FILES ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER Give up saying that.
..faux needs another good lawsuit for seems to me iciting evil things to happen to the homeless being put in detainment or being euthanized...they are inhumane...we need to stop watching Mainstream Lying so called media...I watch local Chicago Stephan Holt and occasionally world news find out breaking news but when I found out about kirk but they didn't report on the Denver School Shooting I was livid! I watch Roland Martin and The Miedas Touch for the real news....
We own free speech. We’re not about to be cowered by a lunatic, a nazi, the incompetents nor any of the sycophants. Tech bros better hope Trumpet doesn’t give all their secrets to the Devil.
Trump is a piece of shit. Yes. I wrote that out. I meant to, and NO, I did not call for a brutal, heinous attack upon him, or anyone else. I simply stated what I FEEL! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
No. Do NOT allow them to - even rhetorically - “toss you out of a window”. Get ready to defend yourself by any means necessary. Then toss THEM out of a window.
Goddammit, my favorite blow-shit-up show, Burn Notice, is on Hulu, and now I hafta fukkin cancel Hulu because they are useless, craven chickenshits sucking up to trump. Plus I Love Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo.
If I was Kermit the Frog or Cookie Monster, I would be looking behind me and locking the doors. Orwell's 1984 had the Thought Police, but the grotesque fascist bloat wants to have the Feelings Police or the GOP Snowflake Police? As corrupt, cowardly, corporate media bows and gives offerings of millions to a mad king, America dies another way. Free speech is the latest victim of trump and his conservative scotus. Corruption piled upon corruption. I guess people are more comfortable with fox's Killmeade saying that the homeless, including apparently veterans and children, should face involuntary euthanasia, execution style. But tell a joke or tell the truth and the Feelings Police will be at your door demanding offerings to the mentally and physically failing, flailing, epstein buddy. The entire trump admin is full of dangerous psychos. I hope the voters for the trump monster are pleased...
Trump has just been waiting for ANY reason other than “he’s mean to me and not funny” for years. My dream is that all of these late night hosts get together to do something together, like the podcast they did during the writers’ strike. It was great, off the cuff, funny, and highlighted each of their talents. Admittedly, Kimmel has been my favorite, and I only see them all on YouTube because I cut cable years ago. Free speech . . . LMAO!
Outrageous! I mean this is so un-American. Just shameful. Intimidation, bullying, revenge, name calling, hate, bias....there's nothing good coming out of this administration and Congress. Disheartening to see what's happening to our country.
I feel like just watching that was an act of defiance!!!
I stand with you guys and Meidas!!
Love you guys 💙💜👊🏼
FUCK trump 🖕🏼👹🤡

Trump CAN'T touch me for what I say.
The gall of this man is unnerving.
SCOTUS gave a MENTALLY ILL "thing" IMMUNITY! It's unbelievable. But now we know they were in on this all along. >>:()
Great shirt. I bought a bunch of various T-Shirts myself! Boy! Do I get looks when I'm out . . . . I live in FL! I don't get out much b/c I'm very ill, but when I do, I flaunt my shirts!
And Seth Meyers!
We and I: WILL NEVVA LET THAT—HAPPEN.

The U.S. military will eventually put an end to this bullshit! Why are they not in Chicago? Because they said no!!!
A few minutes after ABC suspended the Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show for comments Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk I sent the letter below to ABC at this web address: https://support.abc.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360003079511

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This 78 yr old is giving you a thousand thumbs up and clapping like crazy!
We all need to DO this! Thanks again!
Amen!

This is extortion of the corporate media!
Trump is a pussy with lousy makeup. He can go fuck himself.
Jimmy Kimmel hasn't said anything the right has said when the CK incident occurred. So hypocritical 🤬
All the MAGAS are hypocrites!!! They’re pathetic!

Nothing better than a really strong boycott
F them there is plenty on internet and other media platforms to stay entertained
Next they will come for SNL and especially Weekend Update and John Oliver &&&&
Trump is still trying to pay back Obama for humiliating him at the correspondents dinner
Oh he's far beyond that now. His malignant narcissism is going inside out and up and down due to him wanting us all to Shut Up about #TheEPSTEINfiles! That will drive him even more insane than he already is b/c it's scaring the shit right out of him.

I won't shut up. He can toss me out of a window, I'll go out screaming " trump is a child rapist". Fuck him.

He will be silencing all of us if we let him!!!
Goddammit, my favorite blow-shit-up show, Burn Notice, is on Hulu, and now I hafta fukkin cancel Hulu because they are useless, craven chickenshits sucking up to trump. Plus I Love Jimmy Kimmel and Guillermo.
Unless this is a new iteration of "Burn Notice," the show is available on DVDs.
