Kimmel removed: This is Trump fascism Posted by greenman on September 17, 2025, 7:44 pm Valued Poster https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jimmy-kimmel-abc-charlie-kirk_n_68cb3778e4b0a2e5bdc6f10b ABC is yanking Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show off the air indefinitely in the wake of comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s killing, according to a network spokesperson. “Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” the spokesperson told HuffPost in a statement. On Monday, Kimmel suggested that the suspected shooter in Kirk’s assassination could have adhered to right-wing views, a statement that’s drawn the ire of conservatives and threats of penalties from FCC Chair Brendan Carr. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.” Time for a Second Amendment solution? -greenman

Ya know what this reminds me of? Posted by dancing digits on September 18, 2025, 2:14 am, in reply to "Kimmel removed: This is Trump fascism" Valued Poster When Nixon pushed to have The Smothers Brothers booted off the air. Be the change. . .

Oh yeah Posted by greenman on September 18, 2025, 7:52 am, in reply to "Ya know what this reminds me of?" Valued Poster He hated them, they mocked him and the war incessantly. He's a lot like Nixon, only dumber.. -greenman

A lot dumber indeed!!! At least Nixon had the sense to resign. Donnie Posted by dancing digits on September 18, 2025, 9:55 am, in reply to "Oh yeah" Valued Poster likes to pretend the world loves him. Be the change. . .

Nixon still believed in America and the Constitution. Posted by greenman on September 18, 2025, 10:13 am, in reply to "A lot dumber indeed!!! At least Nixon had the sense to resign. Donnie" Valued Poster So did Reagan. Trump doesn't. Trump wants to be the Boss Man. Bs us to be his slaves. -greenman

Yes - agreed. Posted by dancing digits on September 18, 2025, 10:33 am, in reply to "Nixon still believed in America and the Constitution." Valued Poster Nixon's problem was that he permitted the desire to stay in office to overshadow his morals/judgment. Trump and the word Constitution don't belong in the same sentence. He swore to uphold the Constitution, and then turned around and thumbed his nose up at it. Be the change. . .

WTF?? For SUGGESTING that his killer might not be left wing?? Posted by Sia on September 17, 2025, 8:50 pm, in reply to "Kimmel removed: This is Trump fascism" ADMIN Seriously? WHAT, exactly, is wrong with him questioning whether the killer leans left or right???? America, we HAVE a problem! A MAJOR problem!! Free speech is protected, even if it is false, mean, or trolling, but ESPECIALLY if it is merely asking questions and suggesting some may have things wrong.

The way I understood Kimmel's commentary was that Posted by dancing digits on September 18, 2025, 10:03 am, in reply to "WTF?? For SUGGESTING that his killer might not be left wing?? " Trump will look everywhere for who the killer is affiliated with, but never in his own camp. For some reason the network has skewed his comment to mean Kimmel was stating as if it were a fact that the killer was indeed in Trump's camp. (I have no doubt that what motivated the network was pressure from Trump.) That is not what I heard Kimmel say. Kimmel condemned the killing in the beginning of his monologue. There's been protests over Kimmel getting the boot, but that won't work. . .not when you have a king in office. (Yea, we don't have a king. . . but. . . tell that to Trump and his cronies.) And its really besides the point - free speech is free speech. A person doesn't have to like what is said, can even be offended by it. . . but examination of ALL ideas is how we learn what is good and what is bad. Trump wants everything sanitized to favor him. He is a coward - runs from criticism instead of answering to it. But that is typical of a bully. Be the change. . .

It's Naziism outright. Posted by greenman on September 17, 2025, 9:06 pm, in reply to "WTF?? For SUGGESTING that his killer might not be left wing?? " Valued Poster The media MUST fight back. Start by boycotting the filth at ABC. I sent them an angry text, FWIW. -greenman

I haven't watched their network in ages Posted by Sia on September 17, 2025, 9:09 pm, in reply to "It's Naziism outright." ADMIN Aside of occasionally watching Kimmel.

It is absolutely a violation of the First Amendment. Posted by greenman on September 17, 2025, 10:00 pm, in reply to "I haven't watched their network in ages" Valued Poster Trump should be impeached, and the network fined and punished. -greenman
