Just to be clear: they suspended him for criticizing MAGA for trying to claim that the killer wasn’t one of them. He didn’t say anything about Charlie Kirk. He was censored for speaking truth by his own network. Not only censored, censured and suspended indefinitely.
We’re 100% there kids. The founding fathers made a point to put something right after freedom of speech, from religion, and of assembly. Right there 2nd in order. Unabridged. Welp the 1st amendment is being abridged as we speak. And I hear that second thing was put in place to protect that first thing. I’ve been hearing it for over 50 years.
*quick edit in case anyone else wants to try to educate me about the constitution: no, he isn’t protected by the 1st amendment from getting suspended. ABC should be protected but seeing as they’ve already settled for $16 million over threats on their FCC license and brought in new trump-friendly leadership, we can all agree he wasn’t suspended due to ratings drops. Stop pretending things are normal. This is an obvious 1st amendment issue.
Is your country great again? Was so difficult to vote for her instead to avoid this fascistic nightmare, wasn’t it?
That slogan “Make America great again” made us Germans very uneasy from the start, cause we remember the last guy who promised us (very literally) to make Germany great again.
See, I’m someone who can’t stand Jimmy Kimmel. I find him both unfunny and very annoying as a person, and I never thought there would come a day where I would actually defend him vigorously, but here we are.
This is truly inexcusable. This is the most blatant violation of the first amendment possible. This is a clear cut example of the government coercing and colluding with corporations to censor a private citizen on a private show for comments that are perfectly legal. He was only censored because MAGA morons got triggered by a statement that’s not even controversial. Even IF it was controversial, that’s literally the whole point of free speech. It’s to defend offensive, controversial, and unpopular opinions from government persecution.
See, I didn’t care much when Colbert got cancelled because it seemed like it was a business decision, sure, whatever. But this? This is MAGA crossing a line that should never be crossed. We’re starting to enter into actual tyranny territory from this administration. The only MAGA conservatives left are either slimy opportunists or blind loyalists, so I’m not holding my breath on them holding themselves accountable. However, I am hoping that everyone else stands up and takes a stand against this because the consequences of this are very, very serious.
Wow, this is great.
The Nazis are here folks - be ready
They’ve been there a while, and it’s already too late.
Why is everyone acting surprised, Trump said Kimmel is Next after he made Colbert fired: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5410016-donald-trump-jimmy-kimmel-stephen-colbert-cbs/
Clearly it isn’t because of his Kirk comments, since he never actually made any. Piss poor excuse and abhorrent behavior by ABC.
Yeah this has nothing to do with Kirk and everything to do with fascists being fascists.
Berlusconi did the same 20 years ago in Italy, he made some journalists and TV personalities disappear completely from all TV channels. Trump is just following the same pattern.

Shame, but Kimmel’s show was getting repetitive lately
