Jimmy Kimmel's Gone - - Who's Next?

Post Reply New Topic

Corporate America again demonstrates they lack vertebrae of any kind. Jimmy Kimmel has gotten the axe:

If JKL is cancelled (from what I've read, the show was only suspended, though Jimmy Kimmel hinted that he might retire after his contract is up--this was before the suspension, though), and with the Late Show ending next year, I guess The Tonight Show is the last one.

right on schedule, Pam Bondi threatened to prosecute anybody who protests against right wing anything at all.

And to think, the only network I know of so far that stands up to Trump, is tiny Comedy Central.

I think they were looking to get rid of him and needed a reason, so they went with this. Also, there have been government employees getting fired for comments made about Charlie Kirk on social media. This is why I tell people do not allow your employer or anyone connected to the workplace have access to you on social media.

It's like Rahm Emmanuel once said " never let a crisis go to waste" and it seems Trump & co are doing just that.

So don't be friends with co-workers on FB?

Is it a coincidence Stephen Colbert (also not a fan of trump) was cancelled back in July?

Perhaps Kimmel was also already in the MAGA crosshairs. this just provided the excuse

Once upon a Time in America. ( There was a capacity for Free Speech )

^^^ Not really, in the 1950s Americans were arrested or had to leave the country if they were accused of being a communist.

Yeah that is true. They referred to that decade as "McCarthyism", named after Jospeh McCarthy who was basically the Donald Trump of his time.

I had a Japanese language school teacher that was rounded up and had to live in an Internment Camp.

Definitely a stain on America's history along with African slavery and the genocide of the indigenous people who were here first.

Also I don't like the way that a lot of fellow Americans I know feel essentially zero guilt over nuking Japan not once but twice. Hell they practically take pride in it and will say stupid crap like "It ended the war and saved lives!! !"

To me using the atom bomb was opening the pandora's box for our apocalypse. And it was a terrible thing to do to the Japanese even if they were our enemies at the time.

Or, if you do have co-workers as FB friends, then don't talk about politics or anything else even remotely controversial on FB.

In general, unless you are earning a living from something related to politics, don't discuss politics in any online context where your legal name is visible.

Maybe Tucker Carlson or The Daily Show.

Daily Show's Desi Lydic basically did the same thing as Jimmy Kimmel, alluding indirectly to the shooter having MAGA influence and ridiculing trump's response to the shooting. Jon Stewart is coming out of retirement to cover for Kimmel.

Tucker’s podcast is his own opertion
