Jackson Jambalaya

Now get rid of those cows on The View

Thanks for showing us you do not give one good goddamn about the first amendment

So sad. The lefties are falling like flies. They didn't get the memo from Miss Manners explaining that it's not nice to talk bad about the deceased.

Cancel culture

I'm sorry. Did you bitch when the New York Times fired the editor who ran Tom Cotton's column because some black supremacists on staff got mad?

So…much…freedom

7:06 pretty sure he wasn’t imprisoned and is free to continue speaking as he wishes. He’ll just be doing it for free now instead of drawing a salary. I guess we’ll see how much of a true believer he is since he won’t be paid for spouting his crap anymore.

Freedom to get your ass shitcanned. FAFO

September 17, 2025 at 7:06 PM; at least he wasn't murdered in front of his family and thousands of people for sharing what he believed.

he got fired because he was lying. all. the. time. he got fired because the FCC was gonna be on disney and abc's asses over his lies. he was fired because disney/abc didn't want to get sued again. and lose, again.

haven't the lefties/progressives/democrats been celebrating charlie kirk's murder, by saying he deserved it? so, for you, is it ok for people to be happy about a man getting murdered for sharing his faith, ideas, beliefs, and opinions, in a very civilized manner, willing to debate anybody, anywhere, but we can't be happy that a guy that has been lying about a majority of the country for years, spreading the lies that helped push that mentally ill deranged individual to murdering charlie was fired? i'm glad he's fired. i would not be glad he was murdered.

with all rights, come responsibilities. crybaby kimmel didn't think there would be any because he and so many others have gone so long without any. well, that time has come to an end. anybody can say anything they want to about anybody or anything else; just be ready for the consequences.

he should have stuck with the titties and beer, that was at least entertaining and honest.

ABC said suspended indefinitely, it did not say canceled. Yes he lost a few dozen stations, but time will tell if he is permanently canceled. Many on the left are trying to claim the shooter was conservative, but it appears he changed within the last few years. I guess they think they can convince folks that a guy in a relationship within another guy that wants to be a girl is still conservative.

There is definitely some cancel culture happening concerning the killing, but some employers are not going to let you get too out of line.

The 1st amendment doesn’t protect you from consequences of said free speech.

Jimmy used to be funny. He also used to do blackface and watch babes jump on trampolines with Adam Corolla. Then he got into a relationship with Sarah Silverman and became as insufferable and unfunny as her.

Conan stopped being funny too. When you stop being funny it is time to retire and go home.

About freaking time. He was a piece of garbage & smelled up Disney! He was a Pompous ass and was Hollywood mouthpiece. Ger Charlie Kirk out of your mouth!

“Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel during an interview with conservative political podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday and suggested the regulatory agency could take action against the broadcast licenses of ABC-owned stations.”

If this doesn’t scare the shit out of you, then you either don’t care about the Bill of Rights or are too stupid to understand it.

He wasn’t arrested. He was fired. We should all have some decency and if we don’t, we’ll suffer the consequences.

The First Amendment protects you from the Federal Government from limiting your speech. It has nothing to do with businesses and employees.

A standing ovation for Nexstar on this one!!!!

Who is Kimmel?

Too funny.

Attention @7:06...
The First amendment guarentees the freedom of speech. It says NOTHING about the consequences of that speech. You are free to say what youy want, but there will be consequwences.

This communism is coming along really well.

He got canceled because two companies who own multiple local television stations across the country threatened to no longer air his show and possibly leave ABC. He has a right to free speech, these companies have the right not to broadcast it.

@7:06 Thanks for letting us know you don’t know what the 1st Amendment means.

The NY Times knowingly hired an editor Sarah Jeong who had stated, " "Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men."

The NY Times is an institutionally racist organization.

His ratings sucked. They were looking for a reason

The right playing the left at their own game. Now the left wingers are crying and screaming about free speech, funny how this is all playing out, especially given the situation. I love it!

7:06 The difference is he worked for a company and they have their own standards. HE can say whatever he wants, but not on their network representing them.

8:07 - If you are a lifelong resident of Jackson maybe you remember when the FCC yanked WLBT's license.

https://www.wlbt.com/2023/08/01/vault-fcc-yanks-wlbts-license/

https://mississippiencyclopedia.org/entries/wlbt-tv-and-civil-rights/

Just Dismiss the box that says to suscribe and you can still read the article for the NY Times link below:
https://www.nytimes.com/1969/06/24/archives/fcc-is-rebuked-by-appeals-court-in-burger-decision-fcc-rebuked-by.html#

Nope. Consequence culture.

7:06, Jimmy Kimmel is still free to say pretty much anything he wants, just as you are free to tell your wife she looks fat in that new dress. The First Amendment does not, however, shield either of you from consequences.

The peanut gallery here will try and convince you that the Dixie Chicks fans boycotting their music is somehow "censorship"

Free speech doesn't mean an employer has to pay you to be an asshole.

I’d call this a great opportunity. I’d like to seem them restore late night entertainment again.

The times they are a changing again.

Sounds to me like y'all people want hate speech laws - the very opposite of the martyr's wishes. Again, which side is benefiting most off the assassination.

Lou Dobbs got fired for the same thing: spreading misinformation, yet I don't recall anyone whining about Kimmel crying about Dobbs.

Watch out Fish, you could be next if you don’t fall in line.

You print DL’s lies and half truths every week.

I personally hope Kimmel got canceled but that isn’t what it says. It says suspended indefinitely. I bet Disney will be seeing how the political climate is going forward and will attempt to bring him back after a while.

Good riddance! Who watched that washed up loser anyway!

Remember when removing Russian propaganda, neo-nazi rants, and fake news from social media sites violated the 1st Amendment?

It was only about a year ago, but it seems so much longer.

Maga won’t stay in power forever. When the day comes that the same standards you applied to others get applied to you (on cancel culture and everything else), my tear ducts will be incredibly dry for you.

You’re gonna find out one day that karma is a bitch

For those who haven't seen, Johnny Carson had it right:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DI3W2XZSCPb/?hl=en

Kimmel speaks the truth...my man !

Freedom is nothing left to lose

His ratings were in the toilet. He alienated half the nation with his rhetoric and said he didn’t want anyone that voted for Trump to watch his show. This was a business decision and here was their excuse to take him off the air.

Nobody watches late night anymore, except for Gutfeld.

Consequences like the FCC pulling your stations license for speaking freely?

Do you think Brian Kilmeade at Fox News is next? Openly calling for murdering homeless is pretty extreme. Will the FCC threaten to pull Fox licensing like they did to ABC?

Gutted may be next. He had some pretty awful jokes about Charlie. Maybe the FCC won’t go after only one side, just kidding he’s completely safe.

The issue isn’t that Disney suspended Kimmel, it’s that the FCC threatened the license of ABC if they didn’t. Do you see the difference Kingfish?

Jimmy Kimmel has no couth, and like many if not most DEMOCRATS, there might be nothing, absolutely nothing they would love more right now than to keep STIRRING THE POLITICAL VIOLENCE POT until some mentally ill Tim McVeigh type retaliates. And if CHILDREN DIE, they’re just COLLATERAL DAMAGE to DEMOCRATS like Jimmy Kimmel.

With their propagandist media partners, Democrats could then take the spotlight off of all of their criminal evil, and have a field day flipping the script.

Watching colleges expel students, people being fired, Jimmy Kimmel being “pre-empted indefinitely,” at least gives us hope that at there are some leaders in our country that fully understand the powder keg situation we are in right now. But we need leadership in educating the public that MORE VIOLENCE IS EXACTLY WHAT DEMOCRTATS WANT, and we need to make certain that NOBODY TAKES THE BAIT from Jimmy Kimmel and his evil Democrat partners.

Agreed I could see Fox getting canceled day one.

He got canned because Taco Trump is a thin-skinned manbaby who can't take any criticism. Maybe if he had joked about euthanizing homeless people like a certain Fox News host he'd still have a job.

No. He will most certainly be paid his entire 100mm contract.

Lies

What did he say that was so bad?

Didn’t the Utah governor pray for 33 hours that the shooter would not be “one of use?” Thats a direct quote. Has he been cancelled?

Not what happened. FCC did not threaten to revoke license. What really made them do it was Nextstar. Look at the markets of their stations: Nashville, New Orleans, Hartford, Syracuse, Youngston, Sioux City, Knoxville, Harrisburg, Salt Lake City, and others. That's a lot of markets to lose for a show on the decline and struggling to hold viewers.

The truth is Kimmel has been getting more and more political for quite some time. He finally went too far. They treated him the way they treated Lou Dobbs for spreading misinformation. I don't recall any of you crying about the Dobbs firing or that NYT editor. You only bitch when it's your own side.

Gina Carano says hey.

I hear they're hiring boat crews in Venezuela.

MAGA is the biggest bunch of safe space snowflakes to have ever existed. What a miserable bunch of losers.

7:06 PM, Jimmy Kimmel is not in jail for his, what Democrats would call, “hate speech.”

But ABC has the right to contain a shit stirring hater intent on agitating until more people die.

And the FCC can threaten their entire station’s license for having speech that goes against the presidents wishes. That’s totally fine, nothing to see here. We’re not huge hypocrites who don’t care one bit about the constitution. Move on guys, it’s really the left who hates the 1st amendment anyways, right?

"We will shut down your bakery if you don't make these two oversize rainbow-haired metal-faced wives their wedding cake!!! FASCISTS!!!"

Also:
"Wait, you can't fire him for celebrating the death of an innocent man. That's not free speech."

Liberal hypocrisy still reigns.

@7:27 - the network had little choice. The head of the FCC threatened to pull the broadcasting license from ABC if they didn’t stop Kimmel from saying stuff Trump disagreed with. They need television to be a safe place for conservatives, can’t allow free thought to be expressed as it might lead people to believe Trump is an idiot.

What did he say that was wrong? Can you please quote the offending language?

Bold face lie Kingfish. Even FOX News reported it. https://www.foxnews.com/media/fcc-chair-levels-threat-against-abc-disney-after-kimmel-suggested-charlie-kirk-assassin-maga.amp

I never watched Kimmel and don’t talk about Charlie Kirk. I just don’t see the benefit. I just take care of my family and cordial to all.

If I'm still awake at 10:30 PM after waking up at 4:30 every morning, I watch Perry Mason on METV. A lot more relaxing.

the lengths conservatives have gone to justify this government bullying is laughable. you guys beat your chest about freedom and government overreach, but when the FCC chairman and the President of the United States start putting pressure on the people you don't like, you guys just ignore it or try to wiggle around it.

It's clear you don't mind government overreach so long as you're the ones in control of the government.

Clown shoes.

Somebody didn’t read their own article that they posted. Do better Kingfish

“ Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel during an interview with conservative political podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday and suggested the regulatory agency could take action against the broadcast licenses of ABC-owned stations. Owners of some ABC TV stations, including large broadcaster Nexstar Media Group told the network they were dropping the show.”

10:01 for the win.

I don’t remember the FCC or President Biden threatening to take action against Disney unless they fired Gina. Can you point to me where that happened.

He said that people who didn't take the experimental covid vaccine should be denied emergency room services. I mean he said other stuff too, but that one really sticks out. : )

I love it. 10:50 lies by saying that DL Garner lies.

The founding fathers just rolled in their graves. True conservatives aren’t celebrating this. It’s amazing how quickly the masks came off, no one on the MAGA side gives a damn about the constitution.

Remember what they did to Roseanne Barr?

I just wonder how many of these comments are from Russia, China, Iran, North Korea misinformation bots? The enemy is not in this country, but in the above-mentioned countries. Wake up America.

It's obvious like with everything else political, politicians are the ultimate hypocrites - bitch and whine about the other side's actions but do the same exact things when it's your turn to be in power. And the masses on both sides fall for it every time. Mass ignorance among the public.

Didn’t Lou Dobbs get fired from Fox for getting them sued for 2.7billion for his Smartmatec defamation? I know he was in on a lot of other conspiracies like the Obama birtherism. What legal trouble did Kimmel cause ABC other than threats from the Trump admin because they didn’t approve of his speech? I fail to see any similarities. You must be quite the mental gymnast Kingfish.

And just like that, Nexstar got their big merger approved by the FCC.

Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

Under your living document of a US Constitution, the First Amendment no longer means what you think it does. Freedom of Speech now protects the rights of a small number of people to make obscene media; there is no longer any guaranteed freedom of political speech.

No mental gymnastics needed. They were both spreading misinformation. The FCC did not cause his suspension. Nextstar did. Kimmel has the right to say what he wants and Nextstar has the right to decide which programming it carries. The company exercised that right.

For the record, I think Kimmel deserves a suspension, not a cancellation or termination. I'm not big on firing people who make the mistake of running off out the mouth.

@10:45 PM, Mr. K. Fish toes the line, and he keeps his commenters in line as well. He’s well aware who can be criticized and who can’t.

From Erik Erickson's newsletter this morning:

I don’t like the idea of the Chairman of the FCC using his clout to suggest stations might need to rethink airing Jimmy Kimmel. It is dangerous.

But what Brendan Carr actually said is that stations need to remember they can stop airing coverage that does not cater to their customers. Additionally, he said, “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the F.C.C. ahead.”

What really happened, however, was that Nexstar, a moderately right-leaning group of stations that controls 32 significant ABC affiliates, decided to stop airing Kimmel’s program.

Nexstar played a bigger role than Brendan Carr. Carr is just the bogeyman for the left to blame. Look at the markets.

Just as y'all tried to blame Trump for Colbert cancellation when in reality he was losing $40 to $50 million a year.

I'm pretty sure Disney would have fought any FCC action in Court and probably would have won.

I thought the left is against misogyny and blackface. Yet Kimmel still has a job after The Man Show with girls on trampolines and his Karl Malone skit. There was a whole sorority at Delta State put on probation for "black face" when the premise of the homecoming skit was famous Mississippi actresses. They chose to do all the different movies of Whoopi Goldberg and Bill LaForge & Company decided to send a message. The left's double standards are hilarious.

You forgot to mention Nexstar needing FCC approval for a major merger. This administration is the most crooked in American history and it’s not close. Remember cheering this on when the left is back in control and decides Fox News and Newsmax and Kingfish are all terrorist organizations.

@8:16 - I have no issue with Disney deciding to make this move, I have an issue with the head of the FCC threatening to pull the broadcasting licenses if they didn’t make this move. Big difference there that you and others on the right don’t seem to be able to acknowledge for some selfish reason.

How in the world do all the Trump/Kirk ball liquors think they’re gonna get into heaven worshiping false prophets and the antichrist? There’s an ultimate Wall in judgment you have to answer to when you leave this mortal coil

Biden would have awarded hin the Presidential Medal of Freedom-

The FCC doesn’t have the right to revoke broadcasting licenses for speech they don’t agree with: you keep glossing over that giant elephant in the room. Why? Do you see that as a 1st amendment violation?

Got a link to those “lies”? Does this mean Donald “Lying” Trump will be shot canned also? How about Pam “Lying” Bondi? how about Kash “Lying” Patel? How about JD “”Lying” Vance?

Tucker Carlson is even calling out MAGA for using Kirk’s death to take away the 1st amendment. What a weird timeline we are in.

You mean the Tucker Carlson who covorts with Putin and Holocaust deniers? Talks about how Churchill was the real villain of WW2?

@KF How do you say that with a straight face while witnessing the current state of the USA, EU, and UK, after the last 70+ years?

@9:49 - yep that’s the one, mainstream right winger Tucker Carlson.

JD Vance: “Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people … Under Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square.”

What happened? Trump signed an executive order along those lines as well. Will the FCC head be prosecuted for crimes against the constitution?

Fox, newsmax, Wall Street journal, thousands of newsletters and newspapers, millions of twitter and YouTube accounts, millions of books being banned. It’s quite the slippery slope.

That was an auto correct, should be “shit canned”

You love cancel culture and death of the 1st amendment?

They’ll definitely get their big merger approved now.

All it took was the FCC threatening the broadcasting licenses of ABC. That’s totally above board and in no way infringes on the 1st amendment.

Always remember, and never forget, if the left didn't have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

FOX News airs a guy who openly called for the death penalty for being homeless last week.

And Pam Bondi is free to arrest you for those comments if your wife is a MAGA.

To all liberal posters, Margaret, we don't care.

There is no winning in this current administration. You can bow to their wishes and get favorable treatment, but it’s still doing long term damage that won’t be soon forgotten. There will be boycotts. There simply are no winners under a Trump administration except for Trump and his family.

I thought the right was against censorship and believed in the first amendment? The rights double standards are hilarious.

No, how did the government threaten Roseanne Barr?

@10:19 - at least you’re honest you don’t care about the first amendment. Everything the left said about project 2025 was true, you were just too ashamed to admit your true feelings.

10:24: What Carr and Biondi said yesterday was wrong. However, if Carr took any action, it probably would not stand up in court. Disney would probably find a federal judge that gave it a TRO against Carr. Ok, it goes up to the Circuit. Chances are the Circuit would rule against admin. At Supreme Court, there would be three liberal votes against Carr. Roberts would join them. Gorusch and Kavanaugh would probably join them as well. It would be a 7-2 or 6-3 decision. Disney has top lawyers and know this.

Losing money, bad ratings, and then your affiliates say we are walking? Just remember, it's always about money.

That's right. Freedom to pull a show that was bleeding viewers and already behind. Kimmel was costing his network around $40 million a year, about the same as Colbert before he was canned.

Yall are witnessing the Revoltion happening now. There will never be another federal election in this country. The people who study this have already sold their homes and moved away. What does this place look like when one old guy makes all the rules? Will Americans tolerate a fascist state? We shall see.

I repeat myself, Margaret, we don't care.

Bondi is a long way from MAGA, most MAGA types railed against her nomination and the ones that didn't said "let's giver her a chance", not "she's great".

You are familiar with the saying, that if something requires a license, it is a privilege, and not a right. To broadcast on government owned frequencies requires a license, therefore it is a privilege, and not a right. So sit your ignorant ass down, and shut up, about the first amendment.

I keep seeing people talking about the First Amendment. Was Kimmel put in jail or expelled from citizenship for his words? Oh, he said some things that were divisive and his employer decided they no longer wanted him as a rep for their brand? Got it.

Biondi is sloppy.

People on here talking about the 1st Amendment as if it was relevant. This was a business risk taken by Kimmel. He went deeper in when he saw the late night run is coming to a close, so he took his swings to say what he wanted to say to his customers. He paid for the luxury to do that with the employment of his staff. It happens in business all the time. I don't jump into politically charged waters with clients for that very reason. I'd rather have their business than ensure they know what my politics are. My employees appreciate that.

Kimmel has the right to say what he wants ...

But not on his employer's dime and time.

@10:43 - no, the head of the FCC threatened to pull the broadcasting licenses from abc affiliates unless they took Kimmel off the air. It’s right there in the article that Kingfish posted that apparently neither he nor anyone else commenting managed to read.

Shoes on the other foot and the libbies are losing it. Been banned in many places for my comments and took it like a man. Jimmy exercised his free speech and in the process VIOLATED company terms. They HAD to fire him or suffer the wrath . He crossed the line and it's likely in his contract.

In America it’s not a business risk to speak and think / expect the govt will shut you down for your protected speech. You missed some very important writings which date back a long time.

So many things wrong in that comment. You need to find a better outlet for the anger.

Rolling Stone reports:

“ In the hours leading up to the decision to pull Kimmel, two sources familiar with the matter say, senior executives at ABC, its owner Disney, and affiliates convened emergency meetings to figure out how to minimize the damage. Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed.”

She is Trump’s dream AG. She DGAF about the constitution and will do whatever he tells her to.

6:46, protest the station for making a business decision. Let’s say you are a boss at a company, I tell you that I think you are a moron. You fire me for saying that to you. Should I yell free speech and not leave?

I thought the same thing during Covid

@10:52 - He said "could take action". The large cable company decided that in order to avoid such a scenario, they would get Kimmel off of their airwaves. And, as has been stated, this is a license granting a privilege to broadcast, not a constitutional right. Kimmel is not being imprisoned for saying whatever he wants. His medium for doing so, which has been controlled by the FCC already since 1934, was regulated. Kimmel is free to go to any street corner he wishes and espouse his cuckhold liberal "beliefs".

Exactly, so many people on here have no idea what the 1st amendment covers and what it doesn’t. It was a business decision, but hate blinds people from seeing the truth.

10:21, the same thing was said under Biden. Chuck Schumer said taking him off the air destroys democracy and it should go to court. That is why Democrats are losing, they have no idea what the hell they are talking about. They are just angry another mouthpiece for their party is being cancelled. America is getting better by the week.

@11:18 And Obama's was Holder... for the same exact reasons Bondi appeals to Trump. Including sexual attraction LMAO

9:46, stay mad, it does wonders for the soul to be angry all the time. Lol

I honestly don't see what's wrong with what he said. The only person of the main white house that I think holds actual grief for Charlie Kirk was JD Vance.

Ka$h Money says "See you in Valhalla" to a lifelong Christian. Trump talks about how his military led litter squad in DC is going when asked about how he's feeling. At the end of the day, all Kirk was to them was a way to pull in the youth vote, and nothing more. And now Trump will happily use his death to cancel his critics.

Soon they're bringing in the heads of Twitch, Valve, Discord, and Reddit to question them on radicalization in their spaces as if its not a problem for the whole social media sphere running algorithms that put posts and videos in front of you that will make you angry. As if Twitter being run by a billionaire eugenicist isn't one of the biggest cesspools on the internet now that you can make money to ragebait people. As if 4chan isn't a thing.

Republicans don't give a fuck about shootings. If they did we'd have seen gun regulations after columbine. Kimmel was right, its just a game of finger pointing now to gain political points while actual people are grieving. If Republicans gave a fuck about shootings they'd have regulated guns after Sandy Hook, or any of the 800 gun casualties in schools over the last 50 years. But that's not which way their bread is buttered. It's the internet. Its video games. Its the gays. Its the trans community. Its gang violence. That last one was Kirks last words on God's green earth. They will do anything to deny the idea that the ease of access to guns and the culture we have around guns isn't fucked.

Hell I had someone tell me I should shoot a shoplifter over 150 dollars worth of product the other day, as if that wasn't an absolutely psychopathic thing to say.

But no its about what the left is saying, it'll never be about the death cult gun culture we have in the US. Kirk himself said that every death we have in the country is a price we must pay for the Second Amendment. Every child who gets their parents gun and shoots themselves or their siblings? Justified. Every veteran who kills themselves. Justified. Every mass shooting making going to any major gathering something you have to think twice about. Justified.

That kind of rhetoric is seen as a okay, but sure Kimmel saying that politicians don't give a fuck about Kirk's death is beyond the pale.

Spare me the horseshit.

The ignorance is strong with the liberals. They continually brag of their education, and don't know the difference between a constitutionally protected right, and a privilege.

Why are you worried about it, heathen?

Wasn't it a business decision when social media (private) companies fact-checked posts on their platforms?

But not too long ago, MAGA world was screeching about that being censorship and violative of the 1st Amendment.

As for this: "if something requires a license, it is a privilege, and not a right"

That analysis applies to driver licenses and DUI laws. It does not apply across-the-board to every type of license. Many holders of various types of licenses actually have a 5th Amendment property right in those licenses.

It's the lies Kimmel, and the rest of your kind, tell that causes the most harm. Half of your post was probably a lie.

September 18, 2025 at 10:52 AM, you're showing your ignorance. A broadcaster, on government frequencies, can lose their privilege, not a right, to broadcast for many reasons. George Carlin had a great part of his act devoted to seven bad words.

@11:29 - they are mad that the fcc threatened their affiliate broadcasting licenses unless they pulled Kimmel. They seem to care about the 1st amendment still, although they seem to be the last ones judging by the comments here.

It is absolutely a business risk to speak. The Government didn't shut him down, the private company that owns the channels he needs to operate did. Was there political pressure to do that, perhaps, but that didn't/couldn't be forced by the government without due process. Why don't you get a contract to work for a governor of any political persuasion and use your company to lambast the policies of that government. See what happens. It's just dumb to think you're free from any risk for speech.

@11:31 - too bad no one else cares about losing our constitutional rights. There are some things worth fighting for and getting upset about, this administration is crossing lines that can’t be uncrossed. No matter how short sighted you may be, it most likely won’t always be a MAGA in charge. One day, you’ll be wishing you hadn’t given up those rights so willingly.

The star of Jimmy Kimmel Live. It’s been on ABC every week night since 2003 after the nightly news. Do you have a tv?

Maybe you just lost your sense of humor and ability to laugh at yourself? IMO, Conan is and always has been hilarious. Kimmel has his moments.

@11:16 - it seems spot on to me. Which part hurt your feelings?

Pot meet kettle

Kimmel tweeted back in 2021 mocking the fact that Twitter (at the time) had banned Trump from posting. Censoring him. Jimmy found that humorous and worth broadcasting. I'll leave that there. I'm sure I'll here "they're a private company" yada blah yada. Kimmel is not in government custody, is he?

Pretty soon you are going to wish you had your rights back!

Since most of you have trouble following what actually happened, Kimmel’s offense was to continually claim Kirk’s killer is a MAGA supporter. The killer’s family is conservative, and he was until a few years ago. Now he is a relationship with a guy that wants to be a woman, but can’t comprehend that is not possible.

Both parties have worked to suppress speech and online postings they don’t like. The Biden gang exerted great pressure on the social media companies to keep people from posting info that was counter to their agenda, especially the Covid propaganda.

The ones trashing Bondi are the ones who praised Garland-

11:33, that is not what Charlie actually said. That is a misleading and false paraphrase.

You can pass all the gun laws you want, CRIMINALS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW!! Name a gun law you can come up with that would preserve a constitutional right and prevent gun deaths in America. Since someone gets stabbed, should we ban all knives? If someone gets run over by a car, should all vehicles be banned?

He is a guy that was on The Man Show until he got his balls cut off.

9:40 AM, I was a member of the ACLU before they became a Left Wing Democrat Party Hack Anti Civil Liberties organization. So, as a civil libertarian wanted to be, I would “tend” to support your view re: the FCC.

But…this is EXACTLY WHAT DEMOCRATS WANTED. Social engineering via so-called hate speech, cancel culture, etc. So don’t expect any sympathy from those of us on the right when it gets sent right back at you, because you started this war.

Jimmy Kimmel is a shit stirring hatemonger liar intent on agitating to a point that this powder keg division we are dealing with blows. My bet is nothing would make that POS Kimmel happier than some retard Tim McVeigh type killing a bunch of innocent children, since he knows they won’t be his kids, and he and his shit eater Democrat partners can then flip the script.

F___ Jimmy Kimmel, Hopefully that hatemonger POS reaps was he has sown.

6:46, he spoke freely, the people above him might have not liked it. Kimmel put himself in this position.

6:46, he spoke freely, the people above him might have not liked it. Kimmel put himself in this position.

8:33, the be fair, Biden didn’t know where he was half the time. So, bad comparison

Yea, the most important thing is for the geriatric Democrat Party to stay in power. Good job!

Boomer here, but a moderately educated one insofar as modern communications. When commentators, of any political bent, are cancelled or otherwise tossed off platforms "the government" does or can control, many going to wind up on platforms it cannot. Particularly the ones who are in it for personal gain. It'll get more interesting and dangerous on many levels. I don't think any of the would-be "revolutionaries" - on either side - will be able to handle a "revolution." Not the least of the reasons being it is difficult to have a "revolution" when both sides are...revolting.

Give us an example of a license that's not a privilege?

September 18, 2025 at 9:43 AM, what you posted may be the most ignorant thing I have ever read, and that's saying something. There are certain words that are absolutely prohibited from being broadcast over the government frequencies.

This isn't about free speech. Only the low IQ would believe that. This forum is full of them apparently, all mouth breathers. It has nothing to do with what he said. He intentionally mislead his viewers by saying it was someone from the right that shot Charlie Kirk. He knew it was a lie. Not to mention the network was losing millions of dollars because of him. The right hasn't burned any cities, killed police or anyone from the left. The left doesn't as much security as the right. What does that tell you? Since most on here won't understand what that means, I'll explain. That means all the violence is mainly coming from the left. Do better. Don't be surprised when the white man gets enough and flips the table...

1:58 is a post from a completely healthy person

The left is big mad that Kimmel got fired for saying divisive things.
But they are fine with Kirk being murdered for saying things they did not like.
We are living in upside down world.

2:42: You misconstrued what I said. I wrote:

"Many holders of various types of licenses actually have a 5th Amendment property right in those licenses."

But by all means, rely on that legal education you got when you had your license revoked for a DUI.

3:16 wrote: "all the violence is mainly coming from the left."

Is it a mere coincidence that people are repeating that lie ad nauseam, at the same time the Trump DOJ removed a definitive study of far-right domestic terrorism, immediately after Charlie Kirk's murder?

"Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”

anyone that thinks kimmel getting fired has anything to do with the 1st amendment is just a plain dumb ass. the 1st amendment does not give a person the right to be an asshole, not does it give them the right to say anything they want to say. it does, however, give them the right to speak in an intelligent, truthful manner epressing their view in an upright moral manner and tone.

"...the 1st amendment does not give a person the right to be an asshole, not does it give them the right to say anything they want to say. it does, however, give them the right to..."

No, the 1st Amendment, like the other 9 that make of the "Bill of Rights" do not give anyone "the right" to do...anything. What they ACTUALLY do is restrict, initially the federal government and now state and sub-part governments, from passing certain laws, infringing on certain rights either directly or by passing laws that have such effect, etc. And "infringe" does not mean "anything that does or might interfere at all." IOW, the government can enact laws that put limits on rights.

As an example, if ABC suspended or fired Jimmy Kimmel because he said, "Welcome to the show" or "Heil Hitler!," it would nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. However, if the government, via the FCC or any other agency, told ABC that if it did not suspend or fire him for saying something that the government itself was Constitutionally barred from taking action against him for saying, the government would take away ABC's license, or prevent a merger, or put the CEO over its knee and spank them, it becomes (at least) a 1st Amendment situation.

It'll be interesting to see what Kimmel decides to do.

@5:21PM "Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides.”

Yea that’s right 5:21, that’s why the flight is always OUT OF DEMOCRAT controlled cities like Jackson.
That’s why the Republican controlled burbs prosper with only a fraction of the violent crimes that cities like Jackson have including homicides.
That’s why so many Hypocrite POS Democrats live behind gates, or worse, in the Republican suburbs and send their precious babies to elite private schools.
Because, according to The Guardian, it’s safer to live with Democrats.

If you’re dumb enough to read The Guardian, then you’re dumb enough to think there’s more risk to your life living around Republicans than living around Democrats. So put your money where your ignorant mouth is, and stay out of our Republicans suburbs. Thank you!!!

OK,Mississippi mentalgenius: The Jimmy Kimmel show is a production. They have 24 writers who write every word for Jimmy Kimmel. Than JK reads it off a teleprompter. So the whole production is aqt fault.
No one who works a hard day wants to listen to puke.

Hahahaha, you're funny, dude. I don't have a DUI, have never had a DUI. I don't use alcohol, or any other substance that would affect my sobriety.

So, you're telling me you used a subject that you can't give an example of? Well, of course you did, you're a fake, there's nothing real about any of you people. Don't worry about it Homer, mom will have them hot pockets ready shortly, and will call you upstairs to eat.

6:52: and what about that pesky study discussed in The Guardian article? The one conducted by the Department of Justice about domestic terrorism:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250911012550/https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/what-nij-research-tells-us-about-domestic-terrorism

It’s pretty telling how so many people preach intelligent, respectful discourse, when it served their arguments, then almost immediately revert to combative name-calling and profanity when challenged.

11:33 AM, after this assassination by a 22 year old with no criminal record and a deer rifle, anybody that says we need common sense gun laws, has no common sense.

Unless you want to go full Mexico style gun control (and WE THAT CAN SEE, see how that’s working out, don’t we?) there’s no gun control to talk about here.

7:20, It isn't an either/or proposition. Pharmacists, doctors, lawyers, and every other professional license holder in Mississippi have a property interest in that license, protected by the 5th Amendment.

But those licenses are also a privilege, issued only to those meeting certain criteria.

It's a nuanced concept. I figured I was wasting my time with you even getting into it. But since you accused me of eating Hot Pockets . . .

Did you eat lead paint as a kid?

There’s even a more direct comparison from just this week. Pam Bondi is threatening to prosecute an Office Depot employee who refused to print Charlie Kirk signs. You just can’t make this kind of hypocrisy up, not even Hollywood could write this level of absurdity.

@11:31 - let me guess, you think you’re funny but not Jimmy Kimmel?

He violated the FCC’s terms, that’s why they threatened to pull the broadcasting licenses. You may ask what terms does the FCC have? You see any speech at the expense of Donald Trump or the right wing is now considered hate speech. Yes that’s highly illegal and a crime against the constitution, but the constitution no longer matters now that Trump is in charge.

7:36 PM, you mean the study done by the BIDEN Department of Justice on Jan 4, 2024? Okay, let’s go with it. Let’s assume the “study” is 100% accurate.
Where do you live 7:36?
And where did, do, or will your kids go to school?

Democrats do not live in reality and do not want the truth. Democrats want some “government study” crock of horse s__t provided by Democrat “leaders” to run up their flag pole by leftist propaganda rags like the Guardian for gullible sheep to go out and repeat in order to take the spotlight off of Democrat colossal failures.

So 7:36, if you Democrats want to die on that hill of claims that the real risk to you and your children’s safety IS REALLY from “far-right extremists,” then PLEASE, PUT YOUR MONEY AND YOUR AND YOUR CHILDRENS LIVES WHERE YOUR MOUTH (backed up by The Guardian’s referenced government studies) IS, and live in one of your Democrats controlled killing field cities like Jackson (a murder capital where 2 children were killed inside of ten days by stray bullets), not behind gates, and send your babies to one of those phenomenal Democrat controlled public schools.

And 7:36, if by some miracle you happen to be one of the few non-hypocritical Democrats that are already do this, I sincerely admire you, because, while we totally disagree about the real risks to our safety, you at least have integrity.

It’s Rolling Stone so credibility is suspect at best. Besides, if Kimmel gets his own podcast, he can say anything he wants without anyone knowing.

180 comments. Wow. You libs really got your panties in a wad over this one didn't you? Seethe. Nobody cares. Where were you when the Biden admin was censoring Meta and Twitter over covid truths seeing the light of day? Where were you when conservatives were being banned from posting on Twitter and having their tweets flagged for "misinformation" around Jan 6 or covid? Save me your outrage.

Yet, those professionals have no right, given by God, and enumerated in the constitution, to bolster their right to practice their craft. This leaves them with a privilege, and not a right. It's really simple, no license, no privilege to practice. Why did you choose this hill to die on?

10:32, The entire premise of our exchange was your argument that all licenses, being a "privilege and not a right," could be revoked at the will and pleasure of the issuing agency. That is incorrect. You asked for an example, and here it is:

"The holder of a license issued by the government that entitles the holder to perform specific kinds of work to earn a living has a protected property interest in the license and must be afforded due process before being deprived of the license."

Miss. State Bd. of Contrs. v. Hobbs Constr., LLC, 291 So.3d 762, ¶17 (Miss. 2020).

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) admonished FCC Chair Brendan Carr for demanding ABC suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show — calling Carr’s actions “dangerous as hell” and “right out of ‘Goodfellas,’” Politico reports.

Said Cruz: “If the government gets in the business of saying, ‘We don’t like what you, the media, have said; we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like’ — that will end up bad for conservatives.”

He added: “They will silence us. They will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly.”

Democrats started this cancel culture, censorship war then when conservatives play by their rules, Democrats cry like the hypocritical integrity less heathens that they are.

Democrats impeached Trump twice and weaponized the “corrupt injustice system” against him as well; so, it’s time for conservatives to play by the Democrats rules in these games also.

You ain't all that smart, are you. None of those professionals were born with the right to practice their craft, none. They were first granted the privilege to practice their craft by a state regulatory agency. In other words, they had to become qualified, and then granted permission to practice their craft. If you can't see this you're ignorant, or you can't accept the fact, you're wrong.

2:10, That's almost exactly what I said last night at 7:57. I guess I was right about wasting my time with you.

I have zero tolerance for liberals. I have democrats fatigue. You can all go back to Somalia, Mexico, wherever. And all of you godless commies can go to Cuba or North Korea.
It is time to make America a White Christian country again.

The Biden Administration publicly threatened to bring antitrust actions against social media companies if they didn’t cooperate in suppressing speech about COVID. Where were all the complainers today about First Amendment rights being lost back then? Silent. They apparently don’t object to Democrats suppressing speech.
Kimmel was suspended because he was spreading false information, refusing to apologize for spreading false information, and because he was losing the network money, and it was going to get worse because of companies owning ABC affiliates preempting the show. The comments by Carr would have best been unsaid, and the same outcome would have happened. Disney had the excuse it needed to stop the financial bleeding from the show without saying so. Carr, however, gave the Democrats fodder for talking points that they wouldn’t have had, but the result would have been the same. Kimmel was a goner, sooner or later. He was losing too much money for the company. He ceased to be a comedian as he saw his main job as a Democrat shill and fundraiser. Now a “victim” of MAGA, his victimhood will be his mantle for trying to raise more money for Democrats. And they need the money, since it has largely dried up.

Barbie got canned for saying granmammy and nizzle... where was the backlash on free speech? Oh it's different because Barbies comments were racially motivated....
Bahahahaha

Feldstein's First Law of Economics.....No matter what they say they are talking about, what they are really talking about is MONEY!

7:57: I can sign on to that post. Carr should have kept his mouth shut and Cruz was right for calling him out on it yesterday. National Review is arguing the FCC should be abolished.

Kimmel would have been canned anyway. The suits wanted him to apologize and he refused to do so. In fact, he was going to double down on his comments, which were false accusations. Keep in mind Kimmel is losing nearly $20 million a year. His salary alone was $16 million. His audience shrank to half of what it once was. That show was getting canned as late night talk shows are facing an existential crisis. Bring back the CBS late night movie.

And the mask finally comes off at 7:37 a.m.

In other news, things are so far off the rails that Ted Cruz is the voice of reason, and during a government shut-down funding crisis, no less.

Disney is down almost $4billion since the cancellation. Seems to qualify for your idiot of the day qualification? BTW, did you read the Rolling Stone article about the deliberations among the executives? They didn’t think he said anything that crossed the line. Where are you seeing the opposite to what’s been reported?

Those Nielsen ratings don’t mean much these days. How many millions of views did Kimmel clips get on YouTube, TikTok, and other social media? Nielsen Ratings don’t account for that. Take a look at the Nielsen ratings for every single time slot across the same time frame and you see similar drops.

Rolling Stone is not a credible news source. Period. It has been busted more than once.

KF, Rolling Stone got busted for the fake story about the Virginia campus rape in 2014.

What other fake news did RS get busted for? (This is a genuine request, not a challenge)

Update - MAGA tears flooded the streets as Disney announces Jimmy is Back!

Sure it’s not. Your comment is also fake news as you’ve been busted more than once I suppose.
