Does Disney actually care that the broadcast affiliates are keen to hasten the demise of their businesses? Probably not. Making their apps the only place you can find the network programming and they get to keep all the ad/subscriber money for themselves not likely to hurt Disney.

Kimmel should make a contribution in Kirk’s name - to the ACLU. Since Kirk was such a big free speech advocate (according to all the fucking talking heads) The ACLU defends free speech. No Maga nutjobs should have any problem with that. Right?

He should make a contribution in the name of the police officer shot at CDC HQ last month in Atlanta. Not in the name of Kirk. MAGA nutjobs love police, right?

And this is why it is unacceptable to allow shows like Kimmel et. al, to remain on the air spewing one sided political hatred. If they want to stay on air they must be governed by rules of acceptable use in that they do not say things that could lead to someone being hurt or worse. Perhaps they submit what they plan to say to a 3rd party 24 hours in advance who then tones down their rhetoric.

Should The Five be taken off the air for this call to violence?

If there were no Left there would be no Right. Just a heavenly world of busy body Karens each with their own version of Righteousness given to them by God itself!

Rather than blame Felix

maybe we could ask some of the 6 million Americans (net) who voted Democrat in 2020 but didn't in 2024 why they voted as they did, or why they didn't vote at all.

What were the issues going on in their heads? They are the ones who handed Trump the election.. not Felix.

This whole fucking thread wouldn't even exist if those people had some common sense..

I mean Felix watching Lorenzo Lamas isn't even on our list of problems to solve.. if he floats Felix's boat.. so be it!

The Texas Rangers team color cap is red. All I know is I would hate to be shot in the neck with a trans bullet because some weirdo was all hopped up after watching Jimmy Kimmel and thought it was a MAGA hat.

Dying for a mediocre team like the Rangers is just plain silly. 😞

Um, Jimmy tells jokes, I've never heard of anyone turning into a monster because they heard someone say some funny shit. If anything a MAGA snowflake would feel the urge to shoot Jimmy because he says mean things about the greatest president this country has ever had.

Nobody's driven to violence by monologues from late-night comedy shows and the hosts don't get people hopped up. That would be Tucker Carlson & the folks on Fox News who are suggesting killing homeless people simply because they're hopeless. And Charlie Kirk's own hateful words are probably the reason he was shot. It definitely wasn't because Colbert or Kimmel made fun of him.

FDC almost connected the dots with his healthcare epiphany, but alas, the tribalism was just too strong

And ideally we’d be more tolerant of the intolerant if they weren’t a bunch of fascists
