When he was killed last week, I tried to be peaceful and tried to unite us. But that was last week.
Today, I am mad as hell, and I am not going to take this anymore.” I say this while listening to Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
ABC has announced “Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be preempted indefinitely.”
The decision came after Nexstar, who reportedly leans to the right, dropped the late night talk show from the 32 ABC affiliates it owns. “Nexstar’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show,” said the company. “Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”
The things that Kimmel said during in September 15th monologue were not that bad. I don’t know why it got everyone’s panties in a bunch.
Can someone tell me why it is OK for the Religious Right to break the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me,” and treat him as a Gd? And why is it OK for the Trump administration to ignore the First Amendment, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances?”
This is utter bullshit! As the Hulk said, “Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!” I am angry!
Since the right is OK with boycotting things they don’t like, I say we boycott The CW, which is not hard to do because who still watches it?
To read right wing Sinclair’s statement about the future of Kimmel’s show, then
If people don’t like what Jimmy Kimmel says, they don’t have to listen to his show. The First Amendment gives him the right to speak his mind! I happen to enjoy his program and am very disappointed you pulled it off the air. From this moment on, I will limit my TV viewing to other networks until Jimmy Kimmel is back on late night where he belongs. Pulling his show was WRONG!

Kimmel has been getting under trump’s thin skin for years … we all know who’s behind ABC’s cowardly decision. It just proves that what Kimmel said is true … trump and his regime are using a tragedy to score political points … it’s a new low for the tyrant and his maga cult.
Let’s say good-bye to the rights & freedoms that many Americans apparently take for granted.
No wonder the rest of the world views the U.S. with pity and amusement.
