And just to think, I would never have heard this joke if the FCC hadn't called attention to it.

The White House is holding everyone else to a much higher speech standard than themselves.

I was never much into talk shows but I've been watching Kimmel religiously because he's just so on-point. Perfect example right here.
I nearly spit my drink out at the "expectant widow" quip, stellar

Quickly? Wasn't the joke already 2 broadcast days old before the latest attempt on the orange king? Wasn't the original context of the joke about the orange king's obvious old age?

But remember guys, it is 100% "conservatives" posting lies and having Facebook post links to correct information that had their first amendment rights violated.

I wasn't really a fan until they cowardly took him off the air and he came back with one of the best monologues about the importance of free speech in our modern times. I consider it must watch personally.

Looks like it has 23 million views, and that's a good start.

Trump laughs when Paul Pelosi is hit with a hammer, when two MN legislators are shot at their homes. Suggests a "2nd Amendment solution" to Hillary Clinton.
Throws a fit when some comedian uses dark humor to joke about how Trump doesn't have long in this world without hinting at why, because the audience can fill in the blanks themselves.
Bullies have the thinnest skin.

Disney, please file the law suit asap against Brendan and the FCC, it is inevitable that Disney will win. It will result in even more comedy than a typical Kimmel show

I think Disney/Kimmel have been laughing all the way to the bank each time trump calls Kimmel out on anything. I never watch the show, but make it a point to look for clips when I hear trump crying about anything. Funny that he has melanie now doing the whining for him so he doesn't look like the only turd.

Disney has the rare opportunity to get in front of this, show some spine, and reap the rewards that someone is standing up to this fascist regime finally.
I suspect they won’t because…$$$.

Don't forget nominating Markwayne Mullin who said he “understands” why Rand Paul’s neighbor attacked him, leaving him with several broken ribs. And then there's Hegseth, 'nuff said.
Everyone in the orange idiot's orbit are just terrible people, many violently so.

![trump-posts-video-of-truck-with-a-bound-joe-biden-graphic[1].jpg](https://meincmagazine.com/civis/attachments/trump-posts-video-of-truck-with-a-bound-joe-biden-graphic-1-jpg.133978/ "trump-posts-video-of-truck-with-a-bound-joe-biden-graphic[1].jpg")

We should loudly be saying that we will apply the same standards to every channel and social network that talked ish about Biden. (aka, all of them)
With no current flowing the other way, we're expecting too much for corporate America and courts to do all the work of resisting the maga impulse to extreme fascism. They will respond a lot better if they realize the other side doesn't have its arms straight-jacketed to its sides...

To be quite fair, they call other countries shit holes because of their RGB values, not because of the dictatorship stuff. They love the dictatorship stuff.

The White House Press Secretary said “shots would be fired” before the White House Correspondents Dinner. Why hasn’t she been charged with anything? She clearly provoked or is in a conspiracy with the shooter.

Republicans and their cancel culture!
When Melanie posted on X that “people like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate”… You can imagine the backlash.

Except the original had a better sense of fashion. These groupies are wearing oversized clown shoes because they're told to and are afraid to say no.
