Well done, America, you (re-)elected a frikken' psychopath.

Interesting listen

Surely there must be some legal avenue ABC could follow to prevent their licence being cancelled? This is nothing more than ridiculous bully-boy tactics by an attention-seeking narcissist who cannot handle a word of criticism. Is there no legal pathway they can follow to stop this from happening?

I know the orange buffoon says he had nothing to do with Kimmel's show being cancelled, but come on, we all know by now he's the biggest liar in the world, and to take anything he says with a grain of salt (or, a sack).

Again I ask, how is all this pointless, unnecessary crap helping American citizens struggling to keep up with the cost of living? 🤔

Ah right - I remember that was mentioned as the threat (initially), but taking your comment above into account they probably don't want to do anything to hurt the orange buffoon's fragile masculinity, and blah blah blah 🙄

Depressing to see how much the Republican party has, uh, "evolved" (one might say "regressed") in the last 25 years 🙄

These also caught my eye:

Fireworks? At a memorial? 😮

The NY Times - Jimmy Kimmel’s Show to Return to ABC on Tuesday Night

breaking

The network’s removal of Mr. Kimmel’s show last week almost immediately morphed into a flashpoint for free speech in America.

ABC said on Monday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” would return to its airwaves on Tuesday, ending an impasse that began last week. ...

 

It is still unclear whether Nexstar and Sinclair - two major television operators that own many ABC affiliates and have vowed to pre-empt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in the aftermath of his comments - will air future episodes of the show.

 

While it's good Kimmel is back, I wonder if he'll be changing the topics he talks about now at the request of the orange buffoon 🙄

Also, Whoopi Goldberg on The View weighed in on the whole Kimmel saga: https://people.com/the-view-finally-addresses-jimmy-kimmel-controversy-amid-fcc-threats-11814508

Essentially she tells Trump and co to get stuffed, and they won't be silenced.

I suppose he has to consider a couple of things. One: he knows ABC can and will fire him under pressure from Trump. Two: he speaks truth to power. Three: it's not just his job on the line, but also probably dozens if not hundreds of other people who work to put him the chair and will also likely be out of work if the show is cancelled again.

If it was me, three would probably be the most potent weapon wielded against me. It's one thing to be willing to put your own job on the line to do the right thing, but all those others as well...?

If he wants to be seen as "Selling out", then his show will be DOA anyway.

LOTS AND LOTS of people have cancelled subscriptions, holidays, etc etc etc, they will NOT be forgiving if he sells out.

kingdragonfly: FCC Chairman says his “Easy Way Or The Hard Way” comment about Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if ABC didn’t fire him

yeah right, and Trump has never been convicted of anything...
