    Honestly it doesn’t matter if ABC returns Kimmel and his show to air. The exercise (fascist politicians exerting their influence through the oligarchy to punish critical speech) has served its purpose (to be a chilling effect on anyone with the mind to speak truth to power).

    It’s a stern tug on the leash.

    This is why independent media is so important, and we need a lot more of it.

      This is why the show coming back isn’t enough; the execs who made the decision to comply with fascists need to themselves be ousted, at the bare minimum.

      I think its the opposite from your take. The fascists got knocked down and now look weak. Other organizations that try to capitulate now see there’s backlash that happens and should be more emboldened to reject the fascist demands.

    Less than a week after it was taken off the air under pressure from the Trump administration, Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to late night on Tuesday, ABC parent company Disney confirmed.

    Trump is going to have a heart attack.

        Don’t worry; even if he does, his deal with the devil will ensure he survives. I’m convinced it’s the only reason the hamberders haven’t done their job.

          Ignorance is bliss…

          An intelligent person can see when shit is going to be bad, a moron will just keep insisting everything is fine, especially if their whole lives someone has bailed them out of everything.

          A moral person feel shame, and is stressed about the harm he causes others. Somone without empathy literally never thinks how anyone else feels.

          It’s not that trump is healthy or made a deal with the devil.

          It’s just for stupid self centered people, they don’t care about anything except themselves.

          After making such a big deal about Kimmel going away. And he immediately comes back…

          If Kimmel goes hard on trump, especially insulting his masculinity for hiding behind the FCC and attacking free speech cuz he can’t take a fucking joke…

          He might legit have a heart attack, and that will be effective at chipping away his support.

      Careful, even suggesting how poor that orange turds health is could be seen as a threat according to the SS.

    He could do the funniest thing and just start with a speech doubling down on everything he said plus take the whole situation and compare it to fascist/dictatorial leadership
