Good. I don’t align myself with lot of Kirk’s political ideology but being callous or insensitive to a persons death, not considering he has toddlers, a wife… is uncalled for. Disagree with people on principle or put forth your views without crossing the line, and show empathy with the people you disagree with I’d freaking dead.

Trump is a petty, juvenile, vindictive a$$hole. And all major corporations are capitulating to him. Disney did months ago over the Stephanoplous issue, so this is not surprising one bit.

This is what Kimmel said that got him suspended.

Edited to add the video rather than the quote.

We are in 1933 Germany all over again. Trump is the most dangerous and evil shadow on the world.

FCC, Federal Communications Commision, whose chair is appointed by the president, has the power to yank media licenses. They also have the power to accept or deny large media corporate mergers. So when Trump says he’s not happy with Kimmel it means something in today’s fascist United States.

he’s after everyone

Anyone who is able to vote needs to vote in the mid-terms. This is our last chance to save America imho. This is genuinely very scary. I’ve even told my parents to erase everything on their phones especially when they travel to not get harassed, despite being citizens.

I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on a lot of issues but making light of death of a person celeebrating his death gloating over his death are totally uncalled for.

Jimmy Kimmel has crossed the line with his monologue.He had a platform to air hisvews in a dignified manner and he squandered the opportunity.

In a world where people like Charlie Kirk justified death, questioned black women's intelligence, said that he would think twice about a pilots competence if they were black, said that a 10year old should deliver a child if she were to be raped, and was justifying the genocide going on in Gaza. These are not political ideologies. He was racist and hateful and hid behind the guise of being a believing Christian man. He was justifying guns in his last moments when school shootings are so rampant in the states.

His wife's post with him in the casket and her threatening emotionless speech were nothing to empathize with either. Almost came across as performative.

I'm not celebrating his death but people cannot expect others to mourn or respect a man who was as disrespectful as him.
