He was betrayed by those he was close to. Persecuted for his beliefs. Publicly crucified to serve as a cautionary tale to his followers. Then, by divine grace, he was resurrected. The people rejoiced. Needless to say, I’m referring to Jimmy Kimmel.

For most of my life growing up, any ailment you could mention and my beloved great-grandmother would just throw Tylenol at you. And we took it. All of us. All the time. And while we're all bat-shit insane, none of us are autistic.

Here's my take. Disney itself only owns 6 ABC stations. Despite how bend-the-knee it all looked to us, I think Bob Iger was just buying himself some time to deal with the rebellion coming from the right-wing fanatics at Nexstar and Sinclair who own far more ABC stations than Disney. It seems he did.

I'm not surprised Disney backtracked. I don't want to say caved because I don't think Bob Iger ever intended to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air permanently. But Disney itself only owns six ABC stations and I think Iger needed to buy himself some time to deal with the fascists at Nextar and Sinclair.

Jimmy Kimmel is going back on the air tomorrow.

Oh, these poor people have to deal with Lewandowski too?

This is NOT leadership. Kristi Noem erupted in profanity at DHS staff, with Corey Lewandowski backing her tirade. Officials described chaos, favoritism, and intimidation, as the rumored couple accused subordinates of corruption while running the agency like a clique.

She lying, of course.

👍

They have no idea how weird they are.

Meiselas: Trump and the MAGA Republicans want a shutdown. That’s why Johnson is literally sending Republicans into hiding—just like they did over the summer to hide the Epstein files.

What, exactly, is this Tylenol nonsense supposed to be drawing our gaze away from or this just one of those rabbit holes?

Everything is always a grift with these people.

They’re so fucking weird and they take themselves way too seriously.

Damn right. We deserve to see the tapes of Tom Homan taking a bribe. open.substack.com/pub/migranti...

"Thou shall have no other gods before me"

Erika Kirk did make some attempt at a message of unity. And then Trump took the stage.

Free Speech MAGAts are attacking free speech. And it shouldn't surprise you at all.

Tom Homan took a bribe before he was appointed. I'm sure he's not the only one.

Ilhan Omar is a better AMERICAN than almost any Republican alive today. Full stop.

I honestly thought Homan was too stupid to be bribed. Nothing is what it seems.

Ilhan Omar is better American than most of us that were born here.

You might hate me for saying this but I think Ilhan Omar is a better American than almost any Republican alive today.

I know this is gonna drive some folks bananas but Representative Ilhan Omar understands the United States Constitution better than almost any Republican alive today.

My God? MAGA's tough guy is such a fucking pussy.

The MAGA Republicans are anti-American. Full stop.

"Homan indicated he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office... "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Democracy is NOT waiting for the asshole to die but that's where we are.

I can’t believe we elected a fucking child who can’t handle being disliked. I feel I’m back in grade school.

It's pretty wild that the United States government is more-or-less demanding national mourning for an activist that many of us opposed vehemently, if we even knew who he was. It might be the most un-American thing I've ever witnessed in my life.

I’m glad people are starting to seriously use the term “regime.” It feels more appropriate.

The country is completely off the rails. Roughly half of the United States population has lost their damn minds.

Censorship is here and it’s come in the form of corporations censoring themselves in order to win favor with the regime.

I just saw a few clips of the speech at that fancy dinner… the attempts by the royals to keep straight faces were truly commendable. I really thought Camilla was going to lose it, but she kept it together.

My God, he's such a fucking moron.

Mace: Mayor Bowser, what is a woman? Bowser: I’m a woman. Are you a woman?

Artists from abroad are worried that the current climate is making American tours not worth the time and effort.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

#Democrats @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social I agree as well that they are overreaching and we should be incredibly revolted and concerned about this regardless of which party we’re in, this is a incredibly dangerous trajectory and feels like 1930s-1940 again because I don’t care about their views.

My grandmother was a devoted, observant Catholic her whole life. She was politically a moderate conservative most of her life. As much as I miss her, I’m glad she managed to avoid this disaster. Long appalled by his antics in NY, she despised Trump with her whole being and loved Jimmy Kimmel dearly.

So much free speech.

The fracturing of the republic has begun. And I for one welcome it.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Donald Trump isn’t an authoritarian. He’s a mobster or, more accurately, he is emulating the mobsters he interacted with in New York. He is using the power of the federal government to extort, pressure and coerce institutions and individuals to do what he wants. It’s governance by threat.

Boycot all mainstream media. They’re complicit in fascism and they’re lying to you.

Sinclair’s demand that Jimmy Kimmel pay Kirk’s family and issue an apology is pure extortion disguised as decency. A broadcaster forcing tribute payments to a far-right activist under government pressure is a weaponized, for-profit, and political entity.

They’re overreaching in a way that strongly suggests they don’t expect to ever lose power. In fact, they’re kinda saying it out loud.
