“You almost have to feel sorry for him. He tried his best to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly!

He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

"An hour before Kimmel’s show returned to air Tuesday, Trump complained, “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!” The president vowed to go after the network for being too favorable to his political opponents."

"It shows that Trump and MAGA have hidden political weaknesses in this battle that those taking on Trump should keep in mind: These authoritarian assaults on the First Amendment are triggering a major cultural backlash, and it appears substantially stronger than the impulse that spurred the assaults in the first place."

Never forget: Despots can only be as strong as the people allow them to be.

That's the principle the American Republic was built on by those, who fought for it, to keep the Rule of the People (democracy) forever.

Donald Trump Immediately Returns To Threatening #Disney Over Jimmy Kimmel’s Speech
techdirt.com/2025/09/24/donald…

"...anyone who believes Donald Trump’s claims of supporting #FreeSpeech is either a brainwashed cultist or the dumbest person alive. And now, in his doddering old age, he’s becoming ever more brazen and belligerent in his attacks on speech. He’s not even trying to put forth a veneer of legitimacy anymore."

"he’s admitting that the #WhiteHouse talked to #Disney about Kimmel’s show...

the claim that #Trump is going to sue over something wholly unrelated to what Carr was threatening an investigation over shows that this has nothing to do with any particular comment... It is, clearly, our most thin-skinned, can’t-take-a-joke, whiny, insecure, pathetic excuse of a President demanding that the guy making fun of him be silenced."

As for the $16 million payout for the “last time I went after them” that should reveal what bullshit all this is...

when you appease bullies, they don’t go away. You just are asking for more bullying and more demands...

If Disney’s #BobIger had any principles or any backbone at all, he’d do exactly what #JohnOliver told him to do earlier this week. Go back to the White House with “Fuck you, make me.”

"Trying to appease those who consider you inherently "less than" themselves is a losing strategy.

Authoritarians will see your efforts at appeasement as further proof of their superiority and your inferiority.

Appeasing an authoritarian will inevitably lead to even more demands. Each time you give in, you not only strengthen the authoritarian, you weaken yourself."

"Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” averaged 6.2 million viewers... nearly 4 times bigger than his usual audience, even though more than 20% of #ABC affiliates boycotted the show.

To score 6.2 million viewers on a late-night show... is highly unusual. To do it without a few dozen local affiliates airing the show is even more eye-opening...

#YouTube video of his monologue has already drawn more than 15 million views."

"“A #government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn’t like is anti-American,” he [ #Kimmel ] said...

On Tuesday’s show, Mr. Kimmel played a clip of #Trump aboard Air Force One gloating about Mr. Kimmel being taken off the air. “He had no ratings,” the president said.

“Well,” Mr. Kimmel said after the clip, “I do tonight.”

LibDems may have faults but lack of policies isn’t one of them. Getting them across is difficult when the national media ignore you and promote REFORM UK.

@markwyner
Age and sickness affects us all, mostly negatively. I think we should have term and age limits in Congress, Senate and the Presidency. Why we allowed Dianne Feinstein to pass our laws when her personal affairs were managed under power of attorney by her daughter as she was deemed incapable of doing so? I think there are valid issues related to age that need to be addressed. Biden’s was a case in point. It is sensitive to discuss this I agree but... Thanks.
in reply to charlesmagne1

@charlesmagne1

Age and sickness affects everyone differently. In the cases where it directly impacts a politician’s ability to function, their age becomes a relevant point to make.

Case in point, you mention Feinstein. If what you say is true, her age becomes relevant. But she was also unethical. We can attack her for that. And for berating little climate activists who came to see her.

Thank you for the civil discourse.

At 50 000 signatures, it is automatically submitted to the parliament and undergoes the standard legislative process, including potential debates, review, and vote.

in reply to Laffy

in Australia we saw multiple spokespeople giving multiple assurances that paracetamol was one of the safest drugs around, etc etc. Each time it was a few minutes, with concerned questions from interviewers.

Why, in Australia of all places, could these people not have simply said "It's bullshit. Paracetamol is safe. Neither the US president not his health minister has the slightest clue what they are talking about. No questions - I will not waste any more time on this non-story."

The long earnest answers worked to give the ludicrous assertion a validity it did not deserve.

in reply to Laffy

Just another stupid thing proving to the world that the Trump Administration is full of morons and grifters.

This must be driving the (remaining) smart people at the FDA insane.
