So they’ve now gotten rid of Colbert and Kimmel, 2 of the most brutally honest guys going after trump. Interesting.
Video of monologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk
Sooo… I’m guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn’t watch it? Because I can’t put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.
I’m confident they were just looking for a reason after Colbert. Seth Meyers better use his last few weeks before he gets pinched to come up with a contingency plan, cus this is a fucking crackdown.
My guess is that the right wing propaganda machine to hide the epstein connections, doesn’t want it shown that trump takes kirk lightly and doesn’t give a shit about his death. It’s hard to keep it going if dear leader doesn’t even care.
But the trucks…
Both Taco and his cult are whiny little bitches.
his mocking of Trump’s grieving of that dude’s death was low and distasteful regardless, to say the least.
Edit (and keep downvoting me if you want):
Trump is a narcissistic psycopath who is incapbable of symapthy that’s why he is expressing his grief through emotionless shock. This is the way all psycopaths sincerely express their condolences. It does not mean you make fun of them or make fun of death of someone who is already dead.
Charlie Kirk is meeting up with god in front of all the maimed kids of Gaza which he advocated for their slaughter and genocide. He deserves that and it’s ironic how he was killed and the world is better without him.
I want to say a million thing but I can’t bring myself to make fun of his death or make fun of the grieving of his supporters or family. That is not in me regardless of how much I disagree, hate and wish harm upon these people.
trump is the lowest and most distasteful form of subhuman life on this entire fucking planet.
You mean lack of grieving or you didn’t watch it.
Trump isn’t grieving Trump didn’t know who the fuck he was. His team is using it for political reasons. In what religion would Charlie be in Heaven? Ah yes the American Christian religion which doesn’t listen to anything in the Bible.
Fuck you.
(Believe this may have been sarcasm?)
Trump’s grieving
Citation needed, home slice
But I mean, he didn’t even compare Kirk’s neck to fountain of Kool Aid, or make fun of the look on his face, mention how he was just about to lie yet again about gun violence before he died by gun violence, or anything.
And it’s clear you didn’t even watch this anyway if you mention Trump grieving.
This is why they got rid of him. WTF there was nothing bad I guess making daddy Trump look bad is against the law.
free speech absolutists
More hate speech absolutists
And all the cocksuckers in the comment section saying “fwee speech has conseqwences uwu” deserve to be duct taped into a porta potty and set ablaze.
Y’all should have known better than to say something so trite and fascism adjacent.
That you’re surprised it’s being weaponized against you in turn is goddamn laughable, but you wanted your dumb little slogan that tried to explain a complex topic as stupidly as possible.
Like just think for one goddamn second about how fascists are going to use the literal fucking meaning of your phrase.
What is “my phrase” of which you speak?
Think
For
One
Goddamn
Second
Before
You
Talk
What.
The.
Fuck.
Are.
You.
On.
About?!
Not gonna clarify. Copy.
Maybe you should try fucking thinking about the context of this conversation.
July 2025 Paramount/CBS agreed to pay $16 million to trump over a 60 Minutes lawsuit, then announced The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is being cancelled.
July 2025 PBS and NPR were federally defunded in a Congressional tribute to trump.
December 2024 Disney/ABC agreed to pay $15 million to trump over a defamation lawsuit, then in September 2025 cancelled Jimmy Kimmel Live.
September 2025 New York Times, Penguin Books, several authors are now being sued by trump for $15 billion because, still, that 60 Minutes segment.
Just a reminder: No Kings
Hey do you mind if we try an alternate timeline for a few days
Or, you know, however long humanity has left?
I’ve been saying that the billionaires and oligarchs — who own the majority of the S&P500 and political class — WANT fascism for the last 2 decades. They are behind it’s political resurgence, globally; most have already publicly stated things that prove they are authoritarian sociopaths (Musk, Thiel, the Koch’s, Ellison, Zuck, etc).
This explains why Trump has never seen the invite or a prison cell, despite 100 clear as day felonies, why the Dem establishment has never done more than performative resistance, etc.
They always do. When capitalism starts to falter and the public opinion starts to turn on the system the ownership class goes right to fascism to crush the population.
I’d argue that for at least half of them, capitalism is just a stepping stone to their true goals. They didn’t opportunistically become fascist; they’ve always been that way
Capitulating to fascists and bullies NEVER ends well…
Seems like a great recipe for unrest. Destroy economy and even take away any relief valves like Colbert and Kimmel.
Cannot imagine that will make anyone happier with Taco. The dumbfucks that hate Kimmel and Colbert don’t watch their shows anyway, so the only way they will be “happy” is that they will sit there with dark little hearts and a smug grin about “owning the libs”. But that won’t improve their life one iota and these broken people definitely will not be happier for it.
Reminder to everyone to cancel their Hulu/Disney+ subscriptions if they still have them.
Okay, I bet Charlie will be off the air for longer though.
Dear USA, fight for your rights. What’s happening now reminds me of what happened to Baseem Youssef in Egypt: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27671642
It’s getting close.
No it isn’t. People are to comfortable and lazy.
No one wants to give up their comforts. We’re all just sitting here letting this happen. No one wants to get violent or have a general strike or stop paying taxes or camp out in front of the white house or stop buying shit… We’re afraid of losing things that are going to be taken away in the future anyway.
The Republic has fallen. The fascists have won.
Y’all ain’t even fight yet, what’s this loser talk about?
Laying down and giving up.
Listen to the martial aid with intestinal fortitude!
They aren’t going to buy design. 2025 wants it to be bloodless and looks like it well be.
This is why the fediverse matters. Kimmel or Colbert, right now they can turn to platforms like YT and will still be able to get the voice out.
But guess what. The same corporatism that control ABC control google. You live on their platforms your message is dependent on their approval.
The future is free; the future is federated.
Hear hear!
They can’t monetize on PeerTube, so they won’t
How we monetize might need to change. Maybe less ads, more donations? Budgets will have to go down, but that’s not so bad if the leash finally comes off.
As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.
Spez got invited to talk to Congress about radicalism on social media. I bet that has something to do with it. Steve “Bugeyes” Huffman will not turn down an opportunity to help Trump out.

Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:
/1. news /2. askreddit /3. cringetiktoks /7. technology /9. nofilternews /10. politics /13. fauxmoi /14. facepalm /18. whitepeopletwitter /23. popculturechat
The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?
[Edit: added slashes to prevent auto-formatting from changing the numbers]
I’ll try to find the one I navigated to but they kept getting closed for being “off topic”.
Also I’d argue the FCC making a threat and ABC actually pulling the guy are 2 separate stories.
I don’t think it’s some Reddit wide cabal as much as R/Politics sucking
If the fediverse was a threat then it would also be a target.

EDIT: I misread your comment. Forget I said anything. Carry on.
Here is ABCs feedback form

Let them know what you think about them prostrating themselves to the fascists
I could see some little snitch inside there feeding to their doxxing resources to try to get complainers fired.
I knew Trump was coming for Kimmel eventually. How long until American television is all pro-trump propaganda?
Never. Have you even Democracy Now?
Instead of shitting their pants, they should fight against the system Trump and Murdoch.
Canceled my D+ and Hulu subscriptions and wrote in other:
“Capitulating to Trump’s version of fascist America and knee jerk reaction to Kimmel made me rethink why I should give you my money. I don’t even like or watch Kimmel, but you are allowing free speech to be violated. I don’t support free speech abolitionists.“
We need to start poisoning Disney brands.
Never thought I’d see the day the Mouse wore a swastika.
Are you kidding? Walt Disney was a virulent anti-semite.
Not only do I agree, but I will comment to show visible support. This isn’t about Charlie it’s free speech.
I cancelled mine too. Clicked other but don’t remember seeing a place to comment. Missed opportunity. Well done you, though.
Nice! Good on you! Don’t worry about not saying why, if everyone is canceling today then they probably know why. Hulu didn’t have a spot to leave a why but Disney did. 🤷♂️
Well what are the remarks? What a shit article. It’s barely longer than a sentence.
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”
https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/jimmy-kimmel-pulled-abc-charlie-kirk-nexstar-rcna232036
Also, every headline I’ve seen portrays it as a comment on Kirk or on the shooting. But it’s entirely about the MAGA reaction.
Thank you.
Yeah all the articles are trying to leave out the actual remarks because there isn’t anything bad about what he said. Maga just didn’t like it.
Fascism, folks. Time to resist
But… Someone tried actually resisting and now we’re all hand wringing over it…
That’s why we all need to do it. NOW
We just found out when someone does something that all the top supposedly leftist commentators immediately capitulate and actually cry about it like a bunch of bitch-baby neoliberals
So, don’t be a commentator

I just cancelled my Hulu account this sucks, my daughter loves volleyball and I’m a football fan
Perhaps sail the seas and look at some IPTV options
