Democrats Hold Candlelight Vigils For Jimmy Kimmel

LOS ANGELES, CA — Democrats gathered together outside the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, bearing candles and saying silent prayers on behalf of Jimmy Kimmel, whose show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, was placed on hold indefinitely.

"So this is how Democracy dies," one attendee was heard saying. "America will never recover from this."

Jimmy Kimmel's show was pulled from the air after he made a blatantly false statement about the murder of Charlie Kirk, where he suggested MAGA republicans were "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." Unfortunately for Kimmel, the political points he scored from the comment and his unsuccessful attempts to make people laugh were not enough to keep his show on the air.

Kimmel declined to apologize for the comment, leading to his show's abrupt cancellation. Democrats immediately called it an attack on freedom of speech.

"In America, people are supposed to be able to say whatever they want without taking a hit in their TV ratings. That's what free speech is all about," Kimmel said before a crowd of tearful supporters. "I should be allowed to stay on the air forever, no matter how many lies I tell or how mad advertisers get or how low my ratings fall. Now, mourn for me. Mourn for me as you would George Floyd, or I will cancel you."

At publishing time, supporters accused Jimmy Kimmel of milking their sympathy when they suddenly remembered he was about to quit anyway in early 2026.

Suddenly they care about free speech. But only when it’s THEIR speech.

The most touching of the memorials were the interactive “What’s in my pants?” cardboard cutouts of Kimmel.

What is poor Jimmy Kimmel to do? Here are some ideas: 1.
Start a Las Vegas Show called “Trumpocratic Nation” a Comedy show about Trump and his policies so all the Hate Trumpers can gather and laugh at his non-jokes—and hope Trump screws up.
2. Do a podcast to keep his name out there in the public eye.
3. Run for public office—Congress man with party backing. Let him joke in the House.
4. Make a low budget horror movie with other hate Trumper stars—like DeNero. Call it “Night of the Orangeman!” Make it funny and it might even make money. In the end Orangeman sucks all the blood out of Jimmy!
5. Write a tell all book, get some dirt on big people who you have had on your show. Call it Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

ROTFL! Those goofy bastards. All Jimbo has to do is go hire one on Biden’s refugee Dipstick Judgees and he can get them to, “temporarily pause, for now” President Trump from firing Jimbo. That’s the way the new Far-left, Feral Judiciary works. The RATS have weaponized the refugee creeps in the black robes.

Well... LOL until they start shooting, after that all bets are off.

Hatred is a much-overused word, so I will refrain and say I LOATHE Jimbo. Also DETEST.

I was going to pick on the Brits for electing such an oaf, but then I remembered the large collection of sub-species and Muzzies in our government and realized that we have much more shame than do the Brits.

My bad, complained about the Brits to the wrong area. I had a Biden moment. Apologies.

Hopefully they don’t waste all the butane polluting the atmosphere. They should burn something down.

The Democrats will assassinate you if you’re a conservative American and try to use THEIR First Amendment. We’re the peons. Only their illegal alien slave laborers have rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Americans don’t get jack .... We don’t even get “due process”. Check President Trump’s record in our Weaponized Lawfare Feral Courts. The courts are a friggin’ joke.
