Kimmel seemed SPOOKED last night over this, going on defense and making up BS excuses for his rhetoric.

This guy needs to be tossed off the air.

He wasn’t spooked he has zero regrets over what he said and gave the most bs excuse ever which convinced me even more that he had advanced knowledge if he was spooked he would have said he’s sorry

But, THESE PEOPLE ARE STUPID.

He can be a hate filled scumbag throwing out inciting rhetoric, but not on a network, that simple.

If Kimmel hurts the stock price, they won’t be able to dump him fast enough.

Good move which will get Disney/ABC seriously evaluating his value. Wasn’t his off/on again contract extended for 1 year. ...thus ending before too many more months.

Back to cable for you !....your party is over.

Its about find out time for that weasel.

If he was trying to harass my wife like that, I would have to do something about it.

He's spooked alright.
Remember he was suspended and nearly sacked just last year for his crazy antics...and that was without FDA procedures being instigated against him.
There is now.

Kimmel?

He doesn’t want to be any martyr.
He wants to feel safe and protected spewing his hate and vitriol.
The first amendment protects citizens from the tyranny of government. It doesn’t mean you say anything you want without consequences. Causality exists in nature.
You can have a problem free philosophy all day long, but the world can thump you hard. FAFO is truest in the streets.
In a hollywood cocoon, it’s easier to peacock and flex.

What does that have to do with whether Trump is justified in sending the FCC after Disney because Kimmel told a joke that was in poor taste?

They need to get Kimmel ... and his little wife, too. She’s the primary instigator and puppet master.

How so? It was a joke in poor taste. It hardly rose to the level of inciting someone to take action against Trump.
