Picking unnecessary fights with influential show people?

Kimmel influential?

Maybe influential for a dictionary definition of the word idiot.

“He simply does not understand.”

Yeah, you are so much smarter than Trump! Trump understands nothing! Where are the buildings you built that changed the skylines of cities? Where is you Mega Million Dollar Empire?

Kimmel is the most uninspired comedian to curse Late Night? Who the heck even watches The Oscars these days?

It’s a good 40+ years since I wasted a minute watching these clowns. And I couldn’t name any of the movies up for awards if you offered me a 40 gallon garbage bag of Benjamins.

Uhm, Jimmy, it looks like it’s YOUR side of the political aisle that has this obsession with JAILING its opponents.

Perhaps you might want to step back from where you are and take a SOBER look at what you and your fellow travelers are proposing, because the pendulum ALWAYS swings back...

Can someone figure out the last time the Oscars did not go out of their way to insult Conservatives?

That list looks a lot like my “special” list for someday.
Of course I mean the Hallmark Christmas cards, nothing bad.

One thing I really liked about Nixon was his enemies list. Actually all politicians have them, even at lowest local level. Have to keep track.

But then in one of the maybe 10 or 12 books about Norman Mailer I’ve read (3 new books came out last year) by Peter Manso he revealed that Mailer kept a list with “name” “what was done against me” and “action I took against him.” Most had no action taken. I like the idea a lot.

Thanks for giving President Trump the airtime Jimmy. Keep saying his name.

For Trump, bashing the Oscars and getting return fire from Kimmel is free publicity and antagonizes his adversaries so as to get them to help consolidate his base of support. The astonishing part is that Kimmel and the Oscar crowd seem genuinely aware that they are actually helping Trump and damaging their own professional and business interests.

When Ted Koppel (who used to be the anchor for ABC’s Nightline) asked Jimmy Kimmel that the oscars tilt left and would have a hard time attracting conservatives to watch, Jimmy insisted that some conservatives secretly watch the oscars but don’t tell their friends. What Jimmy did tonight doesn’t help the oscars attract new viewers for next year.

Trump just tricked them into acknowledging him at the Oscars, and demonstrating how biased they are at the same time.

I thought the Oscars were about movies.
Why was Kimmel and others doing politics?
Hint: They know the movies made are no good. Gotta distract the audience.

(Trump) has to recognize that these sort of comments turn off women and that is why despite being up +10-15% on any issue like who would perform better on economy, Trump is only up 1.8% points on Biden in the RealClearPolitics average of polls,Trump should be up +10 but every time he says something like this his numbers with women go down. Not smart and stands a good chance of blowing it.

So you're saying that elections are a beauty/popularity contest for women and candidates should sacrifice principles, say reassuring things and look good?

I've come to realize that women getting the vote handed the Democrat Party a lifeline when it should have died years ago. The party that's thrived on lies and fear-mongering far too long and at this time we need husbands to step up and assert...not these soy-boys in pajamas mewling "yes dear". Those ones who are pretending NOT to be homosexuals.

Trump could have ignored the Oscars show, Kimmel could have ignored Trump.

Trump continued to show he has to comment on everything, Kimmel showed why we don’t care about the Oscars and haven’t cared for many years.

“It’s about every vote.”

Listen to you and we get stiffs like Bob Dole, George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Jeb Bush. For once we have someone on our side who fights back. Better that than those gentlemen losers.

Trump is one hundred percent correct. I’m glad it rattled the Hollywood loonies.
