Actually, if you do some honest research, you'll see the GOP does the majority of the spending, then leaves the financial mess for the Dems to clean up. www.investopedia.com/democrats-vs-republicans-who-had-more-national-debt-8738104
John Oliver has won numerous Emmys. The writing on his show is amazing!
No, Kimmel does NOT tell people how to vote. That's trumptard fever-dream bullshit. He uses satire to describe trump and his actions because trump's actions demand and deserve it.I don't know about it being fake outrage, but I think Greg Collard, the author of the article I referenced in the opening post may have been on to something when he said that it's not just what he said about Kirk. Honestly, I think he's said far worse in the past. I'll just quote Collard's concluding remarks where he gets into that:
**
There are legitimate questions and concerns about the role of the FCC and the Trump administration’s influence in Disney’s decision to put Kimmel on hiatus. This isn’t about that, and there is already plenty of coverage and appropriate scrutiny of that decision.
But what’s not being addressed enough is whether conservative outrage over Kimmel’s monologue is understandable. Unequivically, the answer is yes — but it’s not just about what he said Monday: that “the MAGA gang” was “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.”
It’s about what Kimmel has been saying and doing for years. He is a tool of the Democratic Party. He doesn’t just use his show to push his politics, but tells people outright how they should vote. This 19-minute video from last October, titled “A Special Monologue for the Republican in Your Life,” is the height of obnoxiousness. He asks people to show the video to their Republican friends or relatives in an effort to convince them not to vote for Trump. To quote the retired football player formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, “Child, please.”
Then there are other bits, “joking” that people who don’t have the Covid vaccine shouldn’t get treated for a heart attack, implying that people should continue vandalizing Teslas, his ass-kissing of Democratic office holders on his show and letting people know they have his endorsement. He even helped what was then the Biden-Harris campaign in 2024 raise $30 million in one night by moderating a discussion with Biden and former President Barack Obama. These and other examples are in the video at the top of this post, which was also included in “America This Week.”
He has the right to do all this, of course (although Walter Kirn makes a compelling argument on ATW that he has violated the terms of an FCC license to broadcast on the public’s airwaves). My point is, the conservative public isn’t just pushing back against a simple comedian. They are pushing back against a partisan who has continually put them down. That’s politics, a game that Kimmel has willingly played.

Actually, he presented skewed hyperbole, ignoring things like this one example: www.gbnews.com/politics/us/jimmy-kimmel-joe-biden-hilarious-game-president-age-mocked
DITTO.....and except for Gutfeld when I was visiting Corpus I never watched anything else on Fox.....as for any other TV news cable or otherwise we are talking decades.
You "thought he was alright when he talked about Russia"? Ok. LOL.
Yes, I get from the couple of your last post that you are an anti-vaxxer. Sorry to see that - for me - I get my medical advice from my doctor, not from heroin attacks appointed by trump.
He buys into the right-wing crap that Democrats need to be nice while Republicans can let 'er rip. It's the common theme I've seen from all trump-worshipers since this Charlie Kirk tragedy happened.
It's like you can't understand English. If you think you cannot agree with someone you only read like every other word or something and fill in the rest with your own nonsense and think you make sense.
No. I understand you fine. I read every word. You don't think Kimmel's satirizing the trump administration is funny. You called it "nothing but political hackery". What you fail to understand is that millions of other people do think Kimmel is funny, not only that but his confirmation of what trump's saying and doing is a comfort to many because they like to believe they're not crazy - that they really are seeing masked thugs in unmarked cars tackling grandmas and bus boys in our city streets.
I don't think he satires, I think he just spouts insults, delivered without a setup and his sense of timing blows wind. I suspect that you know what I mean, but want to defend him desperately. You know you were one of the 75% of viewers he lost since 2013.
I watched YouTubes of Kimmel every once in awhile - he was fine. His style is different than his peers but I didn't find it offputting - perhaps because I agree with his takes on trump and you don't? In any event, I'm not defending Kimmel in particular but speaking out against the cancelling of speech by political opponents just because people in power can. I'm speaking out against more opposing voices yet to be silenced because trump can get away with it. I'm actually speaking in favor of the 1A, considered so precious I thought, by the trump cult as well - but obviously the cult means just free speech for them.
Seriously, can you tell something about Gutfelds comic history prior to his deplorable antics and piss-poor comedic attempts on Fox News? Was he a "stand-up", a writer or columnist? Inquiring minds want to know.
Interesting. Whom do you think gives proper "satire" on late night talk shows, or any internet platform for that matter?
I gave the example of John Stewart at least three times in this thread alone. I think the man is funny. Colbert is better as a set up man, he'd set it up, Stewart would hit it out of the park... then he was alone and all he was was Olbermann, with more angry gestures...
