And then bootlickers like bluejay acting like this is the first time late night hosts went for political humor. This is bigger than what you're after, bluejay. This is the US government starting to cancel and likely later kill anyone who disparages the President/government. Be smarter, man.
I get what you're trying to pass this off as. But if all you're saying is "good he was cancelled because I hate his stuff", then just shut up, because that is far from the point of what happened with his cancelling. You need to be way more in tune with how far this is going.

Relax man. Stating an opinion isn't that deep. I don't like both of them. That's alright.

His opinion is a bit silly but I wouldn’t go as far as lumping him in with your idols.

Agreed on his opinion being silly. Kimmel is so frickin cool, and he’s so frickin tough, he’s funny as god damned hell. He cracks me up the way he just says stuff, frickin Jimmy, funny as hell

You changed the thread title from appreciation thread to assassination thread?
What prompted that?

Guys, not liking Jimmy Kimmel doesn't mean I like Trump. Some of you need to get outside for a breather, as you're getting too worked up about nonsense arguments.

It's this.
I'll take the most unfunny late night hosts staying on if it maintains a landscape in the media where poking fun at the sitting president or administration isnt taboo or job threatening.

Just an FYI, people are jumping on your because it comes across that you're saying the fascist means justify the ends on a matter that is purely subjective opinion.

Exactly. Liking Jimmy Kimmel or not isn't the issue, personally I can't stand him but ending his show because of the tamest jokes in the world to appease the fragile ego of the literal president of the United states is actual cancel culture.

Man, people were demanding whole threads get shut down and mass banning occur the last time someone jumped in with “I don’t agree with how it happened but I’m glad it happened.”
Some light objection to the old man “he should’ve been cancelled cause i don’t think he’s very funny!” take I’m sure you can handle without overblowing the reaction.

Nice try. Do you think that the FCC should be allowed to pressure companies to cancel shows it doesn't like?

Saying Kimmel was washed anyways and not seeing this for what it is is like saying they shouldn't provide rice to people experiencing a famine because the texture is just icky too you personally.
Intentional obtuseness and completely on brand for those who have shown they lack any ideological consistency.
