I think there is a much larger problem now. ABC cancelled him, which resulted in a massive protest where people cancelled Disney to such huge numbers that they had to bring Kimmel back.

Now he needs to come back, for the people, and fight the good fight.

And I can only assume this is going to be one heck of a fight. Trump is going to lose his mind over this whole thing and attack Disney, which is going to force them to punch back to ensure they do not get crushed.

Disney was basically forced to enlist in the front line combat against the fascist government.

Which, coincidentally, is something with which The Walt Disney Company has previous experience.

You idolize a child rapist.

Trumpers have the dumbest talking points...he wasn't taken off the air for ratings (duh) Trumps FCC pressured them to take him off because he made fun of a child rapist with thin skin. Private company can make that decision if they like, that is NOT what happened here.

Imagine being more delicate than a snowflake that Jimmy freaking Kimmel somehow offends you. He's about as controversial as a bag of milk.

Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

So what does it feel like constantly simping for a pedophile? Do you feel proud when you write a post in defense of a child rapist? Personally I couldn't think of anything more disgusting to do with my free time, other than actually raping kids like the guy you immortalize in your profile picture

I am trying very hard to ignore it, I already got sin binned for an out of line comment about it. Personally I think its should be banned its an obvious troll job not to mention who has a politician in their frigging avatar on a hockey forum. Ban all political avatars if you must.

above my pay grade though

His youtube views are quite impressive, from 1 mill to 4.5 mill, thats a big reach online for his show.

I thought that was a pretty classy, funny, and intelligent response from Kimmel. And he still went just as hard at Trump as he usually does, so that was fun.

I love that he put up that Bendan Carr tweet from 2022 for the entire world to see. It's important to highlight how hypocritical and spineless these losers are.

I think he’s a garbage poster but more censorship or controlling what people can and can’t have as an avatar is not the answer here
This is clearly more than a hockey forum

That particular politician is a rapist though. And intends to invade Canada. And is a pedophile.

Great use of the opportunity. When I started watching it earlier it had 8.8 million views. Almost at 11 million now…
