This needs to be emphasized. A lot of news and media sources keep saying that Kimmel was suspended for comments about Charlie Kirk. He was suspended for insulting Trump and MAGA. So much lazy reporting even by outlets critical of the decision.

Low bar.

I genuinely think I’ve done more for Americans than Trump ever has.

RFK, Patel, Linda Mac...like honestly, you would have trouble coming up with worse candidates as a joke
Except for one and as it turns out the most important one, Merrick Garland is the reason Trump isn't in jail where he belongs and is again president and even if he got caught in the slow roll he should have released the Epstein files despite what Dems are in them. Either way Trump wouldn't be in office if Garland wasn't an idiot.

Let's all keep in mind that Trump's initial presidential campaign was likely a stunt to promote his reality tv show. He got fired from that show for making racist comments and just decided to run with the presidency bid.

Are people now surprised the primary qualification for his appointments seems to be celebrity power?

Don’t think Jimmy should have been cancelled. Seems strange.

I am old enough to remember when people would get cancelled for an actual good reason. Like telling people to wear poppies.

I jest….

When you go to the Circus expect to see clowns.

Garland isn't incompetent, he just has feet of clay. But the fact he was AG falls on (a) Ruth Bader Ginsberg (who refused to retire in time to get Obama a SCOTUS pick in time); (b) Barack Obama (who chose Garland for SCOTUS unsuccessfully, thus making Biden feel like he should throw a position his way); (c) Mitch McConnell (who changed the rules and prevented Garlan's SCOTUS appointment) and (d) Biden (though TBF, why would he think Garland would act so lazily).

Facts are facts, Trump wouldn't be in office if Garland did his job, his missed opportunity to stop Trump in his tracks is eerily similar to allowing Hitler to seize power.
