I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️

I don't think most Democrats realize how much the George Floyd protests pissed the MAGAs off. That's all they are doing. Charlie Kirk is being passed off as their George Floyd, and like they weren't allowed to go after him without getting shouted down and reported to HR, you won't go after Kirk.

I think the Kimmel stuff is quite serious and bad, but taking a rich guy off the air for speech is not as harsh as agents of the state grabbing someone over speech and deporting them without due process, and the latter person is clearly more vulnerable, come on.
