  1. No matter our polítical differences, we need to respect each others, and the office of the POTUS is also an institution that deserves respect, no matter who the president is. Comedy stops being funny when human rights or respect towards a fellow human being is violated.

  2. The joke was obviously about how Trump is old AF and his current, third wife is likely quietly waiting for him to kick the bucket. Folks claiming he's inciting violence are willfully lying.

  3. He
    Jimmy Kimmel is the definition of a angry white man angry and has himself being white and he’s obviously an alcoholic because you can tell he’s always got a red face

  4. Kimmel is a political ideologue who makes pro democrat speeches disguised as comedy. There is no political statement or speech being utilized by him here other than a reference to a belief Trump would soon be dead. That's not protected speech, like criticizing foreign policy or the like. Kimmel shouldn't be fired for speech. He should be fired for being a terrible "comedian."

  5. WHEN 1ST AMEND RIGHTS ARE DELIBERATELY USED TO INCITE HATEFUL VIOLENCE , THAT'S WHERE THE LINE NEEDS TO BE DRAWN .
    KIMMEL'S HATE SPEECH TRIGGERS THE MENTALLY UNSTABLE ,
    RHETORIC TO ACT . KIMMEL KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING . JUST HOW WOULD HE FEEL IF THE TABLES WERE TURNED AND HE BECAME A MOVING TARGET . HE NEEDS TO TREAD CAUTIOUSLY . UNTIL THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR LOWLIFE KIMMEL ,
    IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE .

  6. And a majority of Americans are calling for Trump to be removed from office. Not least of all for Trump's habit of trampling upon our 1st amendment free speech rights.

  7. You know.. Jimmy Kimmel has nothing new to bring to the table. It’s the same old stuff.. Trump this and Trump that. I really tried to give the show a chance but these people are in no position to talk politics, they are just talk show hosts. Not entertaining at all. 🙄

  8. Millions of us calling for trump to be fired for far worse than comedians using this administration for basis of numerous jokes. Let's face it..this entire administration top to bottom and side to side is a joke.

  9. These people saying "free speech" to someone inciting death on someone are the same people who got 5 covid shots and canceled people during the pandmic and woke biden years for speaking factual truths that they didnt like.
