DJT should stop punching downward; forget about people like this. Kimmel’s just an unfunny dick. Stop elevating lowlifes.

R H's avatar

100%. The less attention these lunatics get, the better off we all are.

Mike Gustine's avatar

If only he could. I support him, by the way, but this seems like one of his failings. He should stop giving them what they want.

VICKI's avatar

I agree, speak softly or not at all because they are all afraid of the big stick...they are air really.

fuzzi's avatar

Kimmel involved Trump's family. I don't blame him for reacting.

Dutchmn007's avatar

I get it but by Trump going tête à těte with him it raises the guttersnipe up to his level.

Leave him in the gutter where he belongs.

I have been disliking this guy for a long time. I’m tired of political militants pretending to be comedians. Thank you Sasha.

Kidbuck's avatar

It's true and some of their rhetoric, though, is inciting violence. We've seen too much of it actually leading to violence so it's time to start indicting them. Put them in front of a judge.

They've locked up plenty of people for a lot less.

Gitch's avatar

I agree, what happened to thier hate speech? And what they deemed as disinformation?

INTJ's avatar

That's exactly right. I am wanting a consistent application of standards, or they will keep at it.

I remember Kimmel from back when he had a show with Ben Stein. It was clear that they didn't like each other. And it was clear that Kimmel was a hateful, low IQ poser.

michael holt's avatar

Sasha, take your own advice and ignore Barbarella. You may be too young to remember the first Jane Fonda iteration, but I'm not. And she's not "worth it" either.

Brian M's avatar

Barbarella was HOT!! Way before I knew who F’d up she is

michael holt's avatar

Brian, “pretty is as pretty does.” Your mom probably told you that and you just forgot! 😂

Brian M's avatar

That makes no sense at all. Pretty is an adjective, not a noun. But you probably don’t know the difference. You must have heard that from your mom.

michael holt's avatar

My reference to your mom was not intended as any kind of insult, but rather as one of those proverbial "mom sayings." And I'm sure you didn't mean to insult my mother either.

She died of cancer decades ago at the age of only 57. Bittersweet memory for me. 💔

VICKI's avatar

That is sad indeed, losing mom and mom's always did tell us what to do and how to do it and we miss all our moms. No one is insulting any mom's so let not get touchy.

He must be an English teacher!

michael holt's avatar

You're probably referring to "Brian" rather than me, but I did teach some college English before attending Law School. (I preferred the study of literature to Law, just couldn't support my young family with my English degrees.)

Clarity Seeker's avatar

I was referring to the other fellow. I try to avoid giving grammar lessons especially since I do not closely proof read my own posts. But I do support English teachers today whose students become proficient in reading. And even more so in thinking. 😉

Pam Humphrey's avatar

she's nothing but a traitor!!

michael holt's avatar

You talking about “Hanoi Jane” by any chance? 😳

R H's avatar

She should have been executed for treason after her trip to see POW's in the Viet Nam conflict. Remember some prisoners discreetly passed their SS #'s to her and she then handed them over to the Viet Cong. Should have been a public execution also.

Harry Prothero's avatar

Hanoi Jane. She will always be known as Hanoi Jane. Someone should write it in bright red paint on her tombstone, if anyone can get to it, it will probably be locked up tight.

Betsy's avatar

Are you right? Of course. Trump should ignore him. But I am so deeply angry about this particular joke. It is completely offensive.

quarkdetector's avatar

...unfortunately, in the greater context ... there are women tonight who are the *expectant widows* ... they sit by the beds of their loved ones in hospice and that *glow* is exhaustion... fear ... and grief ... Kimmel chooses to dehumanize not only the First Lady but those women as well ... it is contemptible ...

julia's avatar

Another very large group of "expectant widows" are the spouses, male and female, of police officers, border control agents, ICE agents, security officers of all kinds, our military, and secret service officers. Their spouses, too, go to bed never knowing if their loved one will return.

quarkdetector's avatar

...Absolutely ...

...this is not about left or right ... it's not about Kimmel wrapping himself in the American flag and shouting freedom of speech ... it IS about decency and respect ...

julia's avatar

For kimmel and so many others, it is about clicks, and money. Evil has taken over their hearts.

Ol’ Country Gal's avatar

Agree!! Even with our freedom of speech decent, civil people don’t spew garbage from their mouth like he does. He obviously doesn’t have a conscious. I don’t understand people that would wish anyone to be a widow.

Betsy's avatar

I didn't even think of that, quark - you're so right. It's even worse than I realized.

Commonsense's avatar

Well said! Thank you.

Ruth H's avatar

This ‘joke’ crossed the line and Melania is right to call out ABC/Disney. These media people have repeatedly lied and targeted Trump family and conservatives. Kimmel and Colbert have pushed hateful rhetoric as ‘jokes’ for ten years. Enough is enough. They and Dem politicians are responsible for these lunatics carrying out these acts of violence.

Dorota's avatar

She should call to boycott Disney Parks, and ask sponsors to drop his show.

If you like the show watch it, but it crossed the decency line and most of us don't like it so don't go to Disney.

Ruth H's avatar

Haven’t been to Disney in decades. Never watch Kimmel.

Dorota's avatar

Same here, but companies that advertise with them have algorithms in place, that tell them what people think about it.

Ruth H's avatar

Hopefully these advertisers will get the point and stop placing ads on these horrific shows.

Kidbuck's avatar

EXACTLY. It's time to start locking them up!

Squelch this violence or it will continue.

KARYN TRUITT's avatar

I wonder if George would be saying a joke is just a joke if someone went after Amal in the same way.

VICKI's avatar

I feel very badly for Melania, the classiest first lady ever.

Jeff Keener's avatar

The joke wasn't about Trump, the joke was on his wife. I'll say it. In a righteous world, that would result in a quiet, private ass-whipping.

Gitch's avatar

Exactly! Quick, to the point, problem solved

jabster's avatar

You put out a fire by starving it of oxygen or cooling it down, not by pouring gasoline on it.

NNTX's avatar

Hoping that President Trump will realize that the so-called “cultural elite” or neither of those things..not elite and not cultured. My guess is that they haven’t read a decent book, any of them, in years, nor have they had a meaningful discussion on any subject beyond their woke views and narcissistic obsessions.

On Sat night, after enduring yet another (!) assassination attempt, Trump called it correctly. He is a threat because he is making impactful changes, needed changes, to rescue America from its managed decline (and btw, this is good for the world too, if not for the globalists).

Kimmel is a gnat on the country’s collective a**.

Mark In Houston's avatar

Jimmy Kimmel is utterly irrelevant and definitely NOT funny. Disney/ABC are pathetic corporate cowards. F- them all!

Bill G's avatar

Kimmel a cheap punk. Always has been since his shtick was asking young women to feel what was in his pants. In a way he was Epstein before Epstein. Leave him behind with the rest of the trash in your wake, Mr. President. We've ignored Kimmel for years.

jabster's avatar

I fired Kimmel a long time ago.

reality speaks's avatar

Boycott DIsney, ESPN and ABC and anyone that advertises on those outlets. There is only one thing they care about folks stop giving it too them.

Tao Of Freedom's avatar

One of your absolute best articles among so many superb articles ...

Craig Cornell's avatar

You are just terrific Sasha. A perfect take on Pathetic J. Kimmel and the hypocrisy on the left, who would howl in outrage if the target was Michelle Obama.

mark aaron's avatar

My dream: Baron happens to see Kimmel out in public, a nightclub, a party, a Whole Foods and walks up and introduces himself. Baron then slaps Kimmel so "country boy hard", Kimmel's eyes water and his face turns red as the people watch and stare and whisper. Baron turns and walks off.

Griswold's avatar

Country boys don’t slap. They thunder punch.

mark aaron's avatar

a public slap is a bigger disrespect. Even country boys know that.

Dave's avatar

Always right on the mark- great piece

Jeff Schreiber's avatar

Don’t think for a second that Kimmel or any of his peers ever have anything original to say about the state of the world or POTUS. It’s all scripted to fit the global overlords agenda. I think it’s a riot that he’s portrayed as some kind of hero working for the people. What a joke. The writers and planners have been making shit up for decades maybe longer. But they used to use it in fiction - now it’s on late night TV.

Ever watch Network? 2026 marks fifty years since that prophetic movie hit the theaters. Back then it was satire. It’s since become reality.

“This is mass madness, you maniacs!”

Pam Humphrey's avatar

a line from that movie was used at the republican convention in Worcester MA last weekend!

Kevin Trevillian's avatar

You are right about it being scripted. I doubt Kimmel writes much of his own material. His script writers likely receive instructions from the producers, who in turn receive instructions from their higher ups, and so forth. If Kimmel were fired, they would just put in someone else just like him. The people you see on TV are at the end of the food chain. Ratings, good or bad, don't matter anymore because politically oriented shows can get alternative funding if advertising revenues dry up.

Jeff Schreiber's avatar

These people you see in front of the camera are basically well trained actors. There have been some exceptions like Ted Koppel on ABC and of course Sharyl Attkison on CBS. But I think late night comedy shows have not been the same since Johnny Carson left. He was genuinely funny and roasted everyone equally.

The EZ Rider's avatar

Trump gave a pretty good answer when asked about the Cole Allen "manifesto" by Norah O’Donnell on 60 Minutes, but it was the wrong answer. The right answer would have been something like: "Why is 60 Minutes asking me about the rantings of a guy too dumb to realize he can't get past dozens of police to even reach the escalator leading down to the ballroom?"

quarkdetector's avatar

...in what alternate universe would O'Donnell sit with a victim of a crime and ask the victim to explain the rationale of the perpetrator of the crime? ...

Griswold's avatar

In The twisted minds of these democrat media myrmidons, the point was to reiterate the justification of the attack. “Trump is not an innocent victim” to them

Is Nora related to Rosie?
