    Fuck them. The fuckstick that got his jugular aerated had a net worth of $12 million. His rancid widow is going to be fine.

    Has Kimmel said anything about what’s going on? Made any public statements? If he has we should blow them up right? Show that you can’t shut them up. Sadly I can’t find any

      He’s probably going to bring a legal case. It’s better to be quiet in public when you’re going to be legally challenging this type of thing.

    If ABC would call their bluff. It’s football season and tell them to contact Sinclair demanding ABC be put back on it would be instantly.

    Personally I’d just donate 1 cent and then make a sizable donation to a good cause right after

      I wouldn’t donate a single cent to that hate group but I would publicly give them my two cents and tell them to kindly go F themselves and then donate to planned parenthood and NAACP and Pride groups.

      I doubt he does. He is probably staying quiet for now, checking with lawyers on if there is any recourse.

      The fact that he hasn’t made any statement about this situation yet strongly suggests that he’s got them stick straight legs. Guy’s got plenty of money, and now, more attention on him than he’s probably ever had in his life. From a “making his way in the world” perspective, he’s fine.

      Let the fascists keep digging a while, no reason to say anything at all until the absolute right moment presents itself.

        He’s got a few hundred employees that are out of work. I wouldn’t be surprised if he bends if only to keep their paychecks.

          That’s also true, and I’d bet he and his people are in discussions with them and with other platforms already. The lack of a statement from him to date would go along with that, too.

          He’s not getting the show back, not without agreeing to be nice which defeats the fucking purpose. The president said as much after he got Colbert fired, that Kimmel was next. Appeasing them will not fix anything it will only make them worse. Making these appeasers pay for their Craven betrayal will help.

            As Pritzker said just yesterday, there are consequences to standing up, but the consequences of not standing up are so much worse.

              Pritzker is the expert on not standing up. Seeing as he did not stand up in 2024 when we needed somebody that could win the Democratic presidential race, and he chose not to. Apparently bad faith bigotry allegations are enough to prevent our Democratic leaders from saving our country from an unthinkable irreversible results. Newsom too. Both failed america and have forfeited there right to run for presidency in the future.

                Illinois has done a metric fuckton of good things under his watch, not the least of which is Little t backing down on sending Texas National Guard to Chicago.

                  Yet by not standing up and taking the presidency they did an inquantifiably larger amount of damage.

                  Why are the leaders in opposition to the Republicans all fucking cunts? That’s a good question, what is not in question is that pritzker is one of said cunts in question. No challenge for house leadership, senate leadership, not the presidency, not even with a universally unpopular candidate that never breached 30% approval offering zero reform running as the status quo in 2024.

      Media giant Sinclair called on Jimmy Kimmel to apologize directly to Charlie Kirk’s family over remarks he made about the conservative activist’s killing, and to give both them and Turning Point USA a “meaningful personal donation.”

      It is Sinclair though, they are the unnamed affiliate from the headline. They own 39% of ABC local stations nationwide (officially, with more through shell corps), which is why they were able to pull this bs. Although, I’m sure ABC/Disney would have folded anyways with the FCC threatening them.

          No worries, it would be far more accurate of the headline to list it as sinclair media anyways instead of a nameless affiliate.
