    Ya know, I don’t really like Kimmel: growing up he and Adam Carolla (lol) did the man show, and even as a kid I just thought he was a not-funny low brow asshole. But I’m glad he’s stirring the shit-pot here. Let it not be a typical media distraction, but a continual provocation for these pricks to be sloppy and show their hand, and a call to action for enough of the American people to wake up and start saying no to the shit that is eating them alive.

      I can’t help but remember it’s a big club and i think Kimmel is in it.

      So then i think they all in on it and aren’t as mad as they are acting.

      I also can’t stand Kimmel for so many reasons. He really isn’t funny. The only funny part about this distraction is that Trump isn’t wrong on what he says about Kimmel.

        Indeed, though I believe it is a tiered club. Millionaires eat shit and do immoral/reprehensible things for their paycheck, and generally have to testify to the ideology in some fashion. Billionaires eat comfortably atop those particular servants, I’d speculate.

        Kimmel’s in the millionaire tier and is very appropriately mediocre. It’s almost weird how he’s so much the same as when I was kid watching comedy central. Just a little more pc and mainstream (misogyny isn’t as broadly acceptable anymore, I guess?).

        I just like that he’s bringing attention to the absolute disgrace of it all and a broad audience is at least in earshot. Like, maybe it’ll help. And I personally wouldn’t go so far as to give Trump credit for being correct about anything. Chalk that up to broken clock syndrome.
