          I like Jimmy. He’s been blasting Trump 100% since day one. Not for one minute did he ever even hint at both sides bullshit and I respect him for that.

          Lots of other comedians used Trump early because it was brining in views, Jimmy always saw the piece of shit that Trump was and kept calling him that.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Jimmy Kimmel threw a jab at Donald Trump while onstage at the Oscars less than an hour after the ex-president penned a scathing Truth Social post about the talkshow host.

    On Sunday, just ahead of the last award of the night – best picture – getting doled out to Oppenheimer, Kimmel addressed the crowd at the 96th Academy Awards to share a review he had received about his performance as host of the ceremony.

    His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be,” Kimmel read aloud from his phone.

    “Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos.

    Kimmel then thanked Trump for watching before asking: “Isn’t it past your jail time?”

    The crowd loudly hollered in response to the comment, which was a clear reference to the four criminal cases Trump has been charged in.

    Folks, let me tell you something about this so-called comedian Jimmy Kimmel. He thinks he’s so funny with his jokes and pranks, but he’s just plain boring. And his jibes are weak, they don’t even pack a punch! I’ve seen better comedy from my golden toilet seat.

    And don’t get me started on that Oscars thing. What kind of awards show is it where the host makes fun of someone who has done more for this country than he ever will? It’s disgraceful, frankly.

    But you know what? I won’t let the little man bring me down. I’ll keep doing what I do best – making America great again, one day at a time. And when I run for president in 2024, I’m going to make sure Jimmy Kimmel never cracks another joke about me again. Believe me, folks, it’s gonna be huge.

    Can we get a non paywall link to a video clip or something? Even looking it up online leads to nothing but articles where the imbedded video has nothing to do with Kimmel or videos of people talking about it

      but I think he’s going to win again

      I see little evidence that many moderate republican or independents are going to vote for a convicted rapist to be the leader of the free world. Just my take on it. Just having the maga cult in his pocket is not enough votes to unseat an incumbent president.

        Really? I see so much evidence for that. Because they’ve done it before. Republicans have shown time and time again that they have no qualms whatsoever with voting for anyone as long as they have the word Republican next to their name. That’s the strength of their party. They may gripe and b**** about it but they always fall into line, election day.

          Republicans aren’t the only voters though.

          Democrats underestimated how unpopular Clinton was with moderates, which is how Trump got elected.

          Now it’s the other way around. Trump already lost to Biden because everyone but the Republicans loathed him by that point, and he’s only been worse ever since.

          I’m not counting eggs before they hatch, but when it comes down to it I think that Biden can carry the election as long as Dems and moderates show up to vote.

        In 2016 I was so certain that Trump would lose to Hillary, that when he won I was in complete disbelief. Over the last 8 years I’ve spent a lot of time working with a lot of blue-collar people and have spent a lot of time talking to them about their beliefs. And while I don’t share those beliefs, I understand how they got there.

        And as unbelievable as it may be to some of us, there are a large portion of population that thinks of Biden just as lowly as we may think of Trump. And they have their reasons. They have their own echo chamber that makes them believe that there’s not a single chance that Biden will wil, just like how we have our own echo chamber telling us the opposite.

        And from what I can see, the right is a lot more enthusiastic about their candidate then the left is about theirs. That’s the only reason I think Trump will end up winning.

          Don’t forget Trump has only ever won once - in 2016 - and even then he lost the popular vote by 3 million. Every single major race since then - the 2018 midterms, the 2020 presidential election, the 2022 midterms - he or his endorsed candidates either outright lost or failed to live up to expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as anxious as anybody else and I’ll believe it when I see it, but if I were to place a bet I’d bet he’s going to lose yet again.

          And he would lost have if he hadnt cheated 2 weeks before the election by paying off his hookers.

          Just cuz he ‘won’ doesnt mean he won. Is Lance Armstrong the winner of the tour de france? Nope.

            Just because you decided that he wasn’t supposed to win the presidency last time, doesn’t mean he didn’t already sit in the chair for 4 years. If it’s happened before, it can happen again. And I think it unfortunately will.

        Just so I understand. “Grad them by the pussy” and general asshole corrupt Trump was ok. Rapist Trump is not ok?

        I hope you’re right.

      Blame dems for running shit candidates.

      Imagine if Bernie won the nomination in 2016…

      We’d have 8 years of Sanders and then democrats would be running someone comparable or even better.

      But the ruling class didn’t like that, so this is what we get.

      I hope trump wins just to punish biden supporters. Tired of these wet-noodle candidates that do nothing.

      Don’t blame me. Blame everyone who voted for Hillary in the 2016 primary. They are the problem.

          If Trump is Putin’s puppet and Putin supports Hamas, then wouldn’t Trump be better for the people of Gaza than Biden?

          Unless Trump isn’t Putin’s puppet or Putin doesn’t support Hamas?

          Democracy was lost the moment we allowed unlimited funds to be pumped into campaigns.

          I’m just being real about the situation instead of living in a fantasy land like a lot of people.

          Of course, those same people get mad when I point out reality.

        The Republican Congress since Mitch McConnell’s 2010 class is responsible for killing most government action since the middle of the Obama administration. The Republican party is the actual problem.

          “Generic Democrat” polls better than Biden. You can argue he has a chance, but you can’t argue that he’s popular, or polling well against Trump. I kind of take issue with “crushed” a descriptor of 2020 too. Skin of his teeth seems more reasonable, and in an environment that’s completely different from right now. They did it with Hillary, another very unpopular candidate and we got Trump. They’re doing it again now, and it seems nuts to go so balls out against actual voters rather than the people who are literally deciding who the candidate is. But what do I know🤷‍♂️

        I will absolutely blame you. I wanted Sanders enough to switch parties to vote for him in the primary. I get it.

        But this time isn’t about getting what we want. This is about reducing harm. The math is simple, more people will die and suffer under Trump. He will vilify the weakest of us to give his base red meat to chew on. Do you not have enough examples as to what happens when a population is dehumanized? Is that a thing you will allow in order to keep your ideals pristine?

        You want change? Start local. Find like minded people and build a resilient community -that’s where we can find power. Start voting people into office from the bottom up.

        It’s a sprint right now to stop the worst from happening but a marathon to make an equitable society.
