He barely even remarked on it. He said nothing about Kirk himself.
Honestly he said more about how little Trump gave a shit about him and how much more Trump cared about his stupid ballroom
Canceled my D+ and Hulu subscriptions and wrote in other:
“Capitulating to Trump’s version of fascist America and knee jerk reaction to Kimmel made me rethink why I should give you my money. I don’t even like or watch Kimmel, but you are allowing free speech to be violated. I don’t support free speech abolitionists.“
We need to start poisoning Disney brands.
Never thought I’d see the day the Mouse wore a swastika.
Are you kidding? Walt Disney was a virulent anti-semite.
^ Kirk’s words ^
Those are paraphrases of Kirk’s words. It might be more accurate to say those are his positions.
Why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?
Because they are institutions that are trying to provide comprehensive discussion since the world is grey. We don’t have to like it, but that’s probably why they allow it. Plus, yes, they make money.
That’s not why a conservative college in Utah does it
While they’re at it, they should have an astrologist come debate the statistics professor.
“I understand your point, well ok, I don’t really understand it, but that doesn’t matter. Mercury is in retrograde so that explains everything. No need to bring numbers into this, unless we’re consulting numerology, then we need them of course.”
Especially since he never attended any college or had any education after high school.
Reporter: “Mr. Krab, why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?”
Mr. Krab: “…MONEY.”
E: grammar
Cause they agree with him?? Cause he paid them to be there? Who the fuck knows.

Washington Post fired its black opinion editor because she quoted Charlie Kirk for saying:
“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot.”
Let’s stop taking the Washington Post seriously
They are basically natuonal enquirer.
So they’ve now gotten rid of Colbert and Kimmel, 2 of the most brutally honest guys going after trump. Interesting.
Video of monologue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk
This is why they got rid of him. WTF there was nothing bad I guess making daddy Trump look bad is against the law.
free speech absolutists
And all the cocksuckers in the comment section saying “fwee speech has conseqwences uwu” deserve to be duct taped into a porta potty and set ablaze.
More hate speech absolutists
Sooo… I’m guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn’t watch it? Because I can’t put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.
I’m confident they were just looking for a reason after Colbert. Seth Meyers better use his last few weeks before he gets pinched to come up with a contingency plan, cus this is a fucking crackdown.
My guess is that the right wing propaganda machine to hide the epstein connections, doesn’t want it shown that trump takes kirk lightly and doesn’t give a shit about his death. It’s hard to keep it going if dear leader doesn’t even care.
But the trucks…
Both Taco and his cult are whiny little bitches.
his mocking of Trump’s grieving of that dude’s death was low and distasteful regardless, to say the least.
Edit (and keep downvoting me if you want):
Trump is a narcissistic psycopath who is incapbable of symapthy that’s why he is expressing his grief through emotionless shock. This is the way all psycopaths sincerely express their condolences. It does not mean you make fun of them or make fun of death of someone who is already dead.
Charlie Kirk is meeting up with god in front of all the maimed kids of Gaza which he advocated for their slaughter and genocide. He deserves that and it’s ironic how he was killed and the world is better without him.
I want to say a million thing but I can’t bring myself to make fun of his death or make fun of the grieving of his supporters or family. That is not in me regardless of how much I disagree, hate and wish harm upon these people.
Trump’s grieving
Citation needed, home slice
Trump isn’t grieving Trump didn’t know who the fuck he was. His team is using it for political reasons. In what religion would Charlie be in Heaven? Ah yes the American Christian religion which doesn’t listen to anything in the Bible.
trump is the lowest and most distasteful form of subhuman life on this entire fucking planet.
You mean lack of grieving or you didn’t watch it.
Fuck you.
(Believe this may have been sarcasm?)
July 2025 Paramount/CBS agreed to pay $16 million to trump over a 60 Minutes lawsuit, then announced The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is being cancelled.
July 2025 PBS and NPR were federally defunded in a Congressional tribute to trump.
December 2024 Disney/ABC agreed to pay $15 million to trump over a defamation lawsuit, then in September 2025 cancelled Jimmy Kimmel Live.
September 2025 New York Times, Penguin Books, several authors are now being sued by trump for $15 billion because, still, that 60 Minutes segment.
Just a reminder: No Kings
Hey do you mind if we try an alternate timeline for a few days
Or, you know, however long humanity has left?
I’ve been saying that the billionaires and oligarchs — who own the majority of the S&P500 and political class — WANT fascism for the last 2 decades. They are behind it’s political resurgence, globally; most have already publicly stated things that prove they are authoritarian sociopaths (Musk, Thiel, the Koch’s, Ellison, Zuck, etc).
This explains why Trump has never seen the invite or a prison cell, despite 100 clear as day felonies, why the Dem establishment has never done more than performative resistance, etc.
They always do. When capitalism starts to falter and the public opinion starts to turn on the system the ownership class goes right to fascism to crush the population.
I’d argue that for at least half of them, capitalism is just a stepping stone to their true goals. They didn’t opportunistically become fascist; they’ve always been that way
Fucking bitch ass move by a bitch ass corporation capitulating to a bitch ass administration.
The decision by Nexstar comes as the broadcast station is seeking FCC approval for its $6.2 billion mega deal to acquire Tegna, a deal that would make Nexstar by far the largest owner of local TV stations in the country.
The FCC would have to raise the 40 percent ownership cap in order to let the deal advance.
Quote from The Hollywood Reporter. Just like CBS with Colbert.
I came here to say exactly this.
They’re just getting started. Colbert was fired as a demand to allow the sale of CBS’ to Larry Ellison, 2nd richest man, and a vicious MAGA. With Colbert out, the decks were cleared for the sale.
CBS used to have the reputation of being the gold standard of broadcast news. Now it’s just going to be one more mouthpiece in the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
Even this framing is dishonest - he didn’t make comments about Charlie Kirk, he was mocking MAGA for rushing to weaponize his death. ABC shut down his show for a valid criticism of MAGA.
Yeah, it’s not looking good for them. Everyone is siding with trump in fear of being targeted.
This is why the fediverse matters. Kimmel or Colbert, right now they can turn to platforms like YT and will still be able to get the voice out.
But guess what. The same corporatism that control ABC control google. You live on their platforms your message is dependent on their approval.
The future is free; the future is federated.
They can’t monetize on PeerTube, so they won’t
How we monetize might need to change. Maybe less ads, more donations? Budgets will have to go down, but that’s not so bad if the leash finally comes off.
As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.
Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:
/1. news /2. askreddit /3. cringetiktoks /7. technology /9. nofilternews /10. politics /13. fauxmoi /14. facepalm /18. whitepeopletwitter /23. popculturechat
The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?
[Edit: added slashes to prevent auto-formatting from changing the numbers]
I’ll try to find the one I navigated to but they kept getting closed for being “off topic”.
Also I’d argue the FCC making a threat and ABC actually pulling the guy are 2 separate stories.
I don’t think it’s some Reddit wide cabal as much as R/Politics sucking
Spez got invited to talk to Congress about radicalism on social media. I bet that has something to do with it. Steve “Bugeyes” Huffman will not turn down an opportunity to help Trump out.

If the fediverse was a threat then it would also be a target.

The three letter news channels are not to be trusted anymore.

I’d argue you could’ve trusted them MORE before the Fairness Doctrine was murdered. Certainly still needed to apply skepticism and discernment though
I’d argue you could’ve trusted them MORE before the Fairness Doctrine was murdered
Red Scare politics would suggest they’ve always been untrustworthy. “Fairness” Doctrine only ever included two liberalized perspectives. Meet The Press wasn’t bringing on Michael Parenti and Murray Bookchin to debate David Duke and Ayn Rand.
Fascism, folks. Time to resist
But… Someone tried actually resisting and now we’re all hand wringing over it…
That’s why we all need to do it. NOW
We just found out when someone does something that all the top supposedly leftist commentators immediately capitulate and actually cry about it like a bunch of bitch-baby neoliberals
So, don’t be a commentator

Okay, I bet Charlie will be off the air for longer though.
Phew! Thank GOD We’re ONLY keeping True Americans on the Air like people who ADVOCATE FOR MURDERING POOR PEOPLE and NOT People who Quote Dead People!
There was just a mass shooting at a homeless camp
The Republic has fallen. The fascists have won.
Y’all ain’t even fight yet, what’s this loser talk about?
Laying down and giving up.
They aren’t going to buy design. 2025 wants it to be bloodless and looks like it well be.
Listen to the martial aid with intestinal fortitude!
Dear USA, fight for your rights. What’s happening now reminds me of what happened to Baseem Youssef in Egypt: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27671642
No one wants to give up their comforts. We’re all just sitting here letting this happen. No one wants to get violent or have a general strike or stop paying taxes or camp out in front of the white house or stop buying shit… We’re afraid of losing things that are going to be taken away in the future anyway.
It’s getting close.
No it isn’t. People are to comfortable and lazy.
