He'll probably cry and blame right wing cancel culture, in a way that kids fight when one says "that's MY toy, you're not allowed to play with it!!". I love that the right has decided that two can play at that game.

Why dont you try being funny Kimmel? People tune in to laugh, not be lectured to. He should also be reminded it wasn't that long ago he was what he preaches against, being a male chauvinist on "The Man Show" with Adam Corrola.

The reaction from the left the last time was insane. They blamed Trump, they blamed MAGA, they blamed everything but Kimmel's low ratings.

I suppose in a way blaming MAGA was correct. If all of the Trump supporters and any other conservative or libertarians who may not support Trump had watched Jimmy Kimmel's and Stephen Colbert's shows they wouldn't get cancelled.

But way would anyone want to watch a show where the host just belittled and made fun of you and the person you voted for nonstop? Who were the network idiots that decided to build a show that was only for liberals?

Even early on SNL was slightly biased to the left and it stayed that way up until the mid 2000's. About the same time that The Daily Show on Comedy Central stopped making fun of Democrats and only focused on Republicans. That's probably about the same time that SNL's Weekend Update segment went ultra leftist. And the rest of SNL soon followed.

I think there must have been some order given when Trump was elected that all networks focus on trashing Trump.

I think the only one who figured out that alienating his audience was a bad idea was Jimmy Fallon. After that order was given he began to push back on it and focus more on just trying to be funny. He still is on the left but conservatives can watch his show without being insulted for the entirety of the show.

I still don't watch Fallon because I mostly watch streaming shows and not network TV. Bur even most of those shows they shove liberalism down your throat. Some of those shows are just unwatchable.

There's some new Star Trek series that just came out and it is immediately crashing. I haven't seen it but I've heard it's woke just like Star Trek: Discovery was. Only 1,300 people watched the first episode with it's first airing. That's bad. They're just not learning their lessons. Go woke, go broke.

They seem to be into force feeding, "you'll learn to love your shit sandwich, if that's all you're ever given to eat, one day you'll be telling yourself it's actually not that bad".

That's their stupid mindset. That's also why Angel Studios is doing so well now. Their Christian oriented but not all of their shows are Christian themed. They're just trying to make TV shows and movies that would appeal to everyone.

Libs probably won't ever watch anything Angel Studios produces because their extremely afraid to hear someone say Jesus' name with respect instead of it being used as a swear word. That's like sunlight to a vampire for them.

I find it very telling that all belief systems are supposed to be accepted and respected in America except for Christianity and Jesus who are to be mocked and ridiculed which tells me a lot about who should be worshipped, because when he comes back it's not going to be a nice guy and so the left should be afraid, very afraid.

Indeed. Jesus version of "climate change" will be a catastrophe of biblical proportions and that will be the least of the unbelievers worries.

That is true and the cause of that climate change is not capitalism or cow farts or SUV's or everything else that the left blames on climate change. That climate change that is mentioned in the Bible is based on sin and people rejecting God.

The calamity that was supposed to happen was supposed to happen before that generation came to pass. It came to pass almost 2,000 years ago.

Rome has been long gone. Judea has never been liberated or revived by any Messiah, other than bar Kokhba in Jerusalem for a short while during that revolt before the final end of Judea.

You're exactly right. Also in 99.99999% of all TV shows and movies, if there is a Christian in the show, he's always the bad guy. The other common trope they put in movies these days are two guys talking in a stressful situation. One guy asks the other if he believes in God. The other one says No. And the first guy says, Ne neither. Sometimes they'll make some negative comment about God or people who believe in God.

That is not indicative of reality because the majority of people in this country and in the world believe in some type of supreme being and most believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, meaning they are either Jewish or Christian.

In 99.99999% of all TV shows and movies, if there is a Christian in the show, then they're in the majority because it is assumed that all characters are Christians, Christianity being the basic default religion.

The very few exceptions that are not Anglo Christians stick out and are otherwise pointed out if need be. Those exceptions are called "tokens." For obvious reasons.

I've never seen a single TV show where two people were in a stressful situation and they both said they don't believe in god πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I take it you weren't around in the 90s? The Bill Clinton '90s? Be thankful, the only good thing about that error (yes, error) was the comedy centered around Bill (that's Hillary's husband for the members of the viewing audience who do not know). Although it was pretty funny, so it almost made the politics of the decade worthwhile.

My nightly dose of Conan O'Brien thoroughly trashed the heck out of Clinton. Thursdays were the highlight of my week, particularly fabulous, with 'via satellite' interviews with the President. Fake of course, they had an actual picture of Bill superimposed on a pair of lips of someone else that moved, doing the talking.

You need to vary your sources. Your constant sticking into the Right side of this bogus Left/Right paradigm is a bit restricting. Starfleet Academy had a lot more viewers than that, and a majority of them were trashing it not because it was 'woke' (yeah I did see that article, I didn't bother reading it though), but because, first off, like the rest of the Paramount+ Star Treks, it sucks, and in this case it's like a high school kiddy drama, or like somebody put it and now I wish I had copied the whole quote to get the person's name to give him credit, "CW level interpersonal fluff drama drivel." I read an article the other day that said something to that effect as well.

I've heard previous Paramount+ Star Trek shows described as "Star Trek and name only," and besides that the plethora of them is doing wonders to wear their appeal out. Just what they did with Klingons and discovery was enough for them to not even bring them up again till Academy. They went from one extreme to another, and this one just totally cringe.

I didn't watch it, I don't watch any of these as I don't have Paramount+ nor do I intend to.

Another factor in dropping viewership is a lot of people canceling their subscriptions after what CBS did to Colbert..

Did you watch Starfleet Academy? It was pretty good, a lot better than I thought it would be. I wasn't one of the 1,300 who watched it when it was first available. I think too many people got burned by how lame Star Trek: Discovery was. Many of the same people that were in Discovery are in Starfleet Academy so I can see why they were concerned.

I do have Paramount+ and there is a Star Trek that is almost as good as the original and Next Generation. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is good most of the time. This Star Trek is a prequel to the original series. Captain Pike is the captain of the Enterprise. They introduced James Kirk as one of the characters later into the series but he is not in any leadership position. Spock is the first officer under Captain Pike. Spock is played by the grandson of the actor Gregory Peck who got famous in the 1940's or 50's.

It was not uncommon for comedians to make fun of Democrats and Republicans (mostly) equally. They still were more biased against the right but it was cool when they made fun of Democrats.

Then when John Kerry ran for president the word went out to stop making fun of Democrats. John Kerry was comedic gold. He was such a dufus that comedians could have made fun of him for years and not run out of material. That is about the time comedy died. If there was any kind of comedy it either had to lampoon Republicans or it had to be a black comedy. I don't mean a comedy about black people. Black comedies are dull and someone usually gets hurt or killed to be funny. I think they are comedies that people suffering from depression must like because they are depressing.

The ONLY one who was ever allowed to make fun of Democrats was Tim Allen. And ABC even threw his Last Man Standing show off the air because they had to control the narrative. Fox picked it up until it's popularity began to diminish. Now Disney owns Fox as well as ABC. And Disney stopped being about the family (all families) and begin to ONLY be about woke.

Colbert's problem was that his show was only for Democrats. If you cater so vocally to half the country, soon none of the country will watch the show. In addition, he's just not funny. He was marginally funny on Comedy Central but he wasn't so one sided.

Funny how I keep seeing that 20-30% number, about 70% of Americans support mass deportation, about 70% agree with removing trans from girls sports, about 70% support Trumps actions on Venezuala, and yet we keep hearing how a "majority" of Americans are anti-ICE, anti-Trump, anti-MAGA.

The only reason that 30% keeps being presented as "a majority of Americans" is the biased reporting of presstitutes who deserve their place as lower than IRS agents on the list of most hated professions in America.

Good points, the "official" numbers on any subject are usually faked. The 12 million illegals in the US is another example of a lie told long enough that people will believe it. The number of protestors in the streets when compared to the population of the city is probably well below 1%, more so since some are brought in and paid to be there. The anti-ICE group numbers is very low.

They've become larger, but it cracked me up to hear on the first day of the New York anti-ICE protests the numbers "swelled" to around 80, which is .001% of New York cities population, the largest I heard of was 2000 which itself is only .025%, a whole 25 thousandths, whewwww, thats what I call a majority opinion!!

I get a kick out of the fake media spin, 1000 protests across the USA was one report that I saw. The closest city to be had one car, one sign and about 2 dozen people driving around them in pickups heckling them.
