Like I said, you have no clue

You tell me then. Everyone hates Kimmel. This was their perfect chance to get rid of him. Why are they bringing him back after days of intense negotiations over the content of his next monologue?

It's almost like someone is trying to suppress politically incorrect speech.

What does this mean in the general scheme of things?

More than likely somebody is getting paid. And people will have the opportunity to lose their 401k retirement savings in Crypto instead of stocks and bonds.

This is a HUGE conflict of interest due to the stake his family has taken in cryptocurrency. But I doubt if anyone will even care.

No earnings. No dividends. Just the hope that the next guy will pay more for his crypto than you paid for yours.

Wouldnt this be up to the "custodians" like Vanguard to decide if they want to put some if any funds in crypto?

Some of them already have. I know Fidelity has.

Check out #5 on this list. Conflict of interest or not?

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-companies-who-own-the-most-bitcoin-in-2025

You want conflict of interest? Look up the Billions of investments into World Liberty Financial crypto by UAE Royal family interests. WLF is owned by Trump and Witkoff. If it were Biden this board would be on fire.

Biden did okay for himself. He slept he way into $10 million bucks. And Hunter probably criminally raked in twice that.

Agree. Trump is arguably doing it at a factor 10 times higher. It was wrong for the "big guy". It's still wrong now.

Not sure if factor counts. Trump simply paid attention and took advantage of an emerging market. Absolutely brilliant! Biden collected checks and napped
You can't be this obtuse.

Sinclair Broadcast Group announced Monday that it would preempt ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when it returns Tuesday night.

"Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show's potential return," the company's statement read.

Sinclair, which operates 30 ABC affiliates, previously joined Nexstar, another owner of ABC affiliates, in preempting Kimmel's show last week after he made controversial comments regarding Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin.

he's just doing what lefties do....making stuff up to justify feeling the way he feels. Carr took no action to do anything regarding Kimmel's comments. Here merely observed, verbally, on a podcast that the affiliates had the ability to do what they ultimately did - remove inflammatory programming that offended viewers.

Look carefully at the facts here:
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/18/media/brendan-carr-jimmy-kimmel-fcc-first-amendment

I wonder what Porter said that time Twitter and others kicked a sitting US President off their platforms during the homestretch of an election over inflammatory speech

He threatened their broadcasting license. Trump has since threatened the broadcasting licenses of any network that talks bad about him.

No, he did not use his power as a regulator to force anyone to do anything about Kimmel's comments. Have you seen anything other than his own generic comment on the podcast as a source? Even any off-the-record comments from officials from ABC or affiliates? Why is that? Because the affiliates dumped the show due to Kimmel's not just unprofessional but incredibly untimely comments, which in turn forced ABC's hand to dump an already unprofitable show in long term ratings decline.

To the extent that fear of what regulators might do had an impact in decisions of either affiliates or network....tell me: do you normally drive the speed limit, or at least close enough to it to avoid getting a ticket? Do you pump your brakes when you see a Highway Patrol car? Ever had a HiPo look at you and flash his lights for a second as he passed you? Did you slow down?

NYT:

On Wednesday Brendan Carr, the chairman of the F.C.C., publicly condemned Mr. Kimmel's remarks as "truly sick" and hinted at possible regulatory action against ABC. Speaking on a right-wing podcast, he warned that the network could "do this the easy or hard way," signaling serious consequences if it didn't respond.

Thank you for correcting the record. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entitles involved in this. He spoke obliquely, generically, and conditionally. At worst, they motivated network and affiliates to take remedial action that were going to happen anyway - the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.

This would be laughable if it weren't so chilling. You're implying that he's an actual criminal for telling a stupid joke.

Kimmel told no joke. He knowingly, willfully, and recklessly lied on federally licensed airwaves. There are laws against that. There should be consequences when such occurs. And it is entirely appropriate for federal regulators to point out such to licensees, in attempt to get them to voluntarily do the right thing rather than escalate up to direct enforcement action.

And, yes, what Kimmel did occurred in a crowded theater with smoke in the air amid a frightened audience. His comments could easily have incited any of several unfortunate scenarios......

Actual censorship activities under the Biden Adm vs veiled threats from Trump's FCC.

If they aren't already on the books, I really think we need laws to prevent what the Biden Adm did here. If current laws were broken, then prosecutions need to happen (not that I'm holding my breath).

Ok I will play Assman! First and foremost, Kimmel or Kirk said NOTHING to incite violence. what is sooooooo reprehensible is that Kirk's widow, stood up there and forgave which. was totally amazing and walking the walk. She seems like an amazing lady. Right after, Toadman stood up there right after she forgave and he. said he wasn't forgiving anyone, in fact he said "I hate my opponents". Hate....

Just a quick AI search is below, which according to some is subject to interpretation:

Donald Trump has a long history of making comments that critics and political analysts interpret as encouraging or implying violence against opponents and protesters. These remarks span from his 2016 presidential campaign through his presidency and the 2024 presidential campaign.

Examples from 2016
Encouraging rally violence: At a February 2016 rally in Iowa, Trump told his supporters, "If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, okay? Just knock the hellI promise you, I will pay for the legal fees".

"Second Amendment people" comment: In August 2016, Trump made a comment about his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Speaking about gun control, he said, "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment peoplemaybe there is. I don't know". Critics widely interpreted this as suggesting violence against Clinton.

"Punch him in the face": In February 2016, regarding a protester at a Las Vegas rally, Trump said, "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you".

Examples from his presidency
"When the looting starts, the shooting starts": In May 2020, during protests in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd, Trump tweeted that he would send the military and that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts". Twitter flagged the tweet for "glorifying violence".

"Don't be too nice" to suspects: In a July 2017 speech to law enforcement officers, Trump appeared to encourage police to use more force when handling suspects, saying, "Please don't be too nice".

Praising body-slamming: In 2018, Trump praised then-Montana Representative Greg Gianforte for physically assaulting a reporter. Trump said, "any guy who can do a body slam… he's my guy".

Examples from 20242025
Praising J6 rioters and pardons: Throughout 2023 and 2024, Trump held rallies where he praised those convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and promised to pardon them if elected.

"Beat the hell out of them": In September 2025, following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump told reporters that "we have radical left lunatics out there, and we just have to beat the hell out of them." He also dismissed the idea that extremists exist on both sides, claiming "the radicals on the left are the problem".

Targeting former General Mark Milley: In an online post in October 2023, Trump suggested that Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, deserved the death penalty for having "had secret communications with his Chinese counterpart" during Trump's presidency.

That's probably why yet another massive syndicator just dropped Kimmel from their lineup. Jimmy is going to be doing another one of his hate shows for the people in the studio audience. Disney/ABC will have to decide how much longer they will support his charade

I've heard that. I moved over to Motrim earlier this year to help with the arthritis. Tylenol did nothing for me. Motrim helps a bit

Donald Trump has a long history of making comments that critics and political analysts interpret as encouraging or implying violence against opponents and protesters. These remarks span from his 2016 presidential campaign through his presidency and the 2024 presidential campaign.

Examples from 2016
Encouraging rally violence: At a February 2016 rally in Iowa, Trump told his supporters, "If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, okay? Just knock the hellI promise you, I will pay for the legal fees".

"Second Amendment people" comment: In August 2016, Trump made a comment about his opponent, Hillary Clinton. Speaking about gun control, he said, "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment peoplemaybe there is. I don't know". Critics widely interpreted this as suggesting violence against Clinton.

"Punch him in the face": In February 2016, regarding a protester at a Las Vegas rally, Trump said, "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you".

Examples from his presidency
"When the looting starts, the shooting starts": In May 2020, during protests in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd, Trump tweeted that he would send the military and that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts". Twitter flagged the tweet for "glorifying violence".

"Don't be too nice" to suspects: In a July 2017 speech to law enforcement officers, Trump appeared to encourage police to use more force when handling suspects, saying, "Please don't be too nice".

Praising body-slamming: In 2018, Trump praised then-Montana Representative Greg Gianforte for physically assaulting a reporter. Trump said, "any guy who can do a body slam… he's my guy".

Examples from 20242025
Praising J6 rioters and pardons: Throughout 2023 and 2024, Trump held rallies where he praised those convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and promised to pardon them if elected.

"Beat the hell out of them": In September 2025, following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump told reporters that "we have radical left lunatics out there, and we just have to beat the hell out of them." He also dismissed the idea that extremists exist on both sides, claiming "the radicals on the left are the problem".

Targeting former General Mark Milley: In an online post in October 2023, Trump suggested that Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, deserved the death penalty for having "had secret communications with his Chinese counterpart" during Trump's presidency.


And how many folks did he incite to murder?

Motrin is ibuprofen. It's the exact same product as Advil just by a different manufacturer. Tylenol is acetaminophen. Aleve is naproxen.

None cause autism.

I believe I answered your earlier question, which you apparently don't dispute.

As for this question, even I don't think he is so messed up to openly admit what he may well think about those he hates and openly seeks retribution.
We have not done well electing our leaders.
Worse, we continue to not hold them accountable.
China, Russia, North Korea and a few others are just biding their time, and in the meanwhile most of us sit and gripe.

Did you watch Trump at the UN today? He is full of piss and vinegar unlike the liberals in the last few decades.
