I'm not pleased that she was on, but I'm not boycotting Jimmy Kimmel after all he's done. Just let him know we're unhappy, hell get the message.

    After all he’s done? He hasn’t done shit but be a crass entertainer to the masses. He started as a co-host of the toxic The Man Show and of Win Ben Stein’s Money. Getting paid an eight-figure salary to deliver zingers about Trump is no great sacrifice.

    If he is so useless, why is MAGA fighting so hard to silence him, and his company?

    19 times out of 20, Kimmel is one of the few on TV that is serving up harsh criticism on a DAILY basis. You would eliminate one of the few voices we have on TV because he spent 7 minutes promoting a film that everyone will forget about in 24 hours?

    That's just a stupid, self-inflicted injury.

    Because he is a good person, who cares about the right things, and despises MAGA. I don't watch his interviews, I have no interest in vapid Hollywood types, but I like his monologues, and I especially love the fact that MAGA HATES him with a white hot passion. So I support him.

    I can’t really shit all over you because before learning of his whitewashing of genocidal Israel Ioved Conan OBrien. But since I gave him up I can’t stand the talk show format anymore it’s like the smarmiest shit ever.

    This interview, like Conan’s meeting with Netanyahu, has proved Jimmy is also probably not a good person just because he doesn’t like Trump and says stuff about it. I do that all the time and I’m just some lowlife POS communist that works in a kitchen
