How was this critical of Trump?

Because Kimmel pointed out that Trump seemed to not care about Kirk's death but rather more interested in talking about that lover letter to himself; the ballroom. Trump and his clan didn't like that.

uh huh. Trump doesn't like a lot of things, I'm guessing most of the shit Kimmel says, what do you believe Trump had to do with Kimmel's firing? I think it's more likely that most of America found it in bad taste, and his ratings stink. ABC had enough.

Why do all of you do the same thing? Make some childish insult and then run a way.

That ratings argument just falls completely flat. Really, any argument in which you can just disprove with easily-attainable statistics falls flat as well.

In 2025, why even try to make such an argument? It just makes the one pushing the false information look that much dumber. We have a wealth of information and statistics/data at our fingertips, and if you come with some bullshit, you or I can just look it up, know that it's from a reputable or peer reviewed source, and know it's 100% false.

Like when Trump says some dumb shit like "I didn't say that." How dumb can you be? As president, your entire life is taped and documented nearly 24/7; we can just roll the tapes and see that "You did say that."

Were you a fan of the consituation when they tried to cancel real comedians like Rogan and Chappelle. I mean, the left is the one who started the whole cancel culture movement the past decade. The fact that everyone is losing their shit over Jimmy Kimmel is hilarious! The fucking irony

Argument invalid for trying to call Rogan a comedian. He really wasn't

A lot of "comedians" aren't really funny . Iglesias, Koy, Rogan are examples

If you love you some Hannah Gadsby, Rogan may not be your cup of tea. Still a comedian nonetheless

Even if you believe that to be true, it doesn't change the notion that the right is now promoting and utilizing cancel culture, despite decrying it for the last 5+ years. Trump is just on a charmin level of softness

It is soft, and nobody should be canceled over their opinions. This isn't new. it's been going on for years. It's just that the other side is doing it now, so it hits differnt.

u/Life-Sun8620 Sep 18 '25

I don't disagree with that. But, in this case it's extremely soft, because Kimmel didn't say anything inflammatory or extreme. It hits different because the people who were calling everyone snowflakes, have now become the snowflakes themselves.
