Hi Guest, we are working on updating the site servers and software. We're also 'forcing' everyone to read and agree to our site privacy policy and terms of service. There are no significant changes to either of these but the terms page does clarify a few things that are mostly in the legalese. You can just click the checkbox for both and continue using the site as usual! We'll update you more on the site upgrades VERY soon! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for supporting the site and being an active participant!
IMHO, I think we hear an apology from Jimmy tonight as well as some heartfelt words of sympathy for Charlie's family and (maybe) supporters.
To me, that would be the best outcome for him, regardless of any 'political angles'.
I hope this happens.

I dont remember who sang it but the adage that you dont dance on another man's grave or tug on superman's cape is sage advice for anyone...
(editing my earlier post as follows):
I think we'll see 3 things from Jimmy tonight.
1) An apology - which might include a comment "setting the record straight" on the incorrect stuff he said about MAGA and the shooter.
2) A denouncement of any form of violence in politics.
3) And some words of sympathy to Charlie's family - and maybe praise for his accomplishments.
This would be taking the high road and I would like to see him take it, myself.
We have too much negativity in our political culture right now. Anything that takes the temperature down a notch is OK by me....

Nothing to worry about. I’m sure we’ll hear (though Trump’s actions are something that they don’t approve of) that the ratings stink and/or that Biden/Obama did something similar, so it’s not really a big deal. After all, Trump’s only making threats. Where’s the proof that he’s actually done anything?there he goes being a first amendment absolutist again

One thing I'm glad to see for the first time in a long time and that's actual republicans and democrats both in office and out in society agreeing that the free speech line was crossed. It's rare you see both of them complaining about the same thing. LOL! Hope may actually exist after all!!! LOL!
He had nothing to apologize for. He made a joke about a bumbling President, and that's not something that's really unique.
The Legion Of Karens blew this up because it was all about politics.
Oh, come on, Jay Leno and David Letterman never would have stooped to this level during the Lewinsky scandal…..
which is hilarious because I always thought Trump was against the removal of statues.
JD Vance: "On the free speech conversation, I'm pretty sure Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air last night, and to the extent he's not back on the air it's because he's not funny and has terrible ratings. This is not a federal government problem ... the FCC commissioner made a joke on social media."
Lying is second nature to the Trump Administration: "... the FCC commissioner made a joke on social media."
#1 We must have watched two different clips. I thought this was about the Charlie Kirk assassination comments. Not the POTUS.
That aside......in my mind he did apologize but in his own way. Which is fine with me and I suspect most others.
I think his opening monologue was just fine and addressed what was needed
#2 People apologize for things all the time that they don't NEED to. They do so for a number of reasons. An effort to deescalate things, they just want to move on, or maybe they just want to take the high road - regardless of all the arguments for or against.
I've done it on this very forum before. (looking me over).....hmmm....didn't seem to take too much of a toll!
#3 "Legion of Karens"......ha ha good one! Amazing how offended people get sometimes!
Ratings and not being funny or not had nothing to do with Nexstar and Sinclair refusing to air Kimmel. Vance is lying again.
they are effective at breaking things and enriching themselves
