Idk mine caught 162 from this article. Anyways if Trump was up for reelection that might mean something. I suppose it's a "this shows the democrats are going to win big time in the mid-terms" hopes thing. Hope those candidates are more appealing than Biden and Harris were.

Not to that degree.
Everybody was making similar jokes about Anna Nicole Smith being an 'expectant widow' of her 60+years senior husband. I didn't see the FCC coming after the networks.

Name the person, the network and the joke and you might have something there. However if it has nothing to do with what Kimmel said, it doesn't matter. We'll just have to trust the judgment of the liberal federal judiciary to slap an injunction on it if a conspiracy is taking place.

Joan Rivers' joke isn't quite printable here, but since you already have your excuses laid out, I don't see why I should bother.

Hyperbole much?
No I don’t think a comedian should be fired for joking about the First Lady and her much older husband.

It’s offensive that she would demand someone lose their job over jokes about public figures. That she and the rest of you misinterpreted the joke as being about assassination is not Kimmel’s fault.

What one sees is a bullet grazing his ear.
Nope. He grabbed or slapped his ear. Then a trickle of bright red liquid. The the President, with an American flag conveniently lowered so he could raise his fist and shout “fight”. Followed by looking for his shoes.
It appears his actions indicated he knew the the danger had passed. How did he know this?
And the Miracle Ear healing …..
No release of medical records or evidence to support the actual wound. …

The problem with the Trumps demanding the firing of Kimmel is because Donald has both the power and the instincts to make such things happen. The license renewal demand for abc stations only prove it.
It is obvious all the departments he has populated do his bidding. He punishes his perceived enemies either financially and or legaly or publicly. He is a menace to free speech and the USA in general.

It wasn't much of a wound. Probably the equivalent of a scratch. But if it had been an inch to the left it would've been a full on head shot. The secret service agents called all clear after the shooter had been neutralized. It's all been fully documented. The conspiracy theory stuff is hilarious.

Not for that. Inasmuch as she was fired from her show before Smith even met her future husband.
But she did get fired from her show. It does happen. Kimmel would be far from the first. So what would she have been fired from over whatever joke you're talking about?

TRUMP LIFE THREATENING QUOTES
***********************************************


American Protesters exercising their 1st Amendment Rights: “Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?”

- Donald Trump" June 2020, according to former Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s memoir, which described Trump having said this about protesters outside the White House (Trump has denied saying this)

Liz Cheney and Gunfire: "Let's put her (Liz Cheney) with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
- Donald Trump = Liz Cheney was an elected sitting-member in the House of Representatives

Washington Protesters:: "They should be charged with treason! They should be executed!’
- - Donald Trump MAY 2020 - reaction to the leak that he and his family had been moved to the underground White House bunker as protesters over the George Floyd killing gathered outside the White House.

General Mark Milley: “An act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.”
- Donald Trump 2023: Trump comment on Truth Social that Secretary of Defense Mark Milley should have been executed for a phone call reassuring Chinese officials after the January 6 riot that had been cleared by his own staff.

Democratic LawmakersL "LOCK THEM (Democratic lawmakers) UP???" HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!"
- Donald Trump 2025

Iranian population: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,"
- Donald Trump, April 2025

Americans: “If I don’t get elected … it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”
- Donald Trump, Campaign Speech (2024)


President Biden “Joe Biden shouldn’t just be impeached, he should be handcuffed and hauled out of the White House for his crimes.”
- Donald Trump

***********************************************************

The real question is whom hasn't Trump threatened - which includes numerous death threats?

Some of Trump's threats are quite explicit such as shooting at Liz Cheney, a sitting member in the House, with a 9 barrel rifle with guns trained on her face!

A Reuters analysis in November 2025 counted that in the first 10 months of his second term, Trump had already targeted over 470 people, organizations, and institutions for retribution. - that an average of 47 threats per month, approximately 1.5 threats daily!

Given Trump's long history of issuing threats in and out of the White House, its the height of hypocrisy for Mekania Trump to demand that Kimmel be taken off television!

Where is her "self-righteous indignation" when her husband targets individuals, organizations and institutions for retribution, virtually on a daily basis!
