This was a business decision. If one of your employees is saying or doing things that may hurt your business in one or more ways, you have every right to fire them. Jimmy Kimmel is a POS leftist elite, but he wasn’t fired directly for that, he was fired for being a threat to the success of the business based on his unacceptable rhetoric to the majority (and his ratings were declining). This is in no way a 1A violation, but rather we’re finally seeing consequences for people’s words/actions. He and everyone else is welcome to say horrible things and be a total POS without fear of gov persecution, but they will also be free to reap the consequences of those words dealt out by employers, individuals, etc.

kimmel is a fool and what he said in the moment was entirely inappropriate.

it's fine that he's back on air. i wasn't a fan of what the FCC guy said...government has NO place censoring speech. Just because the Biden Admin massively censored free speech during COVID doesn't make it right. 

kimmel's ratings are in the trash...dude averages 160,000 views per night. he's shouting into the wind and no one cares.

Not surprised kimmel is back, you know, the facists running the country that are taking plays out of the nazi playbook to quash such brave truth tellers.

Too bad. Though Disney has a long track record of losing billions over stupid decision making. Guess they just want to keep losing. No sweat off my back.

Wait…I thought the left said that Trump is who caused Kimmel off the air because Trump is against free speech?  So did Trump change his mind, or…?

Could it possibly be that Disney executives are spineless pussies who cave to pressure from all sides?

Bill Maher had a great commentary on that this past weekend, one consolation for Jimmy that he said was “well, at least you won’t have to pretend to like Disneyland anymore!”

No offense, but even Ms. Cleo knew you were going to post something about this.

Key quote in case you didn't read the whole thing "...because [Homan] had not held an official government position at the time of the meeting with undercover agents..."

It's difficult to get bribed if you have no governmental authority, one of the key elements of the crime.

Also has anonymous sourcing, so excuse me if I'd like to see a bit more before I get concerned.  

 

And just like a Jerry Springer episode, I 100% expected someone here to fight to defend Homan.

Ret 4 star Burke gets 6 years for bribery (see commanders dropping like flies), yet Homan walks out of a restaurant with a paper sack holding 50K in cash and gets to keep his job, etc.  S/ That makes perfect sense. /S

Let me ask a buddy that does consulting.  Stand by....... Yep, he said that if a potential client shows up with a sack of cash, as ADM Akbar says, "Its a trap!"

While Homan gets off with a technicality (more like cronyism), he was going to be in a high govt position when he took the bribe and thus his influence was bought. 

Yo, can we get some chemo up in here?  Got some Homan syndrome growing.
