Those who set fire to Teslas, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday, will “face the full force of the law” for taking out their ire against Elon Musk and Donald Trump by destroying the vehicles of Americans who may not support either man. “The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Bondi said. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
Does that go for those who have publicly incited and approved of this domestic terrorism? In other words, should Jimmy Kimmel be behind bars?
To be sure, many people think Kimmel deserves a good long stretch in the slammer for being so painfully unfunny. He is just another one of the legions of left-wing ideologues masquerading as comedians, and his late-night show is bearable only for as long as it takes to switch to another channel. As if all that wasn’t enough, however, now Kimmel has started constructing a convincing case for being charged as a domestic terrorist.
Kimmel said: “Our co-president Elon Musk” — haha, Jimmy, wow, that’s such an original take, how did you ever think of that? — “sent a Space-X vehicle to bring the astronauts back, and when they landed, he fired them immediately upon landing.” Wow, this guy is a nonstop laugh riot! See? He’s saying, like, DOGE is bad! The man is a comedic genius!
Kimmel plowed on: “Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so,” he announced, and his audience of knee-jerk leftist lemmings (who else would go see Jimmy Kimmel’s show live?) started cheering. “People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please, don’t vandalize, don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.” Then Kimmel stopped and gave the camera an ironic look, making it abundantly clear that what he really wanted was for his mindless leftist followers to go out and vandalize Teslas.
Elon Musk noted the obvious about Kimmel: “He’s such an unfunny jerk.” Kimmel then doubled down, claiming that Musk was “trying to drum up sympathy for himself” and proceeding to justify the attacks on Teslas: “When you pull out a chainsaw to celebrate firing thousands of people, they get mad.”
Kimmel also played — you guessed it! — the “Jan. 6 insurrection” card: “I mentioned last night multiple Teslas were burned at a Tesla facility in Las Vegas. Authorities are now investigating which Teslas were set on fire — and which set themselves on fire.” Haw haw! “And while no one should be setting anything on fire, ever, people are mad at Elon Musk for randomly and gleefully putting thousands of Americans out of work, including veterans. But the MAGA gang – which has been very against any kind of violent protest since January 7, was it? 2021? That’s when they started being against it, they are highly upset.”
On Thursday, CNN’s Scott Jennings explained what Kimmel was doing here: “The message from the American Left to conservatives is unmistakable: silence yourselves, or we will do it for you. This isn’t comedy; these are marching orders.”
Disney owns ABC, and so Sean Hannity asked the man at the top, Disney top dog Bob Iger, what he thought of what the man Hannity called an “unhinged loser” was calling for: “Bob, are you OK with this seeming glorification of violence? Is this the inclusive woke, DEI, the ABC Disney brand? You’re the CEO of Disney. Are you proud of this?”
The answer to at least one of Hannity’s questions was obvious: yes, this is indeed the inclusive woke, DEI, ABC Disney brand. The left is so sure of its correctness, so sure that it is “on the side of history,” and so bereft of any genuine moral compass, that it will happily engage in violence against those whom it fears and hates, and not have the slightest hesitation or regret about doing so. This is clear from all the far-left politicians who have winked at leftist violence, or even called for it, including not just more “unhinged losers” such as Maxine Waters, but even respected party leaders such as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. And there are so many others, including Kweisi Mfume and Hakeem Jeffries.
“Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out,” said David Horowitz, and he was right. In another time and place, Jimmy Kimmel would be knocking down the door of a dissident at 4 a.m. and trundling him off to the gulag, no doubt softening the shock of it all on the way there by cracking a few jokes to show that underneath it all, he was just a regular guy. But he isn’t. A case can be made that he is a domestic terrorist. In Trump’s America, the elites don’t have special privileges. He should be subject to arrest and investigation like any other suspected domestic terrorist.
The best thing we can do is to Boycott his show Period no one can force us to watch his Program
We already are.
I quit watching late night when Carson retired and comedy became propaganda instead of humor. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but sports and comedy used to be sought after for the stress relief it was meant to be. The 1984 overlords sure have f&cked that up.
That now classical opening line AND NOW HEEEEEERRREES JOHNNY
Kimmel: “no one should be setting anything on fire, ever”
Spencer:: “HURRDURR HE’S GIVING MARCHING ORDERS TO THE ARSONISTS! ARREST HIM!”
Spencer is just an enemy of free speech. People are allowed to make fun of Elon’s terrible slave labor-made cars, even if that upets your little feelings.
I’m in the very odd position of down voting “myself”.
In a way I agree with your comment. It used to be the law applied to actions. I could say “I should kill you” all day long, but until my ACTIONs (showing up at your door with a sidearm, or actually assaulting you) came to fruition, I could say what I wanted (not including slander, etc.).
Not sure where we went off the rails, but what a train wreck this has become.
[preparing for the down votes] as is your right. Of course, in ancient Rome the thumbs down indicated a vote for death, so …..
Kimmel was never funny on “The Man’s Show”! Mr. Corella carried that show while Jimmy the Buffoon did his schtick! People tell me I should have been a comedian – I make everyone laugh – sort of like a PRE-Sienfeld observationist! I used to watch “The Man’s Show” and immediately OBSERVED the jerkiness of Kimmel. I find it rather HYPOCRITICAL of the left for never cancelling him over his repeated “black face” and “negro dialect”! I could have sworn either of those were PERMANENT LIFETIME SOCIAL BANISHMENT offenses, but then DEMOcrat!!
There are more laughs generated in this article regarding Mr. Spencer’s comments about Little Jimmy Kimmel’s manifestly unfunny persona than Lil’ Jim has produced during the entirety of his stint as a late night TV host. Lock him up and force him to watch non-stop clips of Amy Schumer and Cathy Griffith doing stand up comedy. Of course some might consider this cruel and unusual punishment!
“In another time and place, Jimmy Kimmel would be knocking down the door of a dissident at 4 a.m. and trundling him off to the gulag, no doubt softening the shock of it all on the way there by cracking a few jokes to show that underneath it all, he was just a regular guy.”
I seriously doubt it. Like most people in the progressive elites, he would bark the orders to willing toadies to fulfill his request of arresting conservatives, just like he is doing today. He has the safety of a microphone to distance himself from being directly involved. Politicians call it plausible deniability. I call it chicken shit!
I despise the vicious tyrannical nihilist left, nihilist in that they reject all facts which clash with their ideology and all human values, integrity, competence, excellence, etc. as such. They do dramatic damage everywhere. The woke lefties running Disney are destroying that great company while the same kind of creatures running California are destroying what was a great state. But regarding Kimmel, I say let him do his voluntarily brain dead rant based on the principle of always protect freedom of speech. (I can’t boycott Kimmel because I never watched or would watch him in the first place. )
Kimmel doesn’t know (or doesn’t want Americans to know) that Musk’s assignment to uncover wasteful expenditure includes making recommendations for the dismissal of only redundant government employees and those with no discernable function. Leftists, unable to articulate their objections, resort to arson.
