Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air.
It took only a few days for the media to adjust itself to the reign of terror brought about by the Orange Turd. One would assume that the first amendment prevails here, but one would be sadly mistaken. One would assume that Disney, the parent company of ABC, would have been motivated by principle to re-instate their late-night comedy host. But NOOOOO!
What prevailed here was that the action to suspend Kimmel for making rather mundane commentary around the death of Charlie Kirk, provoked a backlash bordering on a national boycott of all things Disney. Hell, even my uncle canceled his Disney Plus subscription. Reservations at Disney amusement parks, already in the tank thanks to the ill treatment of foreign tourists by this wretched administration, suffered yet another beating.
The awful truth is that neither comedy, decency nor the first amendment prevailed here. What motivated the corporate interests to reinstate Kimmel was a loss of some 14 billion dollars in business due to the ensuing Disney boycott. The people had spoken in the only currency now recognized by this fascist state.
So let us raise a glass to free speech such as it is, or what is left of it; restricted as it is withing the limits of hard, cold, cash.
We shall see how long before our erstwhile Caesar breaks the bonds of the marketplace.
Impeach and Imprison
