CNN’s Jake Tapper says journalists and comedians like Jimmy Kimmel are not the ones hurling incendiary rhetoric and are not irresponsible for the rise of political violence...
“It is a big problem of calls for violence and dehumanization, and it’s getting worse. But it is not a problem to be wielded like a cudgel to try to stop journalism or jokes. Journalism and jokes are not calls for violence, calls for violence are calls for violence, and far too many Americans in positions of power and influence are too blasé and too glib about those who make them.”
💥NEW: Megyn Kelly *EXCORIATES* Jimmy Kimmel💥
"That clearly was NOT a joke about age difference. It was an ASSASSINATION joke ... He suggested Melania Trump wants her husband DEAD!"
"He's LYING ... He's desperate. He's irrelevant ... What the f*ck, ABC!?"
@CinemaTweets1 This is less of a case of Hackman playing second fiddle to AAs. Smith and Washington were playing roles that traditionally would have gone to white actors. Good scripts, good directors and box office potential.
On two occasions, Gene Hackman played second fiddle to a young African-American, rising star that would eventually win the Oscar for Best Actor. First, in Crimson Tide with Denzel Washington. Second, here with Will Smith in Enemy of the State. Hackman knew talent when he saw it.
@spreadlove2024@Onkel_Halbam@EdKrassen I’m probably twice your age. And in my entire life I have never known 86 to mean assassinate someone. In the old movies it meant to bounce (get rid of) someone from the premises.
Stop pretending it’s more.
@Kevin608711@BlueFeverHQ@TMZ Simple question:
Are you a moron?
Calling for the 25th amendment required proof the president is incompetent. That would require more than just words.
Stop being stupid. And stop wasting our time.
@thisis_SM@BlueFeverHQ@TMZ Nope for what he says
Look at the latest call for the 25th amendment. He didn’t blow Iran off the face of the earth but he threatened Iran with it.
Jimmy Kimmel is firing back at President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after they called on him to be fired over a controversial joke. 💥 tmz.me/I1N6uGv

Comey’s second indictment is in connection with this photo, which he claims he took in North Carolina. Hopefully that is also the jurisdiction where the case was brought, because if so, it will be a far less favorable setting for him than in D.C.
@spreadlove2024@Onkel_Halbam@EdKrassen He literally wrote that it meant eliminating him from office via the 25th amendment. That is the exact opposite of a violent threat.
I’m sure these images hit different now. Black communities have been warning about this for years. Non-violent people being attacked and murdered by law enforcement. Unjustly.
Trayvon Martin. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Atatiana Jefferson. Ahmaud Arbery. Keith Porter. Silverio Villegas González . Alex Pretti. Renee Good. And so many others. Whether they were holding Skittles, a phone, playing a video game, peacefully protesting for your rights, or just going for a walk in their neighborhood, they were unjustifiably killed while posing no violent threat to law enforcement.
What we’ve been fighting against for decades is now happening across all communities. It’s bigger than us now. When we said reform the system, we were protecting everyone from unchecked power and zero accountability.
Maybe now people will understand why we’ve been demanding change. This fight was never just about Black lives. It was always about justice for all.
We demand accountability. We demand change. For all of us. Rest in power to every life lost.
questions for Republican senators:
killing desperately-poor kids in Africa by cutting lifesaving USAID programs wasn't too much for you?
slaughtering helpless men clinging to boat wreckage in the ocean wasn't too much?
how about ICE agents murdering a woman in her car?
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie amplified the arts, celebrated the arts, stood up for the arts and artists.
It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not.
Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport, rename the Lincoln Memorial, the Trump Lincoln Memorial. The Trump Jefferson Memorial. The Trump Smithsonian. The list goes on.
Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny. This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way. Just when you think somone can’t stoop any lower, down they go…
Well this one will hit you in the feels! Not what I expected at all!
You never know what people are going through! Wait until the end!
God bless them all! ❤️❤️❤️
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
The officer deserves so much praise for her interview regarding a shooting that happened in Kansas City! I wish we had more officers that showed as much respect as she has! 👇👇👇
