BREAKING: LOL! Jimmy Kimmel just won a Peabody Award and used his acceptance speech to laugh in Trump’s face.
Jimmy Kimmel won a Peabody Award last night. And he used his acceptance speech to deliver one of the most gloriously defiant moments in the history of American comedy.
Standing alongside journalists who exposed Trump administration immigration horrors and prison abuse, a teacher who took on Putin, and documentarians covering Vietnam War protests, Kimmel opened with characteristic self-deprecation:
"I've never felt dumber than I do right now, being on stage with this group of people who expose the horrors of ICE, prison abuse, and protests against the Vietnam War, a teacher who took on Putin. I called our president Fatty Shack. And Blob the Builder. And Liger Woods and the Hungry Hungry Hypocrite. Our fondling father, Mara Lardo. Nelson Tandela. And Nostra Dumbass. And somehow we got a Peabody out of that."
But then Kimmel got serious — and the room got quiet.
"Making jokes about the president in America shouldn't win you a prize," he said. "We have the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that many of us take for granted. It's one that I took for granted for the first 57 years of my life until September of last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise."
Trump's FCC chief, Brendan Carr, launched an investigation into Kimmel last year as part of the administration's broader campaign to weaponize federal regulators against media critics, leading ABC/Disney to cancel Kimmel’s program, albeit temporarily. But Kimmel said what happened next surprised him even more than the attack itself.
"I watched as millions of people, even some from across the aisle, objected. They spoke up. They marched. They canceled their subscriptions to Star Wars because they refused to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing of the White House. You sent a message that we do care and that we will stand up and that we will not stand by when comedy and journalism and dissent are censored and regulated and criminalized."
He closed with a list of thank-yous that will live forever: "Thank you to Donald Trump, our commander-in-thief, Abriscam Lincoln, Orange Julius Caesar, Greedy McGolfy, Dopey McGropy, and Pumpkin McPornhumper. Thank you for inspiring us to fight for our freedom of speech."
The First Amendment is not negotiable. And apparently, neither is Jimmy Kimmel.
If you believe that Jimmy Kimmel absolutely deserved his Peabody award, please like and share this post everywhere!
Not only are we getting squeezed at the gas pump and grocery store, but trump just set up a $1.8 BILLION slush fund using OUR TAXPAYER FUNDS to pay off scumbags like the January 6th attackers and his rich buddies.
CONGRESS: ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING?
ICE pulled a gun on a NY teenager, beat him, and then realized they got the wrong guy. Like other cases targeting citizens, ICE dumped him in a random location far from his home, bloody and injured.
The monster who hurled a rock at Lani, the endangered monk seal in Maui, is 37-year-old Igor Lytvynchuk from Seattle.
After being confronted the sicko replied: “I don't care, I'm rich, fine me. I can pay for it.”
He has since been detained, but has yet to be charged as the case was referred to federal investigators. He must be held accountable.
Anyone who would assault and harm an endangered animal like Lani is a danger to the entire planet and belongs behind bars.
And for all those wondering, Lani is ok! A marine biologist went to check on her and she is going to make a full recovery.
Donald Trump has the slowest GDP growth of any President in the last 100 years.
The top three are Democrats.
6 out of the bottom 8 are Republicans.
But yeah, Republicans are good for the economy!
In case you missed it, Bernie Sanders is suggesting the Epstein files be read during the filibuster on the SAVE ACT this week.
Let's get this idea to trend!!!
🚨BREAKING: ICE is trafficking a seven-year-old Canadian girl, with autism, because they “couldn’t find their documents” in their system.
This family has lived in the U.S. for five years without any issue.
They’ve followed all the rules, they’ve done everything right, and suddenly… because a computer system didn’t register paperwork correctly… ICE threw a seven-year-old autistic child into a concentration camp.
The seven-year-old and her mom are at the Rio Grande Valley Central Processing Center… a facility infamous for caging children… where the autistic child sleeps on a mat, wrapped in a space blanket, in conditions no child should ever face.
And just to be absolutely clear… this isn’t about public safety.
This is bureaucratic chaos being weaponized against a child and her mother.
And the government’s response? Silence.
A glitch in the system… An autistic seven-year-old… Trafficked for profit, by the government.
This is unhinged.
The President of the United States went on a late-night rant, making clear he believes the Supreme Court justices he appointed owe him their loyalty and should always rule in his favor.
The President of the United States is openly attacking the independence of the judiciary, the very institution that stands between every American and unchecked executive power.
Courts don’t work for the President. They work for the Constitution. And a president attacking the judiciary for doing its job is telling you he believes he is above the law.
BREAKING: The increase in the average U.S. gas prices over the last 7 days is now in the top 10 largest weekly increases ever recorded at 41.6c/gal, according to live GasBuddy data
BREAKING: Epstein survivor Dani Bensky moments ago about attending Trump's State of the Union address:
“How can anyone feel safe in this country when our President’s sympathies are going to the former Prince Andrew and not to survivors?”
She then went on to list 3 things that need to be done immediately!
1) Where are the rest of the files?
2) Why are there no investigations when there are plenty of people in these files to investigate?
3) Why is the FBI Director out there partying like a college kid when he should be investigating the vast criminal enterprise?
“Release the Damn Files!”
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are stealing the personal belongings of U.S. citizens, and legal residents, they wrongfully detain… and are releasing them into the cold without giving their property back.
In this video, a woman is released after being wrongfully detained… without a proper coat… without her phone… without her ID… without money… left outside in freezing temperatures.
And it’s Haven Watch… not the government that took her… stepping in to give her a blanket, to make sure she’s safe, to explain her options, to treat her like a human being.
Think about how insane that is.
A federal agency, with billions in funding, wrongfully detains someone, takes their belongings, and then dumps them outside in the cold without basic necessities…
And after neighbors saw this happening over and over again, they didn’t look away.
They organized.
They formed Haven Watch… to stand outside detention facilities, to bring blankets, to offer rides, to make sure people aren’t dumped into the cold alone. To provide the emergency support their own government refuses to.
When agents take someone’s property without a lawful reason and don’t return it, they are violating the Constitution.
The Fourth Amendment still applies.
The Fifth Amendment still applies.
Those rights don’t disappear because DHS says so.
If U.S. citizens can be detained, stripped of their belongings, and released into freezing weather with nothing…
That’s systemic abuse.
It’s what happens when a government operates like accountability is optional.
And that should alarm everyone.
