Will he be muted? Sanitized? Forced to issue a public apology to Charlie Kirk\u2019s family for his \u201cinsensitivity\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t think he was suspended for what he said about Kirk or the MAGA horde. He was suspended for airing the obvious lack of empathy when Trump was asked about his friend being killed. The ballroom is going to be a beauty. No pause, no lowered eyes, no additional questions were asked. Kimmel dared to show the emperor without any clothes and America decided to close their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will he still be the same Jimmy Kimmel who once called Trump <strong>Pumpkin McPornhumper<\/strong>? Or will he play it safe and downgrade to <strong>Orange Julius Caesar<\/strong>? If Jimmy doesn\u2019t come out with the same rapid-fire insults, then somebody else has his balls. Is it ABC? If so, America already grabbed Mickey by his green balls \u2014 Disney cancellations, park boycotts, subscriber losses. Is it the FCC? Threatening to cut off ABC\u2019s licenses \u201cthe hard way\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has turned into one big circle jerk. The only question left is: who\u2019s pulling the hardest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimmel has a unique opportunity tonight. He can raise his middle finger to Trump and his fake administration live on national TV, or he can succumb to pressure \u2014 and we all watch the fall of free speech together. If he goes for it, will ABC already have their finger on the panic button and cut to <em>The Sound of Music<\/em> right at the punchline?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just in case, here are my Top 10 Kimmel nicknames for Trump \u2014 the ones that should never be silenced:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kimmel\u2019s Top 10 Nicknames for Trump (My Picks)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.

Go on YouTube. Start a podcast like everybody else who has been attacked or fired for the right to say what they need to say. Freedom of speech doesn\u2019t mean you can go into a theater and yell fire, but it does mean you are free to say what you want about people as long as it\u2019s not slander or libel. We are a litigious country after all, but Jimmy Kimmel has to have the freedom to be Jimmy Kimmel. Ratings are down for all talk shows, that\u2019s nothing new. Of course, Trump will tell you it\u2019s because Kimmel has a \u201clow IQ,\u201d has \u201clow ratings,\u201d and is &nbsp;\u201cterrible person.\u201d. But that\u2019s not true. We know it. He knows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump needs to learn how to play the dozens. His responses are always the same for everybody who openly opposes him \u2014He needs to learn how to cap, as we called it back in the old days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question will be who capitulated. Will it be Jimmy, ABC, or the FCC? This is like a WWE battle royale for freedom of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, the ballroom is set. And I\u2019ll have my popcorn ready. If Jimmy comes out swinging, I\u2019ll be eating it. If he caves, I\u2019ll be throwing it at the TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe Jimmy will be invited to wrestle Trump on the white house lawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight, it\u2019s going to be interesting to see what monologue Jimmy Kimmel comes out with.
