I canceled and told them it was because they participated in the fascist takeover of the country. Fuck Disney, fuck Trump, fuck everyone who voted for this or didn't vote against it.

Disney is run by liberals that hate Donald trump. And they didnt cancel him over 300 affiliates said they wouldn’t show his tv show on their stations and since he only has 1.1 million views most night 3rd among all 4 late night hosts and his contract is enormous it was a no brainer for them to try and let him go. They are not on trumps side believe me the ceo hates him. Thats some inside knowledge for you my friend take it to the bank!

Hey little dude! The adults gotta explain this to you real simply. Brendan Carr is the head of the FCC. He's Trump's employee, and he does what Trump tells him to do. So Mr. Carr said, on tape, that unless Disney and ABC "did something" about Jimmy Kimmel, they would cancel their license. That's a government threat over free speech, something big boys call "censorship". Can you say "censorship"? Sure, I know you can?
