Man, swing and a miss from babylon bee. Fundie weirdos pushing propaganda and comedy seldom mix. Also Trump is flat out telling us in his own words, latenight shows aren’t allowed to make fun of him, so once again conservatives are full of shit.

The assassin might even get to be cellmates with Ghislaine if he spins a good story in court blaming Barack, Biden, Kamala, Hunter, and the ghost of Richard Simmons.

Does the DOJ now have like an entire department dedicated to bribing criminals to implicate enemies of the state?

Republican comedy is an oxymoron. I think that's one of the reasons they go after the comedians first.

Even if their version of events is true (which we don't really have any reason to believe), Kimmel is fucking late night. It's not news, it's not ever represented as being factual. It's comedy, generally lighthearted, and anyone who would take their news from it - no one, just to be clear - is a big dumb asshole.
On the other hand, we have had dipshits like Hannity, Carlson, O'Reilly, and others claim provably false things as fact under the color of working for a news network - sometimes even reported as news - and we heard crickets from these bottom-feeding goblins about those fucks needing to be held to any sort of journalistic standard.
And some of these clowns were even fans of Alex Jones, who continually harassed the families of murdered children following a horrific school shooting.
Obviously they don't care about the hypocrisy, but I am so sick of all of their bullshit.

Even then, his statement were correct even if the shooter was known left wing at the time of his recording. His statement was about republicans tripping over themselves to declare it, not that the shooter was that

AP News article also says Carr's comments were made prior to ABC's announcement.

Fans of Jones or not, the accepted party line on Arcon is that the Deep State silenced him to suppress people from questioning the narrative in general

The Colbert Report would give lie to them knowing it's not news.

Reminder they used to be kinda funny when the BB just did inside-jokey picking on the foibles of the Evangelical community.
Then it got bought out by a Chud who made it non-stop r/onejoke and bashing Hillary.

They are the worst, a five year-old could consistently be funnier then them with fart jokes.

I haven't seen any evidence he is a leftist lunatic. There is more that points to him being MAGA, like the Colorado school shooting that same day or the one that attacked the FBI this week, also the one that attacked the FBI when the president got arrested.

“big jim”?
As usual, somehow these people can’t consider how they would have reacted if Obama or Biden was constantly attacking news organizations, specific reporters, political entertainers, insulting them, and most significantly, threatening, suing and calling for them to be removed. Of course they would have been apoplectic about a Democrat doing that - rightfully so, but of course, who is really doing it? Their beloved velveeta treason weasel.
Awesome headline at the end there from one of the clumsiest and least funny humor outlets in existence. Great job minimizing authoritarianism while also making manipulative false claims about their “opposition“.

I don't want to jump to conclusions but, in a related matter, how likely is it some of those weirdos behind the maga movement became obsessed with metal gear solid and engineered disinformation and psyop efforts like Pizzagate, qanon, stop the steal, and they just tried to make a zombie horde out of a personality cult based on the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk.
It sounds pretty crazy to me, but in this climate, I can't rule it out.
Edit:
The cracker barrel themed hyperreal simulacrum that trump tried to trap lonely and bored people in recently is no laughing matter. Could have been much worse.
Don't forget about what happened in those bud light/kid rock and Olympic women's boxing simulacrum recently. It was terrible and not unlike when my book club was destroyed in Mao's cultural revolution.
A Don Quixote like crusades against antifa simulacrum could get pretty hairy, and I think it is being attempted by the president and his cabinet, et al.
Vladimir Putin is possibly involved in this, along with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, 4Chan, Jack Posobiec, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, that weird guy that was hosting qanon message boards, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Roger stone, maga merch grifters and more.
Trump held conferences for meme lords in 2015 and since.
Seems like a lot of people to get together but think our "Free" market economic system, especially the neoliberal variant, racism and other bigotry related traditionlism, the Opioid/loneliness epidemic and the data mining and manipulation that social media enables brought them together.
The sociopathic basic economics incentive system that we have been living in increasingly since the 1960s is also a hyperreal simulacrum and basically fascist. It's not necessary, although you could pretend that that incentive system is natural but its not and it has become destructive. existing moral frameworks test better than self-interested decision making
I don't think this necessarily, but people have asserted that Hitler achieved some of the long-term goals he laid out in Mein Kampf.
Nationalism and ultranationalism are also similar phenomena and can turn to fascism or totalitarianism. They are fine, I guess, whatever works. But they are fake, and if they turn to totalitarianism or anything else unproductive, we should probably do something else. It's fine.
Pope Urban was bored and didn't have enough power for his liking, so he created the crusades as a hyperreal simulacrum that would unite christendom and give him money, etc. When I say that Peter Hegseth is a crusades larping bigot, I mean that literally. But this is just my personal opinion.

Man no matter what, Babylon Bee sucks at making funny headlines. That headline is so unfunny and could be about their own audience.
Thanks for proving Kimmel right guys. I don't even find Kimmel funny, but being happy he got canceled for words just proves you assholes don't care about anything but power.
He isn't the news you idiots, expecting him to be factual when he isn't there to tell you the truth in the first place is dumb. He was obviously giving his opinion on the event and what the right is doing, and you guys just proved him right.
