1. Good deal, Ef Disney and the rest of the fascist trump ass kissing bunch of losers...

[The Grand Illuminist]

3. They won't care.

Maybe one isn't enough.

[Blues Heron]

2. Fuck Carr, Fuck Trump, Fuck Kirk

Fuck ‘em all basically

[Cha]

28. Yeah Bottom Line.. Fuck 'em ALL to

Fry in Hell.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. "Walt is rolling over in his grave!" uh no, he was very anti-union

[ITAL]

7. For his own people yeah

From what I remember he wasn't anti-Union in principle and even supported them on occasion. But he felt that he was was a beneficent owner and it actually hurt his feelings that his OWN workers organized into a union and then struck.

[Aristus]

25. There were slave-owners who were like that.

They saw themselves as enlightened (as if it were somehow possibly to enslave people and still be 'enlightened' ), and benevolent. Maybe they didn't whip the men, rape the women, and sell the children they enslaved. But they still thought they were pretty okay people. And any time an enslaved person ran away or tried to, the enslaver would be hurt, or offended, or otherwise put out because their 'leniency' was betrayed.

Slavery is slavery. No matter how many coats of frosting you put on it.

[soldierant]

15. Walt was

a number of things one might think were inconsistent. But some of them were good.

I can't post the link, I'd like to, which contains a forbidden word, I guess, but you can google "Disney WW2" and read about what he did in the war

[ancianita]

5. Excellent. Protests invite people to stop and ask, which is a good thing.

[BaronChocula]

6. This was organized by the good people at Burbank Against ICE

[moonshinegnomie]

8. The writers should refuse to work for disney

Until the top execs resign

[Volaris]

10. One Rise of Skywalker was quite enough, thank you.

[OldBaldy1701E]

18. Heh.

I was going to ask, "And, what does that change?"

[Cha]

29. And Change Course.. Stand Up to Fascism!

[dawn5651]

9. so it is ok to say kill homeless people just because they have no homes but god forbid you say anything against the

homophobe who was murdered at a college in utah..just making sure i understand...i don't have disney+ and if i did i would cancel i don't watch jimmy kimmel but he is a comedian and sometimes what he says can be offensive....

[vanlassie]

14. There has been a longstanding feud between Kimmel and Trump.

Kimmel tells Jokes like a comedian and Trump whines like a baby.

[Wednesdays]

24. And what Kimmel said Monday wasn't even a diss on Kirk.

It was a diss on MAGA who were using Kirk's death for political gain.

[BidenRocks]

11. There's a reason Dennis Miller was cancelled.

RW comedy gets repetitive and stale.
Where are the other comedians?

Don't blame us if you have no sense of humor.

[red dog 1]

19. Good question - ("Where are the other comedians"?)

Here are three of them..... Lewis C.K.,, John Oliver, & Lewis Black:

(The guy we really need these days is George Carlin)

[BidenRocks]

20. You know I meant RW comedians.

I also miss Carlin, although his stuff never gets dated, usually.

[red dog 1]

21. My mistake.

Besides Dennis Miller, here are a few RW comedians:
- Tim Allen
- Jeff Foxworthy
- Greg Gutfield (late-night comedy host on Fox News)
- Rob Schneider
- Rosanne Barr
- Chad Prather (hosts "The Right Side of Comedy Tour" with Jesse Peyton)
- Shane Gillis
- Theo Von
and, of course, podcaster & comedian, Joe Rogan

[BidenRocks]

23. Any funny ones?

You landed three in two seconds for our side.

[red dog 1]

32. The only one on that list who ever made me laugh is Rob Schneider

I bought a copy of "Deuce Bigalo" and it's pretty funny.

In "The Aristocrats," you can see Gilbert Gottfried at the mic at the Friar's Club Roast of Hugh Hefner, not long after 9/11.
After he said he had booked a flight to LA with a stopover at the Empire State Building, someone in the audience yelled out "too soon," so Gilbert started telling a really filthy version of the Aristocrats Joke.
As he did, Rob Schneider, who was sitting on a couch onstage a few feet past Hugh Hefner, was literally on his knees laughing while Gilbert told the joke.
Gilbert stopped a couple of times to ask Schneider "Did you get that?" and "Do you want me to repeat that?" which made Schneider laugh even more.

That whole scene at the Hugh Hefner Friar's Club Roast with Gilbert Gottfried was the best part of that movie...it comes near the end.

(If you haven't seen "The Aristocrats", you might want to check it out)

30. Try Not to Cringe with Pain While Watching Right-Wing 'Comedians'

Some examples of right wing "comedy". Sorry, no way to describe it and do it justice, you have to watch the video to see how awful and unfunny it is.

[a kennedy]

12. And if I remember right....Jimmy Kimmel paid all his staff during the huge writers strike a few years ago.

Handed out food and was just so supportive of them all when they were on strike. He’s a good man, and EVERYONE LOVES HIM. Fawk SINCLARE AND ABC.

[Tree Lady]

22. Which is why he stayed a few

Years ago when his boy was so sick, to keep his employees that he loves with a job. Howard Stern and him are close friends and he said he talked him into staying. By the way Howard wants to quit also but stays for his employees.

My hubby is big Howard fan told me that, is wondering what Howard will say on Mondays show. He only works Mon-Wed now.

[vanlassie]

13. I got on the phone to Disney to cancel HULU

and I went to the website their recording mentioned, and cancelled. But I stayed on the line to keep it busy and when they answered I told them WHY.

[Dave Bowman]

16. K&R. That's so cool!

[Bev54]

17. I don't understand why there hasn't been a country wide walk out . The economy needs to be shut down

until people get the message and those that capitulate should be shut down until they reverse their stupid bloody, self indulgent decisions.

[MichMan]

26. People would prefer not to have their families be homeless and hungry?

[brakester]

27. This is a hard issue and I can sense our consternation over it here.

"That Thomas Payne revolutionary war saying keeps nagging at me. "These are the times that try men's souls." Those pamphlets made a lot of difference in keeping up morale for Washington's troops. He read them to them.
It also reflects my deep sense of pacifism, when I feel a need to move more decisively against as great a threat today aa King George was then.

It also reminds me of the McCarthy years when Hollywood was attacked and an era of repression and fears of thought crimes followed. It was a formative time in my youth and it has colored my whole life, knowing such a backlash could happen again and how would I face it.

I don't want a repeat of that public beating of our artists, actors and comedians. Those brutal televised hearings were enough to intimidate America and, they sent a silenced public back to their safe but circumcised lives.

[Aussie105]

31. Puts Disney in a bit of a bind.

Suck up to Trump, and lose the faith of many of the customers at the same time.

How many people will stop paying money to Disney for their wide and varied services?

Are they arrogant enough, like Musk with Tesla, to think their customer base is immutable?
