Speaking Truth to Power in a Dictatorship: First Colbert, and Now Kimmel

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  (Walt Disney must be ashamed of his company today0

Is Trump a Fascist? Yes, without a doubt. More importantly, he is the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America as proven by his failed coup on January 6, 2021.

A few weeks ago, it was confirmed that the parent company of CBS, Paramount, fired the host of the highest-rated late-night television broadcast simply because Trump told them to. Tonight, 9/17/25, it was reported that the longest running host in late-night television, had been suspended, and his return is in doubt. Jimmy Kimmel was virtually fired for his fair and justified comments about the murder of another traitor to the American people, Charlie Kirk. Disney has become another member of the most corrupt and anti-American companies in America.

 “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

Was this a lie? Hell no. Did Kirk use Trump’s tactics of encouraging anger, hatred and violence? Hell yes. Do I condone his murder? Definitely not. Violence begets more violence.

Free speech is the cornerstone of a democratic nation.

Over the last 7+ months, Trump and his corrupt Supreme Court have effectively repealed the First Amendment of the Constitution, as the billionaires who own television networks capitulate to the demands of the worst man in the world. You and I no longer live in the United States of America, created by our Founding Fathers in 1789. We live in a nation controlled by one fat, old, and mentally challenged man who spreads anger, hatred, revenge, and violence while failing to do the job for which he was illegitimately elected. Not a single campaign promise has been addressed by the pretender in the White House. The pathological liar and malignant narcissist is unopposed by the very people we once trusted to care for our safety and our future: all three branches of our government and our military.

In 2025, if you tell the truth, you are in danger of losing your job, your future, and your life. The mainstream media must be blamed for failing their responsibilities to the American people based on their protection by the First Amendment.

What did Colbert and Kimmel do that was so horrible that they had to be fired by Trump’s oligarchs who own Paramount and Disney? They did not suggest staging a violent coup like January 6, nor did they call for a violent revolution. They redirected the anger all true Americans feel for Trump and made us laugh. Any man who cannot laugh at himself is a fool and unfit to hold any position of power and invluence.

I am ashamed that such hypocritical and fascist-leaning white men own these two “information institutions.” They have no balls and are not willing to stand up for their employees’ First Amendment Rights. They prefer to serve Trump, who is undoubtedly “Hitler reincarnated.”

When Paramount execs fired Colbert, I immediately cancelled my Paramount streaming service, and will take further actions at a later date.

As for Disney, I call for a boycott of all Disney movies, Disneyland, Disney World, and the Epcot Center. Hit these anti-American billionaires where it hurts. Money is their only god.
