I seriously think we need an organized movement to respond to him universally with "Shut the hell up, asshole."
Shut the fuck up Donny.
once you have paid him the Danegeld / You never get rid of the Dane
Ok so how much would it cost to get the Danes over here?
I mean, why wouldn't he? The last time he sued them, he ended up $16 million richer. The thing about stupid people is they generally learn by behavioural conditioning more than anything else. Rat push button, rat get reward, so rat push button again.
ABC thought they were buying safety for a mere $16 million, which was pocket change to them. In reality, all they did was tell Trump where the treats can be found. Now he's gonna be like a dog that found a cookie in the couch cushions one time, and so now goes rooting around in there every time he can because there might be another one.
This is the most apt description of Trump and this situation I have ever seen.

And we all said at the time, that's not how blackmail works. Once they've gotten money out of you, you can count on them coming back for more.
Your dog analogy reminded me of a story I once heard, about a guy walking his dog. One day, his dog found a package of pork chops that were inexplicably hidden under a bush. For that dog, it was literally like finding buried treasure. It made such an impact on him, that he checked under that bush on every wall, for YEARS.
Man, if only the TV network, ABC, had ever made any type of story related to Blackmail. I bet if they had made some sort of Soap Opera type program, they may have had an inkling how that may go. Alas.
He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution.
lol. lmao
He needs to be careful with that rhetoric, or they will use it against him. They could say that Fox News is an extension of the RNC, and just simply list all of the people he's hired that are former Fox News people. I'm fairly certain he's the dumbest president we've had, even more so than Bush Jr.
IKR? They operate the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which lies so much that it is responsible for the deaths of thousands, perhaps millions of people, and he thinks he can sue a major network because a comedian told a joke.
Donald Trump threatens to sue over lots of things. Let's see if he actually does, as this will be a clear cut violation of the 1st Amendment & a will allow ABC to recoup that $16m + more.
IRC, the merger has gone thru, so they no longer have to pretend to give a shit about Trumppy's widdle fee-fees.
What a snowflake lol
I like seeing him whine and get upset. 🥤🍿
Let's keep raising his blood pressure.
This is an impeachable offense. Will the Democrats even attempt performative politics?
Why should they honestly? You Americans complain that democrats don’t stand up to trump, yet the moment one does you guys shit on them and bury them.
What are you talking about?
You know they killed some of his opposition. They might be afraid.
Please do. Discovery will be a bitch.
Edit: Do not try to placate fascists and/or bullies. They always come back for more. ABC marked themselves as weak and will have to fight 10x as hard to get this to stop. If they don't, they will literally give Trump everything, and he will want more.
It's shit like this that the lawyers were waiting for. The ape was subtle enough with the threats last time that the government couldn't be implicated in Kimmel's termination. This is definitive. This is blatant government censorship and a violation of the first amendment.

I always thought it was unrealistic that Charlie Brown would keep trying to kick the football. "Surely" I thought to myself "a real person would have learned their lesson long ago that it's not going to happen."
And here we are with people somehow still thinking "ah yes, this time the football will be kicked!"
£50 says nothing happens and he gets away with it
Yeah, Legal Eagle covered this. Check out their channel on https://nebula.tv/
In short, ABC and Disney absolutely have standing to sue the government over this. If they want to.
Get fucked you nazi pedo little snowflake bitch
Why isn't this orange fool in prison yet?
Why does Brazil have to school the United States on how a mature functioning constitutional democracy works?

Let’s sue Turning Point USA for continuing to push Charlie Kirk talking points since it’s a major illegal campaign contribution to the Republican Party! Not only is money speech, but speech is money now!
Kimmel should do nothing but Epstein jokes, Trump will clam up real quick.
I guess Newsom should sue Fox then, while we're at it.
The party of “fuck your feelings,” people
Sour grapes, Donald.
Release the Epstein files.
Man, his refusal to release the files has proven to be an excellent distraction from the literal fascist dictator shit he keeps doing.
ABC learning why you don't give in to bullies.
I mean if his ratings and profitability are so terrible, that's a negligible contribution at best.

Hmm... It's a shame that ABC isn't owned by some super litigious megacorp that could bury most legal attacks in the dirt.

"I'm gonna sue!" seems to be his version of "I'm telling! You're going to be in such big trouble!"
