Watch out for flying ketchup bottles! The Crybaby-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is going to be lobbing caseloads of condiments with both hands when he hears that the “low rated, no talent,”<\/em> late night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, has just won a coveted Peabody Award for \u201cembracing the responsibility of comedy to reveal truths amid political volatility.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Never mind the skyrocketing costs of gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, etc., or the reckless and illegal war in Iran. Trump is too busy with his vanity ballroom, and getting his scowling mug plastered on currency, to be concerned with issues that really matter to the American people. And he’s too obsessed with punishing the media for telling the truth about him, including by comedians that America loves way more than him.<\/p>\n

On Sunday night the prestigious Peabody Awards were presented to journalists and others in the media for outstanding achievements in their fields. Among them was Jimmy Kimmel, who has distinguished himself as both a humorist and a profound observer of political, cultural, and social affairs. As reported by Variety<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ was among the 34 winners chosen by the Peabody Awards jury to win this year\u2019s prizes, and Kimmel joked that he ‘never felt dumber’ being awarded along side documentaries and news programs that ‘exposed the horrors of ice, prison abuse and a teacher who took on Putin.’<\/p>\n

“But the audience at Sunday night\u2019s ceremony cheered on as the talk show host, in his acceptance speech, reminded the crowd that ‘making jokes about the President \u2013 in America \u2013 shouldn\u2019t win you a prize. We have the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to criticize and satirize our leaders. That is a right I took for granted, for the first 57 years of my life, until last September, when the FCC delivered an unpleasant surprise.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a perennial target of Trump’s wrath, Kimmel has been subjected to infantile insults, as well as vindictive threats and abusive retribution by Trump and his flunkies at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). They succeeded in getting Kimmel thrown off the air, but only for three days as the public backlash forced the Trumpists to cave in and restore the program. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped Trump from pursuing his ego-fueled vendetta.<\/p>\n

In his Peabody acceptance speech (video below), Kimmel affirmed that he and his peers “will not stand by when comedy, and journalism, and dissent are censored, regulated and criminalized.”<\/em> Then he went on to thank the Peabody panel that voted for him, as well as another notable who helped him to earn this honor…<\/p>\n

“Thank you to the Peabody jurors for this adorable little trophy, and thank you to Donald Trump, our commander-in-thief, \u2018Abrascam Lincoln,\u2019 \u2018Orange Julius Caesar,\u2019 \u2018Greedy McGolfy,\u2019 \u2018Dopey McGropey\u2019 and \u2018Pumpkin McPornhumper.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trump may have succeeded in getting his billionaire pals at Paramount\/CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert. Although they may have only succeeded in guiding him to an even bigger audience online and streaming. But Kimmel, for the time being, is still with us. And he will likely inherit Colbert’s network TV audience, giving him more exposure than ever.<\/p>\n

As for Trump, his approval ratings have been in a death spiral<\/a><\/strong> for months. And nothing hurts him more than knowing how despised he is by the little people he aspires to rule.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel: We have the right to criticize and satirize our leaders. This is a right that I took for granted until last year when the FCC delivered a very unpleasant surprise. Then I watched as millions of people objected because they refuse to allow our freedoms to be bulldozed like the East Wing<\/p>\n
