'They failed': Trump ridiculed for failing to take down Jimmy Kimmel

Disney announced on Monday that it screwed up when it suspended late-night ABC host Jimmy Kimmel "indefinitely." It isn't a shocking announcement, Dylan Byers from Puck News told MSNBC after the news was announced. "They were telegraphing this," he said.

Deadline executive editor Dominic Patten said that Disney was already at work 24 hours after the announcement, trying to figure out how to walk back their actions. The company has lost 2.31% in market value over the past five days, at a time when the Dow Jones is up at least 1%, wrote data analyst G. Elliott Morris.

John Oliver spoke out about the matter on his Sunday show, while issuing the warning, “Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, he just comes back hungrier each time.”

"The strangeness of the current moment lies in how the administration is consolidating authoritarian power while also being extremely weak," noted legal analyst Quinta Jurecic. "This was a huge push, and they failed. Elite decadence (Disney) vs. popular anti-authoritarian vitality (Disney adults). "'The protests and boycotts worked! HELL YEAH!" exclaimed commentator and influencer Ed Krassenstein.

and just go on celebrating life by themselves and with close others. All regimes eventually fall, and when they go after the comedians, you know they're on the downhill slide of their time in power (at least, I hope it continues like that!)

The capitulation likely has more to do with the loss of market value than protests and boycotts.

And the authoritarian Trump regime is more incompetent than weak.

Last, it would be a mistake to believe this is over.
