Inga will be posting stupid jokes making fun of republicans and deplorables based on this video.

They will claim it is true just like all the other lies.

Stu Grimshaw said...: Back in the early 2000s there was a Page Six blind item about The Man Show. The gist was that one of the hosts liked to wear women’s panties. Blind items are always true, and I like Adam Carolla, so the only conclusion to make is that Jimmy Kimmel gets off on wearing women’s panties.; 5/9/20, 11:42 AM
Inga said...: Really, who cares? It was the thought that counted. My concern is why isn’t he wearing a mask? There have been two who have tested positive for Covid in his close circle, one of who is Stephen Miller’s wife who sees Trump everyday. If people want things to get back to normal, one can’t pretend that the virus isn’t still in circulation and it isn’t still killing people. Trump and Pence should be an example of what to do, not what not to do.; 5/9/20, 11:43 AM
Kevin said...: It’s lies all the way down.; 5/9/20, 11:44 AM

Before anyone gives Kimmel much credence, remember he was a host of the Man Show.; 5/9/20, 11:49 AM

who cares if progs lie? It's for the greater good!; 5/9/20, 12:00 PM
Inga said...: “Missing you on the Russian hoax threads, Inga. This was your topic for 4 years.”

This is off topic for this thread, but no thanks. I’m not interested or willing to waste my time trying to convince anyone that Trump’s DOJ is as corrupt as he is. That is my opinion, take it or leave it. Now try to stay on topic, I try, so can you.; 5/9/20, 12:01 PM
Drago said...: Inga: "Really, who cares?"

The entire media and left which has retweeted this story around the globe where it now becomes "truth", just like russia collusion, Carter Page is a russian spy, Kavanaugh is a rapist, Trump can't properly feed goldfish in Japan, Trump said for people to drink lysol.....

.....

....Hey, wait a minute. Inga has pushed every one of those lies. Most for years.; 5/9/20, 12:02 PM
Drago said...: Jimmy Kimmel lies often about Trump.

Just like Inga.

Now that's on topic, no?; 5/9/20, 12:03 PM
Original Mike said...: "Now try to stay on topic, I try, so can you."

Then come on over (the water's fine) and explain to us why Schiff held those transcripts for so long. What could his motive possibly be?; 5/9/20, 12:04 PM
Drago said...: Original Mike: "Then come on over (the water's fine) and explain to us why Schiff held those transcripts for so long. What could his motive possibly be?"

Remember, Inga claimed Devin Nunes was a liar and the Schiff-ty Schiff memo was spot on......

..........and now we know the truth.

Don't we?

And if Barr's Justice Dept is corrupt, why is there precise precedent for just this action coming from the.......obama admin!!

Steven case....before Judge Sullivan!

LOL

Inga can't even get that right.; 5/9/20, 12:06 PM
Inga said...: Weren’t they delivering these boxes to a rehab center? Shouldn’t there be at least an attempt to be safer around people who may be immunologically impaired because of illness? Pence also neglected to wear a mask to the visit to the Mayo Clinic, when everyone else saw fit to wear one. I hope that he’s rethinking his choices, especially since two of his staff have come up positive.; 5/9/20, 12:08 PM
Original Mike said...: "I’m not interested or willing to waste my time trying to convince anyone that Trump’s DOJ is as corrupt as he is."

On a day when the corruption of the Obama DOJ's corruption is being laid bare for all to see, someone actually has the cluelessness to write this!; 5/9/20, 12:12 PM

Democrat Gov Cuomo and his democrat administration DIRECTED that infected elderly be put back into nursing homes and retirement homes...as a matter of policy, resulting in the largest death rate amongst those most vulnerable. And the democrats did this for months and months.; 5/9/20, 12:14 PM

Not clueless. Malicious. The hatred burns too brightly for the progs to do anything but continue to lie.; 5/9/20, 12:36 PM
William said...: I don't watch his show so I don't know. Did he make any jokes about Cuomo pitching in to clean the subway car. That was a far more ridiculous photo op. IN MAY, Cuomo decides that it's bad idea for the homeless to use the subway to shelter in place. The cleaning of the subway car just underlined how lame his response was. Also, there's some killer material for Kimmel in the way that Cuomo sent coronavirus patients back to the nursing homes....Like I say, I don't watch his show. If somewhere along the way he made fun of Cuomo or his brother, then I will say that he executed one poorly informed joke and should be given a pass.; 5/9/20, 12:37 PM

Clown nose off!

Two-eyed Jack said...: Inga,
I believe that the media very much want a photo of Trump and/or Pence in a mask for propaganda purposes, but that Trump is determined not to give them that. The media are trying to goad them, but, so far, it hasn't worked.
This is not health, this is politics.; 5/9/20, 12:48 PM

The State also sent the nursing homes body bags when they sent the positive patients back to the nursing home. That is evil.; 5/9/20, 12:54 PM
CJinPA said...: The guy paid millions to read other people's jokes pretended not to know how to spot another guy joking.

Going out of you way to spread toxic cynicism isn't funny. It's a horrible way to use the influence he's been given. And his "apology" was just as cowardly as his initial stunt.; 5/9/20, 12:55 PM
paminwi said...: Inga you obviously never watched the stupid 1:05 video.
He never went IN the facility.
He was outside at all times and came in no contact with patients.
That’s like the pizza delivery guy leaving your pizza on your front steps.; 5/9/20, 12:56 PM
Inga said...: “Inga you obviously never watched the stupid 1:05 video.

TheDopeFromHope said...: Kimmel is a scum bag.; 5/9/20, 1:06 PM
Drago said...: Inga: "However he did go INTO the Mayo Clinic."

Did he bring along infected elderly in the same way your beloved democrats shoved infected elderly back into nursing homes?

Hey, quick question: Can the democrats impeach Trump for Cuomo's decision to send infected elderly into nursing and retirement homes?

After all, the dems accused Trump of being guilty of Hillary's russia collusion AND the dems impeached Trump over Biden family corruption in the Ukraine.

So, you know, theres alot of precedent for prosecuting Trump for what the dems do already.; 5/9/20, 1:13 PM
Anthony said...: Mean Tweets are funny as hell; 5/9/20, 1:29 PM
D.D. Driver said...: Its just a matter of time before the left cancels Kimmel for his blackface adventures longs decades past the moment when everyone knew better.

So he's got to stay in the lefts good graces.; 5/9/20, 1:31 PM
brylun said...: For Inga: NY Gov. Cuomo's Health Department issued this directive to nursing homes, still in effect, stating:

"No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission."; 5/9/20, 1:31 PM
brylun said...: Inga, aren't you sick of Schiff, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, and the rest, playing you? They tell you one thing on MSNBC, and testify under oath to the exact opposite.

Aren't you sick of being played?; 5/9/20, 1:34 PM
exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil said...: Aren't you sick of being played?

5/9/20, 1:34 PM

Inga isn't intelligent enough to realize that she was played for a fool.

The Dems sure do know their base.; 5/9/20, 1:46 PM
William said...: I don't suppose there ever was a happy valley where reporters pursued equally the crimes of the Democrats and Republicans and the comedians made equal fun of the foibles of the left and the right. Still it's pretty to think so. I suppose Bob Hope or maybe Carson tried to be equitable but that was a long time ago...I wonder if the media even realizes how much it subverts their message by being so one sided. The Dems present a fine assortment of clowns, but they take their pratfalls without rim shots from the jesters.....You have to reach Weinstein level grotesquerie to get a rise out of them. Even then, I don't think there were any funny skits about Harvey rubbing one out while Hillary told him how much she appreciated his efforts to raise money for her.; 5/9/20, 2:21 PM
Leland said...: he did go INTO the Mayo Clinic.

Oh my, a person walked into a clinic. Gosh, I sure hope the Mayo Clinic had procedures for preventing that person from spreading germs. What was the person thinking walking into a clinic when there is the potential they could be carrying a disease. Did they think a clinic, especially the Mayo Clinic, would be prepared for someone doing something crazy as that? It's not like the clinic is a subway or a nursing home.; 5/9/20, 2:37 PM
Kyzer SoSay said...: Of course Kimmel lied about Pence.
Kimmel is a hardcore leftist who is paid to speak on camera about current events. Pence is a Republican in high-profile public life.
Ergo . . .

And I'm not surprised he halfheartedly admitted to lying. Liberals have a funny way of understanding that something was a complete fabrication but still holding it up as an object of truth. I STILL hear people say that Bush dodged his Texas ANG service based on the lies told by Dan Rather, and when I remind them they were lies, the response is usually "So what? We know it's true anyway!"

Literally. To a leftist, "truth" has zero connection with "facts". Zero.

Fact: Cuomo perpetrated a bloodbath at NYS nursing homes with ill-advised orders, and De Blasio horrifically mismanaged the NYC lockdown/quarantine because he's an idiot and a big city is a tough place to protect to begin with.

"Truth": Trump bungled the pandemic and killed Americans.

Fact: Trump never visited Pedo Island and banned Epstein from Mar-A-Lago due to his creepiness towards the female staff, although he might have flown on Epstein's plane a number of times. Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein were good friends who hung out on Pedo Island and flew Pedo Air over two dozen times to and from said island of ill repute.

"Truth": Trump killed Epstein to shut him up.

Fact: Trump does not have a bill coming due to a Chinese bank, the property in question was sold multiple times and is no longer involved with Bank of Batflu. Media reports about the "loan" were wildly wrong. Biden and his son have extensive business and political interests in China getting rich off cronyism.

"Truth": China owns Trump, and so does Russia. Biden fights for America.; 5/9/20, 2:52 PM
LordSomber said...: Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.; 5/9/20, 2:53 PM
Kyzer SoSay said...: Fact: Blasey-Ford's story was nonspecific, lacked any useful details, and had zero confirmation from any of her pertinent witnesses. Tara Reade's story, while certain details have changed, remains mostly consistent, is backed up by employment records and contemporary memories of those working there that her duties suddenly changed, and also has confirmation from pertinent witnesses including the amazing find of a 1993 Larry King segment where her mother calls the show (which was about abuse and harassment in govt service) to ask for advice on her daughter's behalf.

"Truth": Blasey-Ford is stunning and brave. Tara Reade just wants to suck Putin's dick.; 5/9/20, 2:57 PM

FullMoon said...: Democrat Gov Cuomo and his democrat administration DIRECTED that infected elderly be put back into nursing homes and retirement homes...as a matter of policy, resulting in the largest death rate amongst those most vulnerable. And the democrats did this for months and months.

Ca Gov Newsome thinks that was a good plan.

"The Newsom Administration has approved a plan to pay assisted living communities to take in COVID-19 patients — a move that doctors, nurses and other advocates for elderly people say is unnecessary and dangerous.

The California Department of Social Services is offering to pay assisted living facilities with six or fewer residents $1,000 a day from the time the first coronavirus patient is placed, according to a May 1 notice issued by the agency. Rates for communities with more than six beds will be set on a case-by-case basis."

Temujin said...: To me Kimmel will always be host of The Man Show. Couldn't watch him then. Can't now. That he fabricated a video to make a political statement? Meh. It's what the major media does all day long everyday for their clapping seals of an audience. It's why they are all held in such high regard.

Mike Pence is actually a very decent man. Just the kind of man that scare liberals. He's decent, smart, and a man of principals. Now- you may not agree with his principals, but so what? It's allowed. Find someone evil to stand up to and I might listen to you. But when you work on taking down a truly decent person, you lose all credibility. However, in the case of Kimmel, he lost it way back when. Kimmel!; 5/9/20, 3:03 PM
h said...: THe job of the journalist is not to report individual stories and facts which could mislead the naive reader (viewer). THe job of the reader is to make sure that the naive reader (viewer) understands the underlying truth. For example, a bad journalist would report "KC won the Superbowl, defeating SF 31-20." A good journalist would report "SF clearly the better team in Superbowl LIV."; 5/9/20, 3:04 PM
Michael K said...: he did go INTO the Mayo Clinic.

Inga is the true believer. Nothing anyone can say or write will change her little mind. She is sure deep in her heart that Trump and Putin pulled a switch somehow and put a Manchurian Candidate in the White House. Hillary was honest and trustworthy. Her server was hacked by Russians who have invented a new super dooper internet connection that can download files as fast as a thumb drive. Her Blackberry was the victim of a tragic canoe accident. As were her 33,000 e-mails.

"Useful Idiot" was the term invented, I believe.; 5/9/20, 3:04 PM

That's not the subject. Since you're so insistent on staying on topic, try it yourself.; 5/9/20, 4:27 PM
tim maguire said...: Always a pleasure to watch Inga at work.

Not just anyone can brazen it out the way she does, to feign earnestness as she voices her sincerely held beliefs that are always flawlessly in line with Democratic talking points, who can take a news piece about people lying about Pence on a day when Obama himself was implicated in a major corruption event and pound the Orange Man Bad script without missing a beat.

My hat is off to you, Inga.; 5/9/20, 5:56 PM
gadfly said...: It seems to me that having Pence filmed in the act of delivering a few boxes of medical supplies to a nursing home reflects poorly on Trump and Pence. The promotional stunt was obviously straight from Donald's addled brain and Pence was picked because Trump contantly demands complete surrender from his most sycophantic underling.

I voted for Mike in his runs for Governor - respecting his apparently conservative talk and believing his dedication to religion and family. But Trump continues to force him to lie and the ex-governor does so willingly. For this newly found weak-at-the-knees personality, Pence will soon find himself off the Republican ticket for 2020 because Trump doesn't like him and may detest Karen Pence even more.; 5/9/20, 6:06 PM
Drago said...: Expect to see a lot more of this from gadflys moronic lefty heroes in the days ahead...

"Matt Tait, a former GCHQ analyst also known as @pwnallthethings, appears to have just locked his account and deleted all his tweets. For years, Tait was integral in whipping Twitter into a frenzy over Trump/Russia. Transcript of his 2017 House Intel testimony was just released:"

https://t.co/aIrNgQw31M

Why did Tait, a big gadfly-collusionist just delete his tweets for the last 3+ years?

Because we now have his under oath testimony where he admits he had ZERO evidence of collusion....despite spending 3+ years claiming publicly that he did!

gadfly and other lefty foot soldiers hardest hit.

"Unexpectedly"

Q: "Do you have any evidence to show that anyone was directed outside of the Donald J. Trump campaign to coordinate, collude, or conspire with the Russian government in the 2016 election"

No wonder why there are so many angry progressives out there.; 5/10/20, 4:22 AM
jrohio said...: Kimmel was a guest on Conan O’Brien’s podcast last year and I remember thinking he was just a very unhappy person. He said something to the effect that he’d quit his late night gig, if he could, but it’s tough to walk away from millions of dollars. O’Brien’s podcast is usually funny (to me, at least), but Kimmel just sounded miserable, so a bit of a depressing listen.; 5/10/20, 7:52 AM
