By the way, if you don't protest Trump weaponizing the Justice Department against his critics because they are people you don't like or agree with, you are assisting this fascist takeover. Wait until it happens to someone you like and it's too late.

If you're still subscribed to Disney Plus and Hulu please cancel. Their parent company is the one that fired Jimmy Kimmel.
