Ghislaine Maxwell Trial (Epstein’s side piece) (16 Viewers)

[El Caliente]

It wasn’t just that the link was from 10 years ago, but that it was from an apology that he made for those comments.

I have also been very clear that I don’t think Kimmel has a perfect record. I don’t necessarily think he’s a great guy but that doesn’t mean I don’t sympathize with him when he’s falsely implied to be an Epstein pedo (which has a history of violent reactions).

“Don’t start none, won’t be none” and “he made jokes at Rodgers’s expense” seems like a wild justification when one person is mocking a haircut & exact quotes and the other person is making up pedophile accusations.

He had to make multiple apologies because the offended parties didn't take his apology seriously.

"Don't start none, won't be none" seems like healthy advice before making jokes at the expense of a guy who you have mocked for being unstable. Would you prefer the saying "don't mess with the bull if you don't want the horns"? If Jimmy is mocking a guy for questionable judgment, why would he be surprised when the guy with questionable judgment fires a shot across the bow?

The interesting thing in all of this is that Rodgers mentioned the Epstein list back in February of 2023. He didn't mention Kimmel in his comments, he mentioned that it wasn't a coincidence that UFO stories were populating just when news of the Epstein list was bubbling up. Kimmel took it upon himself to call out Rodgers about having a concussion.



This is a leap, but perhaps that is why Aaron name dropped Kimmel. Kimmel fired a shot at Rodgers, and he got one back?

Anyway, enough ink has been spilled about two guys with checkered pasts.

To be clear, that clown was not in my capacity as staff and I have never been accused of being an adult.

lol, okay. Proud of all this, are ya?

However, being on staff makes it unallowable for me to block you after calling me laughable. Once again in this thread I object; but this time, I'd kind of like a serious ruling.

The problem I have with all of this is that Kimmel made jokes about Rodgers based on things Rodgers had said or done. Things everyone already knew that he had said or done. Jokes based on factual events. Rodgers joked about something that had absolutely nothing to do with anything factual. Has Kimmel been in the news connected to Epstein? Has there been any reports or accusations about Kimmel being connected to any of this? Rodgers just pulled a current headline out of the air and implied Kimmel had connections to it for the sole purpose of getting under Kimmel’s skin.

Really? He didn't have a driver?

Well, he is from Indiana and huge fan of the Indy 500,

When you build your entire career on being insulting to others this is bound to happen at some point.

sure. but that doesn't make it right.. Aaron is still and AAhole for giving crazies a reason ro do crazy things...

I can see the similarites in making fun of peoples appearance and political stances and making accusations about being a pedphile and human trafficer... its an easy parallel to make..

 

[SystemShock]

You can't be serious...

You did make the claim, so...

 

[SystemShock]

Then perhaps he shouldn't have made jokes at Rodgers expense?

Kimmel might be a crappy guy, Rodgers might be a crappy guy, maybe neither guy should take themselves so seriously.

The link I posted had nothing to do with Rodgers (I never said it did). The link that was posted was a protest that was spurred by a joke that Jimmy Kimmel made that called to "kill everyone in China." Sometimes jokes/comments miss the mark. As I previously said, for someone who makes a living by mocking others, I am not sure why Jimmy can't take this joke/comment in stride.

Except that wasn't a joke Rodgers say. Accusing someone of being a pedophile, especially in the current environment in the U.S., that's a serious accusation.

"Kill everyone in China", can you actually kill everyone in China? You'd need multiple nukes to do that. Even if it is not a joke, and someone actually means it, you'd still dismiss it as the rants of some doofus. But say something like "kill everyone in the church at the corner of 1st and Main", different thing, right? Now that's a threat.

This
Some posters are trying to draw an equivalency that really isn’t there
And unfortunately I’m pretty sure they’re smart enough to realize there’s not an equivalency
I’m not going to speculate on why

I would just again like to point out the seriousness of these kinds of accusations and the particular kind of people who throw them out baselessly.

Calling someone a pedophile is a way to make them an immediate target of violence that is largely ignored or even tacitly supported by the average person. Consider this quote in this very thread, for example:

And pedophiles should be tossed in a wood chipper.

A statement that is, on its face, a preposterous level of violence and pain inflicted upon someone, is not even considered noteworthy by anyone in this thread. As a society, our laws have determined that pedophiles do not, in fact, belong in a wood chipper, but instead belong in prison. But on a visceral level, we're all kinda ok with the wood chipper option.

And that's why these kinds of accusations are so dangerous. The thought of children suffering sexual abuse raises such blinding rage in even the average person that pretty much anyone could be capable of wood-chipper levels of violence, not just those we would consider "extremists". And those people would be tacitly supported, if not actively joined in the violence, by others.

And that's how you get genocide.

So every time one of these people throws out these kind of accusations, the response must be swift and clear. Lives are literally at stake. To suggest that Kimmel should have simply let this one go unanswered is the epitome of naivety.

And again, not to veer too far off into the political, but there is absolutely a political element here, where one particular side of the aisle is consistently targeting the other side of the aisle with these particular kinds of accusations. We are approaching an election, and if this rhetoric is continually ratcheted up, we should not be surprised at the political violence that ensues.

Let me say this. My opinion of rehabbing pedophiles is different than yours. I have not accused anyone in that list as a pedophile. But I was abused as a child by a family friend male, a family friend female an an uncle. Those moments in my life changed me and how I see and trust others among many other things. So you go ahead and preach from your lofty perch if you like.

And another thing. Aside from wondering what the hell as a 7 year old or a 10 year old an even a 14 year old again I was embarrassed. I told an aunt who took some money and moved on. Aside from saying this on here the only other person I have told what happened to me was my wife. 55 forking years old and I still live with that sheet.

so you can understand the gravity of a situation where someone is being accused of being a pedophile when there is absolutlely zero evidence of it, just because those two don't like each other.

I find the last paragraph (regarding politics) comical considering Kimmel’s stance on comedy and politics.

Jimmy Kimmel Told ABC He’d Quit if Execs Stopped Him From Making Trump Jokes: ‘They Knew I Was Serious’

Jimmy Kimmel said ABC asked him at one point if he would stop attacking Trump and not alienate that portion of his fanbase.
