"Have we reached the point where we can say the US is in a constitutional crisis? Has American democracy failed? Has the US descended into authoritarianism?

"If the answers to those questions weren’t clear already, they are now. Yes. It is happening. Right now."

This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!
Meanwhile, "many in Maga-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk" On Monday, JD Vance, who once called Trump "America's Hitler", , hosted Kirk's podcast from the White House and blamed the left, without evidence. Said Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left." "And by 'statistical fact', ' he means 'complete bullshit'" Kimmel corrected. In fact, the Department of Justice removed from its website a study finding that violence from far-right groups is the greatest source of domestic terror and extremist violence in the US. "Here's a question JD Vance might be able to answer: who wanted to hang the guy who was vice president before you?" Kimmel said. "Was that the liberal left? Or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6." "The president and his henchmen are doing their best to tan the flames, so they can I guess attack people on the dangerous left," Kimmel added, noting the incongruence with the right's former vision of so-called "snowflake" liberals. "Which is it?" he wondered. "Are they a bunch of sissy pickleball players because they're too scared to get hit by tennis balls? Or are they a well-organized army of commandos? Because they can't be both."
