The Situation: Tv hosts soften down within the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
Thanks for the article about late-night TV hosts and their reactions to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory (“Good grief! TV hosts get weepy,” Nov. 8).
I watched Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue the evening after the election.
It was pathetic and I loved each minute of it.
The late-night hosts — together with most information broadcasters at ABC, CBS and NBC — seemingly tried their finest to get Vice President Kamala Harris elected.
It’s now great watching all of them eat crow.
I miss the great outdated days when late-night hosts like Johnny Carson poked enjoyable in any respect presidents and politicians.
As of late, I simply watch “Seinfeld” reruns.

Jimmy Kimmel teared up on his present the day after Trump gained the election.
The explanation, I imagine, is as a result of he realized all his bull in opposition to Trump not solely had no impact on the election, however Trump did even higher than anticipated.
Then he went on to listing all the pieces underneath the solar that can go unsuitable underneath Trump’s presidency.
How out of contact are you able to presumably get?

Sufficiently old to recollect Johnny Carson’s “ Tonight Show?”
Try to recall if he voted for Richard Nixon or Hubert Humphrey in 1968.
You in all probability can’t, as a result of (to one of the best of my information) Carson by no means revealed his private selections. If, on the day after the election, he was saddened by the end result, you by no means knew it.
The jokes stored coming.

Kimmel was the worst. After working by the listing of people that could be harmed by the “Orange Hitler,” Kimmel couldn’t resist.
He needed to specific his sorrow for the individuals who voted for Trump, as a result of they couldn’t presumably notice the horrible mistake they made.
His disgraceful remark simply exemplified a stage of vanity that has bothered so lots of the political elite.

Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel and others have all freaked out over the Trump victory.
Kimmel even had a section the place he was packing to depart the nation. Good riddance.
None of the present hosts comply with the format of the late, nice Johnny Carson when he was on the air.
Late-night reveals must be about comedy and leisure, not about always bashing a political chief.

The Situation: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s legislative energy transfer to combat again in opposition to the incoming administration.
Some Democratic governors, like Gavin Newsom of California and Phil Murphy of New Jersey, declare that they’re able to combat Trump (“Gav: I’ll ‘Trump-proof’ Cali,” Nov. 8).
What sorry excuses they’re for leaders.
Murphy acts like he’s fearful of his personal shadow.
Newsom made such a large number of California that individuals are leaving the state in droves.

Gavin implies Californians have to be protected against the evils of the remainder of Republican America, apparently.
If Gavin desires out so unhealthy, maybe he ought to construct a border wall, observe a brand new language and sever all commerce with the remainder of the USA.

Gavin Newsom ought to cease the divisive rhetoric and work on cleansing up California, like he did San Francisco.
It’s Newsom’s insurance policies — like these of the Biden-Harris administration — that handed President-elect Trump a landslide victory final week.
