He often seems to forget that he's supposed to portray the President of the United States rather than act like a KGB informant.

Remember, the agreement to abandon Bagram was signed by the trump Administration, he also signed a surrender to the Taliban and released 5,000 Taliban-ISIS prisoners from jail. ISIS went on to set off explosives the airport killing US service members.

And he invited the Taliban leaders to Camp David during his first disputed term. It was cancelled because there were still adults in the room then.

The Alt-right dare I say fascist media mogul who runs Sinclair Broadcast Group is David Smith, who controls the company with other members of his family. Smith is well-known for his right-wing political views and his willingness to inject his politics into affiliates owned by Sinclair. A 2018 study published in the American Political Science Review found that stations purchased by Sinclair undergo "a significant rightward shift in the ideological slant of coverage."

Sinclair regularly requires its local affiliates to run segments pushing right-wing talking points. Last year, Popular Information reported that "Eugene Ramirez, the lead anchor of Sinclair's national evening news broadcast, resigned in January over concerns about the accuracy and right-wing bias of the content he was required to present on air."

Unmentioned is that David Smith, through his family foundation, donated $250,000 to alt-right Turning Point USA last year.

It's such a relatively small win, having Disney put Kimmel back on the air.

In the grand scheme of life, the stakes were relatively low, and in actuality its more of a temperature check and bellwether than a major victory.

But I'll tell you what else: After weeks, months, years of not feeling this way, in this one way I feel like saying "fuck yeah America, good job. Stand and fight!"

And in that tiny regard, I shall celebrate this win.
