At this point, "avoiding politics" is more of a political statement then talking politics.

"Sitting on the fence is painful" as one of my teachers once told me.

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He who sits on fence, gets splinters in ass

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

he who sits on fence is full of shit

[–] purplerabbit@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 months ago

Always has been.

We know. Your a milquetoast pussy that will read whatever the teleprompter tells you, and you'll fuck up your lines all the same.

Not even a D level SNL alumni

Don't you get it? He breaks character. He's basically Carol Burnett.

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I mean he breaks character... But it's because he's not that great of a comedian or actor.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It’s tough but fair.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 56 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not like he needs the money, he has nothing to lose.

Coward.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fame. Can you imagine the ego boost of having your own nightly show broadcasting worldwide?

He doesn't wanna risk it to take any stand, and because of that he'll continue to earn his place in history as anything but interesting or extraordinary.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i mean sure but also: can you imagine the ego boost of going down on the right side of history? it's not like the amount of people that would respect him for speaking out is insignificant.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Too long term for him I guess.

Yikes bro bad look

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago

yeah that’ll save you, jimmy

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 23 points 6 months ago

If people are expecting Fallon to step up then their country is already well and truly in the bin.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 22 points 6 months ago

The worst guy from SNL who now hosts the worst late night show doesn't want to piss off magats? Shocking

Milquetoast Man #2? Wow I'm shocked.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The Tonight Show has always been politically neutral, or cowardly, depending on how you look at at it. I remember Johnny Carson being the same way, back in the 70s.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yeah Fix loved saying that.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Fallon, the smiling, friendly face of the 1%. With your Capital One™️ card!

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 8 points 6 months ago

Everyone already knew Jimmy was a pussy

[–] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

Jimmy has always been a punk bitch.
