Prbkk Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Very bad taste but the right outcome: the public determined that she had gone too far, regardless of political affiliation. At least in the US you still have the freedom to make a point, engage in a protest, have your say...without being shut down or thrown in jail. Only a modest (and declining) number of places left where that applies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pegman Posted May 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2017 I laughed like hell when I saw it. It's funny how Trump can tell his supporters to rough up protesters at his rallies but if he is the butt of a joke those same supporters whine like teenage girls. Boo Hooo Hoooo, my feelings got hurt. Lock him up. Lock him up. Lock him up! 555 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my experience in watching her 'comedy' is that she cannot do better. Her form of humor is making a joke out of everything around her. Downs syndrome, fat men (or women), just whatever suits her fancy. I quit watching her, Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert. They respect nothing, especially others feelings. True, Trump ran an election that was pretty low, but he has acted mostly Presidential. It's to bad that he's not afford the respect the rest of those liars, crooks, cheaters and thieves that filled the office have been given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that is comedy gold. A sample of Griffin's style. Not for everyone, sure, but to suggest that it's fair to define her comedy and entire career from the bloody trump head thing is just massively STUPID.

Just after 45 made a Buffon out of the presidency, now he has this to fall back on, to take the place for the grilling... Sadly the GOP has given up... you are in dereliction of your duty... Sad...

wayned Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I usually get up every morning at around 0200 and watch US sports. Right now there isn't anything live so I switch on CNN, make a pot of coffee and watch the new political sit com, don't Know what the name is but I call it "White House Down". It's actually better than House of Cards with Kevin Spacey. After the caffeine sets in I realize that it's actually live reporting of today's happenings in America and I wonder how all of this can be happening in real time. If it were a sit com at least it could be cancelled mid season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leaker's fate (or less than deserved), regardless of his actual complicity, which will probably never be determined. From your submitted The Wrap article [link]: "Bush was fired from NBC’s “Today” show for his role in the video." What was his role, exactly? If Bush had made the recording, doesn't he bear the ultimate responsibility for its dissemination? Did Trump know he was being recorded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post petesc55 Posted May 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2017 Trump needs to scuttle off to his personal 'safe space', unbunch his panties,(or have his Butler do it) and <deleted> and learn how to be a man instead of the joke he is.

Jingthing Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Maybe do some research on how the recording was made. Also, in the case of Griffith, there was certainly no leak. You're trying to twist this story into something it's not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Freedom of speech is one of those messy, nasty "rights". "Artistic" freedom is similarly vexing. Hate speech, like what Trump and his minions spout daily, seems to sometime go over the edge, especially when it results in violence. Some of the signs, and language, at Trump rallies, depiciting President Obama were downright creepy. What Ms. Griffin did, while shocking to Eric, Donald Jr. and Barron evidently, was not even close to the edge, IMO. I support her right to voice her opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramen087 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The ability or right to say or do something does not equal the obligation to do so, especially when it is something in very poor taste. This applies across the board socioeconomically, politically, religiously etc. Showing examples from different ends of the political spectrum doesn't justify any of those actions; it's a self-defeating argument and a sad attempt to make two 'wrongs' equal one 'right'. Rise above people. You're engaging in that which you are condemning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a true political correct world this could be seen as an assault or threat against the OPUS but hey he is Trump people can say and do as they please. He is there to be abused by all the ignorant,selfish,,bigots in America. unlike any president before him. Yes, I can see that this was deeply offensive to all the supporters of the little orange emperor. How dare she offend the so-called President by suggesting something terrible happen to him? While I do feel that this was in poor taste and totally inappropriate, I have to admit to a bit of curiosity as to where all the trumpanzee concern for the dignity of the President was, however, when this was published? Or when Ted "S****y Pants" Nugent suggested that Obama suck on his machine gun and called Hillary a "toxic c***" Maybe all the Trump lovers should check their (double) standards. But, then, it appears that their standards simply mirror those of the orange one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the woman who perpetrated this despicable act displays those three traits, but so does Trump. He is ignorant, at least for the workings of government and diplomacy; he is selfish in that with all his money he refused to reimburse those who indebted themselves to his "fake" university; and he is bigoted as has been noted by the several court rulings against his immigration ban.

bendejo Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The terrible thing about this incident for Cheeto is that the people are talking about Kathy Griffin, not him.

On top of that, even though this was definitely a big mistake, she gets much more name recognition now and the chance build an even bigger fan base. No, I'm not suggesting she did this stunt on purpose for it to backfire and get massive publicity but the result will be the same. Of course, she will lose any random trumpists that happened to be in her fan base. One or two confused people. May the covfefe be with you! PMSL - of course this whole thing was a publicity stunt.

Usernames Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Freedom of speech, particularly political speech is a core principle of American values. Hanging public figures, especially politicians, in effigy or doing otherwise with their image is traditional. I don't see what the big hullabaloo is--or the desperate attempt to bring in Ted Nugent or other political demonstrators protests of Obama. All well and good on both sides. What sort of pansies can't take this type political expression? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
