If you haven’t objected to DJTs attacks on Mexicans, Muslims, African Americans, women (and yes on their appearance) I don’t want to hear about your outrage over a comedian at the WHCD.

Yes a few of her jokes went to {sic} far: she’s a COMEDIAN. He’s PRESIDENT, and he’s not joking.



Sorry, I failed to post the text originally. She misspelled "too" but I'll cut her some slack even though she's a journalist. A lot of people's spelling has gone downhill with the advent of the computer age. I just thought this was a very succinct tweet on the subject.

The only thing she insulted was their lies.

the Kirsten Powers tweet.. I was not talking to Mobeau.

OK?

I self deleted though.. in case anyone else read my post Wrong like you did.

You honestly think I would talk to a member like that?

I'm betting Mobeau knows who I was talking about.

wrong person, wrong time. Trump is a POS. Michelle Wolf is a breath of firebreathing dragon who slew the real hypocrites. Should keep your personal attacks to yourself. Jeez. So quick to attack with nothing more than dislike of a poster.

plenty of insulting things herself. She lies as much as her boss. For a so-called Christian woman, she will have lots of 'splainin' to do when her kids grow up. Unless grandpa brain washes them, too? Daddy taught her well, lie with a straight face and do not back down. Is her obese brother still skinning stray dogs alive??

She puts a LID on all questions. Lying. Ignorance. Deflection. Sarah Huckster Sanders deserves any criticism she gets.

They just don't get it.

It's the same as the Obama/Palin lipstick on a pig issue that was deliberately Trumped up and spun into something it was not.

Was just about to post- those responses are some hot toxic sludge. I think it's mostly bots/trolls though, with a few deluded Republicans mixed in.

As with anything on Twitter/social media, never hurts to check this out: http://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/

I don't think it's a coincidence that the WHCD is a top trending topic.

you know, the consequential stuff. The WHCD is only bread and circuses.

Lets face the ones most upset about her comments were the press when she pointed out their culpability in cheetolini's election.

a following is the tough-guy, fight back, bully personality he has displayed SHS has stated he was elected because the US wanted a "strong leader".

They can't have it both ways, acting hurt when they are roasted and calling themselves "tough" when someone else is being attacked by them.

They dish it, but can't take it.

is making fun of smoky eyes worse than calling Miss Universe "Miss Piggy" because she gained weight?
Or saying that Megyn Kelly had blood coming out of her "wherever" ?

Or calling Mexicans rapists?
Or saying Africa is filled with "shithole countries"?
