So I’m glad your kids are having a hard time dealing with Kathy Griffin’s tweet.
Yeah nah. You're an asshole.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Fired comedian Kathy Griffin weeps: 'Trump broke me'

US comedian Kathy Griffin has tearfully said she fears her career is over after CNN fired her for posing in a photo with a prop meant to resemble the severed head of President Donald Trump.



(continued)
I have no issue with her severed head routine. Who cares? It's just a performance art thing. So what? They've hanged effigies of Presidents and set them on fire - at least once it was done right in front of the White House. Good!

That said, Griffin can fuck off with the "Trump broke me" nonsense - he didn't do anything to her. She's full of shit. And, then she's calling him a bully? Well, honey-baby, if you're going to go around suggesting the beheading of the President, I think the guy's entitled to suggest that you're out of line for doing it.... grow a pair of ovaries, and woman-up. You want to play in this league, then don't start crying for the camera for sympathy, and complaining that women are the only ones that would get shit for doing this kind of stunt.

My thought on it is that her first mistake was apologizing at all. She should have owned it, and said that she did it, she's not sorry, it was just a stunt, and if you didn't like it, then fine, opinions vary. These folks never learn. The mob never wants your apology for anything other than breathing life into their mobbery. They want to feed on the apology. They use apologies as proof positive that there is no dispute that you did something wrong. If you did something wrong, then you should be punished. Don't admit doing something wrong. Tell the mob to fuck off.

Trump proves that today's minor celebrity can very well become the next President of the United States.

I absolutely agree. She shouldn't have folded and apologised. She should've ask Trump where his apology was when he mocked the disabled, implied someone should take care of Hillary, and started a lie about Obama's birth.
There are double standards everywhere. The Democrats would have had a field day on a comedian who held up the severed and bloody head of Barack Obama. If that happened, the person who did it would have been destroyed. Or, like when Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is vandalized, the head of the Los Angeles Police Commission laughs and says "i'm down with that." http://www.tmz.com/2017/05/09/l-a-polic ... vandalism/

You can't agree with a word. Words are words, with meanings, usages and connotations. You cannot agree with words, you can only agree with certain sentences that make assertions with which you hold agreement. Therefore, you do not agree with "every word." You may well agree with each point I made. I expect you to correct your mistake and admit that you don't and can't agree with each and every word, but that you agree with each and ever point and assertion I made. Until you do that, you are hereby dubbed disingenuous, unwilling to admit you are wrong, unable to understand the English language, etc.

Just kidding.
