Well, now I am sad. It seems Kathy Griffin thinks she is being picked on.
She feels Trump and his family are bullies because they didn’t like what she did with her little photo joke. It seems the “in your face” comedian that does what she does for the reaction she gets did not like the reaction she got.
The reaction, but for from a few, was a lot of booing. She was booed off the stage, as it were. However, in Hillary Clinton form, she now blames everyone else… especially the Trump’s… for her stupidity. SHE is being… bullied.
Now, to recap, Griffin makes a living off of attacking people or institutions (almost always conservative or religious) and she does it on a national, media forum. She gets microphones and cameras to aid in her “jests”. When she does her little jokes, the targets rarely get the opportunity to respond in kind and IF they do, they are usually accused of being “poor sports”. Ultimately, she always has “what’s the matter, can’t you take a joke?” to fall back on.
So, Kathy has had the deck stacked in her favor her entire career. Alas, she forgot she was mortal and told jokes too close to the sun. Ouch… that burns.
In some version of Kathy’s world, she imagined that Donald Trump, the guy that goes nuclear on those who seek to embarrass or hurt him, would just well up with tears when Kathy showed his severed head in her hand, making whatever statement she was thinking she was trying to make, wet his pants and succumb to her superior intellect. His actual reaction comes as something of a surprise to her, apparently.
His reaction? He Tweeted she should be ashamed.
Bullying.
Now, she feels she is broken. Ruined. Beset upon from all sides. She is subjected to treatment no other person has had to endure, says she. Furthermore, she says… WARNS… that if this can happen to her, it can happen to anyone. However, I get the distinct impression that what is most important is that it is happening to her… and it stings a bit.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not recall Kathy’s outrage when Lord Obama was using the IRS as a political weapon, wielded against his conservative opponents. I have also forgotten the numerous times she stepped up and protested those attacking anyone that does not enthusiastically embrace same sex “marriage” as leftists destroy their jobs, families and businesses out of sheer spite. In light of her current view on being retaliated against for her “beliefs”, I am sure I missed it and would appreciate it if someone would point those episodes of Kathy-bravery out to me.
As we are repeatedly reminded, one thing the absolutely abhors, will not and cannot tolerate is having their own tactics used against them. Though one of their tactics is to bring those tactics out of the opposition and then whine about getting paid back in their own currency, when the tactics are used with effect, the left complains loudly how inhumane such tactics are. For instance, the left frequently employs voter fraud yet when they lose, this is one of their excuses: the victors used their own tactics against them (though they have no proof or actual belief; Hillary, of course, being liberal loyalty, gets to use ALL the excuses at once).
Poor, poor Kathy. Her “in your face” act outraged enough people where she suffers the loss of jobs, loss of revenue, threat of boycott against anyone that employs her. Aww… just like what happens to bakers, pizza parlor owners and those who offer theme-wedding venues when they won’t bow to liberals and their demands.
Kathy and Hillary should put an act together and go on the road. They can blame everyone else for the consequences of their own behavior. It won’t be funny, of course, but exactly how it that different from Kathy’s current act?
So, I’m sad. I’m sad she is not destitute yet and that NO other leftist will learn the lesson.
Just a regular, run-of-the-mill guy. I worked in the RV business while going to college and after before I got a job in a cabinet shop in the corporate aviation business. There I worked for 37 years doing cabinetry, service, airframe, finish, paint and upholstery work. I’m now retired. I’ve been married for almost 50 years (to the same gal, my high school sweetheart), have two daughters and 8 grandchildren. I’ve been conservative all my life, even before I knew what conservative was; it was just the right way to be.
she can still face felony three charges for threating a US President. one must consider her drug history not as a cause but an ongoing probem
Many times recently I have heard” she is a D level comedienne just looking for attention”. Well I agree and she got attention. She needs to just go away and maybe take HRC with her.
How many times have we heard, ”the children (of presidents) are off-limits?”
Lots of times.
But what did Kathy G. say?
Dec 2016:
And how’d that work out?
“Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!” Pres Trump tweeted.
She planned just that effect:
And she thought that had to be the end to it.
But she’s been wrong from the start.
Picking on a child is universally viewed as wrong.
maybe she should take her show to Iraq and hold up the decapitated head of the supreme leader
@Nanny G: Of course children of any politician should be off limits; they have nothing to do with any of the issues. However, the way it is viewed by the left is the children of LIBERALS are off limits. The children and spouses of any Republican is fair game.
In other words, liberals are hypocritical, scumbag liars.
@Bill… Deplorable Me: Talk about “scumbag liars” Have you noticed the way FA Trumpists treat Michelle Obama.? Reactionary Trumpists are the lowest form of life just like liar Trump. Today were the first nails in his coffin–Go party in Palm Beach you charlatan.
@NOT EVEN PEOPLE: No, I haven’t. I have seen criticisms of her ham-handed attempts to be more oppressive than Obama, her racist statements before students and her America-hating ideology. I have seen her socialist agenda criticized. But, we have not seen their children attacked merely for being the children of people trying to destroy the nation.
@Bill… Deplorable Me: Moochelle —“looks like an ape in heels.”
You’re an example of a blind partisan without credibility.
Trump won’t make 4 years in office—good riddance–never should have got nom. indies and sane Repubs are deserting him–as expected 38% approval and cratering Karma.
I see Rich is still quoting D+10 polls when the latest partisan breakdown according to Gallup is R+1.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx
@another vet: Gallup today WED. Trump 38% approve 57% disapprove The worst I’ve seen. Sane Repubs-like yourself?–and Indies are leaving the sinking ship.
@NOT EVEN PEOPLE: Moderation hammer once again for pulling a sock puppet act Rich….once again.
@NOT EVEN PEOPLE: What are the internals in their polls? Did you check? If they aren’t R+1 something isn’t right. I assume in 1993 you made the same predictions about Bill Clinton, correct?
http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-rating-better-bill-clintons-first-term-621853
@another vet: Used your favorite Gallup daily tracking—DT aint no Bill Clinton.lol
Give it up AV –emerge from the darkness–Trump is toast.
@NOT EVEN PEOPLE: Who said that? Me? No, not me and I stand by what I said… children and spouses should not be brought into any of this solely by virtue of them being children or spouses.
Now, let’s see YOUR unequivocal denunciation of Maher, Griffin, Letterman and all the other leftists who attack children.
Your dream of falsely undermining a legitimate election is rapidly fading. All the Intel chiefs say you are grasping at lying liberal straws. Stop whining and crying and support the restoration of our nation Obama and the rest of the left have tried so desperately to destroy.
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People: The difference being that Clinton had a liberal media cheering section while the media has dropped all pretenses of objectivity and fairness in attacking Trump while ignoring positive facts.
Obama had high ratings despite bad outcomes; Trump has bad ratings despite positive outcomes. Do the math.
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People: You’ve told us that how many times now and have been wrong EVERY time? Meaning, IF you manage to get it right this time, you will only be partially vindicated. Your latest getting it wrong was claiming Trump lied about being told three times by Comey that he wasn’t under investigation. Does that mean Comey lied? No, because he never made the statement. It was a statement made an anonymous source that CNN reported as being true (fake news) and that you used to repeat here making you part of the left wing fake news echo chamber.
I said before, if there is proof beyond a reasonable doubt of high crimes and misdemeanors (saying “I hope” falls far short), I will back impeachment. If not, I will accuse everyone promoting the idea of sedition and subversion. Fair enough?
By the way, that was a really comical attempt at trying to disguise your identity. It does say something about you.
Lots of “moderation” going on here. Why?
@Bill- Deplorable Me: RT and AV “NOT EVEN PEOPLE” is of course what that slick backed kid called Dems and others who oppose his father.
i’m sure Deplorable understands.
AV Would agree “I hope” isn’t prosecutable. Think this whole circus should be left to Mueller without ANY interference–chips fall where they may—-it can’t be waived off by Trump, his sons et al—–agreed?
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People: Judging by the violent protests and fascist tactics they employ, that would largely be a true statement. They AREN’T people.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: Knew you’d understand DEPLORABLE.
btw slick back Eric better watch his own “charitable” endeavors.
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People:
Exactly and nor should it be “guilty until proven innocent” like you and the left advocate. It is to the point now with all of these false allegations that IF there were something tangible, it’ll be regarded as another attempt to overturn the election (i.e. a coup) and may serve as a catalyst for something far graver- ala the modern equivalent of Ft. Sumpter.
@another vet: Calm down AV.
Trump has fueled this fire with his ‘witch hunt’ and fake news commentary and his treatment of adversaries in general. The large majority of Americans plainly don’t like him.
or his sons slick back junior ‘Flynn stuff is BS.”
Why your SUDDEN distrust of Gallup daily tracking?–you loved it when Trump was 10 points higher.
I’ll go with Mueller’s findings–will you?
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People:
What do you call it when when the media says he’s under investigation when he’s not?
What do you call it when the media says “collusion with Russia” because there was contact after the election when the former FBI Director says it’s normal for foreign governments to have contact with the incoming administration and viseversa (a well known fact to everyone except those on the left at least)?
What do you call it when the media says “scandal” when Kushner talked about back channel comms with Russia when Trump haters like Clapper say it’s normal?
What do you call it when the media says Trump lied when he said Comey told him three times he wasn’t under investigation and then Comey’s own testimony states he told Trump three times he wasn’t under investigation?
What do you call it when the media said Trump lied about Obama surveilling him and then it comes out how Obama and company indiscriminately surveilled millions of Americans, including Trump?
What do you call it when the media says Comey will testify that Trump ordered him to stop the Flynn investigation and then per Comey’s testimony no such order was ever given?
There are more examples but those are some. Not all of us are stupid to believe everything the MSM puts out and we don’t need Trump to tell us how slanted they are to the left. We knew this well before he threw his hat in the ring to run for POTUS.
Here we go again. I don’t trust their figure because it contradicts their R+1 partisan breakdown. Do you honestly believe Trump would be at 37% approval if an R+1 sample was used? I don’t recall Gallup ever having Trump at 10 points higher so how could I love it?
Thought I answered that already.
I’m not the one coming here in hysterics on a daily basis screaming for blood citing debunked sources.
@another vet: You seem to be “stupid enough” to believe the lies that Trump puts out on a regular basis. fortunately the majority of Americans clearly disagree with your assessment..
I know I know its the lame stream media’s fault that poor DT is so disliked and distrusted—Trump merely needs to look in the mirror to see the problem.
And the truth is you know this AV.
You saying you didn’t cite Gallup when it had Trump at 48% approval?
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People:
It’s on you to point out the lies. I already provided a list of some of the ones you’ve supported from the MSM. 65% of Americans believe the MSM promotes fake news making YOU in the minority.
I cited two Gallup polls that showed the D+10 samples being used were bullshit. The 48% poll I cited was Rasmussen. It’s on you to prove your accusation about Gallup.
@Rich Wheeler Not Even People:
Oh, NOW you liberals want to worry about corruption in charities? Sheesh.
You liberals overlooked the most corrupt “charitable” organization in history (Clinton Foundation) and supported the head criminal for President. If hypocrisy was ice, you could cure your phony global warming crisis.
