Fuck this faux outrage against Michelle Wolfe. She did what she was hired to do. They knew who she was and what her style was before she was hired for the gig, which by the way is a celebration of the freedom of the press and speech. Sounds like she did exactly what she was hired to do. And the outrage is simply hypocritical given the GOPs silence and complicity with Trump's years of inappropriate comments, bullying, insults, racism, misogyny and lies. Until the GOP calls out and censures Trump for his inappropriate actions and speech, this Wolfe drama is a nothingburger. A total smokescreen and a distraction."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080

So wait, since the republicans are hypocrites and expressing “faux outrage” against Michelle Wolfe....then it’s ok to ignore Michelle Wolfe and people like her actions? This is the same old “he hit me first” bullshit. Bunch of hypocrites is right.
of course trump is an asshat and him name-calling and saying the press are liars is wrong....what’s that again about 2 wrongs?
and again the worst part is the media has again stooped to trumps level, given his hypocritical base more ammo. Stupid play. We’ve seen this game before and it’s a game trump has been winning. He can’t win with brains and ideas, he need name calling and diversions.hippiemom = goodness0 -
I didn't say two wrongs make a right, or that she's excused from anything she might ever say because of Trump's history. I said that the GOP's outrage is completely phony and hypocritical. And I honestly didn't find Wolfe's routine over the top. Look back at politicians getting roasted at these events previously. Last year Hasan Minjah was told not to go after Trump, but did anyway. Seth Meyers completely roasted Trump when Trump was a shitty reality TV host and the chief birther conspiracy propagator. In 2006 at the same event Stephen Colbert roasted G.W. Bush's ass. This stuff is nothing new. The only difference this year is that the GOP are hyper sensitive and are trying to turn this into some sort of scandal to take heat and focus away from their corrupt supreme leader."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please."

One is a comedian... one is the friggin POTUS
Just a little bit of a difference there0 -
Exactly. The two wrongs don't make a right argument flies in the face of that fact. Republicans elected the worst person imaginable. That isn't any comedian's fault.my2hands said:One is a comedian... one is the friggin POTUS

Well that is certainly true. Doesn't really fly in the face of that fact. But certainly the POTUS doing crap like that is way worse.JimmyV said:

Context is everything. She was literally taking part in a roast. That is pretty much the only time when such jokes ARE appropriate... I don't understand why people suddenly forgot what roasts are.cincybearcat said:jeffbr said:Fuck this faux outrage against Michelle Wolfe. She did what she was hired to do.

How anyone is confusing that with how the POTUS acts on a day to day basis is beyond me. This is not a situation of two wrongs at all. It's one wrong (POTUS and friends) and one right (Michelle Wolfe).

MORE APPROPRIATE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ ASSOCIATION DINNER JOKES FOR 2019
Good evening, and welcome to the 2019 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. After last year’s uproar, I’ve been instructed to use only dignified language and humor considered appropriate for our current cultural discourse.
Low-IQ crazy Kellyanne Conway is here tonight. Kellyanne came to Mar-a-Lago three nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has also graced us with her presence. She gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem.
I see Fox News in the back, which is a failing pile of garbage and the enemy of the American people. I never watch Sean Hannity, who I once called “the dumbest man on television!”
A few members of the Trump cabinet showed up this year, such as Liddle Jeff Sessions, who lied to Congress under oath. He is an untruthful slimeball. And there’s Mike Pence, who is weak, both physically and mentally. Don’t threaten gay people, Mike!
I’m so glad to see the Trump family represented. Let’s see, there’s Crooked Don Jr., who embarrassed himself and the country with his email lies. I refuse to call Ivanka Trump a bimbo, because that is not politically correct. And let’s not forget Eric, who should be forced to take an IQ test. Not very bright.
As for the First Lady, I did try and fuck Melania. She was married. I moved on her like a bitch. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.In closing, I will reserve my most civil words for the president himself, who has finally made an appearance at this dinner. Bad (or sick) guy!

^^^ That is fantastic. I hope it goes viral. I haven't seen anything else highlight how ludicrous the right wing reaction to that dinner is so well.
