There is NO reason for anyone to support what she said from Democrats.
There is another post that said that we should and I strongly disagree..
She'll always be my favorite.
He had it coming, with all his hate and lies, attacking Obama and Clinton, grabbing women, and finally, ruining the world with his scorched-earth policies.
fRump's supporters foment violence, which she didn't. Hate crimes and violent assaults for racial reasons are very real. Many people will actually die under fRump's cutbacks, and he and his followers don't care at all.
So, this is a support thread for Kathy: Always honest, always human, always speaking up for sanity in the face of ignorance.
Hang in there, Kathy. Let it go and you'll find this news is nothing compared to what's comiing
We, as Democrats must NEVER stoop to the level of the other party. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE DISGUSTING STATEMENT SHE MADE.

(4,987 posts)It was a bridge too far. Beheading a living human being is the most vile and inhuman procedure I can think of. It has no place in my USA.

It was ugly and it was "vile" (to use Chelsea Clinton's words)

(132,582 posts)of people misjudged and voted for Trump. And some of them will die when the black lung means they have a preexisting condition so their state will kick them out of affordable insurance when they are 60. And they will die. Both are bad decisions. Only one will go on and on and on and hurt for years. I have a soft spot for her because she did a great comedy bit right before the election to try and stop millions from making the vote Trump mistake. And to fire up the Democrats to vote. On the whole she has tried to do good. I think that counts for something.

(8,514 posts)What's going on is making sane people think crazy thoughts. Every time I see that yuck pretending he's president, I have to remind myself that it's real. As unbelievable as it is, it's real.
We should TRY to refrain from stooping to the level of the other party. We might slip once in awhile. We're only human.

(2,857 posts)I really don't care about what she did. She is a different sort of human than I am with her comedienne stuff going on. Many are alcoholics, drug users or just sad people hiding behind the laughs. They have a different reality than I do, but the 2 things I thought of was the beheading of Royalty during revolutions back when such things happened and the Queen yelling "OFF with her HEAD!" about Alice in Alice in Wonderland. Neither of those associations bothered me just because I don't care. It's nothing any worse than what was done to Obama.
She will bounce back. I still won't like her any more or less..

(3,425 posts)I cannot believe the hype her message has caused, especially when looking at all the misery and death his policies on health and welfare will cause for all the poor and working class families. I think his head on a platter is a fitting end for such a monster.

BACK AT YOU, MOTHERFUCKERS!
TRUMP, FUCK -YOUR- FEELINGS!

(4,187 posts)Seriously, "Fuck your feelings"? Is that what the United States is now? The land of sociopaths?
We should have put a stop to this long ago, when the right wing first started attacking political correctness. Because in the end, being against political correctness means being in favor of offending people -- in other words, not giving a damn about others' feelings. Every liberal who jumped on the "politically incorrect" bandwagon is partly guilty for Trump's presidency. In a country where people respected others and cared about other people's feelings, Trump wouldn't have even gotten close to winning the presidency.
Love and compassion are the highest human feelings. They are the basis of our society -- the reason we live in communities rather than alone in the wild. Love and compassion will save the world, not sociopathy and egotism. We liberals have to stop stooping to the level of the deplorables and embrace love, compassion, and kindness, the way Hillary Rodham Clinton tried to do.

She's not even as trenchant a political comic as the old Smothers Brothers.
No love lost for her.
But the odd thing? Who really should care what this D-lister did or does?

frankieallen
(583 posts)What did she expect was going to happen? and anyone defending her actions here is a hypocrite. Just think of the reaction if Dennis Miller did what she did with Obama.
Most here that are defending her stupidity would be the first to say he deserves what he gets, that racist f**k !!
This is the kind of thing that makes us look ridiculous, in my opinion.
