I don’t understand why people want to fire her. Fire her for what? Making a joke? That’s her job. This joke was in poor taste, but we can’t fire every comedian that makes a joke that lands flat or hits a soft spot.

EDIT: I’m no longer responding to Frink but to the hypothetical people who do want her fired.

Welcome to the world of fair game. When people in the public eye say unethical things about a child, the company has every right to relieve her of her post.

Those sentences seem contradictory to me. If it’s a world of fair game, it’s fair game for company to fire someone for joking about Barron Trump because Barron isn’t fair game?

If it happens to other public figures it should happen to her.

It shouldn’t happen to other public figures. There shouldn’t ever be big witch hunts against people because we don’t like what they’ve said.

And I certainly did not consider what she said a joke.

It was.

I get that. If it was meant as a joke, she should have chosen a far less harmful topic and form of delivery.

Trump seems to be signing an absolute shitload of executive orders despite having the entire government mostly in agreement with his policies.

and here I thought Republicans didn’t like rule by executive orders. I thought they wanted Congress to have a say in these things.

It’s okay when it’s their guy, but not when it’s a legally, democratically-elected President who’s being gaslit by the republican majority who openly vowed to gaslight him at every turn.

It’s a legally, democratically-elected Republican President that will have his own Congressional issues.

That is matter of opinion. Sure, he was legally elected. But is it really a democratically-elected when the majority of the voters didn’t vote for him?

In our democracy, yes he is.

technically, we are not a democracy. We are a democratic republic.

Then he is demoratic-republically elected. Regardless, he was legally elected, so the rest is all semantics.

I agree he was legally elected. But I am not so sure that the rest is all semantics.

Will this help make you sure?

Definition of semantics

the study of meanings:a : the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the signification of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic developmentb (1) : semiotics (2) : a branch of semiotics dealing with the relations between signs and what they refer to and including theories of denotation, extension, naming, and truth

Ugh, Barron Trump should not be a target.

Already posted about it.

I’m having a hard time forming a strong position on either side, probably because I actually thought the joke was funny. On one hand, Barron Trump is only like 10, and he may(?) be on the autism spectrum. On the other hand, he’s the son of the most powerful man in the world. I suppose it all comes down to whether making fun of Barron is “punching up” or “punching down”, or whether or not you subscribe to the “punching up/down” idea at all.

My big problem is with the people calling for her to be fired, it reeks of hypocrisy. All these anti-PC right-wingers immediately flip the script because it’s someone they like being joked about.

Maybe Barron should be asked how it made him feel. She should be canned especially if someone’s life can be uprooted and ruined for something they might have said 30 years prior(Paula Dean). This woman is fair game too. He’s 10yrs old regardless of whose child he is. If someone said that about my daughter I’d be going to jail in the short amount of time it would take me to knock someone’s teeth out.

The electoral college was a counter-measure built in by the founders to help prevent a populist leader from taking office. The system failed.

The system did not fail. It just did not provide the outcome you would have liked. It happens every 4 years man, LOL, and every one is a crap shoot.

The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions has postponed the vote on Trump’s education pick Betsy DeVos, hours after receiving the completed ethics review for the Michigan billionaire.

The committee vote, originally scheduled to take place Tuesday has been rescheduled for Jan. 31 at 10 a.m., according to a statement from the HELP committee chairman Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). The announcement arrived after the Office of Government Ethics, an agency that examines nominees’ financial disclosures and resolves potential conflicts of interest, released its long-awaited report Friday. Alexander said he wants to give each Senator on the committee time to review the documents.

Ethics Director Walter M. Shaub Jr. had said a full vetting of extremely wealthy individuals, such as DeVos, could take weeks, if not months, much to the chagrin of Senate Democrats who wanted to review it before DeVos’s confirmation hearing, which took place Tuesday evening.

Source.

Good. America needs an educated populace that can take the jobs that are replacing jobs lost to automation and progress, and DeVos is very likely not the one to deliver that America.

It would be nice to see some more of these ethics reports done on the rest of the insanely rich cabinet, most of which have ties to large corporations in conflict with their interests concerning the country.

These ethics reports you’re so happy about should be mandatory for ALL in lead government positions, not just the ones we may not like.

As you know, it is not the Popular Vote that elects a President so I find your point a bit moot. It’s okay that you’re not happy about it but he was elected by the lawful process this nation uses to determine this.

It’s a legally, democratically-elected Republican President that will have his own Congressional issues. Besides, it never stopped Obama from using Executive Privellege to get what he wanted so I am unsure as to why it’s even a topic of dicsussion.

Dear God, they’re arguing about attendance numbers again.

Amazing.

I saw this on Twitter the other day, where it was billed as supposedly coming from inside the press corps. or something, but since I can’t verify that I’m not going to attribute it to anything. Regardless, it seems very accurate.

How did you get ahold of the alternative DNC Presedential Race agenda? I thought Donna B. shredded all this stuff. 😉

I don’t know how something posted on twitter could be considered anything less than hearsay. I mean, can it actually be verified, that it is what it says it is?

That seems like a nice example of modern liberals; hypocrites who preach “tolerance” when things go the way they want, and intolerant, quick to insult and acting like spoiled kids when things do not go the way they want.

If I were to generalize as grossly as you do, I would say that your post was a nice example of modern conservatives. But I’m not like that.

You actually do generalize when it comes to Trump supporters so you might want to rephrase yourself, LOL.

From that same article:

Interestingly, CNN’s Jake Tapper tweeted in response to Rich’s original tweet: “That it even need be said is ridiculous, but mocking the 10-year-old child of a politician you loathe is odious, immoral, & self-defeating.”

I think CNN needs to give Jake Tapper a break as well as it appears he agrees with the SNL writers sentiment on homeschooled children being violent shooters when they grow up.

😦

I have no idea how you got there. He was condemning the original tweet by Rich.

“That it even need be said is ridiculous, but"

^This is how I got there. To me, it sounds as if he agees the homeschool suggestion is so true, that it need not be said … as in it’s obvious. Now, I’m not saying that is what he meant, it is how I perceive what he wrote. This isn’t his first rodeo and certainly would not be the first controversial thing he’s said openly.

^^^^^Such an inane comment. I’d bet almost every political leader in the world has hand picked at least one group of people to ask questions.

LMMFAO

^Something you and I actually agree on.

With all the people not in the labor force it would be nice to see a change that allows those people to get work, stay working, and afford to care for their families properly on their own. It would give our country a well needed confidence boost and we certainly need it.

Also, Sean Spicer is handling himself rather well, especially considering the crowd he was given.

That “crowd” is made up of professional journalists, whose job it is to ask questions Mr. Spicer might not like, and keep him on his toes. It is not, nor should it ever be a love fest.

Of course it is. I don’t remember saying it was or should be a love fest. If I did, please point it out. He is getting hammered and he’s keeping up. He earned his pay for sure regardless of how you feel about Republicans or the President.
