Kathy Griffin shows what every good American is thinking.

I think the debate was about whether the BBQ sauce that Kathy Griffin brought Jerry was actually more funny than the one that Jerry wanted with a face that looked like Charles Grodin on it. But I didn't think that was debatable, considering he was going on Grodin's show.

I disagree. The debate was whether or not Jerry Seinfeld really is the devil.

I prefer to believe he drops in with a comment or two, then leaves to smoke a couple bowls, then -- at his, uh, advanced age -- completely forgets what he was discussing here.
That's right, old man.

I think he's 11. But yeah, kids are off limits. Both sides need to be reminded of that from time to time.

I mean.... I don't think anyone was targeting the kid (if there's a shred of truth to that. Whicchhhhh....)

I could make an argument that the kid turning on his tv in October to see how his dad treats women would be just as appalling for the child. Was he targeting his own child with that?

Just fine. As long as Goose trolls for Trump
with faux outrage I'll be calling him a TASS stringer.

I agree with Bob about Trump's faux outrage. His son isn't in kindergarten or pre-school. Not a whisper when dear old dad was bragging about pussy grabbing in October/November '16 but the kid is very aware of the Kathy Griffin image. Maybe he's a TV addict like dad at 11-12?

And people claim no one is coming unhinged over Trump.

I'm just asking for thoughts and prayers after his sexual predator father announced to America that he had to console him.

Weren't you a little unhinged before that (R) got slapped next to his name on the ballot?

I'm not at all unhinged. I enjoy mocking him and his "christian" followers.

you may have noticed.

I'm sure Trump counseling any 11 year old male will have far more reaching consequences than any un finny washed up comedian could ever have.

Did Goose explain what the debate was about? I don't want to scroll back.

Not targeting him, necessarily, but Bob and people of his ilk seem to be totally discounting any possibility that the kid was at all traumatized by this. I don't see what anyone stands to gain by doing that. Either be sympathetic to the kid, or keep his name out of your mouth. Not that difficult.

Shouldn't the kids parents not use him as a political pawn then and not being him into it? We wouldn't be talking about any of this if they didn't say that.

I really despise Trump. I honestly believe he will harm our country in a way none of us have even figured out yet. But no matter how fucked up this guy is, for cripes sake, if an 11 year old kid saw that severed head it is traumatic. Those obama signs with gun bullseyes and shit were way over the top too. Aren't we better than that in America? don't we have greater wit? I don't get what she was going for there, but damn, it is fucked up.

I'm very sympathetic to any kid whose father brags about sexually assaulting women. This is one of the few instances where not having a father in your life is probably beneficial to the child.

and, if you have a problem with the kid being included in the conversation, you should direct your ire at his father who is the one directly responsible for it. It's the sexual predator who is using his own child as an attempt to garner sympathy while also taking advantage of the easily-manipulated right wing snowflakes.

Goosechev never had an issue with pictures of doctors performing legal abortions framed with a gun sight.

But fake severed head?
Lawdy Lawdy what about the cheeeldren?

Thought and prayers for thr littlest Trump son. I'm sure he'll weather this storm just like he's weathered weeks away from his father living in the NYC penthouse while dad lives in The White House.

One doesn't preclude the other. I also don't know that I'd consider "political pawn" to be a fair characterization here, but that's beside the point anyway. He may well be a pawn, but he's still a kid and the photo was of a severed head that looked very much like his father's. If you don't think that merits sympathy, fine (fucked up, but whatever). But it serves no positive purpose to make light of his experience.

I would argue that Griffin bears ultimate responsibility for all of this. And my problem is not with his inclusion in the conversation, my problem is with the dickishness being directed towards him. The more you double down, the more I think you're just being a fucking cockhead.

I agree. It's one thing to say that Trump should never have mentioned his son, but it's quite another to make light of the fact that the kid may have seen it, regardless of whether Trump said anything. No kid should have to see their parent portrayed like that. Same with the shit that Nugent said about Obama, and pictures of him in crosshairs, etc.

and I recall the right wing/mainstream media outrage about that.

in fact, the sexual predator was so upset about it, he invited him to the White House...

You respond as if I'm a right winger/Trump supporter?

But I'm sure you were consistent in your feelings to that, and this Kathy Griffin thing.

it was a rhetorical response.

I don't recall starting threads when Ted Nugent made threats regarding President Obama and Sen. Clinton - I know that the right is rooted in racism, bigotry, misogyny and hate. And I also know that they have a right to free speech and because I'm not some fragile snowflake who sniffles at every opportunity to be offended, I sit back and watch.

and I then openly mock them for it..

Whether you started a thread or not, I'm sure it came up, and I'm sure Democrats were outraged. And during that, I'm sure you mocked them, Obama, and his children about it.
