This is also correct.
The material isn’t really the problem. It’s pretty unfunny stuff with no real depth.

The problem is that the left physically hates anyone who opposes their agenda and vilifies them in any way possible. The backlash continues to build and it won’t be pretty.

It’s getting to the same level. That’s kinda the point of my post. Congrats on agreeing with me.

The closest anyone came was when Bobby Jindal spoke there in 2013 and said about him not running for President again, "What chance does a skinny guy with a dark complexion and a funny name have to get elected President of the United States?"

And then, "Chris Christie pointed out that my biceps are half the size of Obama’s guns. Not the President's, Michelle’s."

"I’m looking forward to President Obama’s second term. It will be refreshing to hear him stop blaming all the country’s problems on the last four years."

"People say that the President and I both have trouble laughing at ourselves. We can't laugh at ourselves. That would be racist.

this fall will be pretty telling as to what type of backlash is real. Is it against the trump cultists? or the left?

time will tell.

I didn't really think Michelle Wolf's attacks on SHS were that bad. It was about 90 seconds of attacks. SHS had to know it was coming. If she didn't, she was an idiot. Comedy crosses lines all the time, and I didn't feel that bit crossed the line. The bit that crossed the line was laying guilt for building and making money off of trump. That is probably why it is still a news cycle.

This faux outrage on both sides is so over-done. I don't think anyone other than a small segment of the population pays attentions to these sorts of things.

And yet, in 8 years no comedian crossed the line into intimating Obama was gay, or Michael was a tranny? Trump loves Nazis is edgy and comedic, but Obama smokes the pole isn't?

isn't that the point of roasts?



There are/were lines which should not be crossed in civilized society. The point of roasts are to poke fun at, not try to destroy. Just think of the jokes about Obama, and Michelle which could have been made. You know, the type seen on the net.

Yea and that was over the course of EIGHT years but now
EVERYTHING is fair game.The hypocrisy and short memories of the left never surprises me.

It was 4D chess. Instead of the nation seeing the left roast Trump, they saw the vile left roast a poor innocent woman.

Well, I can tell you this much: while her remarks were certainly tasteless, if Michelle Wolf’s intent was to “destroy” SHS, she failed miserably. By all accounts, SHS took it like a champ at the afterparties.

So to all of those defending Ms. Wolf, guess what? You lose again.
