Week after calling for military coup, Sarah Silverman offers some advice on how to fight Trump

Last week, comedienne Sarah Silverman had to retract some comments she made about the military rising up against President Donald Trump. Silverman has been an active supporter of the “Resistance,” or “Resist” movement, which uses social media to rail against President Trump and his political policies.

“WAKE UP & JOIN THE RESISTANCE. ONCE THE MILITARY IS W US FASCISTS GET OVERTHROWN. MAD KING & HIS HANDLERS GO BYE BYE,” Silverman wrote on Twitter.

She would later walk back that statement, saying “FEAR can motivate even peacenik snowflakes 2 incite violence & last night I felt it hard.”

Shortly after the Senate voted to confirm new Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, TMZ caught up with Silverman to ask her what’s next.

“All you can do is [use] our vote and protest and see where we put our money…we’re not seen as citizens, we’re seen as consumers,” Silverman told TMZ’s cameras.

According to Silverman, she recently made a small move to do her part against money in politics.

“I took my money out of my bank and took it to a credit union,” she said. “Credit unions are not for profit, they are cooperative. They do everything a bank does…”

“Banks are for profit, they fund things like big oil, and GMO farming and stuff that I don’t believe in,” she added.

I don’t think she plays for that team.

Well, yes, and NO!

The Ancient Romans were in charge, there's NO records, in the Roman records and even NOT in all of the the Gospels, that "THE JEWS KILLED THE CHRIST". And since it took 100s of years, for the Catholic church to make that claim, which was an excuse for it to then scapegoat and worse the Jews, who were then living all over in Europe, I'll stick with what I know about ancient history and factual Medieval history.

Let’s be accurate:

Matthew 27

“1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
...
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
...
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.”

The Jews, priests and the people, had Jesus crucified. They took responsibility for it.

Acts 2 also recognizes who was responsible. Peter preaches:

“22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.”

The Roman authorities may have carried out the execution, but Jews were responsible. They arrested him, tried him, condemned him and turned him over to the Romans for execution, when the opportunity came for him to be let go, they chose instead Barrabas, full well acknowledging his blood.

I am thankful that Jesus attoned for my sin through his death, burial and desurrection. But let’s acknowledge the truth about who killed him and who took responsibility for his death.

That’s not going to work; didums; the first 4 Gospels don’t agree with each other on it. ;^)

Try using the ancient Roman write-up; they kept rather good records. :-)

Sarah Silverman thinks that President Trump and Trump voters are racist.

Isn't she funny?

You mean the troops aren’t now taking orders from General Silverman? I’m sure Mad Dog will be swayed to her side.

Honestly, can these wildly overpaid narcissists get any stupider? Do they just have low IQs or have drugs addled their once functioning brains? And why oh why do I even respond to postings like this one?

I’ll tell you who was responsible for Christ’s death.

It was because of me, and my sins. And because of you, and your sins.

May His blood be upon us, and upon our children. Because by His blood, we are healed.

“..can she be picked up and escorted to a treatment asylum..”

...short of reeducation, an interim solution for her and hundreds if not thousands of her traveling companions might be an indeterminate stay at an unused sports stadium.

"What happened to the money from the acting jobs?"

Her role in "A Million Ways To Die In The West" was probably her finest work. 'Nuff said!

She also missed the point that the Military, and Vets, are 100 % behind Trump

It’s getting harder and harder for a lot of these celebrities to keep their crazy from leaking out into the public. They don’t seem to realize that every time they speak about politics they are alienating about half the people that pay their check.
