Kathy Griffin Thinks Comedy Should Go All Out on ‘President Piece of ****’ Donald Trump
vulture.com ^ | 12/9/16 | Shira Levine

It’s a question a lot of comedians are asking themselves lately: What should comedy look like during the Trump presidency?

{Griffin's Answer:}

"I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump - and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron."

She thinks comedy “SHOULD go all out” on Pres. Trump? Kathy, Honey, I think that ship sailed a long time ago.

I’m glad to see all Kathy’s appearances get cancelled.

I do think America’s Got Talent should feel the burn as well. They had a Trump impersonator on the show the first episode (this week). He was fine, he was funny. Nothing wrong with him. They’ve had Obama impersonators before too.

BUT THE SECOND THE AUDIENCE SAW HIM it was as if Hitler came on stage. They film the audience reactions often separately than live, and they edit. Sometimes they even make mistakes as they did that episode, where Simon Cowell is pictured seconds apart with two separate audiences behind him. Whoops. I’ve been in the audience many times of that show and I have been there when the took 30 minutes to do audience shots. “Look sad.” “Look astounded!” “Look like this was the greatest act you’ve ever seen.” “Look disgusted, like you want to vomit.” Somthey knew exactly how they were editing.

They chose to make their audience look like everyone despised the President of the United States. From the moment the impersonator walked onto the stage. I believe there was disguised booing and people were making the sign of the X with their arms.

When their Obama impersonator walked on stage years ago, the audience reaction shots they chose were people looking stunned, thrilled, and surprised (as if they thought this was the real Obama?). This time they chose people with angry disgusted faces.

And one of their judges (I think 2 or 3 are not American, only Howie Mandel is for sure American, not sure about Heidi Klum), Mel B, immediately pressed her X buzzer AS SOON AS THE TRUMP GUY APPEARED WALKING ONTO THE STAGE. This was all approved by the makers of the show or it wouldn’t have made the airing.

In the end, they all enjoyed the act. But the reaction on our summer national talent show was to be hateful and disgusted to see a representation of our President?? How can they call themselves a patriotic show?

I hope they got emails against it.

“Wow, what a stretch. I think “comedy” is already going all out against Trump....”

“Comedy” today is nothing more than a bunch of wannabes trying to make their name important. So called comedians are NOT FUNNY at all but instead mean, nasty, vile people hell bent on getting attention at another person(s)expense. Attacking someones child (in this case Barron Trump) tells me they are sick, jealous people who will do anything to get their way. I despise them, there ways and once again state, THEY ARE NOT FUNNY!

Jealousy. Rarely mentioned these days. But let me tell you, having worked at a liberal northeastern university for a few years — the place REEKed of envy. Office coworkers were jealous of everthing and everybody. Don’t dare buy a car that was better than their ugly suburus. And I wasn’t allowed to gently brag about my kids among people who think their ferrets equal my kids. So I do attribute much of libs’ trump derangement to envy.

She has made and continues to make public verbal threats against the POTUS and his family.

She needs to be detained.

Yup. I worked at the most liberal foundation in the world. They absolutely hated my stiletto heels and Norma Kamali dresses, lol! Some of us closet conservatives used to laugh at what we called the liberal jewelry of others - crappy stuff from Africa.

I hope she is getting scoped by the Secret Service.

She’s inciting.

The jealousy the leftist females have for this family is the spirit of Jezebel!

This is one sick Hollywierdo.

I Have been totally repulsed by this untalented (fill in descriptor here) since I discovered that she hosted the Homosexual Porno Film Awards Show.

“The unfunny woman tries to stay relevant.”

That is it exactly! When there is a news event that hits the papers, she attempts to attach herself to it to keep herself in the public’s eye, which explains holding up the bloody facsimile of Trump’s head. I’m thinking of when Sarah Palin’s daughter left her husband, who then garnered much publicity and was in the news a lot running down his ex and mother in law, and right away Kathy Griffin attaches herself (in more ways than one) to the husband who was newsworthy for a little while.

Hired a lawyer as much a deranged leftist as herself. That should make for a real comedy team.

She's not only Gloria Allred's daughter but has a sleazy leftist case record to match [Google Search]

They include: 1) "Trump Teen Rape Accuser" 2) "Power Lawyer Who Helped Topple Bill O'Reilly" 3) "Attorney Offers To Represent Any Elector For Free If They Face Legal Action for Dumping Trump"... etc.....

Wiki: In a modern sense, comedy (from the Greek: κωμῳδία, kōmōidía) refers to any discourse or work generally intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, television, film, and stand-up comedy. Griffin offers none of the above. She is not humorous. Rather, she is mentally ill.

I thought Obamacare provided that gun owners could be determined to be mentally ill.....and then the government could control the person’s property...

Isn’t there something we could do about this person??

"So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”

Considering the beheading photo which was already beyond the pale (albeit probably is protected-barely-by the First Amendment), that statement above, combined with reports that Barron suffered distress at seeing that picture, I would think would be actionable.

"Even a scalpel, tons of makeup spackled on and untold numbers of plastic surgery haven’t been able to eraes, cover up and destroy the ugliness of Kathy Griffin, thus proving that ugly goes deep to the bone."

Huma gave Hillary a clitorectomy and it's called Kathy Griffin.

I actually hope the Secret Service is contacting her, multiple times each day, with “...just one more question...”, and then twisting her responses back to her, in that evil way liberals seem to employ.
