After relishing the reactions to Michelle Wolf I got one thing to say

[vercetti2021]

If you can't take the same crap you dish out, then shut your mouth. End of story.

Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I can go on. I think the point is made that conservatives can't handle being ridiculed for the shit they've done, but not just them. That includes the media that created tRump and his rabid base.


I hope this is a start to dems and others to start hitting back with force. I'm sorry but the time of taking the high road is over. Only way to beat them is to beat them at their own game, but not with lies. With cold, hard facts.

Much love this Sunday.

20. Thank you Cha!

Where was the media outrage, where were Habermann's finger-wagging tweets, when Trump unleashed lying, sexist attacks on all those great women?

[Cha]

26. Yeah, I saw Habermann's tweet giving

ssanders props for not walking out.

And how about all the WH press corps for not walking out when ssanders LIES to them?

[SunSeeker]

28. Exactly!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

35. Haha...you got that right!

[Me.]

27. Perfect

[Cha]

29. Hey Me!

Backatcha!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. Yup, Wajahat Ali's comments are particularly on point.

[DippyDem]

42. Another lady put down by Drumpf....

From same Axios article about Ivana...now this implies same thing for Melania!

Ivana Trump: "I would never buy Ivana any decent jewels or pictures. Why give her negotiable assets?"

And Melania only got a happy birthday card!

[Cha]

56. Yeah, trump is top dipshit of the century by his own

stupid fucking mouth.

[smirkymonkey]

47. Hear, Hear!

Mahalo Cha!

[Cha]

57. You're Welcome,

smirky!

[uponit7771]

59. +1

[Snackshack]

2. Ditto.

[Rorey]

3. Agree. And it's not us going low.

Not when it's all true.

[oberliner]

8. Yes it is

That's fine if that is what you want to endorse, but don't pretend it's not going low. Look at Michelle Obama's full quote - when someone acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level.

[wasupaloopa]

10. Going low going high who the hell cares. We are at war with the right.

We need to win this thing and we don’t have to care about how to do it. Our very existence is at stake.

[Rorey]

11. Well, I love her

And I tried it, and I'm just not as good a person as she is. Sometimes I just get really tired.

[drmeow]

15. genuine question

I don't want to make an assumption here. Are you saying that stating the truth can still be going low if you do it in a bullying way or are you saying you felt that Michelle Wolf's speech was going low?

If the latter, follow up questions: Is a roast always going low? Is roasting the WH, the WHC, and the WH spokesperson being a bully?

I'm not saying I agree or disagree, just trying to understand your perspective.

[JenniferJuniper]

17. Have you had much experience with bullies?

Ignoring them, playing nice - doesn't work.

They need to be hit back. Hard.

[Me.]

31. That Is So True

and typical of Comrade Trump. He can't confront anyone face to face, can't even fire them himself. Backs off especially when someone challenges him.

[hatrack]

40. Oh, we'll respond with facts, right? Yeah, that'll work . . .

Get a grip.

[misanthrope]

55. How is a female comedian taking shots at those more powerful than her "bullying?"

A big kid picking on a smaller kid? That's a bully.

A boss picking on his employees? That's a bully.

[bronxiteforever]

4. Back at ya! And agree to the +10000

[pennylane100]

5. I could agree more.

[oberliner]

6. So basically the opposite of the "when they go low, we go high" approach?

I wish more people would heed the wisdom of Michelle Obama.

[vercetti2021]

9. I know what she said

But it can only go so far anymore, bullies will bully. I call this self defense.

[forgotmylogin]

13. "They go low, we go high" does not imply you're not in a brawl.

They're aiming for the groin, we're aiming for the head.

[murielm99]

16. I think we should go as low as we need to go.

And if we hit them in the head, there is nothing there but air. Aim lower.

[SunSeeker]

22. LOL

[Tribalceltic]

18. Since when is telling the truth going low?

This was a roast not a campaign event. Michelle is not a politician, she is a comedian. Comedy is one of our best tools against the lying, cheating, bigoted perverts that have stolen the government of the United States.




I enjoyed her comedy and accept it for what it was.

[SunSeeker]

23. Well said.

[MaryMagdaline]

34. I promise I won't vote for Michelle Wolf for President nor

Appoint her as Secretary of State.

[shanny]

48. We've been doing that for decades,

going high, being bipartisan, reaching across the aisle...and look where we are.

What was the definition of insanity again?

[alterfurz]

7. "chill out, Republicans...

...it was just some locker room talk." -- #WHCD tweet

[SunSeeker]

24. LOL

Is that an actual tweet?

[jalan48]

12. Michelle can really unite and fire up Democrats.

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. RW Nuts are snowflakes with the melting point of helium

And it's about to get 7th Circle of Hell hot.

[KelleyKramer]

19. When bullies get called out, they cry like babies

Where is that tiny violin logo?

[BigmanPigman]

32. Exactly...an eye for an eye, the Golden Rule,

do unto others , whatever....

They are bullies and proud of it, let's fight fire with fire (and fury).

[SunSeeker]

25. Michelle Wolf Retweets Mika Brzezinski...

@michelleisawolf
Why are you guys making this about Sarah’s looks? I said she burns facts and uses the ash to create a *perfect* smoky eye. I complimented her eye makeup and her ingenuity of materials.

@morningmika
Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable. I have experienced insults about my appearance from the president. All women have a duty to unite when these attacks happen and the WHCA owes Sarah an apology.

[MaryMagdaline]

30. Perfect reply. By the way, Mika, Huckabee has power not Michelle.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

36. The buck stops in tRump's pocket. Truman said the original buck and the kitchen quote.

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. Throw their crap back at them.. They have it coming. Miserable snowflakes.

[FirstLight]

38. right?

First, as someone who identified as a journalist for years, the whole WHCD is actually pretty cool, the scholarships, and opening statement about First Amendment make me proud.

Second, for folks to have so much angst over a 19-minute roast is ridiculous. The event itself was 3 HOURS long...

And finally, as you said, this BS behavior of the right and even dems has been going on for YEARS. OH! and NOW they are butthurt because someone actually spoke truth and burned them openly for it?
fuck you pussies!

(ps, i actually loved the pussy hat joke!)

[beachbum bob]

39. I'll be honest, at least half of her material was pretty lame...

It's one thing to have some good comedy, but really...I wouldn't spend any money to see her. As for all the outrage..well it is what it is. With so much trump stuff, she should have been funnier.

[BobTheSubgenius]

41. Don't be sorry.

They have no concept of "high road," at least in the way it is generally thought of an accepted. Always taking the "Thank you sir. May I have another?" route gets you nothing but blistered.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

43. You had to wonder what Trump was on about with that fox&friends call in'

His half hour rant . They called it a stream of consciousness. There was no stopping him,butting in,getting a word in edge wise or questing his ever changing train of thought. On in continuous for somewhat more in time than Michelle Wolf last evening. Trump's version of pay back by paying forward. You would wonder what the hell compels Trump to do and say the things he does and says. I don't , seems pretty clear to me. I suppose if you expected some kind of light hearted humor ,you may have been somewhat stunned.
Yet not so long ago during his campaign it was Trump playing the media like a fiddle ,wasn't it ? Playing or being played like a fiddle fits neatly into Trump's vocabulary and he gains gratification by it. After all he thought of it himself and acted it out.

[Miigwech]

44. Maybe they should sit at the kids table

Ms Wolf was excellent. I hope Aunt Sarah Pittypat thinks about last night every time she applies her smoky eye shadow.

[Pepsidog]

45. Agree

[Mr.Bill]

46. I enjoyed her material.

But to be honest, I wasn't fond of her timing and delivery. Her voice seemed droning and very monotone to me. But still, very funny. The Irony is that I think Obama could have delivered the material better.

If we absolutely want to nail Trump at this kind of event, I would love to see Kathy Griffin be the host. Trump's head would explode, along with many of his deplorables.

[TexasBushwhacker]

49. Normally I' m not a fan of Kathy Griffin

But she would nail that motherfucker.

[TexasBushwhacker]

50. Any chance people thought she sad that Sanders burns "fat"

instead of "facts" and that's why they are outraged?

BTW, the joke about Mitch McConnell getting his neck circumcised was hilarious.

[Efilroft Sul]

51. I hope Wolf's commentary burns them more than the worst urinary tract infection ever could.

[GeorgeHayduke]

52. M'ya. I suppose 'hitting back' is the immediate retaliatory perspective.

But, in general, we're smarter.

So, rather than employ playground rules, why not engineer a comprehensive strategy?

Stop thinking emotionally. We're all mad, but seeking simple retribution won't win awards or offices.

[Mr.Bill]

53. How did he win the office?

I don't see it as retribution or retaliation. I see it as beating them at their own game. They will have no where to go.

[GeorgeHayduke]

60. But but but.

That's not how it works!

[vercetti2021]

58. We are smart

But we need to be smart about this and beat them at their own game. Sometimes you gotta mix book and street smarts together.

[LanternWaste]

62. if anyone is thinking emotionally, it's the guy who doesn't realize what the job of a comedian is.

I think if anyone is thinking emotionally, it's the guy who doesn't realize what the job of a comedian is.

Let's stop pretending that a comedian doing her job is merely "playground rules," it serves you poorly.

We are, as you said, "smarter," no?

[Paladin]

54. +1000. No more Democrats serving as trump's punching-bags. (nt)
