Thugs are always what they want to be, but it does not mean US leadership has to gush compliments and appeasement toward them like team Trump is doing. Alt-Right and communists are an interesting alliance. We'll see how it works out. Who knows what happens when money is the uniting factor. Usually nothing good comes out of it.

And, so, you understand and confirm this idea that many people's "therapy of choice" will be laughing at nasty trump tweets and the resulting jokes, skits on SNL, cartoons... it'll be great!

The jokes told at work about the Obamas were...how do I put this inoffensively...edgier. Go ahead and scold me and my co-workers for laughing if you feel justified.

Who does KO work for these days? It seems like a very long time since I heard his name mentioned. The video has a GQ logo on the screen. He works for a men's fashion magazine? Really? I never thought of him as a snappy dresser when he was barking at O'Reilly for all of those years. Maybe it's Trump's ties that have Olbermann all shook up.

"Those that support him (meaning Trump)" obviously don't read/watch KO.

It's not possible to humiliate Trump. He proved that when he was not humiliated by the release of the P**** Tape. That tape showed what an immoral, vile person he is....and he did not care. He was not embarrassed, much less humiliated. He's a predator. Predators are never humiliated.

His hard core supporters can not be humiliated. Their complete, unquestioning devotion to the Predator-elect excludes them from being humiliated by whatever stupendously sick, idiotic and corrupt thing he does.

Someone really should inform Mr. Olbermann that, in order to be insulted or humiliated by his words, one must first value his opinion. Guess what? No one with an IQ over 70 has ANY respect for his opinion. I'm far more concerned with my dog's opinion of someone than his.

The ones about Barry, yes. The Michelle Obama jokes were mostly "fat and ugly" jokes. really cruel stuff. Sorry, but we all laughed.

In counterpart, lawyers like to tell jokes, but get really mad when you tell LAWYER jokes (I know and have told many). The brunt of the most racist Obama stuff was when I worked at a law firm (the firm where I worked was pretty racist). I now work at a school district...the Obama jokes have been pretty homogenized, but still funny. The Michelle jokes are still rampant. Not nasty or cruel, just poking fun at what she's done to our lunch menus.

Srsly. I thought we were doing away with this PC crap. IF your friends told racist jokes about the Obamas - just say so.

Easy peasy.

It's OK for Mitch McConnell to say that his #1 priority is to make Obama a one -term president, but god forbid that anyone should say something bad about "Little Hands".

I don't think so. What goes around comes around.

It's time to scrutinize every single thing " Little Hands" does

Exactly. The jokes are going to write themselves

I already bought tickets to see Lewis Black in March
