So what? She works on a comedy show that mocks everybody. I highly doubt she'd be fired for that.

If she was a reporter or newscaster, that would be different.

I didn't say she should be fired. If you don't want to address what I actually said, fine.

She is an ass for attacking a kid just the same as others before her.

So Trump can be mean but others can't?

How many times does it have to be stated that the 1st Amendment provides no protection from private consequences?

If he attacks a kid then yes, he would be an ass also.

It is no one's business whether she is fired or not except her employer's.

If she were my employee, I would balance her value to the company versus the bad press she brought in making my decision. I am sure NBC will do the same.

Personally, I found her comment pretty lame but only moderately offensive. Generally, the children of celebrities, whether political or entertainment are generally left alone because they cannot control their exposure to the public eye, and lacking anonymity, the offenses are more personal. It is a matter of decency.

On the other hand, 'anonymous' children are mocked and bullied mercilessly on various social media and meme sites.

Maybe,maybe not.

What benefit is it to us to have her fired?

I posted she was tacky. If that isn't strong enough language for you, that's too damn bad.

delighted to see so many trumpy folk so offended when the shoe is on the other foot.


turns out republicans don't believe in free speech, turns out they believe in free speech for alt whites and rightwingers, just all long as they like what is being said...



You right wingers are so funny, first hint of free speech from the left and you want people fired.... authoritarian are like that though, they just don't like anyone else speaking up.


I bet trump is having people examine how he can restrict the press, you can be sure if he can figure out a way he will use it.


like defunding PBS....

No. I don't think should she should be fired. The tweet was her lousy attempt to be funny. She wasn't.
