So Samantha Bee called Ivanka a feckless c-word. Donald gets on twitter and demands SB be fired but.....

So will Trump be resigning this week?

Ivanka is fair game but Bee’s comment crossed a line, and she should face criticism.

This is not up to Trump. Let Bee’s sponsors and TBS decide how to handle it. She has already lost two sponsors.

and the second part about Trump calling the reporter the same c-word??
Two wrongs make a right? I believe a wise man once said when they go low you go high. Stooping to Trump’s level does not help the conversation, and if anything just strengthens the resolve of his base.

I believe that wise man who said that was wrong. Look what it got us. I say f*ck that c*nt Ivanka and the horse she rode in on. It's about time people started calling these Trump's what they are. Why hasn't a major Democratic politician called Trump a pathological liar yet? The midterms are skipping away because lefties are going too high and not calling a Spade a Spade

I didn't say that. In fact SB was wrong for doing it. My question if SB is held accountable how is Trump held accountable for the exact same thing?

Millions of people should be marching on DC with pitch forks to throw the Tromplicans out, but they’re not. Mean while the more people call the scumbags scumbags the better in my opinion. They need to be in prison for separating mothers from their kids. The c word is flattery. Calling the President a shit throwing ape is another complement.

By keeping the pressure on and appealing to a higher order of ethics. Presenting candidates that chip away at his coalition and give you enough votes to impeach him, and if that fails, relentless pressure to corner him in.

The resistance initially had a great playbook that was working amazingly well. The women’s march. Relentless protests outside of Trump Tower. Voter registration drives. Well written articles and editorials in major newspapers that intelligently kept the pressure on. Trump year one, the response and mobilization was impressive.

Then it sort of lost its focus.

And yet, Trump survived and continues to shape the narrative.

I don’t believe this strategy will work

Much of the world isn't impressed with our excuses from any party. Not good.

No one would give a shit about what Samantha Bee if not for Roseanne. This is just some simple whataboutism.

I wonder what all the free speech chuds have to say about this one, since a sitting President criticizing the speech of a private citizen is a rather obvious 1st amendment issue.

Bee was wrong. Should have said that about daddy

She was right actually. But yeah, Iv's daddy is a cont too.

The WH should never be involved in the employment of a private citizen.

Well maybe Bee should have used that big brain of hers to anticipate how her comment might distract from the news cycle focused on Roseanne.

Now Trump is once again controlling the narrative.

Something about not interrupting your enemy while he is in the middle of making a mistake comes to mind.

Kathy Griffin wrote a very interesting Twitter thread the other day. Remember when she held up the severed Trump head and was subsequently "blackballed"?

Turns out, the venues she was performing at didn't cancel her shows because of public protest or because they objected to the photos. They canceled her shows because after the President and first family tweeted about it, the venues started getting all kinds of harassment from chuds and pepes, including bomb threats.

But yeah, the real threat to fee speech in this country is white nationalists not having a loud enough microphone. Fuck all these people, fuck anyone that ever bitches about free speech and doesn't criticize this shit first.

So instead of waiting for the state censorship, we should self censor first? Fuck that. Bee was right, Ivanka is a cont. She was wrong to apologize.
