F**k these people.

I just want to comment on this post for a second, because you’ve taken the stupid views of a guy who proposed to Ariana Grande after dating for 5 weeks and somehow peanut buttered that as some sort of liberal shadow agenda for hating military vets?

Dude... you gotta turn it down a little. We’re all Americans, and what divides us isn’t as good vs evil as you seem to think it is. This guy is a moron, and the skit fell very flat on that joke, but comedians are famous for doing stupid sh$t like that. It’s not the first time it’s happened, and it won’t be the last. But good god, it doesn’t mean a bunch of liberal elite NBC Democratic donors are laughing themselves to sleep thinking about the Navy SEAL they just mocked... turn off the Fox News for a little bit and try to think about things through an a non polarizing political viewpoint, it might help us actually imagine some future where we reverse this really awful trend we’re in where everyone is either a liberal or a conservative and if you’re one, your job is to try to make the other look like hitler

Because when you say, “#^&#^&#^&#^& these people” over a bad joke on a midnight comedy show... i just feel sorry for you

dude, i don’t gotta do anything.

this was a scripted skit on a major, mainstream network. not in some fringe show.

the put the mans photo on world tv, and made fun of the way he looks, and he only looks different, because he served three combat tours. if he has kids, how do you suppose this makes them feel?

as of last night, neither this comic nor SNL nor NBC has apologized.

i am well
aware, and saddened, by how divided we are. i think the SNL skit is a lot more divisive than my contempt for it.

you are of course, free to disagree.

“he lost his eye in war, or whatever”.

i personally love the “or whatever”, let’s downplay, or even outright question, how the Seal got hurt.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, please stop mister comedian, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

a new low.

Obama speaking to those "more highly educated democrats" the other night....


“Don’t be Charlie Brown. Don’t fall for the okey doke. Don’t be bamboozled. Don’t be hoodwinked. Because when you get distracted, while you’re distracted with all this stuff they’re making up, they’re also robbing you blind. It will be like, look, look, look over there, and then they’re giving tax cuts to billionaires,” Obama added.

I give this troubled kid a pass. When you joke about your own fathers death (twin towers) there really is no boundaries that you won’t cross.

As disgusting as it was, why isn't this snowflakish?

[scottw]

obama has a new message for the democrat snowflakes ahead of big event this week ..he said..."don't be humpty dumpty and do the hokey pokey....aaaand...be sure to vote on wednesday"

because a snowflake is someone who is upset that someone else disagrees with them. when snowflakes at uconn needed counseling to deal with the fact that Ben Shapiro was invited to speak, thatbwas stupid, because Shapiro wasn’t insulting any of them directly.

SNL put on national TV, the photo of a fellow citizen, a real person, and mocked his appearance, which he cannot help.

Snowflakes get upset for no reason. This isnt that, and i’m pretty sure you know that.

In my opinion this has nothing to do with politics,just poor judgement.

Jim, snowflake doesn't have a real meaning, the point is just to be petty and immature, that's why it's used.

wikipedia...

"Snowflake as a slang term involves the derogatory usage of the word snowflake to refer to a person. Its meaning may include a person perceived by others to have an inflated sense of uniqueness or an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or to be over-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions."

if you call a snowflake a snowflake and they begin to cry or otherwise emote...I'd say it has real meaning and is probably in line to be banned as a term of verbal violence

So is it ok when Thrump says Collins (a NY Times op ed writer) has the face of a dog or something similiar or mocks that fat woman he doesn't like

1 is the Pres. of the US and the other is a comedian who may have mental issues (which there has been news reports for some time prior to this about). I didn't know his father died in 9 11.

It is not something you or I would say but that is what comedians do. Some jokes are funny, some fall flat, some insult, some they wish they prob. didn't say.

they do? show me other comedians who show pictures of wounded vets, and then make fun of the injuries they received in combat? i haven’t heard of this.

and if he’s that cruel and deranged, in addition to not being funny, why does NBC employ him?

also this week, an MSNBC crew set up at a polling station, and all their gear was set up
in a handicapped parking spot. a wounded vet could not park, asked them to move, and they said no because they were ready to broadcast.

bad optics.

Let's face it...SNL hasn't been funny in quite some time.
Because of that they tend to pull the "off-colored humor" card out of their comedy vault and try to stir up viewership by insulting them.

Remember the adage "You can say good things or you can say bad things about me, but just keep talking about me"?

They don't really care about the integrity level or the intelligence level of their material, as long as it "stirs the pot" and makes people comment.

I'm not thin-skinned, and can take a joke like anyone else, but there has to be a line where they cross over to bad taste and this is one of those times.

It clearly is one of those times, but to link that to a shadow liberal agenda to discredit his candidacy or devalue veterans is a similarly bad taste line to draw

although if his dad was killed in 9/11 maybe that’s why he’s such a jerk. anybody could be ruined by that. but someone should tell him thatbthe seal was seriously wounded, trying to get justice for his father.

Crenshaw, however, said an apology from Davidson and NBC "won't mean anything to me."

"I do think that in today's culture and today's politics we tend to throw rocks at each other back and forth demanding apologies for every upset that is done to us," he said. "What they should do is maybe pool their money together and donate to some veterans’ charities out there that could really use some help."

But maybe the comedian will say, like someone else: “I didn’t say that, You better read it again.”

Meaghan Kelly was let go from NBC because she said some insensitive things on the air. Maybe NBC should release him from his contract as well. Apply the same standard across the board. They DID set the precedent.

Question
I haven’t watch SNL in years (hasn’t been anyone on there I would waste my time staying up late to watch it since Dana Carey in my opinion.
Was Alec Baldwin on or is he still locked up for punching the guy over a parking spot ?

Just saw the Joke wow its no where as horrible as some are saying it is was. I agree it a pathetic attempt at a joke..

The response from the right to once again decry the lack of civility and demand this guys removal and once again use a Veteran in a liberal outrage campaign on social media is classic

Mean while back at the white house Trump keeps lying labeling peoples as enemies ...lying his ass about the caravan claiming voter fraud again and the right remains silent an unfazed ...



PS all you saying SLN isn't funny ... you sound like your parents they thought the same thing when SLN was represented by your generation ... and theirs was turned into SLN archives

Is this any different from the Meghan Kelly situation? Other than the fact that she actually LOST her job.

I don't think either should actually lose their job, people say stupid crap all the time (cough, cough, political forum, cough). nobody should lose their livelyhood because of it.

please explain specifically, how it was different from what someone said it was. can’t wait to hear it.

they put his photo in national tv, and they LAUGHED AT WHAT HIS WOUND LOOKED LIKE, then dismissed his sacrifice as “ whatever”.

what the hell is wrong with you?

Would Trumplicans have had an issue if he said "I like people who weren't blown up"?
No support for the person who lost their father in the largest terrorist attack, but plenty for the draft dodger con man.
At least that kid has some excuse for his behavior.
