I‘m afraid the Democrats already know how to act weak and unpopular 🤪 (Schumer, Jeffries). We need them to be tough and aligned with the majority of the country.

Can we wrap this up? It's getting old.

I didn't set out to be like either one of the. I got into the comedy game later in life after having a career in something totally unfunny. If you are a comedian, I apologize. Nothing in this thread revealed any hints.

I still don't get how resigning when pressured to do something wrong helps. Isn't that just paving the way for them to get a compliant replacement?

Dressed like ICE no less.

Famous is the word you're looking for. Less successful would imply I failed at trying to be like either one of them. Wanda Sykes was speaking her mind too. Other than the subject matter, bringing up those two comics seems like a difference without distinction. FWIW I find all of them funny.

Free speech doesn’t mean saying whatever you feel like and expect only praise and positive vibes.

Clearly you’re not a comedian. So let’s just leave at that.

I'm fine with people poking fun for any reason and speaking for everyone. That is a comedian's job. Wanda was poking fun at comics who think they represent the mainstream by punching down and the reaction was to cry bully her on their behalf not laugh it off.

I get what you're saying about self-censorship, but conflating Wanda Sykes' dig at Bill Maher with a call for censorship is a bit of a reach – like calling clap back on Blue Sky vilification.

Do you think it was wrong for her to poke fun at a notoriously thin-skinned comic like Bill Maher?

Censorship is about limiting what people talk about, not how much.

On the bright side, the money will get embezzled and used to buy something dubious for the sponsor of the fund.

So were tax cuts.
