I didn't care. I thought she was annoying for being a typical Hillary drone who insults everyone who wasn't a Hillary drone for being anti-women


Except she didn't do that. Maybe you should watch it. It's pretty funny. She even makes a few jokes about Hillary.


I was thinking of her line about Megyn Kelly

What would I do without Megyn Kelly? Probably be more proud of women.


You really think the joke there is that Megyn Kelly isn't a Hillary supporter?


More generally that because Megyn Kelly dared to WrongThink by not buying into the overall left wing agenda, she's anti-women.


That has nothing to do with it. She was an advocate against a pregnant woman's right in the workplace up until right after she came back from maternity leave after having her own child, then stated the state of rights for pregnant women in the US were awful. She was anti-affirmative consent on campus yet has found herself in the forefront of the Me too movement, yet in her book wrote that "no" is always an option.

She's just a hypocrite and an overall terrible person that is only looking to secure her bank statements.

I find this hilariously ironic. The same people that are complaining about things like this are the ones that violently argue that people's freedom of speech should be protected and they shouldn't be shamed for having a different opinion. Case-in-point; when the Duck Dynasty guy was blacklisted from A&E for spouting blatantly homophobic garbage, these same people argued it was wrong to shame him and try to 'censor' him.

Of course, that is not what Freedom of Speech means at all, but it's hilariously hypocritical none-the-less.

One of my favorite jokes of the night, actually:
"It is kind of crazy the Trump campaign was in contact with Russia when the Hillary campaign wasn't even in contact with Michigan."

Eh. Half funny, half uncomfortable. Not the best delivery. The material belonged in a comedy club.

The material belonged right there in front of the audience that most needed to hear it. I don't know why everyone is going off about the comedy and how it landed in the room. Every line in that roast was true and that should make us angry at the people responsible, not angry at the messenger.

Jokes (shitty or not, crass or not, offensive or not) isn't true political discourse. I wouldn't say jokes are completely invalid or bereft of deeper meaning but putting it on a pedestal of something noble or courageous and righteous is bizarre.

I think that's the point though, try to bring in some levity.

No because that's the point of satire. Besides, everyone in the Trump administration is an idiot.

It wasn't offensive but it wasn't funny either also, her voice just makes it even worse.

I think it the insult to a females appearance. Imagine insulting Michelle Obama. Would it be different?

She didn't actually insult anyone's appearance, people are just misinterpreting a line so they can argue from a moral high ground that doesn't exist.

That was a great comedy routine. You could see and hear people in the room cracking up, though I will say the bit about Sarah Huckabee Sanders was a little cringy.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.
