Thanks for chiming in. Jokes are always funnier, once they’ve been explained.

OK. Agree to disagree. I don’t think one woman, even in the front row, would have pulled focused had Lopez not highlighted her.

Yessss! I have been waiting for this post all morning! Aghhh, dicks.

How was one lone woman standing up and flipping him off an interruption? If Lopez had just ignored her and continued his show, no one would have noticed her.

The joke was racist.

I sooooooo do understand that. I wouldn’t call Trump’s win on a technicality a “crushing defeat,” so I disagreed with the OP that Clinton’s was a “humiliating loss.” Thanks for chiming in with the obvious.

Humiliating loss...by winning 3M more votes??

I enjoyed this, thank you.

These are awesome suggestions!

I hear you, and agree to disagree. I just know how personally powerless I feel these days*, and I am (perhaps unfairly) resting my hopes on people who do have the eyes and ears of an enormous audience to “do something major.” In fairness, I have no idea, specifically, what that would look like.

You make some awesome suggestions, thanks!

Looks like we agree. I said “we might as well stand up, loudly, to tell him he’s not welcome.” I said nothing about condoning violence/ illegal actions on the part of protesters in this case.

But if the left ignores him (i.e. doesn’t act), it’s not like he will just disappear. These are different times and the MAGANazis are feeling pretty great about themselves. They will promote him, with or without us, so we might as well stand up, loudly, to tell him he’s not welcome.

“I kind of feel sorry for people who allowed their views to be so easily shaped by the media and social media.”

I’m sorry to hear that re: your bday. You have probably already thought about this, but as someone who also has issues that are hard to communicate, do you have a trusted friend at your office who could quietly spread the word that you’d rather money for a party go to a charity? or just call in sick that day...

Try not bringing it up in the first place and see what happens/ doesn’t happen.

Justin Trudeau seems to be welcoming the victims of Trump’s EO to Canada.

Cool. When are you running to replace them?
