Are you kidding me CG?  You have the nerve to keep posting things despite being told MANY times not to, and then you expect Carrie, or I or anyone else to just ignore it and let you post whatever you want but we are all supposed to "STHU" (for those that don't know..CG told Carrie to shut the hell up)????  Get real.  You don't get to post political stuff, and act innocent and tell others too bad ignore it.  If you are going to post it, expect these types of responses EVERY time.  YOU insist on it.  And before you write me back disrespectfully...i am the group owner.  I am...not you.  Not in this group.  You don't get to tell the members in MY group to Shut up.  You don't get to post what you want after every single member of this group has asked you not to,and then tell the members of MY group to ignore it.  You are the one (and only one) consistently breaking the rules of this group.  I have tried to be nice, I have asked repeatedly for you not to post things like this.  You know the responses you will get here.  It's obvious you want them or you wouldn't post it here.   I've asked you repeatedly to leave the group if you can't follow the rules and you never do.  You have threatened to leave but you never do it.  I have told you I do not like to remove anyone....it makes me feel bad . But after this, I feel I have no choice.  I'm really sorry it had to come to this and I hope the other members understand why, but there is never conflict in here until you passively aggressively post your Trump/political posts and then get mad when people tell you that's not allowed here.  We have gone around and around about it and you stop for a few weeks and then it starts again.  EVERY TIME.  It's a huge cycle and it's now going to end.  I know you are in other groups i'm in and i hope we can be civil there but unfortunately I am removing you from this group for breaking the rules over and over, bringing political talk where it's not allowed (and yes, you have posted political posts in the last few days) and for telling members to shut up and ignore them posts (when it's you breaking the rules).

Even in email groups where, repeatedly, someone has been told and asked to stop sending in political articles, yet the person insists, then acts all uppity indignant when others dare to reply, though usually the passive aggressive anger and indignation is pointed at only me, Carrie. 

As long as there is NO refuge from politics, well, then yes, it is everywhere.

I pretty much switch the channel when things get political. I'm so sick of it. I was ready to welcome back Will & Grace and they went and started Trump bashing, and it wasn't at all humorous. I just wish we could go back to entertainment to forget the stresses of the day!

None of the Presidents during the Johnny Carson and David Letterman eras were so clearly racist.   All those Presidents?  They issued aid to disaster areas immediately.  They didn't, as trump has done repeatedly, suggest an area hit by disaster shouldn't get federal aid because the state or territory has debt.   The president sure didn't say that of Texas or Florida, where there are a lot of white people.   But Puerto Rico, a United States territory, filled with US citizens just like us, happen to be Hispanic, and in our racist "presidents" mind, that apparently means they don't deserve the same response as the white US citizens in Texas and Florida.  

The Carson/Letterman Presidents never claimed White Supremacists were good guys.   Unlike trump, who has said it.  Several times. 

Carson/Letterman era Presidents.....all Presidents through President Obama in fact, they never lied to support their own egos like trump repeatedly does.  

That's why trump isn't a laughing matter.  Because his actions are so dangerous for anyone not born as  a white rich make.  And his need to have his ego stroked every second?  Utterly ridiculous for a person in that position.   How many previous Presidents had a team of people, paid for by taxpayers, whose sole job was to compile, daily, printouts and screenshots of things Saud favorably about him?  Only trump.   The taxpayers of this country are paying a group of people to watch Fox news, read Breitbart and Infowars, not for news, but to note and screenshot anytime something positive about a single person is on the screen or put in an article. 

Nothing funny about any of it.   And the difference between competent Preside, like President Obama, President Bush, President Clinton, etc, and trump?  Complete night and day.   Nothing funny about having been led by competent leaders for at least the last 40-45 years, and then.....trump .     Nothing humorous about a nation filled with people of all races, sexual orientations, religions, being terrified because they aren't a rich white Christian male.

 I guess I didn't remember Johnny Carson be so nasty .Maybe he did it different. This now just seems CRUEL.

But anyway. its their shows to run as they want.  We have choices in life- To listen and watch or change the channel .Seems like many things are political anymore. We just roll with the punches and move on. heck we cant even watch a ball game anymore with out it being political. .Well anyway. I have heard they all still have good guests on and some just prefer to pay attention to that part. .

There is no getting around it . It is what it is.

So do any of you watch the late night shows? Who is your favorite? Least favorite?

Gosh I haven't watched a late night show for years. Once in awhile I would watch Jay Leno and David Letterman

Comedians hate Trump so much they can't be funny anymore

By Joseph Curl - The Washington Times - Tuesday, May 9, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Man, comedy is taking a beating lately.

With a polarized America, late-night talk show hosts have decided to go hyperpolitical — and to skew uber-liberal. It's a big change from the way it used to be.

When Johnny Carson was host of "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992, he did thousands of political jokes. His target: Politicians — every one of them — presidents, lawmakers, Democrats, Republicans, it didn't matter.

Why? Because politics is funny. Simple. And politicians are hilarious. From both parties! So, you think Rep. Nancy Pelosi is funny, but Sen. John McCain isn't? You think Rep. Maxine Waters is ridiculous, but not Gov. Chris Christie? Politicians all are so full of themselves, clearly unaware of the meaning of "hubris," convinced that they — and they alone — can save the nation. And that's just funny.

But nowadays, late-night comedians have decided to mock half of its potential audience by bashing only Republicans. No one really knows why networks don't say "Hey, you're costing us viewers — which means you're costing us money, so stop it." But they don't. They're just fine with talk show hosts ripping half of America.

Look at today's hosts. Jimmy Kimmel goes on a rant about how good Obamacare is — and how awful people are if they don't think so. Stephen Colbert goes on a profanity-laced tirade targeting conservatives. Only Jimmy Fallon, the highly unworthy heir to Mr. Carson's "Tonight Show" has steered clear of divisive nightly rants, although he's being urged to be "more political" to catch up with Mr. Colbert's ratings.

 

There are others, including Samantha Bee, host of "Full Frontal," and Trevor Noah, host of "The Daily Show." And there's Jon Oliver, the very unfunny Brit on HBO's "Last Week Tonight." Target audience: Young liberals. Anyone else can, as Mr. Colbert might say, just @#&* off!

Over the weekend, Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker (and a really funny guy when you get to know him), said something's gone terribly wrong with today's entertainers.

"The problem you have with humor in America today is that Hollywood is so enraged at Donald Trump that they can't be funny," Mr. Gingrich said on "Fox News Sunday."

"All they've got is pure anger. And that's what's coming out in this stuff," he said.

Mr. Gingrich was spurred to comment after the profane rant Mr. Colbert delivered on Monday. "You're not the POTUS, you're the 'gloat-us,'" Mr. Colbert said in a joke perhaps targeted at 12-year-olds.

But then he went after the adults. "Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer You're a real p–k-tator. The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's c—kholster," Mr. Colbert said.

Mr. Gingrich said the new crop of hosts "think it must be funny because they're called comedians."

"So they exhibit their anger as almost a pathology on late-night television and you're supposed to laugh because, after all, they're comedians," he said.

Regarding Mr. Kimmel, the speaker said the very sad story of his newborn son needing heart surgery — which the host claimed was only possible because of Obamacare — is "part of the left's mythology" that doctors will not treat uninsured or under-insured people.

"You show up at a hospital with a brand-new baby and the brand-new baby has a heart problem, the doctors of that hospital do everything they can to save the baby," he said, regardless of whether a patient has insurance.

Mr. Gingrich's diagnosis of what ails today's late-night hosts: "They ain't funny 'cause they're too angry to be funny."
