Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) said Friday night that his Republican Senate colleagues privately express “great concern” about President Trump's temperament, and he joked about the GOP eventually impeaching Trump.
Appearing on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher asked Franken what Republicans really say behind closed doors.
Franken joked: “Well, there's a range in what they'll say, and some will say that he's not right mentally. And some are harsher.”
“No, no. That's not fair. That was cheap,” he continued. “There are some who I guess don't talk to me.”
I've always enjoyed Al Franken's dry sense of humor and he was in rare form last night.
However I also feel that what he was saying about the Republican Senators was in large part quite accurate.
I am sure that many of them are at their wits end trying to figure out what Donald Trump is going to screw up next.
I like how Franken summed up Trump's behaviors in the end of the interview:
"This is very, very very disturbing that the president has a habit of either imagining things, or making stuff up. That's not....it''s really outside the norm of, not just the presidency, but of human beings."
Now as much as I enjoyed Al Franken's portion of the show last night, I was not at all happy with that asshole Piers Morgan whose arrogant attitude, and attempts to suggest that people were overreacting to Donald Trump, really started to piss me off by the end of the show.
Which is why I actually yelled out "You tell him Jim" when comedian Jim Jeffries said this right before New Rules:
Believe me after listening to that insufferable twit for almost 45 minutes that was the perfect response.
Update: A certain very well known author really enjoyed Jefferies response to Piers Morgan as well.
Because you had a premonition that one day the author would roar with laughter at seeing you called out for your bullshit on live TV? https://t.co/8rkKSqJTnG
“What he does is he preys on fear,” Jeffries explained, referring to Trump’s allegations that all Mexicans are rapists and murderers. Every terrorist attack in the last year has followed with Trump going after Muslims, even going so far as to demand we go after their families as well.
“As soon as he says that, ISIS have f*cking won,” Jeffries says. Terrorist attacks are a “recruitment tool” and Jefferies explains that a recruitment tool “can only work if hate is bred.” Trump is leading the marching band.
“Now you’re a 16-year-old boy or girl that’s a Muslim living in this country,” he continues, describing a hypothetical scenario. “You’ve lived your entire life in this country. You’ve always considered yourself American and then all of a sudden someone who could be your President says you are not welcome here and that you should be put on a register.
Now that kid, how f*cking quickly do you think that that kid could be radicalized now? Before he wasn’t gonna be radicalized at all.”
He closes by saying that Trump is attempting to beat hate by using hate. “And hate doesn’t beat hate. It’s never f*cking beaten hate. It just breeds more hate.”
The guy is raunchy as hell but he has an unerring way of seeing through bullshit and calling it out in a most humorous manner.
If you have not yet seen his bit on gun control I advise you do so right away.
Okay if you are not familiar with Jim Jeffries, a word of warning, he uses a lot of NSFW language.
A LOT of NSFW language.
However he is incredibly funny, and raucously crude.
Jeffries take on gun control is especially interesting considering the fact that he was once attacked on stage and sliced in the head with a machete during a home invasion.
I guess it takes more than that to terrify an Aussie enough for them to buy a gun.
