White House Wants Samantha Bee's Show Cancelled

[Gothmog]

This is ridiculous but to be expected from trump and the idiots in the White House https://politicalwire.com/2018/05/31/white-house-wants-samantha-bees-show-cancelled/

Samantha Bee told the Daily Beast that she “deeply regrets” calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt” on her show.

Meanwhile, Deadline reports that the White House called on TBS to cancel the show.

Said press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “The language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious. The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling. Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network.”

I will be irked at TBS if they give into trump and SHS

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. TBS if you give in to this I will NEVER Watch again

[Gothmog]

51. Agreed

I would stop watching this channel if this happens

[oberliner]

2. Samantha Bee Wants White House's Show Cancelled

[RandomAccess]

3. It's ENTIRELY INAPPROPRIATE for the W.H. to demand she be cancelled

They're probably safe denouncing her remarks, but beyond that they don't have the right. It's called the First Amendment.

[wonkwest]

57. Agreed

This is an enormous breach of the executive institution. I hate what Bee said. If she gets cancelled, so be it. It's her own fault. But the White House calling for it?

No.

A fucking thousand times no.

4. State Farm ins and Autotrader have both suspended their advertising with her show.

However, I don't know what her viewership is and how many sponsors she can afford to lose.

[badhair77]

13. Lots of sponsors dropped Laura Ingraham but she's still there.

Faux weathered the storm. Sam better stay and even pick up some viewers.

[Deuce]

19. Yep!

[herding cats]

24. I doubt she's going to cave. She's fierce!

I thought of Ingraham when I saw this on the news tonight, too. If FOX could have her back, TBS better have Bee's.

[badhair77]

32. I agree. Sam's intrepidly fierce and would not cave.

When I say Sam must stay I meant TBS better not cancel the show. TBS must not fold. She’s done some great investigative work on that program. Heading to Syria to cover the refugees, talking to Russian trolls, etc.

[wonkwest]

58. She may be fierce, but the executives may be less so

This is going to be interesting.

I really wish she hadn't done that.

Today felt a bit like, "Roseanne who?"

Damnit, Samantha.

[JonAndKatePlusABird]

48. Fox News is doing an ad blitz in NYC

Not sure if it's nationwide, but I've now had several instances where a bus went past me, and Laura's smiling/sneering face was plastered on the side of the bus, in a very clear Fox News advert. Blah.

[nolabear]

16. Because of all the minions who'll no longer watch?

No, because it’s free advertising.

[herding cats]

25. Exactly!

It was opportunistic on their part. I hope it backfired on them.

[PoorMonger]

5. Beat me to it

Was gonna say that I want this presidency cancelled too...

The funny thing is that in this, just like so many things Trump trying to big boot around and demand his whiney whims be obeyed probably protects the show.

[John Fante]

6. This is the WH's way of defending Roseanne's racist tweets.

If TBS caves into this silly attempt at a false equivalence, they'll lose millions of viewers. Trust.

[dchill]

7. They also want Robert Mueller's show cancelled...

And Rosenstein's. And Sessions'.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want."

[DBoon]

21. and Schumer's. And Pelosi's

No opposition

[badhair77]

8. Trump's and SHS's lies are vile and vicious.

Stop the lying and maybe we can talk. Political posturing. I detest these people.

[Guilded Lilly]

9. Yeah, well I want the entire White House cancelled...

fot hideous anti-humanity and obsequious ass kissing bullshit of the hateful and reeking administration that enables and allows everything vile that comes out of the mouth of the twisted god-complex lunatic with every breath.

Cancel him.

[magicarpet]

10. Oh I hope Mueller nails this trDump crew's asses to the wall...

..... and drags them through every court then tosses them all into jail for the remainder of their lives.

What an arrogant bunch of new money con artists who are nothing more than a crime syndicate of wannabe filthy rich Oligarchs.

Lock them all up and throw away the keys.

[BigmanPigman]

11. Go directly to the source...the fucking moron himself. YOU'RE FIRED!

When will Putin's puppet get canceled with a polonium cocktail?

[NCTraveler]

12. The Trump administration isn't fit for broadcast. Nt

[unblock]

14. This may be a violation of 18usc227:

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/25/kaepernicks-lawyer-seems-to-think-president-and-vice-president-violated-federal-law-over-anthem-issue/

This case up regarding Donnie getting the nfl to refuse to hire Kaepernick, but, similar situation.

[NightWatcher]

15. Bee went too far, committed an error that just got Roseanne canned.

What did Bee think would happen?

It was a dumb move at a bad time and I think she'll be fired any minute now.

How can TBS keep her when everyone said ABC did the right thing re Barr?

[MichMan]

40. I agree

Bee's transgression was potentially worse in some ways, because she actually did it as part of the show, compared to Barr who said it in an off air tweet.

[Crunchy Frog]

56. She harshly criticized a member of the current administration

for policies currently being carried out by this administration. She used harsh language laced with some profanities, which is not unusual in the area of political satire/criticism, and apparently not unusual on her show.

Roseanne tweeted a racist attack on a member of the former administration, based not on policy disagreement, but on her race and place of birth.

You really don't understand the difference?

[smirkymonkey]

17. I want the entire fucking Trump reality show cancelled.

Forever!

[mercuryblues]

18. oops

Trump, Wolff writes in Fire and Fury, was up against the Justice Department but thought he was “up against Sally Yates, who was, he steamed, such a c---t.”

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-worst-thing-donald-trump-says-in-michael-wolffs-book

Not satisfied with that show of strength douchebaggery, Trump called Lin’s editor, Craig Stock, where he continued his rant; referring to Lin as a “cunt”. But when Stock asked Trump what in particular he found so offensive about the story, Trump replied: “No one reads the story. I read the headline and didn’t like it.”

https://www.yomyomf.com/that-time-donald-trump-called-a-reporter-a-cunt/

[womanofthehills]

54. so Trump can say "grab them by the pussy" and pay off women ..... but

Samantha needs to go. I don't think so.

[Chickensoup]

20. you have my vote.

The current reality show in the white house should be canceled.

[Squinch]

22. Everybody, put it on your record list so she gets a ratings bump!

[LuvLoogie]

23. People get hidden and banned on DU for referring to women as the "C" word.

After the daily shit and assault from trump and his administration. I don't have enough to level that kind of angry invective toward Ivanka. Especially over a saccharine picture tweet. She doesn't really do anything. She has no role as a policy maker, despite her high visibility.

Samantha stepped in it, unnecessarily. I ain't mad at her. But I am kind of annoyed at her right now.

[thegoose]

26. Fuck them

This is fucking tyranny. Orange Anus is blobbing around, pardoning the most despicable pieces of shit he can find today (can he exhume the Third Reich?), so of course they want to cancel free speech.

Ivanka is a fucking simple-minded blow-up doll who is making money off the government (US!!!) while she ostensibly works for it. And the post of her holding her "adorable baby" while her filthy father is wrenching children from their parents is reason for them all to burn in hell.

But be warned, Samantha Bee's genital reference should not be enough to "clutch the pearls." This is the end game, folks, and no time to get offended by ourselves, for Chrissakes....

-- The NFL white owners already bent over for the Cheeto. And he's expressed hatred on many sides...on many sides.
-- White supremacists are eagerly marching for him.
-- Immigrants live in constant terror, waiting for the door to be broken down and their children to be ripped from their arms.

So of course, that Huckabee hound dog drags her ass out today to continue spewing out the robotic solipsisms and gets all (PHONY) choked up about the kid reporter about the school shooting. Meanwhile, the cockholster Dumpster headed to Texas, thinking it would be some fun to go see the shooting victims today.

Fuck this worthless piece of shit sociopath and the morons who inflicted him upon us!

If TBS cancels Samantha for political correctness instead of fighting back, this will be another danger zone. Let's not get so touchy about the provocative language on our side. All bets are off. If Roseanne wants to talk about successful black women with big swinging ape balls, and Orange Anus approves, then we can say what we feel about that ridiculously plastic, phony bitch daughter of his.

There, I said it, and I don't give a fiddler's fuck.

[LenaBaby61]

52. THANK YOU!!!

What's any worse than fat ass, treasonous shitler installed in the White House?


NOTHING.

[PubliusEnigma]

27. They need one of ours to get even for Roseanne. Do not stand for this shit!!

We must back Samantha Bee up 100%

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

28. In a related story, the sky is blue.

It was obvious that this would be the WH response, the only question was how many minutes would elapse between the event and the reaction. Anything to divert attention away from the latest Trump administration scandals.

Sam just painted a huge target on her chest.

[forthemiddle]

29. I knew this would happen.

I agree that Roseanne deserved the punishment she got, but I also knew there would be a sacrificial lamb coming from the liberal side.
Is misogyny as bad as racism? I’ll let each person decide on their own, but you honestly can’t say that calling any woman a c**t is acceptable behavior, just because we don’t like the person it’s directed too.

[rzemanfl]

30. Some network should have Kathy Griffin and Samantha Bee cover New Year's Eve 2019. n/t

[badhair77]

34. I would watch.

[Iliyah]

31. The White House is no longer the people's house.

The government now only cares for the wealthy and screw everybody else. The government don't care about the allies, all they care about is money and power.

[mcar]

33. That is a violation of the 1st Amendment!

The government cannot control a person's speech. If TBS chooses to act, that's their business.

Rs will never get it.

[madinmaryland]

35. madinmaryland Wants Donald tRumps Shitshow cancelled. RIGHT FUCKING NOW!! nt

[madinmaryland]

36. Now I have to call my congresscritter RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

[NRaleighLiberal]

37. I want the trump presidency cancelled.

[Fresh_Start]

38. Sam Bee did not call the feckless princess anything worse than her dad called

other women. It wasn't racist...it was a reaction to the horror of the entire Trump family.

Sam Bee should not be cancelled.

[C_U_L8R]

39. You know what's really feckless

It's not knowing the difference between a crude insult and racism...

and worse, trying to score political points amongst an ignorant base.

[Oneironaut]

41. And remember, it's just as bad as comparing a black woman to an ape!

[Exotica]

47. I know, this absolute false equivalency is doing my bloody head in

[NickB79]

49. Thank you

The difference between being a run of the mill asshole and a racist asshole is YUUUGE......

[Qutzupalotl]

42. But explicit profanity about sexual assault by a male member of this administration

is laughed off as “locker room talk.”

You have to earn the moral high ground.

[Stinky The Clown]

43. When the Princess' father apologizes for all his supporters who called HRC the SAME THING

Until then, tough shit, motherfuckers.

By the way, I agree with Sam Bee.

[ehrnst]

44. Fuck those feckless pearl clutching, Ted Nugent feeding, pussy grabbers. (nt)

[badhair77]

45. The White House should be more concerned about

the Michael Cohen tape released today. That offends me more.

[RainCaster]

46. We want the WH to be cancelled

Bring back Hillary

[Alwaysna]

53. Sam is telling it

Like it is. What do they expect when Ivanks's daddy calls her "a nice piece of ass" ? How can we tell what is "locker room talk"?
Why cancel Sam's show for it's honesty? Not only is Ivanka a feckless c#$t but she married one as well.

[Crunchy Frog]

55. Sounds like a 1st Amendment violation.

Govt applying pressure a station to cancel a political satire program. If they cave, the ACLU needs to jump on it.
