Why do comedians think people care?


No one gives a *beep* about your personal opinions. Just do your clown act and collect your peanuts. Nobody cares if you leave the country. I never thought you were funny or had any talent in the first place.

I care. He said it now be a man and do it. Integrity of a Clinton.

Do what? Go back to Mexico?

Yeah they should all keep their word. Proves how full of crap they really are.

And yes I agree with the OP: entertainers need to STFU about politics. If you're an entertainer just entertain. That's what you do. Nobody wants to listen to you trying to use your fame to enforce your views. That's not your place, and frankly all you're doing is alienating a large part of your potential audience, which is just bad business.

Saying you're going to leave the country if so and so is elected is a silly thing to say; it's obvious that it's usually a hollow threat and unrealistic. On the other hand, you evidently do care at least a little bit, in that it gets under your skin enough to come here and comment on it. That said, there is freedom of expression. Imo, the best thing to do is just turn it off if you don't want to hear it. Grow a thicker skin, as conservatives are constantly suggesting to those whiny liberals.

Do you make a distinction between entertainers and artists? Because creative expression is important to artists, and shouldn't be censored or restrained in the name of entertainment, or to assuage the fragile sensibilities of an audience. Again, the thing to do is to stop watching if you object that strongly, not to insist someone should stifle themselves because you find their views unpalatable. I didn't think the suppression of speech was a classic American value.

One further point: Trump is an exceptionally unpopular president-elect. Those who did vote for him will have to come to terms with this. The sentiment against him is not going away any time soon. Obama was tremendously popular when he came into office; Trump is not. For many of us, the idea of putting "Donald Trump" and "integrity" in the same sentence is a nothing more than a joke.

Typical liberal hypocrite. Just this last weekend he threw a woman out of his show in Phoenix. Calling her a b!tch and shut the (censored) up. Get the (censored) out. Called her B!tch at least twice. Doesn't seem very compassionate Georgie.

You tossed her @ss out for expressing herself after disagreeing with a racist comment you tried to disguise as a joke. She paid money to see your 'show' and you tossed her. She was legally entitled to be there. Yet you balk about the US wanting people to enter out country legally?!? Hypocrisy it's fullest. I can't believe some of these sheep willingly give you a dime.

When are you packing your bags and going back to that paradise called Mexico? Or are you just going to stay here in America and live behind YOUR WALL?

The only joke is you, and it's not funny.

And you think we all care about yours?
