Comedian Jim Gaffigan Breaks Silence And Goes To Town On Trump--Lights Trumpsters Up!

I can't post but a few of this comments, so it's best to visit C&L and read them in all of their glory.

Jim Gaffigan is an award-winning, well-regarded, popular comedian. Part of Gaffigan’s appeal is his family-friendly comedy, that he writes and works on with his wife and frequently centers around food and Gaffigan’s obsessions with food. Gaffigan has a large family, which includes five children, leading to my favorite Gaffigan joke: “If you want to know what it’s like to have a fourth, just imagine you’re drowning … and then someone hands you a baby.” Gaffigan is also openly Catholic, and was asked by the Roman Catholic Church to do warmup for the World Meeting of Families back in 2015, when he opened for the Pope—yes, that Pope.

If you’ve ever listened to Gaffigan interviewed or watched his act, he tends to stay away from talking politics. He’s not averse to saying that he is in general liberal, but he also doesn’t do much joking when it comes to the current political climate. However, on Thursday night, Gaffigan seems to have become fed up with the titanic levels of hypocrisy on display by many and the depressing level of pig-headedness shown by people pretending that what Trump is saying and doing is anything besides grotesque. So Gaffigan went online, and went off.

It began innocuously enough.

6. I'm pleased to hear this about Jim.

I've always loved his comedy and watch CBS Sunday Morning just to see his bit. However, I could never tell which way he leaned politically and tended to think he may be a rightie since he's staunchly Catholic with many children. So I love him even more now.

8. Time for a "Trump Roast" comedy show!!!

We all know how thin-skinned Trump is. He loves to taunt people with his cruel brand of "humor," but he is the biggest snowflake. After all, part of what is driving his rage at Obama was the fun-poking he received from Obama at the Correspondents' dinner.

I mentioned this in a post a while back, but we seriously need all the comedians to get together and put together a hilarious roast of Trump. The "Trump Roast." His head would explode. Jim Gaffigan and other comedians, please think about a Trump Roast. (I'm trying out Trump's woo-hoo "positive thinking" strategy of saying something over and over until it becomes true

Trump Roast! Trump Roast! Trump Roast! The name alone should inspire you! Trump Roast!

10. People are starting to have the guts to say, "Enough!"

I think Trump may have passed his, "Alas, sir, have you no decency?" moment.

AND IT'S ABOUT TIME!
