Jewish Comedian Sarah Silverman Reacts To Attack On 'alt-right' Leader

... also sparked a debate on whether it is OK to punch someone, even if that person is a neo-Nazi. (Spencer has repeatedly said, as he did again on Saturday to the Times, that he is not a Nazi and that the term is outdated.). In the midst of that debate, Spencer found an unlikely defender: liberal Jewish comedian Sarah Silverman. Silverman tweeted that the man who punched Spencer was “wildly misguided” and lamented that the attacker would never be open to learning about non-violence. Would MLK lynch a kkk member if he could've? I'd wanna. But would it make the change protesting & non violence did? __link__/ULLWq 8 zg 3 q. — Sarah Silverman (@Sarah KSilverman) January 22, 2017.

Sarah Silverman Leads Hollywood Liberals In A Call For Armed Overthrow

... and remove the head of the Executive Branch. What then. A “provisional government” calling the shots until new elections can be held? Sorry… tried and failed in many a bananas republic and usually whomever emerges from a down and dirty cage match finds the throne and refuses to vacate… I’m thinking of that marvelous scene from Woody Allen’s Bananas. Sarah seems to have a savior thing going, positioning herself as Phoenix rising from the now or future ashes of Main Street to save us all. I’m imagining that she was struck by the iconic figure of Marianne in Delacroix’s iconic Liberty Leading the People – bare breasted, rifle in one hand, French Tri-color in the other – rallying the troops in rebellion and musing to herself. Wow… couldn’t that be me. Unfortunately, Silverman is not the only Tinseltown lefty who seems to have ...

... and comedian Sarah Silverman, as well as two foster children.

On her website, __link__, Silverman describes herself as “Rabbi, author, activist and mom,” and each role is deeply interwoven into the fabric of her life. But first and foremost she’s a mom — to Aliza, 23, who served in intelligence in the IDF and is a musician and actress; Hallel, 21, who recently completed her IDF service as an army spokesperson and is active on issues of liberal Judaism and fair trade; Adar, 18, a high school student involved in Model U.

Advocating A 'coup' Against Trump Is Against The Law

... him out of office after four years, impeachment, or utilizing a claim of mental instability and invoking the 25 th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, which could get Trump removed if the “president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”. On Twitter, there have been a number of calls for Trump’s assassination throughout the campaign and Election Day, leading to U. S. Secret Service investigations. 18 U. S. Code § 2385 reads in full. Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or.

This Interview Is Going Terribly.' Sarah Silverman On Weed, Butts, Trump, Cartoon Voices And More

... of her show at Caesars Windsor this Saturday night. Q. Have you ever been to Windsor, Ontario. I have not. I’m excited to see the sights. Q. We’re actually just south of Detroit. I notice you get a lot of comments from people saying you should move to Canada. How about it. I do love Canada. But I gotta stay here (in the U. S.) and fight the good fight. Q. Weed will be fully legal here, soon. And we’ve got lots of hockey and donuts. I can’t believe it’s not legal yet. I mean, Vancouver — I was there years ago and I remember there were cafes and stuff where you could smoke weed. But they said, ‘Do not try to take it home.’. My best friend visited me and I pleaded with her not to take any paraphernalia home, because I know they’re strict at the border. She called me sobbing. She had to get an anal cavity search. They found a pipe. Q. Whoa! She had the pipe up her… dang. No, she didn’t have a pipe up her butt! They found a pipe in her luggage, and then they looked up her butt. Q. Oh. Just ...

Sarah Silverman Brings Outrageous Comedy To Keswick For Two Nights

... money in places that invest in stuff you don’t believe in. We live in a country run by actual money addicts, who are so greedy. So as consumers, we have great power by being aware of what we buy and where that money goes. Sorry this interview is not very funny. I’ll work on that.”. Her sitcom vehicle “The Sarah Silverman Program” was one of the funnier shows of the prior decade. Silverman was hilarious as a fictionalized version of herself, an unemployed, irresponsible narcissist. Would Silverman ever attempt to create another sitcom. “Not a nightly one, anyway,” she says. “I”m a quality-of-life gal. That (14-hour-a-day) schedule is not for me. I like doing a whole bunch of different kinds of things.”. Like going on a tour. The faint of heart should be prepared since Silverman will not pull punches when she hits the Keswick stage. “I’ll talk about the basics,” she says. “Family, God, abortion and sex.”. It’s a shame that Silverman will not commit to a television show. She would be a fascinating and unpredictable late-night ...

Say Hi To Sarah Silverman If You See Her In The Airport, And Other Lessons From The Comedian

... and another Monday night , in preparation for a stand-up special she'll film in February. You're on the road again for the first time in a while. It's a little lonely but I love stand-up. I am a people person, though I get so embarrassed if I'm sitting at the gate for my flight each day and get stared at. I like hellos and being talked to like a human person, but the stares, because it's just me, make my head feel very hot. I can't explain the sensation more than just the feeling of embarrassment. Stand-up is who I am. I'm a stand-up. It's my constant. And I have so much bulls- I wanna tell you. How do you characterize the Philadelphia audience. I don't know. I'll let you know. I can't wait! Todd Glass, one of my all-time favorite comics and beloved friend, is opening for me and it's his hometown, so I'm excited. You had a big moment in Philadelphia over the summer when you called a heckler "ridiculous." Why did you respond. Because I was there for Bernie. And Bernie was there for Hillary. And to see people screaming in other people's faces with such rage in a time when we had to come together. And if you love Bernie, you'd do that for him, make sure that someone who listens ...
