      We all know why we're here. Hilarious Norm said he was "kinda nervous meeting someone so famous & powerful", but the reality is Norm is more famous & holds a place no other celeb or politician could. "Kathy griffin has her gays, but me, I have my retards. And I love my retards".

My point is these TV roasts aren't evidence that these people enjoyed being made fun of. It's good that you don't take yourself seriously and can laugh at yourself, but you're not sitting in front of an audience of hundreds either. I think it's natural to be nervous (and drink water) when you are the subject of a roast in front of hundreds, especially when you don't know what's going to come out of the comedian's mouth next.

      I’m truth; Norm’s actually acting to mitigate their enormous spiritual liabilities incurred as product of all the stealing and raping and murdering they’ve been synonymous with.
      You know all that shit that grinds Gods gears no end.
      God’s flirting with the notion of gangster slapping their murky souls into the Lake of Fire… counsel assisting their defence counters their exploits clearly weren’t as nefarious and wilfully malicious as God’s asserting if a global comedy icon
      can riff on their heinous misdeeds at a televised White House gala as a warm up act for the important people.
      Anyone not aware Bill and Hillary raped and murdered anyone and anyone who’s demise would curry Beelzebub’s favour must’ve REALLY had their heads in the sand.
      Somehow in a bitter irony Norm is summonsed to testify in favour of their eternal damnation, but ultimately tricked by some crafty demonic defence team members when asked under oath, (understanding Norm believes in a higher power/God and has few it any qualms about ‘calling David Spade a spade’ he goads Norm into divulging how he might postulate a Devil’s advocacy based defence of the Clintons… Norm being acutely aware is sworn an Oath to God and the courtroom to shit on any non-Clintons, with his trademark jocularity with a view to circumventing their immediate demise/oblivion.
      Norm’s finds himself bushwhacked by some sneakily contrived double bind & the Clintons are spared eternal damnation thanks to some astute defensive legal manoeuvring and Norm’s divine gift at crafting scenarios most would never have otherwise contemplated

      @@Uarehere most idiotic comment ever.
      #1 - Please explain how Clinton caused a recession 8 years after he left office? And before you yammer about the CRA, you might want to look up the fact that much of the CRA loan volume was packaged up a RE-SOLD. Idiots like you think that "Dems forced banks to make bad loans which later went bad". OK...then explain why those loans got re-sold. The originators did not carry them. If the loan was so bad, then how come it was re-sold. Last time I checked, no one forces someone else to buy something. So you are basically an idiot who is ignorant of how mortgage securities actually worked.
      #2 - Nothing was going to stop China from rising. Look at Trump...openly hostile to China...and what did it do. NOTHING. Trumps final "scorecard" vs China is as bad as anyone else's. No significant change in US outsource to China. Just as much IP theft (because American Corps basically GIVE IP to China. The trade war hurt US jobs more than it hurt China. State support and subsidies in China are still predominant.
      #3 Finally, lets not talk about how GOP refusal to regulate Wall Street, and specifically for writers of Mortgage Insurance to carry loss reserves was the #1 contributors to the mess. If just that one thing had been done, requiring writers of CDSs (I bet you are so stupid you do not even know what a CDS is) to carry loss reserves, then NONE of it ever would have happened, because the bubble could not have grown so big due to loss reserve limitations.
      So your comment is all around moronic.

      100% this... You can see the seemingly sociopathic faces in the audience refusing to make any kind of facial gesture to suggest laughter or good humor at all. Definitely top level power players who care more about staying on top than enjoying the best things in life, in my opinion. Many in the audience were good sports and laughed at the jokes about others and even themselves, respect.
