Rosie O’Donnell hits back calling Trump ‘King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan’ (www.independent.co.uk)

Rosie O’Donnell fired right back at Donald Trump after he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post on Truth Social on Saturday morning.

The comedian and former talk show host, a longtime critic of the president, was — like Trump — born in New York to one American-born parent and one immigrant parent.

In a blistering response to his threat, she called him “King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,” a reference to a much-hated, sadistic, authoritarian character from Game of Thrones.

From my perspective, he's still salty about her making fun of him back in the 90s on her daily TV talk show. He made it worse by not letting it go and taking out full page ads in the New York Times in response. She would then show the ads to the audience and read it on the air. Then she would make new jokes about what a giant man-baby he was.

That was enough to convince me, then, that Donald Trump was not a good person. That was about 25 years ago. I have not changed my mind about him. In fact, I dislike him much more now than I did then. It astounds me that anyone voted for that moron.

[-] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

I’m right there with you. I hate him and his cadre of slimeball traitorous morons with the fury of a thousand suns.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 79 points 5 days ago

Donald Trump

It still astonishes me that a country with 340 million people can pick this guy to be its leader and public face.

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 52 points 5 days ago

He gave people permission to say and act on their most vile thoughts.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

This prompted me to think "What is my most vile thought?"

And I guess it's sexual fetishes. But even with that, even though I'm doing horribly mean things to/with women, and putting them through absolute punishment, I'm still getting consent first.

That being said, why is it so hard to ask to find a woman who will let me tie them to my bed naked, put a ginger root in their mouth, and tell them if they drop it, I'll carve it into a dildo, shove in their ass, and spank them? Then to make sure that happens, I tickle their feet.

See? Totally vile, and evil, and sadistic......but they have a safeword and give consent first! I'm not a monster.

[-] darvocet@infosec.pub 10 points 5 days ago

I've never even contemplated the existence of a ginger dildo until this moment.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Basically, when you spank someone the natural instinct is to tense up. By tensing up you make the spank less impactful and hurt less.

By putting the ginger root in her ass, it burns from inside. By tensing up, she makes it burn much more. By staying relaxed it burns less.

So it puts her in a situation where if she tenses, it burns. If she stays relaxed the spanks hurt much more.

It's called "figging".

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 9 points 5 days ago

Jesus Christ, username definitely checks out.

[-] Ersatz86@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

OK?

TIL that my kinks need…honing? Attenuation?

Maybe I’m just not trying hard enough.

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

I realized long ago that I’m really tame in bed, and I accepted it 🤣

I remember when I was a kid, and I said Raphiel was the coolest Ninja Turtle. And everybody else said Michelangelo.

I was told I was wrong because otherwise it would mean everyone else was wrong.

I said "Then everyone else is wrong together. Just like when they cancelled PeeWee's Playhouse."

I'm now 41, and still stand by both statements. Everyone can be wrong together.

[-] b161 7 points 5 days ago

He really epitomises America.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They truly did get what they asked for and I don't mean now but decades on decades in th making.

They're run by a rube. A charlatan. A bigot. A liar. A racist. A man with no morals. A man with no God above the Almighty dollar.

This is America.

Many people have stated this, but the good that came from Trump is now it's all laid bare. They are no longer hiding who they are.

This is America.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

You should include a trigger warning with that pic 4real

[-] prole 2 points 5 days ago

Ew, please provide some warning.

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 71 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I really don't like her either, but damn, that got an authentic "Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho damn..." belly laugh out of me.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

What’s wrong with Rosie? She’s a little too loud and obnoxious to me, but that could be just me reacting to the Yankee in her. Otherwise she’s not harming anyone I know of.

[-] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 23 points 5 days ago

Maybe op was confusing Rosie and Roseanne?

[-] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 days ago

That’s my guess too. Roseanne Barr got into some hot water after posting some racist BS, then blaming it on her Ambien. The maker of Ambien actually responded to her excuse with something along the lines of “being a racist is not a known side effect of ambien.”

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

lol!😂 I didn’t hear that ambien maker reply part yet. I do remember her spouting off a while back.

Oh no, I’m a loser racist shitbird. You can’t do ‘Roseanne’ without me!

Hold my beer. 🍺

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

If so, then yeah. Roseanne is a pretty horrible person.

[-] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago

Holy shit, thank you for that clarification. Idk why but I had them confused and could've sworn she was pro-trump (the whole RFK thing) but that was just Roseanne. I was even wondering why she was looking 10x better but just turned out I was being a dunce lol.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Roseanne has come out against the orange rapist/pedophile recently.

That's been happening a lot today

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You know what, you're partly correct! Barr is an absolute bitch who should have taken the opportunity presented after the whole racism thing to just disappear.

However, I've just never found Rosie to be a likeable person. Even going back to her stand up days, I've always found her annoying and abrasive. I do very much appreciate her tearing Trump apart though!

[-] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah Rosie O’Donnell is pretty great. She’s an OG.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 51 points 5 days ago

Getting in a war of words with a professional stand up comedian.

That doesn't seem like a very "stable genius " move.

[-] III@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

I am sure many of the comedians out there are calling Rosie to offer material.

Getting in a war of words with a professional stand up comedian.

These people never learn lol...

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago

Don't forget Joffrey was also born from incest.

[-] regedit@feddit.online 9 points 5 days ago

tRump just fantasizes about it with his daughter.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago

Joffrey had more charm

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 15 points 5 days ago

And intelligence and a plan. He was a petulant child, though.

[-] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

Joffrey also had some decently smart people helping him. The lad would've gotten his throat slit long ago if Tywin wasn't around.

Fear is how they win, I like her response.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 days ago

That's an insult to Joffrey.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

And Tywin if we're honest

[-] ijedi1234@sh.itjust.works 38 points 5 days ago

I want to see Trump drink from that cup on live TV.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

I'd love that, and more of they blamed Melania, lol!

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago

That might hurt him if he read the books or watched the show.

All he watches is Faux News and probably old episodes of The Apprentice. He has no idea who Joffrey is.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 days ago

Something to do with ballet?

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago

That’s the bear with the little car right?

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

He's the king, so that must be good, right?

[-] rockSlayer 15 points 5 days ago

That's an excellent reference. May he drink from his cup soon.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Damn... she put him in his place

[-] Pratai@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Yeah… I’m sure he’ll stop now.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Wouldn't that be nice?

[-] johnwicksdog@aussie.zone 9 points 5 days ago

Hahaha. She’s not wrong.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Don't give him more ideas.
