So true, her comments are her downfall. I do feel sorry for the cast and behind the scenes people that lost their jobs.

It was her worst mistake but there are others who make her remarks look tame in comparison. She got instant Karma. Other comedians have done the same yet they are still working. Very sad for her coworkers. A great Clerihew Jan! ...these are a challenge for me. : )

Yes you are so right Connie some folks can get away with anything, others get grief from their actions:-( I found the contest a challenge as I only know DT but I ended up writing 3 poems then had to decide which one to post:-) hugs jan xx

Well, If one is going to show themselves in that way; one must expect consequences. There truly is something to be said for having diplomacy and tact.

She says outrageous things ...and thinks it's fine..

Jan Allison

There are many who do the same thing Joseph I can think of a certain US President who does the same thing!:-( hugs jan xx

If they support Trump, I say dump!

Jan Allison
Date: 7/22/2018 12:55:00 PM

Ha Ha Ha I think that was the real reason behind her departure, but as Trump makes so many obnoxious tweets maybe they can get rid of him too lol:-) hugs jan xx

So much for freedom of speech. It is a sad state of affairs when a comedian gets blasted for making a dumb joke. Fallen star, more like vilified. I say worse everyday. Most likely most of us do. We just don't tweet it for the world to see.

I've read today she got 'dumped' because she was a trump supporter, where ever the truth lies its a sad state of affairs. Makes me So glad I don't do social media!:-) hugs jan xx
