Does Ellen know about Thomas Young's Letter to Bush?

Show this to anyone who thinks we should “be respectful” to George W Bush “even if you disagree with him” @TheEllenShow https://t.co/AKI3kK5HIk

Or Thomas' story?
Would Ellen ever had Reagan on her show after he ignored the AIDS epidemic for 7 years while her friends were dying? Will she eventually be nice to Trump and have him on for some dancing?

Ellen Who?
So much time wasted on identity.
The only thing she really accomplished was coming out. That took gravitas.
Now she's just pandering.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
This isn't just about Ellen
It's about people who used to say they had certain values, but then they threw them out when Obama became president and then they really went off the rails when Trump did.
When Will Ellen DeGeneres Visit Julian Assange?
It's the f'cking hypocrisy!
Scientists are concerned that conspiracy theories may die out if they keep coming true at the current alarming rate.
Values?
You and I are not worth the stench we put upon the land we walk.
Those who broadcast their values (such as the picture you provide) are nothing but posers imploring their so-called values on the gullible. Better than thou only for the ignorant masses.
Nothing more.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
I will disagree to some extent.
I may be a stench on earth by being born, but I had no say in
that. And I walk on it, extrude assets from it.
Like the author, I can see truth, and can and WILL speak up for it.
It is the measure of extraction. Would I take away your safety?
Or food?
The people featured in this essay would.

Speak for yourself. And the point of this essay isn't about Ellen or Rosie and I'm sorry that you missed this.

Speaking of Henry Kissinger
Hillary, who adores Kissinger on a personal level and learned foreign policy from him, got that ball rolling during the 2016 primary.

Screw the corporate media pearl-clutching that will inevitably be the reaction, and any supposed "good guy", celebrity or commoner, who carries water with them. They'll all have less moral high ground than Osama bin Laden.

Anyone want to defend Ellen's defense of Bush?
I hope Tulsi watches the video linked below and reconsiders her defense of Ellen:
As the resident
Let there be a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in this country, presided over by some modern-day equivalent of Spencer Tracey (does Tom Hanks have enough gravitas for that job???). When some of these high-level criminals have fessed up, then we can talk about liberals eating nachos with them in Jerry Jones' luxury suite and having a nice Sunday of watching gridiron action.
But we don't deal much in Truth in this country, not for those in high places. They are allowed to live out their lives rehabbing their image and polishing some of the rough spots in their résumés while influential mainstream historians prepare their whitewashing histories because those generally in TPTB Club tend to take care of each other.
Yea, war criminals suck
So do candidates who voted twice to support and even increase Trump's military budgets.
I figure candidates like that ain't gonna be that much different than Dubya especially when it comes to foreign policy.
I try to reserve
So, in my lifetime, presidents like LBJ, Nixon, and Bush definitely qualify to be called war criminals. Starting unnecessary wars, dramatically escalating very low-key military involvements, or arranging for regime change wars, and the like.
Not so much the many who may indirectly have been enablers but who didn't exactly have warmongering on their minds. Small cogs in the machine. Such as the many well-intended liberals in the senate in 1964, many of whom later became anti-VN War advocates, who voted for Lyndon's obviously suspect GoT Res.
Even Bernie has done his small-cog part by ensuring the viability of the F-35 stealth jet -- very noisy, expensive and nuke capable -- which is expected to be based in his home state. It means jobs for VT, please understand, and his state is already lagging far behind in job growth.
Senators aren't small cogs in the war machine
And I don't expect a candidate I support to be a pacifist. I support a budget for national defense (not endless warmongering).
I don't and won't ever support any candidate who voted twice to support and increase Trump's military budget.
Your choice
And voting to increase our "defense" budget obviously is something that maybe should be brought up in the next debate -- perhaps by Bernie himself??
Meanwhile, speaking of the next debate, I've just received a personal msg from Tulsi with this very interesting note: that she is currently considering boycotting the next debate b/c of problems with how the media and DNC are again rigging things to shape the political landscape to their liking.
[wokkamile] —
I want to thank you all very much for your support. I need to share something with you. It is very important: I am giving serious consideration to boycotting the next debate and I want to tell you why:
Watch now
There are so many of you who I've met in Iowa and New Hampshire who have expressed to me how frustrated you are that the DNC and corporate media are essentially trying to usurp your role as voters in choosing who our Democratic nominee will be.
I share your concerns, and I’m sure that all our supporters throughout the country do as well.
The 2016 Democratic Primary election was rigged by the DNC and their partners in the corporate media against Bernie Sanders.
In this 2020 election, the DNC and corporate media are rigging the election again, but this time against the American people in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
They are attempting to replace the roles of voters in the early states, using polling and other arbitrary methods which are not transparent or democratic, and holding so-called debates which are not debates at all but rather commercialized reality television meant to entertain, not inform or enlighten
In short, the DNC and corporate media are trying to hijack the entire election process.
In order to bring attention to this serious threat to our democracy, and ensure your voice is heard, I am giving serious consideration to boycotting the next debate on October 15th. I will announce my decision within the next few days.
With my deepest, and warmest aloha, thank you all again for your support.
– Tulsi
Yes, I too wish I had the courage..
To advocate for an establishment neo-liberal candidate in an electoral race that will ultimately be decided by those with the levers of power and influence.

Look at all these rumors
I've always been a big fan of standup comedy so I've seen a lot of comedians do their thing long before they catch fame, including Ellen. There were a lot of rumors back then, which I dismissed at the time, about how she was not at all a nice person.
Despite her secrecy about it we all knew she was a friend of Dorothy back in the 80s, and there was talk about the community trying to get her to do some gay themed jokes, but she never would do it. She told people she did not want to come out, she said it would hurt her career, and that she didn't want to be known as "the lesbian comedian". Which, since the rest of us were trying so desperately to get enough visibility to gain legal equality, became a kind of inside joke within the lesbian community -- another lesbian comedian, Suzanne Westenhoefer, used to sort of clapback on Ellen's statement as if she were addressing the talent agents, saying something like, "Call me! Book me! I will absolutely be The Lesbian Comedian! Especially if you are paying for the gig with actual cash money instead of drink tickets!"
Suzanne Westenhoefer was actually on the rise to become the first major out lesbian comedian until Ellen got her sitcom, and then was sort-of infamously outed, had her career "crash", then hooked up with first wife Anne Heche. There were more inside-the-rainbow-community rumors about Ellen being a classhole as well as a total hound dog and not asking for permission before touching and kissing women she didn't know at the bars. Then her career took off like a fuckin rocket for the stratosphere of Oprah level fame. I've given her the side-eye ever since, and this shit with helping to rehabilitate W's public image convinces me that at some point she knowingly, willingly made a deal with the proverbial devil.
Watch Jimmy Dore’s clip about Ellen

Wolves of Hollywood
I think after the CIA descended on the place during the blacklist days it's kept control over the tv & film industry ever since. Anyone with two bits of conscience left to rub together should get the hell out of there.
Only one Hollywood
At one time he made bold, anti-MIC films which challenged the established order. JFK, Nixon, Born Fourth July, Salvador.
Not so many lately. Perhaps the ferocious backlash from TPTB after his unwelcome JFK caused him to pull back.
Afaik, all the rest are just making easy fluffy entertainments or playing along with the MIC script in order to make their movies and remain players in Hollywood.
Except
his recent film, Ukraine on Fire.

Oh Suzanne Westenhoefer
I loved Suzanne back in the the late 80's early 90's. My friends would take me with them when they went to watch her shows. We saw her a couple times in San Fran and elsewhere.
Friends of Dorothy! I have forgotten all about that saying. I had not heard the rumors of Ellen being a hound dawg though, but then I only saw one of her stand up comedies back when she was just getting started. Some hole in the wall joint in the Central Valley of CA.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Our betters are getting too comfortable
They're not even trying to maintain kayfabe anymore. Everyone knows you're supposed to wait until the guy is dead before the whitewashing so most people will have forgotten their deeds and you can accuse anyone else of being disrespectful to the grieving family or whatever. Trump has so messed up these people's worlds that they forget W is the guy who was the Democrat's Trump before Trump. The pelbes haven't yet been conditioned to forget that yet. While Ellen's audience may coo and applaud, I'm hoping it takes more than a tweet from some rando about how Ellen sitting next to W warmed his heart to make this situation die down. (Not holding my breath.)

Brilliant! “. . . W is the guy who was the Democrats’ Trump
before Trump.” Succinct, and true.

Thanks!
Ellen can shove it tut tutting about getting along with people we have a difference of political opinion with. I do that every day of my life. But the embrace of W by the exact same Dems who hollered for years that the man was satan incarnate* once again proves the old George Carlin line about it being a big club.
* remember when Hugo Chavez made a remark to exactly that effect at the UN and the lefties all cheered??? Seems so long ago...

The answer to your last question is yes.
DeGeneres is one of the many cogs in the great Overton Wheel. The point is to make extreme political beliefs seem normal and the morally repulsive seem acceptable.

Hillary had Ellen promote her state department business
-In another leaked official State Department exchange, a top government aide and the Secretary of State discuss Ellen Degeneres’ quote, “willingness to do whatever we ask.”
-So, just to recap, Ellen Degeneres is willing to covertly push official government foreign policy under the guise of a silly, non-threatening morning talk show. You with me so far? Interestingly, Sony is the company that distributes The Ellen Degeneres Show.
And it's not just Ellen who does this.
-If you were getting your news from Jake Tapper in the fallout during the Sony hacks you probably have no idea the incredible bombshells that were revealed, notably among them is the tight link between Sony and, you guessed it, the government. Specifically the CIA/State Department
There is a highly connected press agency that represents most of the people in the media and in Hollywood. I linked it once. Might be able to find it if anyone is interested.

Never forget. Never forgive.
I am so glad I am not the only one who cannot and will not let this go.
George W Bush RAPED MY ENTIRE GENERATION.
THIS is why the country has lost its mind - the superficial mind of language and culture forgets...but the true mind, the true, noumenal, rational intellect from which all good and reason springs (quite the contrary to the totalitarian doctrines of Freud and his ideological aeons, not to mention Christianity itself) REMEMBERS...as, of course, does flesh, and the universe itself...

Never forgive?
Even if the person admits and is sorry for his/her harmful action?
Even if the person then makes reparations?
Even if the person then seeks forgiveness?
Granted, Dubya fails on all these counts.
I meant in reference this specific case...
...not as an absolute commandment.
As I've come to believe, there are no rules in the real universe; there are only FACTS. Therefore, it would be prudent to interpret most anything I say in a situational/contextual sense.

Ok, I'll exercise prudence.
But I'd like to think I could find it in myself to forgive Bush if he did the things I suggested above. I won't be expecting him to do any one of those things, though.
Do Republicans
It's the Daddy Party after all -- Real Men Don't Apologize. Leave all that to the wimpy Mommy Party Demonrats.
Or as John Wayne, also a Republican and proto-Reagan RW Nut, once said in a movie: “Never apologize and never explain—it's a sign of weakness.”
forgive
Even Anonymous now occasionally uses the line "we may forgive, but we never forget".
But you're right: Dumbya does fail on all those counts, making either forgiveness or forgetting rather difficult.
