I would far rather listen to an educated uplifting speech from Kermit than Trump's idiotic blathering at the graduation speech he gave.

At least Kermit had a direct tie to Marland.

Arlene Law's avatar

Indeed Kermit was more articulate than DT

DeeLion's avatar

What's the saying? Everyday, anyway & twice on Sunday....Kermit!!!

Boy has she got the wrong take on who her school chose as a speaker. It’s the invisible person behind the Muppet that they are honoring. Jim Henson was one of the most inventive, kind, and caring man that stands tall in the memories of anyone who watched Sesame Street.

Dorothy Lewis's avatar

She has everything wrong. Helping Veterans and entrepreneurs??? Not with this presidency. Lol what an idiot. We love you Jim. Stay rested in peace

Concerned Citizen's avatar

Right?! She is clearly not paying attention.

Sandra Blessman's avatar

Not at all what can you expect from a maga. They can’t think for themselves they have to stick to the part line

Tracy Christenson-Nutt's avatar

Isn't this where the blonde ç..ŭ..ń..ţ, Ingraham, tells the "dumb" athlete to "stay in her lane" & "stay out of politics", (very apropos since she was a swimmer??)?

Dorothy Lewis's avatar

Too bad she didnt drown. I mean that in a nice way ( nice for us lol)

We know Kermit is not real. He represents a master of kindness, Mr.Henson.

Christy Jobe Carter's avatar

Gaines has all sorts of issues to include understanding reality, hers is altered. To her he is real and a villain to boot.

Judy Cross's avatar

Maybe it's the monster in her closet that she's afraid of or could it be the monster in the WH.

DW's avatar

To her he is a puppet

DW's avatar

All of the above except

Kermit IS real

Ask Miss Piggy

Mr Henson brought them to life and they continue on in his spirit and in those of us who love them.

Kermit is as real as Love💚

Carol Q's avatar

Narrow mindedness can’t see past their own self. I feel sorry for her and the young people who might look at her as a heroine in her sport.

May Lee's avatar

She’s a loser - and not just in sports.

Marcia Schnell's avatar

It wasn't even her school! Sadly, she's a University of Kentucky grad.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Kentucky 👎💩💩💩

Sharon Jones's avatar

I love this post and Kermit's sentiment. I disagree with Gaines' hateful remarks. But again, instead of disparaging Kentucky, take a Kentuckian's hand and leap together.

David's avatar

It is kinda telling that many of the MAGA Communism counter-movement are from red states and young. There you can see how deeply concerned people get pushed into the other direction when almost everyone around them wears a red hat and speaks rubbish.

Aww now, be nice. I retired from UK and my son graduated from there. We've been UK fans forever. One bad apple...you know.

Kathie Punturiero's avatar

I have found that many who espouse the MAGA viewpoint are not capable of thinking about others or being able think at a higher level other than just facile comprehension. Thanks, Ron. On point as usual. Thank you for helping me keep some semblance of sanity—— which is no small task.

May Lee's avatar

Excellent, intelligent reply - thank you.

Cyn B's avatar

They have no depth. They are just shallow inbreds.

Linda Fulcher's avatar

And absolutely no sense of humor.

Lisa Ellison's avatar

Alice,

A most astute response. Puppets ARE their masters. How incredibly thick is RG who is so strangled by her insane ideology that she doesn't see the irony in her remarks. WHO is the puppet Riley? Who is spouting the inanities of her master/fearless leader? Riley..behold thyself.

Lisa's avatar

His documentary was heartfelt emotion. Half a box of Kleenex inspiring.

Ilene Kent's avatar

They hate anyone who is kind and compassionate.

Teri Gelini's avatar

She is just a hateful b**ch who is just a revenge seeking person. Sad.

Coleen Sutherland's avatar

A Maga moron cultist no doubt.

Margie Upchurch's avatar

Agree! But of course some people can’t think that deeply, just seeing a puppet. Duh.🙄 Maybe they should go back to school…University of Maryland is a great school. Go Terps!

Sandra Blessman's avatar

That’s it in a nut shell

Kelly Grey's avatar

If you have to go after Kermit to validate yourself, you got problems 🤦‍♀️

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Well, punching down is a GOP/MAGA specialty.

Old Man's avatar

F🖕🏽ck maga-nazi morons!

Survivor58's avatar

What would they say about Ms. Piggy or The Count? My father liked the two old guys in the balcony and I enjoyed watching The Muppets. My God, what is wrong these people? Hide your cartoons, everyone…

Patricia Fehrenbacher's avatar

Political cartoons are as old as time and many who don’t have the capacity to think can’t understand them! I’m sure Kermit’s speech has more meaning and inspiration than any of trumps or noems or any of the others👏👏👏 for Kermit💕🩷🩷💕

Angie's avatar

I don’t care how hard I worked for my degrees or how much my parents wanted to see me walk across the stage, ain’t no damn way if any of these nazis were speaking 🙂‍↔️😒

Gigi's avatar

Sesame Street is still a wonderful show for all ages. Even Oscar the Grouch has more humanity than donnie-two-dolls.

Survivor58's avatar

Wow, I haven’t watched Sesame Street in ages. 😅 PBS, would have Sesame Street and The Electric Company on. Morgan Freeman was on The Electric Company when I was in H.S. Needless to say, I’m 66 years young now. I guess being a Baby Boomer is not so bad. ☮️

A R's avatar

After School Specials, LaVar Burton (?) and Reading Rainbow, the cartoon series about conjuctions, the Constitution, etc. etc. So much PBS does/did to help educate ourselves and our children. A big step up from Captain Kangaroo and Howdy Doody.

Robin's avatar

Going after Kermit is part of the GOP's defunding PBS and broad scope childhood/ pre-school education. To stop the joy of learning.

So sad. I was in the first generation (now 54) to have Sesame St and the Muppets. Loved the primetime Muppets Show too... esp Beeker & the Swedish Chef

BitsyBelle's avatar

This article about Kermit’s speech made me cry. I began watching Sesame Street in 1971 when I was 21 and my oldest daughter was two years old. I watched it through 2 more daughters and a daycare home until the late 80s. Best show ever.

Jean Conley's avatar

No--it was (guess still is) great!

Sandra Mapson's avatar

Yeah!! I remembered watching it. And Zoom, (not the app) a television show right after Electric Company. Yup!! I'm 61 young. ☮️✌️

Lisa's avatar

Thank goodness we got to enjoy those shows on PBS. No more funding for those "woke" programs says our emperor.

Kay G's avatar

The emperor with no mind vs no clothes

May Lee's avatar

Well thank God we don’t have to see him IRL with no clothes - he’s an obese ugly old man - a white slug body and that neon orange face.

Cathy Delia's avatar

I loved the Muppet Show!

Survivor58's avatar

Me too. Did Kermit and Ms. Piggy ever marry? As a child, Sunday evening’s was Family time. The big dinner and desert. Then Jacques Cousteau and The Wonderful World of Disney. It baffles my mind why anyone turns something so simple into an abomination.

Katie's avatar

It’s actually become a long-running joke that they keep coming close to marrying, but something always gets in the way

JA's avatar

Kermit had a good job, too? And a place to live! Kermit and Miss Piggy were the perfect couple, but she wanted to keep her name!

Cathy Delia's avatar

If they had gotten married, MAGA would've flipped out. I don't think they like interracial marriage much less inter-species.

Cathy Delia's avatar

The good old days. How things have changed.

Lisa's avatar

These are the "good old days" I'd gladly go back to:) Not what the GOP is touting for sure.

Richard's avatar

Sunday!! Your message evoked many memories for me of my home growing up! Sundays were sacred, family time. Thanks for the memory and the smiles that came with it!

PxDemaR's avatar

One of the reasons including Star Wars, that I have Disney Channel... All Muppet Show seasons there!✌️

Diane J's avatar

I still do and I'm 82, not senile, and still have a sense of wonder at the creativity of Jim Henson as well as the wonderful way he taught, through his puppets, so many lessons about life and how to get through it kindly.

KBork's avatar

I particularly loved the Grouch and Cookies Monster... which one was in the trashcan...gains and the Repulsives certainly would "connect" with that character.

Bruce's avatar

I don't know, Oscar was a grouch, but he wasn't evil. These people are evil. Cookie Monster had an underlying goodness, something they certainly cannot relate to.

A R's avatar

All the Muppets had goodness as an underlaying attribute. 47 has evil for his underpinnings. No mercy in that human.

Susan Raquel's avatar

Cookie Monster was my favorite and a big joke because I loved cookies -- still do. I recently watched an old episode of Jimmy Kimmel giving his aunt a hard time -- as usual. In looking for it I saw that Jimmy has been involved with Sesame Street for a long time. :-) That, I am sure, doesn't help matters any since Trump hates Jimmy.

In the 2024 episode he features the trashcan: " February 13, 2024

Oscar appears in a sketch with Kimmel, his cousin Mickey, and his aunt Chippy. At the end, they all sing "I Love Trash". (YouTube)

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Jimmy_Kimmel_Live

My son had a Kermit hand puppet. We spent a lot of time playing with that. Kermit could magically eat things ( there was a hole and small things would go through it and disappear). Fond memories, I hadn't thought about that for years. My son is now 50 years old.

Betsy L's avatar

No, because Oscar's grouchiness was funny, sarcastic, and relevant. The grouchiness of people on Faux is simply petty.

Angie's avatar

Grover is still my favorite 💙

KBork's avatar

Oh, that's right 👍!!

Sandra Mapson's avatar

Bert and Ernie!! And don't forget Big Bird!

Heidi L 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇬🇱's avatar

Waldorf and Statler in the balcony!!

This regime and its sycophantic followers are based in fear and hate, and need to constantly feed that by stomping on anything good, hopeful, and uplifting. Bitter hatefullness must not win!

Jean Conley's avatar

So did I! They were great! (Guess it's probably still "ARE" since I don't think cartoon characters ever die!)

Jean Conley's avatar

I think their names were Statler and Waller or something like that?

Betsy L's avatar

Statler and Waldorf. Their humor was so good!

Kathy  Welch's avatar

Kermit forever!!! 💚💚💚💚

Margaret Doskocz's avatar

I think deep down, the magats are bitter because no one likes them

Steve Doll's avatar

Or that Kermit is more popular, uplifting and well-known than their idle - er, idol.

Claudia chewning's avatar

Maybe she should listen to a frog. It seems like it makes better sense and has more human compassion than she does.

Russell Meyer's avatar

He might give her swimming tips, too!

Jude Johnson's avatar

LOL Lapping that one up!

Carol Q's avatar

She might have come in 1st!!! lol 🥇

Lisa's avatar

Yassss! Chef's kiss.

Jaylynn2's avatar

Thank you for adding a snippet of what Kermit said. Poor girl probably doesn’t realize that Henson is an alum; and probably made her comments before even knowing what was said. They are just NASTY for the sake of being NASTY!!!!🤮

KBork's avatar

I call it dimwitted and evilness...

T L Mills's avatar

The header said it all: "Desperately Seeking Relevance" I doubt the viable life of influencing lasts very long for any individual "influencer". There must be a lot of pressure to always be on the edge and always looking for the next trendy thing.

What a waste of your young years Riley. Beware--they do not last and you'll be sorry and perhaps even ashamed of wasting that time.

May Lee's avatar

Magas are incapable of feeling shame. That why they can do the things they are doing.

T L Mills's avatar

True...I don't have much hope for that bitter child, Riley. But maybe someday...in her twilight years, long after I have passed on, she will regret wallowing in bitterness and anger and mourn the waste of her life.

Jacque DeWolf's avatar

just like tRump and the entire corrupt administration

Margareta Dahlin's avatar

;-) From Sweden > Yellow + Blue = Green <3

Kermit is much loved in my country!

HOW can we help you from EUROPE? Please, tell!

Old people(retired ones) cannot afford political donations as much as they want to, and sometimes not allowed either! No USA-passport number, you see!

But we can write comments here and there, and, also, sending donations to UNICEF feels fine!

Republican FB-friends are deaf for arguments! "When will they ever learn ...?

Deb Pierce's avatar

Tack sa mycket för hjalpen! Vi ar valdigt ledsna. Also I wish my Swedish were better!

Jennifer L Lattimer's avatar

She was obviously not raised with wholesome TV programming as a child. Not only was Kermit honoring his creator, but giving a heartfelt speech to student's & encouraging them to be better people.

Victoria Baker's avatar

That's the trouble. They don't want to be better people, to think about the consequences of their actions and to be conscious of others around them. It's all, compete for who can be the most thoughtless mean selfish asswipe.

Nancy Taylor's avatar

Oh my Lord, Riley G. You need some counselling about your Nazi opinions. Just because you don't have a place "in the sun" any longer, doesnt mean you have to crush others that do.

May Lee's avatar

Just a jealous “has been” at her young age poor thing

Chris Burnell's avatar

Instead of venting on the messenger, take time to listen to the message itself, which was positive, uplifting and relevant.

Shan's avatar

A dear friend (22yrs) was a graduate at #UMD & the students were thrilled w/ Kermit’s wholesome & inspiring message! 👏🏼👏🏼 #GoMaryland

Angelbuttercup85's avatar

It was a beautiful message so it does not matter who spoke, its the message that counts.

Shane j's avatar

It is a fucking puppet. Fox it not real

Get a life kind of sad that people can be triggered with a kids puppet

Steve Doll's avatar

Yeah, but Fu**s specializes in the non-real.

Shane j's avatar

Everyone has their own definition of what is real

Marianne Klee's avatar

It is ironic how they are the real puppets, blindly following Bonespurs Bonaparte.
