Political rants

I think there is a Mar a largo connection. He was on tape saying something along the lines of "I like them *garbled words* 13, 14, 15! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Nothing more substantial than that though.

I saw this and it made me think of what's happening with Dave Chappelle. Hilarious this was from 6 years ago, but no one cancelled Bill Maher for making LGBQT jokes. https://youtu.be/DFeDFva6tcg

You honestly think that Twitter or any other far-left bozo really cares about LGBT, race or anything? Only thing they care about is getting rid of anyone who isn't them.

Comedy is a pure subjective matter, You can find some joke distasteful and offensive but at the end of the day, being offended doesn't mean anything and definitively doesn't trump the right of free speech. If we are going to start restricting free speech and "cancel" comedian for their Jokes, what is going to happen is that those jokes will keep coming in greater numbers and in even more extreme version just for the pure purpose of provoking.

He's selling out shows, he's not canceled. One of the best comedians ever if not the greatest of our time. He would have to do some Cosby-like shit to get canceled. Lots of people say he's a nice guy and very genuine. His actions speak volumes for his character and I truly believe he will do more for Daphne's child more than the LGBTQ community ever will. *adding on re Cosby Some here are probably too young to know or remember, but there were rumors when I was a child in the 80s and 90s that Cosby drugged and raped women. That's I was so confused when people credited Hannibal Buress for outing this "dark Hollywood rumor" in 2014. Pulled this from wiki - it's cited with sources The earliest allegation against Bill Cosby dates back to December 1965: in 2005, Kristina Ruehli[24] came forward as Jane Doe #12 in the Andrea Constand case and alleged that Cosby had drugged and assaulted her at that time in his Beverly Hills home. Further, Ruehli said she had told her boyfriend about the incident, and had told her daughter in the 1980s. In the early 1980s, Joan Tarshis told freelance reporter John Milward about an alleged sexual assault by Cosby. Milward did not write about the allegations.[25] In 1996, Playboy Playmate Victoria Valentino gave a videotaped interview in which she made sexual assault allegations against Cosby. The interview was conducted for an exposé on the lives of Playboy models, which was never published.[25]

https://www.thedailybeast.com/dave-chappelle-backed-by-family-of-late-transgender-comedian-daphne-dorman-from-the-closer And, as he began to close the show out, Chappelle launched into a story about his friend and fellow comedian, Daphne Dorman—a transgender woman he’d struck up a friendship with after bonding over their shared humor and their ability to have an open conversation about identity. He had previously referred to their friendship in his 2019 Netflix special Sticks & Stones, and credited Dorman for defending him against similar admonishment after some of his jokes in the set were labeled transphobic. The crowd let out a slight gasp when Chappelle stated that Dorman had taken her own life in October 2019, a few weeks after sticking up for him online. “I don’t know what the trans community did for her,” Chappelle said, “but I don’t care, because I feel like she wasn’t their tribe. She was mine. She was a comedian in her soul.” ... “Daphne was in awe of Dave’s graciousness,” Dorman’s sister Becky wrote in a text. “She did not find his jokes rude, crude, off-coloring, off-putting, anything. She thought his jokes were funny. Daphne understood humor and comedy—she was not offended. Why would her family be offended?” “Dave loved my sister and is an LGBTQ ally,” Dorman’s younger sister Brandy added in a text message. “His entire set was begging to end this very situation.” “At this point I feel like he poured his heart out in that special and no one noticed,” Brandy wrote in a separate Facebook post. “What he’s saying to the LGBTQ family is, ‘I see you. Do you see me? I’m mourning my friend in the best way I know how. Can you see me? Can you allow me that?’... This was a call to come together, that two oppressed factions of our nation put down their keyboards and make peace. How sad that this message was lost in translation.”

Ernie drives him crazy but also Ernie is what keeps Bert from unleashing his full potential of destruction upon the world.

Bout time the book burning shit hit the mainstream. Took four days since I'd heard of it. Who tries to burn digital books, anyways?

@chocopyro lol I was just going to use the picture but the "article" is actually pretty great. SEATTLE, WA—Amazon announced today that Kindle users will now have the ability to virtually participate in book burnings, that time-honored tradition of tolerant, open societies. The Kindle platform will feature a new area called the “Kindle Bonfire”, where users can throw select books into a virtual inferno. “Good old-fashioned book burnings have really gone by the wayside,” said Amazon spokesman Heinrich von Schnitzelkopf. “Seems there aren’t as many print books out there, for some reason. So here at Amazon, we wanted to find a way to still involve people in destroying dangerous books, like books about chromosomes. Now, people from across the globe can join together via Kindle Bonfire, around the warm glow of outdated literature.” Amazon has selected a library of objectionable books that users may not read but can burn, including all science and history textbooks, as well as pretty much anything written before 2018. After picking a few books, users will then control an avatar that flings books into the Kindle Bonfire while shouting slogans like, “Hate has no home here!” Avatars may then give each other socially distanced air-fives, and celebrate the coming peace that always follows an ascendant cultural force burning all dissent. While a few distributors still exist that will sell the books slated for burning, Amazon plans to buy those distributors or bash them in with a shovel. The U.S. government has offered to provide any assistance necessary to ensure no small business stands in the way of Amazon blazing the way to utopia.
