How many jokes about Christians or conservatives did he do? Zero?! Why's that? Answer those questions.

This isn't even good racism. This is like, 2000s-era ironic racism. Which was about as funny as Holocaust jokes, and aged about as well as Anne Frank.

Where's the hateful, KKK, lynchmob racism? Don't just casually half ass it. Show your real murican colors. Y'all are living like American History X and you give us Wayne Brady on Chapelles Show.

The real joke is that the Trump campaign is tripping over itself now to disavow this message. Meanwhile it's come to light that this "comedian" was going to drop a c-bomb in his material in reference to Kamala, but the Trump campaign told him to remove it, and he complied.

Meaning they vetted the material and were a-fuckin'-ok with garbage island, only to later lie more and try to backpedal.

They're not even good at lying, kids.

Edit: spelling

I'm still baffled by the logic of having a roaster/crowd work guy doing a set at a convention. Like... he was gonna insult people and start shit. It's literally his job.

He's not my cup of tea, but he's been around and successful for a while now. He's not an unknown entity who they could claim acted unpredictable.

Eminem spoke at a Harris rally. But he's an adult who cares about people and expects as much from his government.

Let me guess... the setup was going to be about the pronunciation of her name, and then he would pronounce it "Cuntmala."

These guys are Hi-Larious...

Some people find that word to be too misogynistic to use as an epithet. I'm not quite sure where I stand on that myself, but I tend to avoid it overall.

In the context of the US, it most certainly is. Other places, maybe not so much.

Why even say this? What a useless shitbag.

Racists can not help themselves. If there's a MAGAt in your life, I can pretty much guarantee they'll say some hateful shit at some point...

No it is not. Guaranteed Trump Puerto Rican voters agree. They just think it's the other Puerto Ricians that are making it that way.

Puerto Rican voters

Does someone else want to tell atempuser23?

Good thing there's only 5 million people who once lived in Puerto Rico in the 50 states and hundreds of thousands in Pennsylvania particularly

1.7% nationally isn't much when spread out. I'm sure there are districts out there which are predominantly Puerto Rican, I just don't think they're a significantly large group.

Which is why I fully support making them a state and giving them due representation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

In a close election, any decent percentage matters and they are not spread out evenly at all. For instance, there are 500,000 in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania was won by only 42k in 2016

Plus a million in Florida - that can make the florida senate race a little more competitive. New York downballot races are a big part of why dems lost the house in 2022, and there's also around a million in New York

They should certainly have representation, yes, but that's not to say the Puerto Ricans in swing states / competitive downballot won't matter either

Oh god, so stupid

I used to know someone who is half Puerto Rican, her dad is a marine, her mom is full PR. And they are ALL hardcore right wingers.

Even they wouldn't switch votes after this.
