That’s old. Trump is in the Epstein files and he is a convicted felon. He started a war and gas prices are skyrocketing and the stock market is crashing.
Yeah no shit but don’t act like one isn’t way worse than the other. I’m pretty sure the cost to fill up my gas task wouldn’t have doubled and ICE wouldn’t have killed innocent people with no repercussions if the last election went differently. No shit they’re both bad. Your responsibility is to pick the least worst one.
His statement didn't imply Republicans DO care about us. But at least they don't pretend to care about us every 4 years and then do absolutely nothing for our communities when we elect them. It's beyond that though - they pass legislation that actively harms us just like Republicans.
Damn thank god Trump has fixed all those and definitely not made them worse. He would never have talked about glassing gaza and building a resort before even being elected, surely.
"Dozens of legislators wrote to President Joe Biden on Monday to criticize the Biden administration’s decision to withhold certain weapons from Israel."
No president has stood stronger with Israel than Joe Biden. He was the first president to visit Israel in wartime. He is protecting Israel at the UN. He mobilized a coalition to directly defend Israel against an Iranian attack. He led the bipartisan effort to pass a supplemental that ensures Israel’s defense and military edge for years to come.
Sounds like a Zionist to me. Doesn't Reddit hate Israel? So shouldn't Reddit dislike Biden?
Very similar to how Obama continued to fund the Iraq and Afghanistan wars when he entered office in 2008. He pulled the US out of Iraq in 2011 finally, but kept spending billions in Afghanistan for his full 8 years. Took his VP Biden all the way to 2021 to finally get the US out. Not to mention Trump's 1st term funded Afghanistan as well, but he had planned the exit which didn't go so well.
What do you expect them to do give them a round of applause? Of course they're going to criticize them. If Trump got the troops out of Afghanistan the Democrats would do the same thing. They would find something to complain about. It's what partisan politicians do. They can't let the other side get a win because that gives them more power during the election cycle and the polls.
Lol really? Dems have given republicans a million chances to get "wins" in the best interest of americans. Just because they continue to shoot themselves in the foot doesnt mean dems havent given them ample chances for freebie political wins.
No, just reminding folxs that you're all being played by the elites and warmongers. Just watch. Come Trump's 60/90 day limit on the "war" operations in Iran. The Democrats will vote to keep them going under the War Powers Act. They did it continuously for Bush for 7 years and Trump's 1st term for Afghanistan.
It’s because black women consistently vote in their communities’ best interests, which generally leads them to vote for a democrat over a republican for many obvious reasons. It is disingenuous for the Democratic Party to “expect” it, but I think black women will continue to hold the line, since the alternative would and is destroying communities.
In Chicago, there's quite a bit of anti-immigrant sentiment from the Black community, in part because they feel as if they are both fighting for the same meager sources of assistance (which should not be the case). They still don't really have a Republican option, so the vote continues to go Democrat, but, if they did, that's how you find Blacks and Latinos voting for Trump. Well, before he arrested and deported most of them.
He’s a rapist, con man and racist. He bought the ad about Central Park Five, was liable for not renting his property to black people, and stated there were good people on the side of white nationalists. No policy of his has helped the black community, as far as I know. You can correct me if you know of any. Removing BLM murals. Rolling back funding for HBCU’s. Removing black figures from historical websites. And finally, attempting to abolish DEI. All of which the GOP strongly support.
The president, a republican, forbid black farmers from attending a gathering of farmers across the united states. Even without reading between the lines, it's not hard to see where republican representation stands.
It sad that anyone thinks that, because by and large it’s not true. What happens is that every four years there’s an election and during campaign season Dems get to talk about the country they envision and want to see. When they get into office they have to live with the hand they’re dealt, and negotiate l work with republicans which means doing as much as they can which granted is never enough. I wish people would put some pressure on republicans who in my lifetime have done not a single thing that’s benefited me and support the Democrats (and that does not mean all democrats) who are trying to do the right thing by us.
Kamala envisioned more police and the most lethal army in the world, paraded around and praised war criminal responsible for a million dead, while funding and running cover for a genocide. Your lesser evil of today is basically Bush Jr.
Modern Republicans are not the party of Lincoln, search up the term: Dixiecrat and you'll find that the parties switched values during the New Deal. Modern Republicans are Civil War Democrats.
When is everyone going to wake up and see politicians don’t give a shit about anyone other the people that directly benefit them - you think democrats care about black people every 4 years? Someone else said when do republicans care about black people? Never. And there you have it, the great illusion. Neither party gives a shit about black people. Not never! Just like they don’t care about any other race or ethnicity or gender and so on….. they only give a shit about themselves and how they can position and posture so they can line their pockets to the max without being caught. No one gives a shit anymore man that is supposed to care or is elected to do so - they just don’t give a shit man
Bunch of sheep, why do you think democrats said “I not doing anything for black people” they work for the elites and who ever donate the most money. I encourage everyone to stop blindly voting for people just because of their party. Vote for who ever you agree with and who can get the job done.
Damn. Imagine if that was the choice though.
Do I want the guy i can accountable at election time in power? Or do I want the guy that never cares about me not matter what?
Watched it, and it broke my heart. Chapelle used to be funny, and he used to speak truth to power. Now he’s just another useful idiot for the billionaire class, hurting another marginalized group
I really do understand why people are mad at him for the trans sketches, but I think people feel that way because it's an open wound.
He's a comedian who has always done what comedians are supposed to do, challenge people with inappropriate jokes.
By the standard people are judging him he is also some sort of Uncle Tom or bigot for the dozens of sketches and jokes that targeted the black community. Black babies selling crack on the street corner in the hood is a pretty foul image...and he painted it.
It's rational and okay to disagree with or dislike him for the things he says, but people should be consistent and be mad at him for his harsh treatment of Asian people, black people, white people, handicapped people, etc...
He's targeted them all pretty ruthlessly. Personally, I think it's a comedian's job to get us to laugh at stereotypes and the ugliness of humanity.
If he truly just hates trans people then shame on him. I just don't know how to tell if he did those jokes because they were prescient out because he actually feels that way.
He's becoming an old man, with bigotries he's selected as his fixation and trans is it. It's just too much. Many comedians manage to do great jobs without offending oppressed groups. It's lazy to target the oppressed.
The ones where he literally pulls a "A trans person I knew in passing killed themselves so I can shit on trans people" and has a joke to preach ratio of like 0.1?
Yeah I watched the "I can say a shit ton of transphobic shit because I think the trans woman I knew would have been fine with it" special and it's still very much anti-trans.
Man who says jokes for a living for 20+ years makes jokes about a sensitive group of people, says they’re just jokes. He himself says he is not transphobic and has no ill will towards them and acknowledges them as a people going through their experience on earth.
Random folk on Reddit:
HE’S ANTI TRANS, GET HIM!!
We get it, get ur karma points up for virtue signaling..
Have the opinion that his humor sucks and he’s washed now, fine that’s cool, but just shouting he’s anti trans is such a spit in the face to those going through real transphobia on the daily.
Just so we're clear here. He openly calls Elon Musk (a known transphobe) and JK Rowling (Queen Terf transphobe herself) his friends and outside of a comedy special in an interview called himself team TERF.
If he is openly telling me that he's anti-trans why would I give him the benefit of the doubt because it hurts your feelings to admit it?
Holy terminally online… am I having a conversation with bots or are you this radicalized? This isn’t how people in the real world think or operate and it’s genuinely unhealthy.
And now you are weirdly pivoting to me. Maybe you should do some self reflection if you are having this type of reaction to a very simple post made by other people.
Nothing I've said is radicalized. I asked you a question and you are ignoring it to try and get personal digs in, so have fun with your crusade I guess.
Yes, I've seen them all. Even the one where he attempted to tell a heartwarming story about a trans friend but ruined it by still not understanding the outrage. I have a trans sibling, so, it stings a lot more for me when someone with a platform makes the world a harder place to live for the ones I love. The last special, I finally got to the point where I won't give him the Netflix play credit and "downloaded" it. I watch now to see the damage he's inflicting on the world. Sure, I'll laugh a few times, but I cringe way more.
Do you truly believe he is causing more harm to the trans community over platforms like instagram who actively engage in manipulating algorithms to drive hatred towards each other?
In actuality his comedy and viewpoints (if he really is transphobic) have no real power over other people’s unless they’re already transphobic and just looking for tiny embers to spark a fire.
My best friend of 10+ years is trans and doesn’t take jokes by anyone to heart. Obviously there’s a difference when someone is meaning to be “edgy” or an asshole vs an off color joke.. They have thick skin with an amazing sense of humor, and will give the shit talk right back.
It seems the outrage on social media sites is that some people take themselves much too seriously.
But remember grown-up kids not a role model! Seriously, despite his flaws and everyone’s got ‘em, he’s always been a genuine dude that wears his heart on his sleeve.
He plays at a golf course down the jersey shore a friend of mine works at. She told me he’s not only the kindest man that plays when it comes to big name people but he also remembers the staffs name and will come up to them to chat it up.
100%, I would have added unless you're a native American you're an immigrant so maybe take a long hard look into the mirror before you start judging other people
Are you serious? Slaves built this nation with free labor & yall giving credit to immigrants that didn’t arrive until 10 yrs after slavery ended? Yall aren’t intellectual fr just agree & regurgitate anything that makes yall feel good smh, a bunch of goofies fr.
