What joke? Or maybe it’s because it actually wasn’t funny.

There was no joke. He had two men hold up an anti-Semitic comment and laughed about it. Whatever social commentary or satirical point he thought he was making died at the exact moment he decided to keep that bit in his video.

So a dude with more money than most people see in their lives chose to take advantage of economically-disadvantaged individuals for the sake of some anti-Semitic “humor,” and is now surprised that there are consequences that go with that kind of behavior.

Got it.

Having read some of the comments on the previous article…

I’m thinking more like this\

I don’t see people slut shaming her as much as using her as an example of Republican hypocrisy.

I see both. And while I fully understand what you’re saying, I happen to belong to a school of thought that thinks calling women sluts for dressing scantily/posing nude is not and will never be okay, regardless of what people said about Mrs. Obama for years.

Republicans never gave any of them a single iota of respect. Can you imagine what they would have done if Michelle had posed nude…

“Sacrifices leaver your business” is the ‘alternative fact’ version of “Still hasn’t sacrificed a damn thing for this country in his life”.

Hey, it’s one way to get out of my credit card debt.

But harassing the FUCK out of Barak Obama for his fucking birth certificate wasn’t demoralizing???

It’s not about one tweet, it’s not about one picture, it’s about a constant theme. It’s about sitting here every time, and being told, “No. Well we don’t think he can do that, he’ll never accomplish that, he can’t win that, it won’t be the biggest, it’s not gonna be that good, the crowds aren’t that big, he’s not…

I was amazed that he got through the whole thing on just one hit of helium.
