I haven’t spent much time on him, but is he really “far left” or was that mostly a front for popularity?

For the love of God, tell me you are being sarcastic.

about...20 year ago when he was a full-blown drug addict mtv2 uk used to send him to clubs and interview people who were also pilled out. it was kind of funny, and he dressed a little gender bendery so he had a brand (no pun intended).

From what I read, some right-wing/conservative circles are almost saying that women should embrace these situations.

I would be lying if I said that these point of views were not bringing shivers down my spine. And also making me gag. 

This is mind-boggling. I guarantee you that no-one with power gives enough of a fuck about Brand to frame him for anything. He’s actually less relevant to public life than ever before, thanks to his alt-right grifter reinvention.

I honestly never understood how he got famous. He’s always been an unfunny jackass, now he is an unfunny jackass that is always lecturing people.

In right-wing/conservative circles, rape is becoming less and less evil and more “a matter of inconvenience that women should simply tolerate.”

Oh, well if ELON supports him... he’s definitely GUILTY (Seriously. NOT said in sarcasm).

I never really noticed it before, but Brand looks a lot like Jordan Peterson, if he’d been raised by happy-go-lucky cultists instead of sad and alcoholic cultists.

The cast of That 70s Show have also weighed in to remark that Russell Brand is often not as late as you might expect him to be.

Not being evil does not mean not being a rapist or an abuser! 

“Elon Musk also weighed in, posting “I support Russell Brand. That man is not evil.””

Fuck, that’s the harshest roast yet.

I kind of get it. The Root’s comment section has been infested with racist shitstains for a while now. Of course, you could also invest in better moderation but that would cost ol’ Spanfeller a tenth of a new yacht or something.

Yeah the creep vibes have been palpable for years

Off-topic, but what are we thinking about The Root shutting down comments, and if a story like this would get as much viewership without the comments being available?

“I thought better of him!” At press time, we don’t know why she thought better of a guy who posted a picture of the bras thrown at him at concerts...”

Hey, at least Drake is interacting with adult women for a change.

Ha. That’s an interesting comparison. One random thing I liked about Dennis Miller was that he used esoteric political references that obviously were intended for the 2% of his audience that were insanely well-read.

So he’s like Dennis Miller but had a career past 9/11? 

It’s easy to tell when Bill Maher goes off-script. His writer-free podcast is so, so hilariously bad. Tim Heidecker and Fred Armisen recently did a brilliant parody of it that you should absolutely watch on YouTube.
