I feel like the South Park song, “Kyle’s Mom is a Bitch” should be remade into “Putin is a Bitch”.

Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

He’s basically only forgiving interest or automatically forgiving debt for people who qualify and didn’t apply for existing programs. Or people who have been paying for 20 years.

Anyone who could possibly have heartache about that can fuck right off.

I owe a lot but I can afford to pay and I do not fucking care if I have to pay and some someone else gets their loan forgiven. Good for them. Should have been free in the first place.

Man, you sound like the zen I wish I could harness and feel. I really appreciate your tone and presence.

No. You don’t get frame a statement like that and then walk away from it. You said he gobbled Israel’s knob and now he has to walk back his vile statements.

And now you just doubled down on it. So tell us, how did he “gobble the knob”, and what was Bernie’s vile statement, that he is now walking back?

“…, and then saw his knob gobbling support Israel during this conflict.”

I’m not sure what you mean here. He has been opposing support of Israel for quite some time now.

I’m not sure if anybody DIDN’T support Israel immediately following Hamas’ terror attack, but Israel’s conduct quickly changed some hearts and minds.

I don’t know what his stance was at the beginning of the conflict, but I’m not going to fault him him if he was supporting the victim of a terror attack.

But he has been calling for the U.S. to stop funding Israel’s war for some time now.

Here in Texas, we can vote all blue AND Allred, at the same time.

Because they were going to dump it themselves and were trying to lay the groundwork to blame WSB?

They are seriously trying to blame WSB for this?. LMAO, Fuck Spez.

A rate charge increase targeting solar customers is fucking horseshit.

Should they pay for infrastructure? Absolutely, but the same flat rate that all customers pay, that are tied in.

That the rate scale was passed without any real review by the elected officials is fucking egregious. Can’t even do their fucking jobs.

I watched the show and I can provide some context.

He did make some jokes but they weren’t about trans so much but about his relationship with the community.

The handicap jokes were about making fun of himself and his comedy and how he is viewed by the trans community. It was expressed for shock value too. Said in a way to show he doesn’t care who he makes fun of, that no people are safe from his humor. It fell kind of flat for me but it did not “fill his routine” as the article states.

The punching down joke was clearly sarcasm.

That being said, I found his standup to be as you described. Kind of tired and old.

He told a story about meeting Jim Carrey, while he was filming Man in the Moon. Jim was immersed in his role and everyone was talking to him, as if he was Andy Kaufman, even off set. Dave compared that to trans. Like he knew he was talking to one gender but he had to pretend they were another gender. He didn’t explicitly say it that way, but that is what I inferred.

I have been a huge Chappelle fan. I have seen him really highlight hypocrisy and double standards in a cutting, but hilarious and insightful way.

But, I felt this latest standup was not particularly witty or insightful. At least when his set invloved LGBTQ. I felt he was just poking the bear to have the last word kind of thing.

His Jim Carrey story just made me feel sad because it made me believe that he really doesn’t understand. Jim Carrey was trying to become someone he truly wasn’t. Someone, whom is trans, is trying to become the person they truly believe they are.

He had some good insight, for me, about what it meant to him, when Wil Smith hit Chris Rock and he segued that into people’s dreams and the underlying theme of the show. But then he taked about them both being men and it just reminded me that toxic masculinity is a real thing, but his set did not address it.

He talked about Lil Nas X and even though it was meant to come across as supportive, it felt forced.

But overall, I felt the jokes that involved trans were low hanging at best, and baiting at worst.

However, this “article” and the response to it, is exactly why he told those jokes the way he did. The Independent doesn’t care, they are just playing the game to get clicks.

The most passionate response to Dave’s routine shouldn’t be more than, “That was it?”

I’ll take comments that show the individual has no idea what they are talking about, for $500, Alex.

The article itself doesn’t even elaborate on the headline. It doesn’t provide any real examples and just makes claims without allowing the reader any sort of useful information.

You can’t even make a real argument, and just use sarcasm and personal attacks.

Be angry at me all you want.

But next time you see such an obviously baiting headline, like this “article”… ask yourself if it’s a real article or just clickbait that wants to trick you into scrolling through 40 ads to read something that doesn’t expand on the headline AT ALL.

And then wonder if there is a lot of “news” floating out there meant to make you angry just so you drive traffic to the source.

If you question this kind of nonsense even once, moving forward, then these last 10 minutes was well worth the effort.

Wow, it usually takes some knowledge about a subject to come to a conclusion like that.

But you came to that conclusion without any knowledge at all.

Just like most of these comments about Dave Chappelle’s latest standup.

Pretty on brand of you to form an ignorant and severely judgemental conclusion based on little to no information at all.

You sound like an American Republican.

I’m not going to defend or attack him.

I would have to do half his routine for the context to work and I am not interested in doing that.

But just think, for a moment, about all the stupid shit boomers say, believe, and respond to, from just a headline. When they do it, you get frustrated and angry for them going off, half cocked, over nonsense.

Then realize, you are responding the same way. Not the same beliefs, mind you, but letting yourself get riled up about what someone else said about a third person.

Crap like this article is written solely for people to have an emotional response to it. They are monetarily motivated to do it. Revenue is driven by Internet traffic and ad clicks.

The reason data is so valuable is because they know what you react to. They see what generates that visceral response and then generate/tailor content because it drives viewers and clicks.

Take it a step further and you can see how it is used to generate political support and sales.

Don’t let yourself get manipulated by an online article.

I am NOT telling you to like Dave Chappelle or that he’s a good guy. I am telling you that the responses here, on this post are exactly why it is being done. Both his standup AND the way the article is written.

Man, don’t waste your time and energy.

Most of these commenters just want to be angry.

I agree with your comment 100%.
