Why call PR a garbage island when Britain is right there
Because the average skin color of Puerto Ricans is significantly darker than that of Britain.
Remember this is about racism.
I love how roasting became the goto for conservatives since they have no real material or nuance. It’s just toxic garbage with a PC name. What a bunch of losers.
Tony Heathcliff is making a name for himself roasting people. He went to a republican convention thinking roast style material would be OK.
His material is OK. I think he just made a poor choice thinking those joke would fly.
Nothing I heard was “okay” and none of it was funny.
I had a friend show me Kill Tony and I laughed maybe twice in an hour and a half stint. The rest was just boring with a dusting of cringe.
I feel exactly the same, he tried telling an edgy joke but man did it fuck up. Imagine a roast so bad it may have really burnt Trump’s chances in swing states, that I think will be the best joke ever
There’s a place and there’s a time. If he chose to speak in a Donald Trump’s rally, he ought to be ok with his worse rhetoric.
I have nothing to do with America and it’s election but it wasn’t Trump who made the joke.
Why twist it like that?
Probably because the joke was made by someone his campaign decided to put on stage. It seems like a pretty fair twist to me. Also his campaign may have apologized, but I don’t see an issue with the blame going all the way up but I do see an issue if he doesn’t give the apology for his campaign himself. It’s weaseling.
They’re trying to have it both ways, the rasicm and fear-mongering for the base, and just kidding, it was a joke for anyone who might be offended by it

He’s done a lot of shit things, why manufacture one, is my point.
Keep the facts clean, don’t distort and mislead. It doesn’t seem like America needs more of that at the moment.

You are who you hang around is a true statement.
It’s worrying to me that “Trump bad” so often enables the use of rhetoric that we wouldn’t find acceptable in relation to other candidates. Also not from the US, and after the joke was made, I read headlines about this in half a dozen different places, and in every one of them the headline made it seem like Trump had out of nowhere said Puerto Rico was an island of trash. It seemingly made no sense but to be fair stuff he says often doesn’t. Only at the end of the day when I got out of work and actually read one of the news pieces did I realize it hadn’t actually been Trump saying it and it had been in the context of a shitty stand up moment.
The context doesn’t make the joke any better, of course, but I find it weird that people are apparently so ok with news websites twisting information like this as long as it is against Trump.
Exactly, just having the actual facts no longer seem like something Americans want anymore. They seem to want things wrapped in an opinion.
Also look at how heavily down voted we are for just talking about this. Kinda crazy what’s going on over there.
