    Fuck you Chappelle, you got some money and decided you were better than everyone else. Imagine introducing “the richest man in the world” like it’s some honor to share the same stage. Two fucking dirtbag pieces of shit rubbing wieners just hoping the monkeys will clap for them.

    “Here comes the man who has more money than you can fathom, but still wants yours. Wait, why are you booing?”

    Fuck 'em both.

    The fucking hubris. These mother fuckers really think we’re just gonna get on our knees because they’re rich, or roll over and die while they take over the world.

    This world will be Elon’s tomb. He’s not gonna make it to Mars.

    If we go to Mars it will be as free people, building a sustainable, egalitarian world where no one bows down to power hungry dictators.

      He never intended to go to Mars. Remember the real reason for the moon mission and shudder.

          I’d say Red Faction fits the bill better. They just took them to Mars under the false pretense of work and pay but they beat them when they got there.

          If I recall, the prison planet in Riddick was man-made. Wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong today though.

          The difference is that it’s a suicide that takes two years to reach its conclusion. Wanna send people to Mars? Alright, you can only send people who are willing to die either on the way there or on the ground there. They’ll be exposed to much higher levels of radiations than people on the space station and their bone mass will just deteriorate to the point that they can never come back on earth.

      Been saying for years, here and on reddit, we know how to punch these people in the balls. Why is no one doing it?!

      Vance and family getting rejected from visiting Greenland? He can handle it, because he’s not a narcissist. Trump could not handle it, because he is.

      World leaders and media need to boo and make fun of these assholes non-stop. Fucking grow a pair!

      Imagine the Prime Minister of Canada or the UK saying out loud:

      “President Poops-In-His-Pants is using his new word, ‘tariffs’. If President “I Like the Poorly Educated” hadn’t been asleep in class, maybe he could spell Smoot-Hawley Act. OK, maybe he’s not wearing diapers, but have you seen that dump truck? And yes, he smells a bit off in person.”

      or

      “President Bones Spurs sends men into combat, which he was too pussy to engage in during Vietnam.”

      or

      “President Trump, freshly painted in gender affirming makeup and wearing a gender affirming toupee, strikes out against transsexuals for wanting gender affirming care.”

      FFS, he would melt the fuck down if hit with shit like this from major media and world leaders.

      Oh, but we don’t want to piss of the Most Powerful Man in the World! Well hell, what have we to lose?!

            Pessimistic as I am, I feel like being an openly queer person with a brown partner already has me on the black bag list. Only problem is I’m practiced in engineering, not journalism so a peoples newspaper isn’t in my wheelhouse.

            • I hope things go well for you and you stay safe and happy, friend.

              Things are currently tough, but things can be better for us all only if we stand together in defense of each other, ESPECIALLY in spite of cultural variation.

              Instead of letting governments use minor differences to divide the people, show them that minor differences are what allows society to even function.

        The shock of this absolutely pushed him further right, no question. He realized all his tech buddies hated his guts but there was nobody in his circle who would dare make him understand why. And that’s why all billionaires are crazy.

    I already got one cause I posted the South Park scene in which they realize AIDS is funny now because it’s been 22.3 years, but I replaced AIDS with 9/11 because it was the 22.3 year anniversary. It was up for over a year before, suddenly, it was promoting terrorism and had to be taken down immediately.

    Fuck this world.

      Dave Chapelle got chaff for jokes about trans people that didn’t land (probably because they were transphobic). Elon hates his trans daughter? I think that’s why.

        Unfortunately, Dave became just another rich bitch, but, he still says some prophetic shit like, “His whole business model is fuck earth, I’m leaving anyways” or, "do you hear that sound Elon? That’s the sound of pending civil unrest "

        This was December 22 I think

                Yikes. From what I understand though, he grew up upper middle class. He said we always assumed that he grew up as a commoner, but that it wasn’t true.

                David Khari Webber Chappelle was born on August 24, 1973, in Washington, D.C.[11] His father, William David Chappelle III, was a professor of vocal performance and the dean of students at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.[12] His mother, Yvonne Seon (née Reed, formerly Chappelle),[13] worked for Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba,[14] is a Unitarian Universalist minister,[15] and worked as a professor and university administrator at several institutions including Wright State University and Prince George’s Community College.[16] Chappelle has a stepmother and a stepbrother.[3]

                  All true.

                  But he was and is the kind of guy makes you believe that he actually see the circumstances people are going through and even emphasized with it. He was a hero for turning down big money for his pride and integrity. He disappeared for a while and came back with sensible lessons from africa, even fought for and got the money he deserved for his work.

                  Then started the rich bitch behavior that culminated to bringing a dickwad like Elon on stage.

                  He went to a HS in Georgetown - it’s a public school but it’s a super rich area so he probably grew up with mostly upper middle class white kids. I mean it’s called “Duke Ellington School of the Arts” so you’d think it’s in a black neighborhood but its actually deep in Georgetown where you don’t see any (other) black people at all.

    I just wanna say, I’ve really been dreaming of a Bill Burr 2028 ticket assuming elections are still a thing.

    I love the guy, his voice, and his development as a person. He can pull this shit together.
