Meanwhile a couple of links down on my feed there's an article about one of the Heritage Foundation guys claiming most political violence is committed by the left.. 🙄
"And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." He said, looking at a sand crawler with random scortch marks all over the hull that still looks fairly intact.
You are mistaken my friend. They oppose anyone but them using cancel culture, just like everything else. I'm sure their motto is 'if you can't win, cheat!'
I haven't heard enough, tbh. Maybe I just missed them. I'll try to keep an ear out for new ones. I'd give a shot at making one, but I think the joke would not land.
P.S. To my FBI agent: This is an attempt at humor. Please text me back, bro.
I mean I get your point. I even back you to a degree.
But you're calling out a popular entertainer for not wanting to put on a show - which requires a support staff, venue, and audience - while now having to think what nut might be in the audience waiting to take a shot.
MAYBE this shit is already stressful enough for Jack without worrying about everyone around him and how that extra stress will undermine their performances as they do this shit night after night for the entire tour.
But no, tell him he must go on. It doesn't cost you shit. You don't have to live with the stress of it all.
Because kowtowing to the American Nazi Party is obviously the right solution
This is what people say when it's not them being targetted. United States Congresspeople refused to convict Trump. Cities had to beef up security when announcements about his trials happened. This isn't your average joe. This is a man with unlimited resources at his disposal, millions of lone wolves willing to do his bidding, including committing acts of violence, and a national megaphone to call them to action.
But hey, you do you. I'm sure that when you become the target of the Trump Hate Machine, you can show all of us how to handle daily death threats, family members being targeted, losing your job, and maybe having your home broken into and getting hit in the head with a hammer. Or having to go into hiding. Go ahead, I'll wait. Let me know how random citizens are supposed to handle that. I'm sure Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss would like to know too.
In case you haven't been paying attention lately, I'll clue you in on something: MAGA morons have no problems using violence to get their way. And it's very possible any attempt at retribution could include something happening at one of his shows. And if there are credible threats being made to him or his band, continuing the tour just tells his would-be assaulters where he is every day. It would be practically suicide.
I don't care about the cancelation of the tour, but him saying he iced all projects with Kyle does not sit right with me
If they were friends like Jack claims, he would say something like: "I know him very well. It was a joke in poor taste, but it was only a stupid joke in the spur of the moment. " instead of distancing himself from the heat
Jack also has a pretty active acting career that Kyle doesn't. So it makes sense that publicly he'd want to distance himself as much as possible, at least for now.
When the fuck are people gonna start ignoring the pearl clutching by the right? Anyone who says "so much for the tolerant left" should get the shit beat out of them.
considering he was looking up local dem conventions and got kicked out of a gun club for being a poor shot... well I think this guy just wanted to prove that he wasn't a complete loser
This might be a legit thing. I don't mean he was an elite sniper who just tried to shoot his earlobe off, but that he intended to miss by a few metres, but he wasn't exactly good at that either.
More evidence of the GOP mantra; use threats of violence to get what you want. This is what their voters want for the country. To be able to get what they want, and use violence whenever they don't to force compliance.
And what's worse, if the examples in the article are any indication, is that companies are going along. Those examples will encourage more doxxing because it worked. And especially if Trump ends up winning, it'll soon be apparently a fireable offense to have the wrong political opinions.

I saw a decal on a van that said “Just a regular mom raising lions not sheep” and I thought “more like raising bullies not responsible citizens”. It’s where Karens come from; it’s where crazy parents getting teachers fired comes from - this idea that it is totally appropriate to use force, threats, proximity, and volume to get what you want instead of negotiating, accepting the rules, and admitting that you’re wrong and the world doesn’t bend to your rules. And somehow, we’ve given these people their own talking head to justify their behavior and he just might win the presidency. It’s astonishing.
nearly all republicans these days live in a suburb. IMO more likely the guy at a car dealership sales desk or a real estate agent is a typical republican these days.
