Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Rage Kage said something dumb about it and now Jaybles doesn't want to work with him anymore

I don't think that's what went down, I think they're just doing PR damage control behind closed doors. I don't think this has actually effected their relationship. Jack Black is definitely not a supporter of trump at least.

Damn, I didn’t know Jack Black was a piece of shit like that.

Jablinski is a piece of shit for trying to maintain their PR by denouncing a statement that could be interpreted as a call to violence?

"trump is literally the next Hitler guys"

"great so we don't even need a time machine"

"oh not like that though"

Look I'm not saying that it's a good thing that the shot missed. I'm just saying that it's understandable how someone might want to not say the quiet part out loud when it doesn't make a tangible difference on who ends up being president come January, but does make a tangible difference on how much money they make.

Publicly calling for violence against the man who might be a dictator of the country you live in this time next year isn't exactly the safest play either, long-term.

We need to keep Trump out of the white house, but advocating for that "by any means necessary" is a dangerous play, no matter how much you personally agree with the people making such statements.
