Crowd boos Rob Schneider off the stage when he started telling anti-trans & anti-vaxx jokes

Reply in thread

His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.

Here's some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven't watched anything of his shit since but it's probably just him whining even more now:

  • Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.

  • And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!

  • If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.

  • trans-bitch from the picture.

  • A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.

  • I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.

  • “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.

  • Gender is a fact.

  • Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?

  • I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.

And here's what the actual goat comedian who had a lasting impact in the industry beyond a mediocre skit series in late 90s Comedy Central and one movie might retort to Chappelle

New Epstein Documents: Highlights and Name Drops

Oh John Casablancas, Trump's homey from the early 90s when they both liked hanging out with underage models via the Look of the Year contest. Same John Casablancas who was a sexual assaulter of those same underage girls and who was begged by his assistant to "stop having sex with underage girls"

Crazy how Trump surrounds himself with dudes that like to do weird shit with underage girls and weird sex trafficking shit like John Casablancas and Alan Dershowitz and Ralph Shortey and George Nader and the Fanjul bros and Roy Cohn and Epstein and how Trump has ties to AMI/Black Cube, the weird mercenary intelligence company Weinstein used just like Trump did to buy rights to stories and kill them before they could be released to the public

Teflon Don indeed

Like, I don't hang out with pedophile sex trafficking assholes. It's not hard to just not do that, and the benefit is I've never been accused of anything.

My Kidney

I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006

Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day

I still form them prolifically

I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out

They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there's two more little ones on the left side already forming up

Next step is an endocrinologist

Republicans Really Wish Trump Hadn’t Picked J.D. Vance

I do outside sales in Ohio and I'm on the road a lot

The amount of people who have Trump / Pence signs and have put white tape over the P and E to make a V and A is ... Surreal. Like why do you still have signs from an election 8 years ago? Their house is probably full of cats and hoard and bugs. Can't wait to get updated signs?

For four hours, Christians in Georgia gathered to worship Trump. I was there.

My sister in law is a Republican, but doesn't like Trump, but also buys in to a lot of what he says (her entire personality is "pro-life")

Yesterday, she's talking to my wife, who is one of those people that keeps her conversations on speaker when she's in the house:

SIL: did you guys ever vote early

W: yep, last several elections

SIL: I think I'm going to test them and vote on my mail-in, early, and in person on Tuesday

Me: you will go to jail for that...

They just gobble up whatever they hear in their echo chamber. Nevermind all the Republicans who have gone to jail for voter fraud

Also SIL: well the people who died two years ago that vote won't go to jail

W: yes but the people that voted in their place did...

I'm just so exhausted trying to understand remotely where they come from

I never get a good answer regarding why they think a government should be ran like a business. They don't fill the same niches, and the Constitution clearly lays out the role of government:

...form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity...

Nothing about consolidating profits into the hands of a few, nothing about profits at all, actually. Nothing about buying/manufacturing and selling goods or services

And why do they always trot out the worst possible examples of businessmen as who they want to run said imaginary corpocountry (Trump is self explanatory, but Romney's entire ethos was buying companies and bankrupting them)?

That was... The point though? He thinks trans women aren't women. That was like a full third of the show's transcript, and I even left some off

So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?

I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people

Or something

Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess

2024 State Races Megapost!

Ohio has Issue 1 regarding gerrymandering...

...which the Ohio Supreme Court already told them to unfuck and the GOP was like, "nah, fam"...

...and which LaRose obfuscated (just like he did with the abortion amendment) via confusing language and outright lies (under the guide of free speech, apparently) to trick people into voting No

So, a No vote keeps the same crap we have now where a majority of the state has no voice. A Yes vote gives everyone a more equal say

They're Never Happy

My job is doing outside sales in Ohio and my customer base is very much blue collar manufacturing. There is an obvious overlap in manufacturing and Trump supporters. A lot of places I visit have Trump memorabilia posted around - signs, stickers, flags, whatever.

The other day I was in a spot southeast of Columbus, near the Ohio River. I pull in to this smaller machine shop and see Trump signs in the windows and Trump stickers on the only car outside.

Go in and start chatting with the owner. Within 5 minutes he had already hit me with 3 hard Rs, going on a rant about the "criminals in office" and "if everything goes the way it's supposed to November 5th" and "if it doesn't there's gonna be some problems on November 6th". Had a Biden-Harris Target List hanging (idk if it was a list of people he wanted to kill or if it was one of those "people judge me for my shitty actions and I feel attacked" things).

He was carrying a Glock (not uncommon in a lot of these places that people open carry) and I'm not unfamiliar with firearms (I grew up in Kentucky and was in the Marine Corps), so in order to turn the conversation back to business and away from the racist pro-Trump conversation, I mentioned that the company I work for makes gun barrels for a couple high-profile gun manufacturers. Conversation went that way for a minute (he says it's "bullshit that they try to take guns away from people like you and me (I'm a white dude so I guess we are the only ones supposed to have guns) when everybody knows the hard Rs and illegals are the ones committing all the crime"), then he says, "yeah, if you were a hard R, you'd be seeing this pistol up close"

Idk what my point is other than this guy is the type of dude that's gonna vote for Trump and if that's the people Trump supporters want to side with idk y'all need to look at yourself in a mirror or something.

Calcium means the stones are calcium oxalate which comes from having too much oxalates in your diet

I get recurring kidney stones which are from oxalates and sodium

I keep my oxalate intake per day under 40mg

Spinach has 755 mg per HALF CUP!

Fuck spinach

Vince McMahon and WWE accused of allowing 'rampant' sexual exploitation of young boys by announcer in new lawsuit

Reply in thread

Vince should hang and so should Linda (both for a number of things)

They knew about it, fired everyone, then rehired them

But also TKO purchased them much more recently than these events, and the DOJ knew about it after it happened and went after him for steroids instead. It's stupid bc there's only a handful of people left who could (rightfully) face anything on this, but I don't think TKO is one of them? Can someone ELI5 this?

Behind the Bastards did SIX whole episodes on VKM which is a great listen

No, he just dehumanizes trans people and reduces them to their genitals and is generally tone-deaf to all of that.

Quotes from The Closer:

"...The transgenders..."

"Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from."

"And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!"

"If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying."

"...trans-bitch from the picture."

"A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have."

"I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover."

" “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such."

"Gender is a fact."

"Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?"

"I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice."

I'm not going to quote his story about the one trans person who passed whatever litmus test he decided to implement to determine if someone deserves his respect or not, but it summed up to the equivalent of someone saying something racist and finishing with, "well, I have black friends, though!"

Literal hot trash
