    the million or 2 you take from em for a couple shitty jokes is a million or 2 they can’t use to bribe officials to host actual event that could bring $ in, or invest into whatever other shitty diversification scheme they can come up with

    this is the same reason comedians take those expensive investor event/rich retirement home gigs. the crowds suck but they have loads of $ you’ll otherwise never take from their greedy fucking claws

    nobody with half a brain is being tricked by their white washing PR stunts

      lol no.

      It’s the equivalent of taking 5c from me. If I give you a nickel, let me tell you buddy, I’m still FULLY capable of bribing those other people.

      If Trump hasn’t directly demonstrated that far too many people actually DON’T have “half a brain”, then… I’m sad to say, but you might be in that group…
