    It’s a joke

    You may like it, you may not, but it’s just a joke, no need to get panties in a twist, no need to clutch the pearls, there are other actual problems in this world that could use that.

      “It’s just a joke” is the same thing Trump fans say every time he also says something racist.

      Also, I’m not sure why you think reporting on what a politically weird person does in the Political Weirdos community is clutching at pearls.

      You do know what community you’re in, right?

        There is a difference

        Maher is a comedian who is known for having sharp opinions and things he says. It’s not always a hit and some of his opinions (hello covid) are outright stupid, bit in the end he is just that: a comedian.

        trump is (and I can’t believe im actually having to write this) again president of the US.

        When Maher says something, you and I can have a disagreement about the importance of it. When trump says something, he can end the fucking world.

        I gettit and believe me, you and I are more alike than were different. I just have a high tolerance for comedy and jokes, I laught about Hitler jokes when I know the guy is joking

        Trump isn’t joking
