Isn’t the whole point of them giving their lives for literally every single thing he mentions there? Otherwise what’s the ideal point of joining any service?
I don't have time to respond to everyone.you have to be slow or a troll to not see that was clearly a joke
Didn't she though? According to Rogan she said she didn't know she was black. I don't even like her, and if she tweeted racist shit before, than it's karma paying her backRoseanne isn't even using that as a defense, just some Trump fans trying to obfuscate the issue. It's widely known that VJ is black, whether some uninformed ignoramuses are aware of that or not. Roseanne's met her, she knew the score. She's made similar comments about black female political figures before, like saying Susan Rice "is a man with big swinging ape balls". Just a coincidence I'm sure that she keeps comparing blacks to apes.
She's not Iranian. Jesus. Do some research. Her dad was a doctor and worked in Iran as part of a program--I posted the info already. Google it if you don't believe me.
No thanks to the offer of giving up ground on comedy. It's way too easy for everything to blow up in a moment of bad judgment. Comedy is particularly important in times like this, when everything is on such a hair trigger.
I think this hysterically dishonest denial of the fact of it being a joke is somehow critical to the stance a lot of people are taking. It really shouldn't be. We've learned from Trumpers that we shouldn't lie and bend reality when it makes our point of view seem stronger. It doesn't- it just makes it seem dishonest. It's totally unnecessary.At this point, multiple ignorant mean spirited NON JOKE tweets have been posted in refutation of the idea that she was making jokes.
Surrender, Dorothy.
No, the value of jokes is subjective. A joke is a joke.Then it's a matter of opinion since jokes are subjective.
In my estimation , she was just being a cunt.
muhhhh apologyyyy!!!
I just remembered reading somewhere that she was Iranian.
lmao @ PBUHcomparing...Kevin Randleman(PBUH) to a gorilla.

Did you choose "shitty Netflix specials" because framing it that way that sounds the least like a Timothy Leary seance?I’m still at a loss trying to understand how shitty Netflix stand up specials are important or counterculture.
I remember that in PRIDE Randleman got compared to Donkey Kong one time and there was a PRIDE promotional video where Bob Sapp went to a zoo and ate a banana and beat his chest...lmao @ PBUH
Obviously comparing Randleman to a gorilla has a highly plausible non-racist context. Do you think it requires a disclaimer, given the normal modern and historical contexts?
I like Joe, but he's not always the most informed person, especially on topical issues. He has his interests and he knows a lot of stuff, but he also gets a lot of stuff wrong. Roseanne built up a lot of reputation with comics over the years, but she's gone off the deep end lately.

That's art in general. Stand up comedy is escapism and isn't a noble, safe space for racists to get away with racism. I don't see something like Dave Chappelle's trans jokes as particularly profound or richly illuminating, they are just jokes at the expense of an easy target. Of course art can challenge societal norms, it should. But in a humane way. There are lots of examples of that happening now and none of them are in the realm of stand up comedy, as I see it.Did you choose "shitty Netflix specials" because framing it that way that sounds the least like a Timothy Leary seance?
Comedy is always in opposition to the culture, because it necessarily questions and ridicules it.
