I’ve been asked for my opinion on the Riyadh Comedy Festival and rather than answer the same question 23 times, I’ll just put this out here. Oh, and I should preface this with the fact that I was not offered the gig but it should go without saying that there’s not enough money for me to help these depraved, awful peopl

    I guess Pete Davidson is cool with the people that helped kill his dad.

        He admitted he’s a whore for money. No morals or backbone.

        I mean…

        If it’s money he cares about he’s not exactly planning long term. Which tracks for Pete Davidson. He’s not some insightful comic who speaks to the people, he’s a shitty raccoon of a person who tries to make other people laugh so he boosts his own self worth.

        I’m still gonna watch his stuff, cuz he is funny. I’m just never gonna pay a dime or watch anything with him on any streaming service.

        If money is all he cares about, ruining his career is the best way to teach him a lesson.

        Fuck that little shit.

        Bill Burr selling out is a much bigger deal, it ruins his whole schtick of being the obnoxious guy who at least gives a shit.

        Now he’s just an obnoxious guy whining

        “I’ve been getting a little bit of flak just because my dad died (in) 9/11,” Davidson recalled, referencing allegations that the Saudi government supported al-Qaeda. “So they’re like, ‘How could you possibly go there?’”

        I mean, no, not just for that reason.

        But yeah. That’s a question. What’s the answer?

          So…

          YOU, as a person, are totally fine doing a dance, comedy, or playing music, and just generally performing for the person that is responsible for killing your own father?

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

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!
