Assassination attempts against a fascist are fine to joke about. Jack Black has no spine.
He made a joke saying he wished the assassination attempt on Trump was successful. I think you’re down playing that by just calling it a joke. I think it’s fine to hate a Trump, but as public figure it’s probably not a great idea to encourage assassination attempts on an ex president.

If Jack Black was doing anything but a world tour with a fucking comedy rock band it’d be different, but he’ll always be a poser now.
Bro couldn’t even do parody rock right he was clutching pearls so hard.

Too bad rhe ex president making comments about assassination on various groups he’s against is pretty much ignored these days. But don’t you dare make such a joke about his life not being as valued.

Nah, Trump should be shot at until someone stops missing. And then we keep going for good measure.

Yeah, now say that on a literal stage, with a microphone, in front of thousands, while the whole thing is being recorded.
Oh and you’re famous enough that it would be trivial for a pissed off crazy person with a gun to figure out where you and your children live.
I’m certain the first thing that came to mind wasn’t money.

Yeah, sure, and everyone is entitled to their opinion on this matter, but the fact is, as a public figure, you risk a LOT by saying such a thing.

It wasn’t him that made the joke, it was his bandmate Kyle Gass.
SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yes, my comment was about Kyle Gass.

I mean, legally yeah, but otherwise it seems pretty good to me

Get off your high horse. The former president is out there talking about sending the military for anyone who doesn’t agree with their platform.

He has a personal armed guard that’s legally obligated to keep him safe., way more resources to make that happen, and is very likely riddled with brain worms. Not a great meat sack to compare a sane person to.
