NOW he withdraws his endorsement. After his Puerto Rican heritage was attacked. Good on him for withdrawing support but I think he is a knob for waiting until they went after him. Maybe he likes it that Trump thinks he's a hot girl.

gop/trump have attacked Haiti, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic they're almost at the entire Caribbean Islands countries. i wonder what all these countries have in common that gop/trump hate? dark skin! Cubans in FL r absolute low education being temporarily used. when the gop/trump don't need their votes the Cubans will be dumped and demonized. i live in a rural gop county, 15 years ago i learned gop want all dark skinned eliminated from America.

Not the rape, not stealing money from kids with cancer, not causing unnecessary deaths during covid, not the attempted coup, not the hate, not separating kids from their mothers at the border and putting them in cages, not the lies, not the hundreds of other reasons...
No, he made fun of your island. That's what's wrong with him.
dynamojoe
Well, it's only a bad thing when it happens to ME.
StellarJay77
Yup, money insulates a lot of assholes from all the bad shit Trump's policies would bring and give them more free reign to exploit others and make even more money. That's the ONLY reason they like Trump. Most of them think he's an idiot and easily manipulated too.
pucklordofchaos
This is what people never get about racism, it never ends with one group, there always has to be a new enemy, and that's the only way it works eventually the enemy is going to be you once there is no one else left to destroy. There is not utopia at the end of hate, it always needs a new target.
bloodbloodbloodblood
At least he's withdrawn his support publicly. I don't need his political purity, I need his vote against Trump.

He was cool with EVERYTHING else, but drew the line there? What a piece of garbage.

I mean. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this seems to finally be having consequences but I am genuinely confused as to how THIS is the thing that finally gives him some real blowback. After all the racist and sexist shit he's done before THIS is the bridge too far? Again I'm glad just really really confused
dontrike
What?! You mean the leopard ate my face? But why?

I am reminded of Isaac Hayes complaining about South Park only when it attacked his religion...
(Yes, I know the story was scientology being its normal evil self and had nothing to do with Isaac Hayes and that he had a stroke and the dumbest cult in the US (ok, second dumbest), quit on his behalf).
[Note: If you don't know what the first dumbest cult in the US is, you are probably in that cult]
goodtimehadbyall
If I recall, we don't actually know what he had to say as there was only some statement released by his handlers.
SubiBryant
I like the parallel you drew. South Park goes by "Either all of its okay or none of it is." Glad to live in a place where it all is.
gentlemandan
I sometimes wonder if the Scientology people told him to quit or else, considering the way they run things there. Isn’t giving them dirt on yourself like one of the things you gotta do there?
Shoumpue
I have no doubt that that's at least partially the case
bippityboppitybuttsex
No idea... but every Scientologist I have met is so far into it that they are unable to function in normal society
SerialSeb
Where is that clip of this guy being exasperated that the Republicans are incapable of empathy therefore they only repent when the horrible thing happens to them.?And that their specific horrible thing would have to happen to each one to finally get it.
rockmanx853000
I mean it’s not big surprise as a lot of people tend to react only when it somehow affects them. Shouldn’t be this way but it is.

It doesn't matter what they say, his supporters have been warned for YEARS, and they should always have the smell of him about them.

So that was the line in the sand? The 1000s of other things that make him the absolute worst choice in the history of the country, and that's the limit?
goodtimehadbyall
Don't care to know who this is but he is a peice of shit for endorsing him and even more a peice of shit for removing it when he felt attacked instead of seeing that orange hitler has always been attacking every non-white male group.
TheNamiKage
Wait isn't that the guy Trump introduced as a woman?

No no you’re thinking of Joey “Bag O’ Donuts” Franco’s now deceased uncle’s, mother-in-law’s ex-husband’s nephew by marriage Stevie Googatz.
YourPalFriendpatine
Hey how’s Stevie doin, eh? I heard he took ol’ “Bag O’ Donuts” death really hard. Thems was close, eh? Man, “Bag O’ Donuts” was a good guy. He’d still be with us if he uh, ya know, didn’t eat that whole Costco size bag o’ donuts. It’s a crazy coincidence that his name is the same as his cause of death.maybe it was fatal. Who knows. Hey, hears to Joey “Bag O’ Donuts” Franco, the man who still owes me $50 bucks that I’m gonna steal from his momma at the wake.

I am curious, so he was cool with the way Trump treated Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, that wasn't a dealbreaker for him?
Whoever this piece of shit is, fuck him.
cabalin
These are not bright people
Magjee
I'm guessing he doesn't care know either, but the mood shifted and it might affect his bottom line
StellarJay77
Ya this is simply a matter of protecting what was best for him. He thought Trump's policies would benefit him more as he's insulated from all the bad shit that would happen and he doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself. A common trait with conservatives.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Which means he is a piece of shit.
He expects Trump's presidency to benefit himself and does not care who he harms... i.e. a piece of shit.
marsilies
Look, Trump did the best job possible after Maria. I mean, he tossed so many paper towels. How can you expect any more? He's only human. /s

As a boricua, fuck this cabrón. Damn we have been the butt of the joke since west side story (fuck you bernstein, you did a musical enshrining racial stereotypes, rot in the nowhere, you sucked at conducting too btw).

"I only installed the rocket on the rocket bomb" fuck sondheim as well. Why would someone named sondheim , well yes... maria i just met a girl named maria sounds def not by someone that has command of the spanish language or the nuances of its use accross different countries and cultures. Like basically "cultutral appropriation " to enforce anfucking stereotype... that sondheim?
spittleteets
Arthur Laurents wrote the book (playscript).
spittleteets
It was originally written in 1949 as East Side Story and was supposed to set on the Lower East Side focusing on Jews and Catholics but never took off. Then when LA gangs made national headlines they reworked it into its current format bc they felt it was more relevant to teach tolerance given the current events of the time.
Marsupialmessiah
So, it was intended to be a shrine to racial stereotypes but didnt get traction with that particular group so they moved it to other more popular stereotypes? Thats what you saying?
spittleteets
No need for a strawman argument friend, that's obv not what I was saying. Intent doesn't remove impact, but IMHO the play's message is that of tolerance the final lines in the play are chastising all for being filled with hate How do you fire this gun Chino? By pulling this little trigger!? How many bullets are left Chino? Enough for YOU? Or YOU? All of you!! You ALL killed him! And my brother! And Riff! Not with bullets and knives! With HATE! Well, I can kill now too, because now I have hate!!!
spittleteets
How many can I kill Chino? How many -- and still have one bullet left for me? Don't touch him!!

I grew up in Washington Heights (actually Inwood, but no one knows where Inwood is... I went PS 98 and JHS 52 and half of my classmates were Puerto Rican or Dominican...), When Hurricane Maria hit, all of my childhood friends were terrified they had lost family... (some had never been to the island, but had grandparents and aunts and uncles that would visit from PR)...
It is despicable that we have a presidential candidate that vilifies Americans who have done nothing to anyone.
Marsupialmessiah
Americans that have more military medals than any state per capita. Its disgarceful.
Nitewakee
But genuine question- is your westside story opinion the general consensus among the Puerto Ricans you know? I never thought of it that way before, but I can see how it would be. Are Italians equally offended?
Marsupialmessiah
I dont know. Most italians of age for wss are very.... not so into it, or wont speak as openly as i do. Wasnt meant for them i think, was more for the classical wasp crowd. Italians will just go to their already colorful cultural escapes than a bunch of dancing minorities using guns in a gotham city landscape. So will puertorricans, like prancing gangmembers romeo and juliet style def was not for either. Lets ask the irish!

For the rest of us, it was his announcement speech in June of 2015 that convinced us he was a racist piece of shit...
Then again, for those of us who grew up in NYC in the 1970s and 80s, he was a known piece of shit for decades...
bippityboppitybuttsex
Actually, the birth certificate and Obama was more than enough to make him a worthless piece of shit.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I grew up in a small town in Canada in the '80s and knew he was a piece of shit. I can't see how it's possible that Americans didn't know.
bippityboppitybuttsex
He was sanewashed by that stupid TV show
marsilies
The TV show The Apprentice conned a lot of people into thinking he was a shrewd businessman, because they shot and edited it that way.
