          Touch a news article about how he took Saudi money.

          Dude already proved he cares more about his own bottom line than his moral positions.

            how is taking $ from them bad (assuming you don’t give them anything real in return)? the sauds are bunch of dumb rich fucks, overcharging them for a comedy show is about the best way to take liquidity out of their system.

              Again. morals < bag. that’s what it does. You aren’t hurting them AT ALL to take a few million…

              In fact, them going over there is a campaign to help them appear like they’re not monstrous fucking evil people. It HELPS them to make them appear more friendly to the west’s values.

              So… yea, it DOES help them more than hurt them.

                the million or 2 you take from em for a couple shitty jokes is a million or 2 they can’t use to bribe officials to host actual event that could bring $ in, or invest into whatever other shitty diversification scheme they can come up with

                this is the same reason comedians take those expensive investor event/rich retirement home gigs. the crowds suck but they have loads of $ you’ll otherwise never take from their greedy fucking claws

                nobody with half a brain is being tricked by their white washing PR stunts

                  lol no.

                  It’s the equivalent of taking 5c from me. If I give you a nickel, let me tell you buddy, I’m still FULLY capable of bribing those other people.

                  If Trump hasn’t directly demonstrated that far too many people actually DON’T have “half a brain”, then… I’m sad to say, but you might be in that group…
