Calling for death, even as a joke, is deplorable. And in Trumps case, dangerous. It’s one thing to make this joke with a couple of friends, it’s entirely another when the entire country sees it - both the crazies that would do it, or the crazies that would shoot them for it.
The timing was a big factor too, it was like only a day or so after the attempt and while everyone was trying to calm down the situation and condemn the assassination attempt so as not to incite any other people for doing the same or reaction to the attempt, and then he goes and says that, it was very against the grain of the moment.
Bit of a [tragedy+time=comedy] but the time hadnt passed yet so the edge was too sharp
Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said “Don’t miss Trump next time”. JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don’t think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source
I mean that’s fair, you’re not really supposed to joke about killing former presidents, even if it’s in reference to the biggest piece of shit of the 21st century

Thanks. I’m with KG here and think JB is just overreacting and trying to prevent any damage to his name.

what about putin? is that different bcus he is foreign? osama bin laden? sounds like you just dont understand the real world king.
Still deplorable. There are more humane ways than a death penalty (which btw most of the civilised world tries to abolish)

Okay good but what about their band?

Yeah same. Before I opened this comment section I’ve never even heard of a person that dislikes JB.
