Wokeness still killing comedy

To be honest it’s been nice having other stuff to post (all these film reviews, for example) than political bullshit; the political bullshit has obviously been flowing freely all this month and smelling increasingly repugnant as November 5th looms (ONLY ONE MORE WEEK!), but I’ve had no desire to talk about it. Things have been ugly and stupid and, well, today’s been ugly and stupid enough that I have to say something at last. Cos Drumpf held a big rally at Madison Square Garden… no, wait, that link goes to the Wiki entry about the 1939 Nazi rally there… eh, fuck it, same difference. Howw are people responding? Well, Geraldo Rivera at least is pissed:

Now Geraldo is kind of weird as Republicans go, but even so. In fairness to Trump, he didn’t actually say that “floating island of garbage” bit himself; that was Tony Hinchcliffe, one of the opening acts, an alleged comedian whose set apparently also encompassed jokes against Jews and Blacks…, cos

This is bullshit, of course, cos Trump has said the other things Geraldo cited, and Hinchcliffe’s jokes seem to have kind of set the tone; when Dampnut finally showed up two hours late to do his own speech which was apparently full of anti-immigrant bullshit. They’re not courting anything except the white racist vote, and they’re not exactly hiding it. If we ever had doubts…

On the plus side, Candace Owens just got refused entry to Australia for being a piece of shit:

Immigration Minister Tony Burke confirmed the conservative online influencer would not be granted a visa, saying “Australia’s national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else”.
“From downplaying the impact of the Holocaust with comments about [Nazi physician Josef] Mengele through to claims that Muslims started slavery, Candace Owens has the capacity to incite discord in almost every direction,” Mr Burke said.

I have no particular problems with this. Too many Hitlerites in this country as it is.
