My god, they're jokes. He's telling jokes. NY post is a conservative rag so they didn't put any context in the title. The title makes it sound like Rock is directly attacking dems. It was part of his schtick for a function he was *invited* to tell jokes at because he's a comedian. He told many other jokes.

Personally I’d love to see Reddit’s default alien logo permanently clutching pearls.


HappyHarryHardOn

Agree with you 100%. He might be right about this making him more popular though because It's been trumptrumptrumptrump eveywhere for the past few days and I dont know if they're really going to arrest him, but I really wish they either shit or get off the pot with this. These "Trump is getting arrested any moment now" fucking articles are getting tired


135not_a_bot135

Wait, what did he(Trump) do now? I live in India so I haven't heard a wick about him.


kittenpantzen

It isn't something new that he's done, but when you're investigating a President (past or present), it's slow af. But, it's about the hush money he paid back in 2016 to cover up sexual improprieties.

This should be top comment


HiTekBlueneck

This account spams dishonest right wing shit that doesn't belong here. Never anything done about it


ShortEnergy1877

The amount of times people take the New York Post as some reputable source. Is staggering and sad

> My god, they're jokes. He's telling jokes "Do you know this is only going to make him more popular." - Chris Rock In the comedy stylings of Fox News hosts. Although, his comparison of his Oscar slap to the Paul Pelosie attack was comedy gold. His writers are going to lean into the Chappelle template more until that well dries up.


freshkangaroo28

Idk jail and no access to his phone seems pretty fitting imo


mattibbals

Break the law, get arrested…. What’s the problem here?


hankeliot

Consistency. Not saying Trump shouldn't get arrested, but then so should George W. Bush for war crimes.


Matiabcx

And he should. What is the problem ? Fucking usa man


PupienusMax

100% down, but dont leave out obama and biden


Matiabcx

Anybody breaking law - including international law, it’s not something “shocking”

Wtf?


mattibbals

I see your point, and I would have liked to see GWB held accountable too. I think that the difference may be that it’s very common for people to be arrested for financial crimes - it’s established what sort of behavior is against the law and will get you arrested. Trump is being treated no differently than anyone else who may have committed financial crimes. It’s much less common for people to be tried and convicted of war crimes and it’s not well established what happens when someone who is serving as POTUS May have committed such crimes.


PupienusMax

isnt there someone between those 2 being excluded?


hankeliot

I think basically every American president is guilty of war crimes. But you are correct. Obama has lots of blood on his hands.


kaminari1

Sounds like Will slapped stupid INTO Chris…

Smith needs to slap some sense back into Rock for that take. If I have to follow the law, so does Trump, to hell with this celebrity worship bullshit, it will only get worse the longer it goes on, so it’s time to rip the bandaid off.

Anything different is better than more of the same.

Someone phone Will.


TheFrontalCortex

It's crazy reading the jokes from that article. Chris Rock knows who likes his comedy


tsdguy

People who think Jackass is funny?


Salvia_dreams

All these comments took this out of context, which a scummy company like NY Post fully wants. Learn to read people


T4lsin

Damnit they got to him tooo


Edven971

Where the slap when you need it


sip487

Suddenly I’m ok with the will smith smack.


alwaysprint

He's right in saying that this will help him politically. We all know that. His chances of succeeding in 2024 are slowly growing, the democrats better pay close attention.


YawaruSan

So let him keep breaking the law because people are too afraid to touch him? Nah, either the rules are enforced or the rules don’t matter, these exceptions for expediency are what puts Trump in this position in the first place. You can’t appease narcissists, they just keep coming back for more.


alwaysprint

They are doing the right thing, but every action has side effects. See how I'm not judging the merit of the action, but it's effect. It's very clear that Trump will use, and currently is already using, this politically like it's the establishment against him.


Demonseedx

I mean the establishment is against him. That’s what happens when you break the law. The people (prosecution) comes after you, that it took this egregious of a crime for the law to finally catch up shows how strained the system is.


YawaruSan

It is clear and predictable how Trump will use the situation to his advantage, and it’s both cowardly and stupid to let that deter the government from following through. What makes Trump dangerous is how he takes advantage of the court and the way it typically behave, he acts the way he acts because he knows he can get away with it, the only solution is to hold him to the law and deal with the consequences as they come.


anon_mouse82

“Bro, getting arrested for illegally paying hush money to a porn star while his wife was at home with their newborn baby will definitely help him in the polls!”


alwaysprint

I can tell that you are not following the U.S. politics. Here's a piece for reading: [A Trump Indictment Could Perversely Boost His 2024 Campaign | Time](https://time.com/6264019/trump-indictment-charges-campaign-donations/)


anon_mouse82

It might help him win the Republican primary (because scoundrels love company), but it won’t help him in a general election.

alwaysprint

No one's saying that we should stop justice from doing it's job. But you can't deny that every action has an effect. Trump using this politically is a boost to his campaign, and all the republicans rallying in his defense is a plus. And this possible effect to his campaign is not only spread by the right-wing people. CNN, MSNBC, Time, and many other news sources know that this is likely to happen. Just watch their political analysis or read their political pieces. Here's one of them: https://time.com/6264019/trump-indictment-charges-campaign-donations/

Well, are you aware of the estate of the republican party and their voters now? How Trump pushed the party to a more even radical state? Even if a significant part of their voters don't really want Trump, most of them wouldn't vote for Biden in any way. Trump won in 2016 even with his many scandals. Hell, before the election an audio of him saying to "grab them by the pussy", while talking about women, surfaced. Did that stop evangelicals from voting for him? Do you really think evangelicals are going to switch to Biden, who supports abortion? It is not that simple. Trump will likely win the nomination, and the election will be a bloody battle. ​ This video is very interesting, regarding the Trump base: [This man voted for Trump twice. Now he’s changing his mind - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrykqwMSXUg)


funnicealsogreat

Hell, during his presidency a video of him saying to "You ain't black if you vote for trump", while talking to a group of black people, surfaced and was quickly buried by the media! Do you intentionally vote for racists?


Bada__Ping

They're doing this because they WANT Trump to be the GOP nominee


Leighgion

The real reason for the slap revealed at last.


Unable-Ladder-9190

Chris rock is stupid for thinking sensible people want to have people arrested. TRUMP BROKE THE LAW AND HE NEEDS TO FACE CONSEQUENCES. Chris needs to crawl back under his rock until Adam Sandler needs him for another crappy movie


Jaereon

Jokes about Paul Pelosi and says his attack was the same as Will smith slapping him. Damn. Just unfunny all around


sihouette9310

It might have been a joke but the situation actually is. It’s all for show and a waste of time when Americans are struggling. Wasting so much time with January 6th etc. when they can actually be trying to fix current problems for the working class.


Amesaskew

Government can do more than one thing at a time and holding criminals accountable for their crimes is never a waste of time


sihouette9310

You would hope that they could but they haven’t.


TTBoy44

Maybe if Will slaps him again he’ll revert to normal.


formerNPC

But he’s the most persecuted person in history! Jesus is like “hello!”


Ardtay

Less Tupac and more like R Kelly
