Had no idea it was a movie, was a slogan at video rental places (that were pretty much out of business by 2008) before I was born. Seeding torrents is a p deece analogy for the benefit it provided

    Is he? I figured he just sold out and didn't want to jeopardize any of his contracts due to calls for political violence. Still disappointing, but I haven't seen any evidence that he's actually a Trumper.

    He's basically by the band broke up. Kyle made a joke about someone taking a shot at trump, something about better aim, Jack got all pissy about it.

    Yeah, "next time don't miss", I'm familiar with the event. My point is it seems way more likely that the motivation there was "Publicly calling for the assassination of the president of the United States will probably make the major studios who pay me millions of dollars less likely to continue doing that." and not "I support trump and didn't think he should be assassinated".

    My side is, trump has been spewing hatred the last 2 decades, now someone does something about and people are all "keep violence and hate out of politics!" which is how I see jack black acting. Trump can go fuck himself along with Jack. Hypocrites all around.

    I mean sure, but my point is that he's a sellout, not MAGA. He didn't defend Trump, he defended his bag. It's still bad but it's not the same thing.

    Then again, fuck, how many songs/skits do they have centered around breaking up? I wouldn't be totally surprised if they spin this into a reunion thing after the heat dies. I can visualize the conversation like the show never ended:

    "Dude, Kage, you know I love you. But that was some provocative shit you just said, and I don't disagree. But I am on the line for tens of millions, with an M, contractually obligated US dollars. Dinero, Rage. Let's just take a little breaky-poo, circle back after pay day, and use all that cash to double down on the righteousness. I'm gonna need you to take the heat, but it's all gonna pay off in the end. We can't lose! Two Kings?"

    Maybe it's just cope, but the recurring theme of betrayal indicates to me that either it was always an abusive relationship, or that the treachery is at least potentially performative.
