“He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris so I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.” - Snoop because Donald pardoned the co-founder of Death Row Records Source Jan 29, 2024 - HuffPo

It's really weird to see Snoop continuing to get treated like some sort of cross-generational wholesome Santa Claus. He's just a run-of-the-mill selfish millionaire. There's a reason he gets along so well with Martha Stewart. He has nothing in common with you and doesn't give a shit about anything but himself and his personal brand. There are legit icons of Hip Hop worth celebrating and deserving of being beloved public figures, but Snoop Dogg is not one of them.

Edit: some of you appear to believe it’s okay to be a Trump supporter as long as Donald Trump did your buddy a favor. So allow me to clear this up, it’s not. Hell, supporting a fascist just because he did your buddy a favor is barely better than being openly fascist and only furthers my point that Snoop is a selfish piece of shit.

To expand on that, I think these are people looking to set themselves up for continued grifting in the post-Trump fascist movement. Being just critical enough “of the Trump campaign” now will allow them to say they jumped ship in August 2024 without actually committing to abandoning Trump until after the election. They want to be in a position to claim they were ahead of the curve due to their astute political acumen. But don’t want the short term fall out from actually doing it, nor the potential risk of being proven wrong in November.

It’s a transparent move, but it’ll be effective on the post-Trump MAGA base, as these are generally not bright people.

You just normally see an article about a Sunday press appearance earlier than Saturday.

Holy shit dude. For the last time, the article is about the founder of the National Black Farmer Association's comments regarding what JD Vance said. That's why it was written on Friday. Vance's comments were from Sunday. Then the NBFA's founder spoke out about it days later. I literally cannot dumb this down for you any more than I already have.

If you don't understand that an article written on Friday, which refers to an event on "Sunday" without any additional qualifiers, is always going to be referring to the most recent Sunday and not the future... Then I don't know what to tell you, this isn't rocket science.

Yes. The article, published on Friday, is about the founder of the National Black Farmers Association responding to something JD Vance said on Sunday. This should not be confusing you this much.

Nah, the problem is there's just nothing humorous about it. Not even Robin Williams could've made that bit work, and everybody loves him. (RIP)

Correct. JD Vance said a thing on Sunday. The founder of the National Black Farmers Association responded. Mother Jones then wrote an article about it on Friday. This is a fairly standard sequence of events for the news. Except, of course, in that old tv show, Early Edition, about the guy who'd get tomorrow's newspaper today and then have to prevent some tragedy from happening in every episode.
