      They look like they got taken out of a time capsule from the 80’s. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see Kid and/or Play rocking something like that back in the day.

    Why isn’t he marketing to us Jews? I want two-for-the-price-of-one pennies!

    When I see how many of my relatives are actually considering voting for this monster, the question answers itself. I’m simply stunned seeing Jews defend a man who openly supports Hitler.

      Well, the shoes are gold, so I think they were doing their best to appeal.

      And, I’ve got a cousin who is amped for Trump and calls Musk a genius (I’m black, so it hurts even more).

        You’re not wrong. I can’t help but imagine myself singing “If I Were a Rich Man” in those shoes.

        Just like I assume you can’t stop wanting to watch The Wiz while wearing them. Or, you know, whatever is Fiddler on the Roof for black people.

        In case it needs to be said: sooooooooo much /s

      Don’t feel bad. Unless you’re trump or ivanka, he has no loyalty, so anyone voting for trump is having the leopard eat their face.

        Look, I’m all for people feeding their faces to leopards. The problem is that they leave their freaking front door open and then their leopard starts eating everyone’s face in the neighborhood. Some people just aren’t happy until the leopards have nothing left to feed on.

    I will give someone a hundred internet points if they can find one single picture of a black guy in trumps gold sneakers out in public.

      More depressing would be the victory of “outworld” Biden. The most depressing thing here is that nobody looks at the young candidates, like they don’t exist or something.

        Biden is a flip flopping coward, but I fail to see how electing him would be “more depressing” than wannabe Hitler.

        Very few look at Biden as anything more than a, “Block Trump from office” vote. People aren’t voting for biden, they are voting for the only one who stands a chance at being elected when pit against Trump

        I think we’re all pretty bummed that we “have to” vote for Biden. He sucks. He’s also the candidate of a party in a 2 party system. We have no choice. It is a shitty system. I’m confident that in a more democratic system of representation (abolish the electoral college, implement ranked-choice voting, etc) we would all spend considerably more time talking about “the best” candidates that match our views most closely, but unfortunately in this country there’s really not much point.

        While I agree with your intent there actually is a Fox entertainment that’s owned by Disney and is not in any way currently connected to the trash fire that is Fox News. Fox News was spun off into its own thing while the rest of Fox that isn’t dedicated to Republican propaganda was sold to the highest bidder which happened to be Disney.

          I think they were referring to the fact that they got in trouble or something for calling it news? I don’t exactly remember, but I remember hearing something about them having to change it to Fox entertainment because it couldn’t be considered news since it was all opinion bullshit. I am probably wrong about this but the good thing about the internet is if I am someone will correct me quickly.

            The channel name wasn’t changed, it’s still Fox News. They got in trouble for running opinion pieces in the middle of their news segments, and referring to some of their non-news people like Tucker Carlson as reporters and pieces they ran as news reports.

            It was all tied in with the Dominion lawsuit and related cases around that time where a big chunk of their defense basically boiled down to “those things were said for entertainment purposes and were clearly exaggerations and hyperbole, no sane person would believe insert blatant but typical Fox News bullshit here”.

            The plaintiff rightfully pointed out that if you present “opinions” alongside your so called news without clearly calling them out as opinions, many people (and pretty much every last regular Fox News viewer) will assume you’re making factual statements.

            Among other things, as part of the settlement Fox News also needs to have fact checkers present during their news segments to call them on their bullshit which has led to some hilarious clips lately where the muppets pretending to be reporters get absolutely demolished by the fact checker in real time.

            Actually, they made the argument in court that they are not in the news business. Even said that any reasonable person would know it’s satire.

          Fox Entertainment is actually not owned by Disney, its the parts of 20th Century Fox Studios Disney couldn’t acquire or want. And Disney has dropped “Fox” from 20th Century Studios, owing to Fox News.
