Bill Burr saying he was performing for "the people" at the Riyadh Comedy Festival?
Which people? The imported immigrants who are basically used as slave labor? The immigrant construction workers who toil under unsafe conditions? Saudi women and minorities?
Bill Burr is a hypocrite.

That was very mean. And fake. Very unfair. What news organization are you with? From your accent I'd say Britain. Very low IQ people in Britain. They end up working for the BBC. You know what that stands for? Big British Fake News. Only the smartest people say every thought. You should know that.

I consider that constantly. Vance is young, physically healthy and has his faculties, but has fully embraced Trumpism.

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.
