It’s truly disheartening to witness the degradation of a once-admired figure like Jack Black. In a recent performance in Sydney, his bandmate from Tenacious D, Kyle Gass, used the occasion of his birthday wish to make a distasteful political comment.
The video showcased Black presenting Gass with a birthday cake and prompting him to “make a wish.”
Gass’ reply was shocking and out of line: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

The audience, regrettably, found this crude “joke” amusing. It raises serious questions about the moral compass of those who find such remarks entertaining.
Could it be possible that these individuals are indeed the real malevolent ones here?
Jack Black went on stage with his band over the weekend and his bandmate said "don't miss Trump next time" to laughs from the audience.
A month ago, he was a featured speaker at Biden's fundraiser in Los Angeles.

The disappointment is profound when respected entertainers stoop so low. It’s a sad day indeed to see Jack Black endorsing this type of behavior.
So, America, we must now boycott Jack Black and his band; make them go broke, so they will disappear. The entire world does NOT need this kind of discord; is there no longer any civility left anywhere? My mamma gave me some good advice, when I was very young; she said “If you have nothing good to say, keep you mouth shut!” It does not mean you have to agree; it simply means don’t try to, intentionally, make things worse.
correct … many such comments were made ..people that say things like that and wish death to a person need to be shunned ..lose their jobs .
