    I am really disappointed to see Bill Burr here. I’m not surprised to see Mark Norman and others who made a name for themselves by making jokes at others expense. They remind me of little kids in school picking on the fat kid or the new kid from another country.

    I hate to bring this up, especially since SA kills people so openly, but the US’s track record of committing terrorist acts, or supporting terrorism (South America) is terrible. We’re currently supplying weapons to Israel that they use to kill children. That’s going on right now, they’ve killed like 60,000 Palestinians, 20,000 children. If you weren’t American would you be okay with comedians playing in a country with America’s history?

      The difference is comedians performing at Riyadh are paid by the Saudi government. Comedians performing in US are not paid by US government.

      I haven’t been to the US since I had an already scheduled stopover shortly after Trump was elected (but before he was in office) the first time. Since then I’ve only taken flights that avoid US airspace.

      Before that, I used to travel to the US regularly. I just don’t trust things to be both predictable and safe for foreigners anymore, since the current leaders have been very vocal that they consider the constitution to only apply to certain people.
