A day after a lone shooter attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, Jack Black sang “Happy Birthday” to his bandmate, Kyle Gass, at the duo’s concert in Australia. The two make up the band Tenacious D.

Black told Gass to “make a wish,” and Gass said, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

I have never liked Jack Black and this piece of business makes me like him even less.

This story appears in a number of well known sources, but they are all connected with MSN which, as I understand it, cannot be used on FR.

Jack Black has always been one to attack Christians.

If Black doesn’t come out and apologize in some manner, then every single movie I have with him in it is gone. Pretty soon I won’t have any movies left with everything I’ve deleted because of boneheaded celebrities.

it’s against the law to make jokes about bombs in airports or on airplanes, so why isn’t it against the law to make jokes about assassinating elected officials?

I’m not sure you can fault Jack Black for this, it was the other guy that made the statement.

Anyone who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart, mind and soul.

They could be a friend or an actor or a relative or a neighbor.

It doesn’t matter.

They have a criminal heart, mind and soul.

Treat them accordingly and stay away from them.

I agree he better apologize with some added groveling. I still haven’t watched NFL in a long time.

Jack Black looks like your typical communist loser, loner, fat ass, and evil to the core. How can someone be that full of hate in their soul to say such a horrible thing

Another washed up celebrity using politics to extend their 15 minutes. Yawn.

I have no clue to who he is or what he's pedaling.

I think I'll keep it that way.

Why not? People are blamed all the time for their employees/associates remarks and conduct. Bennie Thompson (D-Black) supposedly just fired someone who wished harm on President Trump.

That’s right, Jack is innocent in this case, it’s his band mate Kyle Gass that made the stupid joke.

He played Carl Denham in the 2005 Peter Jackson remake of “King Kong”.

I stopped watching Hollywood productions about twenty years ago for a variety of reasons - boneheaded celebrities included. Last night I actually watched one for the first time in a while. Good costumes, expensive settings, but the dialogue sounded like it was written for a 12-year-old - which it probably was.

Get a good streaming service and start watching foreign films and TV shows. You won't even notice the subtitles after a while and your brain will thank you for tuning out the cultural rot.
