I'm really curious to see how ANY SANE INDIVIDUAL can defend the rhetoric espoused at this rally? How could anyone vote for someone who considers Puerto Ricans 'piles of garbage'? This among so much other disgusting balderdash, it's difficult to even know where to begin.

Trump's Madison Square Garden event features crude and racist insults

With just over a week to go before Election Day, the former president will take the stage at one of the country’s most iconic venues, hosting a hometown rally to deliver his campaign’s closing message.

Trump's pile of garbage on the racist side is fathomless. It goes back to being sued along with daddy for discrimination in rentals, calling for the death penalty for (subsequently exonerated) teenagers, 'No Mexican judge can try my case', lies about New Jersey Muslims on 9-11, "rapists and drug dealers and, I assume, some very fine people", shithole countries, skinheads in Charlottesville being 'very fine people', making 'Sheriff Joe' a hero, the 'Why don't they go back where they came from?'comment on the Squad, Haitians in Ohio blah-blah-blah, and I'm sure I've missed some. And the election is still a coin toss. And the conservos think we're in a post-racist society....
 
I believe that Trump's "Nazi-like", (notice I not say Nazi or Hitler) rally has been discussed on other threads.
Maybe not enough depth, but the criticism of Trump's style and rhetoric is so huge it's hard to contain it in one thread.

I do say Nazi. They are Nazis.
 
Is Trump cratering?
Sure seems like it. The question is, can he do enough damage to himself in the next week to BIGLY lose the election?

In a normal universe, he'd be cratering. But he and MAGA appear to be ascending.

There are those who differ -vehemently.
Several people who know more about it than I do are quite sanguine about Kami’s chances. I can’t quite see the ground they stand on, but these last few days have a certain je ne sais quoi about them. A faint reek of putrid desperation coming from the fascists.
I already voted, and would like to tune it all out.

You know the odd thing I was just thinking about was... why the joke at all? I get the joke (Steven Wright style single sentence observation), but it just seems like it was nothing but a bigoted joke that had no other purpose than being bigoted. As in, you laugh because you think Hispanics are trash. It isn't self-deprecating humor, and that joke wouldn't work in a self-deprecating way either. It was bigoted insult.

If your entire schitck is bigotry that targets Latinos, Jews (notice the big 's' anti-Semitism!), and Blacks... and you are signed up to speak at a Trump rally in MSf'ingG., not some local yokel rally in the middle of Alabama, but MSG! One has got to think this was all quite intentional and the MAGA movement is all-in on bigotry and anti-Semitism.

Also, will it be widely reported that he is saying nutty things and claiming exhaustion?? Some of his stories and comments from the fall rallies are not only obscene but delusional. Why are they not more commonly known?

Because it’s such a firehose?
I don’t know, I really don’t.
We probably need that National Inquirer Pecker dude to have a come to Jesus moment or Rupert Murdoch to bequeath his estate to the ACLU.

Have you not heard of Guam?

He is still in Congress. My district (GA-4) really can't catch a break.

Leading scientists to respond, shut up and legislate. By all accounts Guam is still out there, safely floating in the Pacific. I read they put in anchors to prevent hurricanes from blowing it around. It is unfortunate that not all politicians can be like Merkel when it comes to scientific literacy. Snowballs, space laser, capsizing islands, pandemic response, it is a good reminder than many lawyers aren't scientists because they no good at maths and sciencing.

Has anyone told Hank Johnson (D. GA)?

The man who famously told the House Armed Services Committee, when they proposed sending additional forces to Guam:

Hank Johnson said:
My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.

He was allegedly joking too. Though as his comments didn't needlessly denigrate the native population of the island, it likely wouldn't be recognised as a joke by the MAGA crowd.


ETA: Should have known Derec would be all over this. And would need a two minute video edited for the hard of thinking to illustrate the point, despite the actual quote being a mere nineteen words.

It's okay everyone, JD Vance has fixed it

If That Puerto Rico Joke Doesn’t Cost Trump, JD Vance’s Reaction Will

The Republican vice presidential nominee has made the whole joke worse with his defense.
newrepublic.com newrepublic.com

It's almost RVonse-like in its obfuscation;

“Maybe it’s a stupid, racist joke, as you said; maybe it’s not. I haven’t seen it,” he continued. “I’m not gonna comment on the specificity of the joke … but I think that we have to stop getting offended at every little thing in the United States of America, I’m just so over it.”

This is the same guy who got sand in his arse crack over being called a couch fucker.
 
I am so sick of the Republican hand wringing over this - and their faux outrage. They didn't know he would say this? He has literally said the exact same jokes before!! You knew damn well what he would say. You didn't care before. Your outrage is because you realized others disapproved and now you're scrambling to "feel their pain." Fucking Republican shit bags.

At least this guy's career is destroyed. I just hope Vance and Trump are next.
