2024 US Presidential Election

^Agreed. Trump campaigning in New York is the equivalent of Harris campaigning in Tennessee. Not only is it not going to shift anything, there’s no upside.

To this point:

That was like Thanksgiving dinner with that one great uncle who makes off-color jokes:
With just more than a week until Election Day, former President Trump held a rally in deep blue New York City, an area he’s highly unlikely to ever win. The rally has been getting a lot of attention, but not from the main act himself.



Trump loyalists spewed racist and vulgar remarks during the warm-up, hurling insults at Puerto Rico, Vice President Harris, Palestinians and more.



For example:

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who goes by Kill Tony, made derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico: “There’s a lot going on. Like I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.” ^This line has angered a lot of people on both sides of the aisle.

Hinchliffe also made vulgar comments about Latinos “making babies”: 📹 Watch the clip


Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson insulted Harris’s heritage: “It’s gonna be pretty hard [for Democrats] … to look in the eye to America with a straight face … and say, ‘You know what? Kamala Harris, she got 85 million votes because she’s just so impressive. As the first Samoan-Malaysian low-IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president,’” Carlson said sarcastically. 📹 Watch Carlson’s remarks

Former Trump White House aide Stephen Miller on America: “America is for Americans and Americans only.”

From New York City radio host Sid Rosenberg: “She is some sick b——, that Hillary Clinton. What a sick son of a b—-. The whole f—ing party. A bunch of degenerates. Jew-haters and low lives, every one of them.” 📹 Watch the clip

💡 Why this matters: It was an interesting choice to prioritize New York City over a battleground in the final week of the dead-even campaign. But what’s more interesting is the content of the rally. It wasn’t directed at undecided, independent, battleground voters. Instead, it was red meat for his most loyal supporters filled with controversial remarks.

The Trump campaign is in part disavowing some of the shit said in MSG yesterday.

I think something Trump had to say was the most signficiant part of the night:

“We gotta get the congressmen elected and we gotta get the senators elected, because we can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think with our little secret we’re going to do really well with the House, right? Our little secret is having a big impact,” Trump said while looking in Johnson’s direction.

Appearing to point at the House speaker, the former president added, “He and I have a secret. We’ll tell you what it is when the race is over.”

I think he may not even be trying to win the election anymore, just get close enough to sow enough chaos that they can justify throwing the election to the House to settle. He can win, even if he loses.

Project 2025 stopped being a secret, but I guess he didn't get the memo.

Trump said trump had nothing to do with that, and trump believed him.

Someone set fire to a the ballot collection box closest to our house. Hundreds of ballots destroyed.

The margin in the 2022 house race was razor thin and flipped to a conservative Democrat. Someone in the area has been tampering with signs. The GOP signs are unmolested.

I'm not going to jump to conclusions about who's responsible, whoever it is needs to be held accountable.

suspect driving a Volvo, according to G. Carlin must be a green voter
Beside the joke, disgusting behaviour, I hope he/she is apprehended quickly and condemned to set an example

[The Grand Nudger]

Wont be the way that goes down if it's a magat. There's a wingnut welfare circuit that picks these people up and turns them into heroes. Not even killing a motherfucker is too far for that... a little ballot burning is gonna be a-okay.

[Silver]

As reparation, every burned dem vote should count twice.

[The Grand Nudger]

Especially if they have kids. See. Bi-parti-san!

For what it's worth, when I sent off my ballot, I used a normal mailbox. If anyone else hasn't sent their votes out, I'd recommend using this method. Hopefully, this will be a  bit less vulnerable to right-wing terrorism.
