    “I don’t know if you guys 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,” said Hinchcliffe, whose joke was immediately flagged by Harris’ campaign as it competes with Trump to win over Puerto Rican communities in Pennsylvania and other swing states.

    Oh my god, this is the greatest joke ever. Woo, I almost peed my pants. It’s funny bc it’s racist. Woke crowds wouldn’t get it.

    If you think its absurd that Mr. Trump can denigrate virtually everybody in America except a very select few for a very select few and still be neck and neck in the polls, well, yeah, it is.

    Every time the man or his associates open their mouth, hopefully it refreshes the goldfish-brained media cycle to remember what a 2nd Trump presidency will actually mean.

    Still, there’s no time to lose hope. Go out and vote if you can, convince everyone to vote to keep out the fascist.

    Duh. The only tool that they have left is personal attacks. Their policy positions have made the party even less likable or tolerable.

    Let me have at it. Just like Nazi’s before then doing the same shit, they’ll be shut down and on the wrong side of history.

      the leader of that group back in 1939 was locked up at sing sing before the end of the year… (for embezzlement, money spent on a mistress, iirc… so right up trump’s alley).

    Why the fuck is this guy having a rally in solidly blue New York this close to a knife-edge election?

      Ego. He wanted to play Madison square garden. The owner is a fan of his and clearly offered him the venue.
