Elevating the discourse
AP headline:
Trump’s Madison Square Garden event features crude and racist insults
Crude, racist, and sexist.
With just over a week before Election Day, speakers at the rally Sunday night labeled Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris “the devil,” and said the woman vying to become the first woman and Black woman president had begun her career as a prostitute.
“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 Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic whose set also included lewd and racist comments about Latinos, Jews and Black people, all key constituencies in the election just nine days away.
And by “lewd” do we mean sexist? I bet we do.
Trump’s childhood friend David Rem referred to Harris as “the Antichrist” and “the devil.” Businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd that Harris ”and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.”
Makes one proud to be a Namerican.
The atmosphere at that rally seemed to be Don Imus meets Augusto Pinochet. Disgusting.
Kevin Drum has been posting about the rally, including about Elon Musk’s speech:
The tools of fascism that incite riots. I’m afraid they’re just getting started; there’s still a week to go.
Two incidents today show the Maga style commitment to democracy. Two ballot drop off boxes were torched today = one in Vancouver WA and one in SE Portland.
Yes I was reading up on that and the
ReichstagMSG nightmare while you were commenting. Busy night last night.Islands don’t float unless they’re made of pumice…
And Musk’s pro-Trump PAC had a post up on X saying:
America really can’t afford a ‘C-Word’ in the White House right now.

KAMALA HARRIS IS A C WORD.
Apparently, it’s been taken down but is still there in all its despicable glory on Facebook.
