They really picked the perfect time to go mask off with their vileness. Way to remind people in literally the home stretch that they don't believe 75% of the population is human.
It's an echo of Hitler's 'Germany for Germans' slogan. Granted, it sounded better in the original German, but apparently Stephen Miller couldn't manage that.
Yes, indeed. The only component that is still missing is the economy. Hitler was able to weasel his way into Germany from Austria because the German economy had been destroyed by WW I. Germans were starving and had nothing. He promised to restore pomp and circumstance. He ignored the Allied Forces' prohibition of Germany building an army. This is the reason why tRump and his billionaire cronies are salivating over crashing the economy - to then, like Hitler, be able to march in, take over and seize power.
AND all of his government contracts cancelled and his top security clearance revoked! It’s unbelievable to me that a Russian ASSet has US security clearance and billions in government contracts that the US citizens pay for!
They are, however, naturalized U.S. citizens. They aren't the ones that Trump wishes to strip of their citizenship, however...because they are WHITE naturalized citizens.
Rupert Murdoch, can't be too much longer for the world, but his son Lachlan is running things, and from all accounts actually believes the effluent. Rupert just peddled hate for money and power. He knew it was lies.
When will WE come for him. That little putz should have been stuffed in a seabag and thrown off the Santa Monica Pier in the middle of winter storm 20 years ago when he was School Asswipe at Santa Monica Higgh.
That would be self-hating Jew/reincarnation of Reinhard Heydrich (look at a photo and tell me I'm wrong), former School Asswipe at Santa Monica High 20 years ago Steven Miller.
Yep, it's like they think all of America is like they are. I understand getting lost in an echo chamber. I do it all the time, but that's an epic lack of awareness.
I posted it elsewhere, but that's really the nub of it. They spend all of their time in their own safe spaces and become clueless about what the rest of the country and the world think.
That's what they have programmed him to think. Remember all the MAGATs saying Joe Biden could not have won, because his rallies were smaller (because of the pandemic)?
Same here, Charles, though my local environs are infested with them - yards, vehicles and homes plastered in cult paraphernalia. They'd rather have the price of eggs go down a dime than maintain their rights and the rights of all Americans.
That sounds awful. I live in Georgia, but I live in Atlanta, so the opposite is true, but people aren't freakish about it. Yard signs, that's it. This cult thing is so disturbing.
There is not one thing that has been revealed by these latest comments that seems surprising to me. The term "immigrants" is racist code for the "N word" and other derogatory terms to Black and Brown peoples. Many of the people that are meant by this coded language, have been buying in to the idea of being anti-immigrant themselves. That means they have been embracing ideas of getting rid of themselves. So, let us hope this language, which is not coded is clearer to people and they act to preserve themselves. Otherwise they are just sheep, led by jackals to the slaughter.
Elon Musk’s PAC put out an ad against Harris using the code “C Word” meaning c**t. He took the ad down from X but it’s still up on Facebook. Read Popular Information substack posted this morning. 🤬
As fascism expert Prof. Ruth Ben-Ghiat said, Trump can only escalate as the campaign goes on because that is the only way he can get attention. When they say garbage, it is code for the "N word" a new code, whereas before Immigrants spat out, was the code for the "N word" and all other terms that are derogatory to Black and Brown skinned people, as well as non-Christians, and people who are LGBTQ+.
They definitely don't believe women are human. And I will tell you that my girls are going to take this damn election, turn it back to womens rights, and never, ever give it up again. Who run the world? Yeah, not Girls! Women. And you know how women are in charge of almost every household you know. Yeah, women have been in charge of the White House for years, just not in the spotlight. We are going to shine that spotlight!
Oh em gee I'm so slow!!! I didn't get the "beeper blowing up" comment until I read this. I was thinking of beepers "blowing up" in the sense of messages, and I was like, "huh?" Holy crap, that's such a craven and awful comment that my innocent little mind wouldn't even take me there.
And he said it so easily. Just ran out of his mouth like it was perfectly natural for him. Good God, these people are exhausting.
But one thing I got out of this essay is that without Trump, the movement is dead, because they don't have Trump's ability to dodge the consequences.
Gloves are off, lol. Love that ending line. Been off for awhile on my end, but I may add some brass knuckles for this final round.
It just goes to show that in MAGA minds, the words 'Palestinian' and 'Hamas terrorist' are synonymous. That guy didn't even have to stop and think, the insult about a beeper blowing up flowed straight from his brain and out his mouth. In the blink of an eye.
Yep. Just like every Muslim is a terrorist . Every Black is a welfare mama or a gang banger. Jews can’t be trusted and every gay is a pedophile and on and on and on…
Ignorance at a level that reaches evil.
All the while calling themselves “Christians”. Despicable.
Unfortunately the Christian shoe hasn't dropped yet. ChristoNationalists will start on them next. According to that group, there is only ONE religion...theirs. And Trump is their Messiah. Their "religion" is to be the only one in the "New America" under Trump. I don't remember who said it, and I'm paraphrasing here ( I can't remember it word for word), They came for the Jews, but I did nothing, I was not a Jew. They came for the gypsies, and the homosexuals. Again, I did nothing, for I was not one. Now they come for me, and who will defend me? There is no one left.
Yup - it was more than a threat - if he is Muslim, if he is pro-Gaza, pro Palestinian, he *must* be a Hamas terrorist . MH is a serious, intellectual journalist . A heavy weight - and he was taking the convo seriously - I think G sensed he wasn’t winning anyone over and pulled that comment out. No way was it said as a joke - they were in a heated discussion up to that point. I’d add that Giulianis comments at MSG about grooming every child from 2yo up to be a terrorist , was still hanging in the air … then this. Just astounding - I was shocked … and really felt for Mehdi H.
I hope the Muslim/Palestinian communities have heard Trump's counsel to Netanyahu: "Do what you have to do." I'm quite surprised that some seem to be going over toTrump. Do they think he will stop support to Israel.
Trump will give Netanyahu the green light to bulldoze Gaza and open it up to Israeli settlements. He's made that abundantly clear. Just as he'll let Putin have Ukraine and not give it a second thought.
Truly excellent post Jay - and great work in the video with Robert Hubbell - I look to you and Robert and Simon Rosenberg to keep me from tilting into "the Crazy". Also have written about 800 postcards and will phone bank for 6 hours this weekend. We all need to Fight the Good Fight!
Excellent! Yes, the gloves are off...call racists out every time! None of us got to choose our heritage, skin color, or sexual preference, and nearly 100% of those screaming about "immigrants" are descendants of immigrants themselves. America has always been a mix of different groups of people...that's what makes us so very interesting. We ALL have something to offer. #VOTEBLUE!
Some Dems are upset that CNN and MSNBC aired the rally, but it was the right thing to do. We want people to see for themselves what Trump and his evil cabal really are. The Puerto Rican reaction alone may be enough to clinch the election for Harris.
The more people see of Donald Trump, especially the late-stage Trump on view now, the more they're reminded of why they got rid of him in the first place. I know MSNBC, especially, caught heat for airing that hate rally, but voters need to see what's in store if Trump wins. He isn't the Donald Trump of 2016, or even 2020. He's older, more demented, and entirely more evil than he's ever been. It was a good decision to let people see that.
Agreed. I’m hoping their full broadcast hit people hard enough to finally wake them up long enough to make up their minds and go vote that demented old fool off his island. It was the imbedded newsmen and photographers that brought the horrors of the Vietnam Nam war to light so hopefully, all this post exposure will do the same thing. Bring on the light! Or as Mr Bezos says, “Democracy dies in darkness”(color this with lots of snark).
And the thing is, if Donald Trump made an actual sincere(-sounding) apology, the Chick Todds and Dana Bashes of the world would carry him on their shoulders through Election Day. Because putting the mask back on is what our wealthy media stars do. But of course Trump can’t and won’t do it. That would be “weakness,” which most people call decency.
trump is completely incapable of saying the words "I'm sorry". He truly believes he's never been wrong and is in no need of forgiveness, either from God or us.
Yes, he stated that very specifically several years ago--during the 2016 campaign, maybe? I don't recall the exact context, but I remember his saying, in terms of God, that he didn't have anything to be forgiven for. Many, if not most, evangelicals' beliefs start with "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." He claims he has not.
For proof of your very statement Lisa, last night the 🍊💩🤡 said the MSG rally was a beautiful rally and couldn’t believe how much love was in the room, so much love. That’s what he believes love is. If he wins, his MAGATS will find out first hand what his “love” truly looks like. His black little heart will be on full display and no one will be safe from the wrath he will bring upon the American people. Even the white ones who wear a red hat.
Just one problem with that: Trump is a Roy Cohn acolyte. He'll never apologize, never admit he did anything wrong, and blame it on someone else. It's the Cohn playbook.
Hitler wanted to influence the children. Heaven help us if MAGA control of schools continues. Kids don't know the history of Nazi Germany. In the South they soon will not learn the truth of slavery and the Civil War. They will be doomed to repeat it. So much depends on this election. Prayer for a Trifecta.
When I watched and heard that ugly joke about Puerto Rico I was stunned. When he was talking about an island of trash I thought, wow, a MAGA person is going to talk about how we need to do something about these floating islands of debris. I enjoyed a fleeting moment of hope that there was someone in that group that cared about cleaning up and being responsible for our environment. When he delivered what he thought was a punch line I experienced a gut punch. Literally. It hurt like someone had punched me. From hope to shock in a moment.
I realized that this WAS going to be. NAZI rally and stopped watching. I read about it and saw clips later but that—in our country—being that hateful and crass in the name of a campaign that goes against everything I believe in—no. Just no.
Yeah. I too was taken in by that first sentence. I thought he going to say something about The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Then with that punch line I saw him going down.
That "somebody" was Miller, or one of trump's other nasty handlers. The location of this hate rally was not an accident. As soon as I learned where it would be, I immediately remembered the 1939 American Nazi rally that was held there. It wasn't a big leap to then understand that the speakers would ALL be carefully chosen to present maga hate, and not very subtly encourage followers to carry it forward however they wish. Disgusting!
Yeah, not a good look to admit you have no idea what is going on with your speakers and that therefore it’s your people running your campaign who were in favor of lines like that.
And Trump’s staff loaded his lines onto the teleprompter. Maybe I’m being naïve, but I would assume that *someone* would do their due diligence and at least quickly *scan* anything they put up, but maybe there were too many guest speakers to be more careful.
I think they knew exactly what was being loaded onto the teleprompter, and wanted it said out loud. They just didn't anticipate the level of outrage from anyone outside of their tight little bubble.
Quite likely you’re right. I’ll never be able to understand how 47% of American voters can care SO little about the MAGA hatred. The only conclusions I can reach is that Americans are FAR less educated and coarser than I ever imagined, or that we’re a nation half filled with the most vile and disgusting humans on the face of the earth. The south of Spain is looking better and better….
tRump has no one to blame for his campaign's descent into chaos but himself. He welcomed all of these creeps into their big tent by spouting all the dog whistles they want to hear. It gave them tacit permission for them to start saying the quiet part out loud. The American political right has a ways been a coalition of business interests and wealthy people seeking tax reductions with the RWNJs. They despise each other but need each others' votes to rule. In the final rundown to the election, they are starting to give everyone else a look at just how unattractive what they have to offer truly is. I am cautiously optimistic that they don't have anywhere near the support they think they do. And I doubt seriously Joe Biden is going to stand by and let them stage an insurrection.
About f***ing time to take the gloves off. I guess it took that mass hate rally at MSG for the country to see what evil MAGA was spewing for everyone that isn’t a white male.
AOC is also of Puerto Rican descent. She and Bernie Sanders are going around the country campaigning for VP Harris. She gave a deeply emotional speech in Madison last night. She graduated from Boston University with degrees in International Relations and Economics, Cum Laude.
We all know the convicted felon, demented, morbidly obese, coward with the Halloween Pumpkin orange make up dripping down his ugly face is not only fascist to the core, but racist to the core. I was really grateful to learn of the endorsement of Arab American leaders meeting in Dearborn, MI to endorse VP Harris. I remember the "Muslim Travel Ban" in 2017.
I'm of course heartened by the blowback and righteous anger emanating from the large Stateside Puerto Rican communities, and hope that this anger is translated into Kamal Harris votes.
But - yes the inevitable BUT - do remember that tRump came down his shitty escalator over nine years ago and kicked off his first campaign by viciously attacking BY NAME Mexican immigrants in language far worse than the MSG imbroglio, and continues to this day to use the same terms, if not worse. The upshot? Hispanic votes having been moving his way since the 2016 election, despite non-stop insults of that voting bloc's countrymen. Will this time be different? We may find out in eight days.
The difference here, if I may, is that the people being targeted now are Puerto Ricans, who are American citizens, not immigrants. Combined with Trump's threats to sic the U.S. military on the 'enemy within', this attack on actual U.S. citizens carries a different weight.
I can only hope that the timing of this particular event, being the week before the election, will keep it fresher in voter’s minds as they go to the polls.
This is what I’m thinking as well. And, honestly: when was the the mask ON? Maga has always been a racist movement, from its days as the tea party and earlier.
Which is ironic because I’m sure the 🍊💩 has paid for many of them in his lecherous lifetime. Let alone the fact that he is farthest from “godly” of any person on the planet, including Putin. It’s mind boggling.
They really picked the perfect time to go mask off with their vileness. Way to remind people in literally the home stretch that they don't believe 75% of the population is human.
Agree. And one maga speaker said, "America is for Americans!" What does that actually mean? Good lord, if that isn't a dog whistle....
It's an echo of Hitler's 'Germany for Germans' slogan. Granted, it sounded better in the original German, but apparently Stephen Miller couldn't manage that.
And he's Jewish! He really should know better.
Pretty sure his family lost loved ones in the Holocaust as well.
I knew his cousin. His entire family is ashamed of him
I can't imagine how embarrassed his family must be - and heartbroken, too, I would imagine.
Exactly - everything they do is out of the Hitler Playbook
Yes, indeed. The only component that is still missing is the economy. Hitler was able to weasel his way into Germany from Austria because the German economy had been destroyed by WW I. Germans were starving and had nothing. He promised to restore pomp and circumstance. He ignored the Allied Forces' prohibition of Germany building an army. This is the reason why tRump and his billionaire cronies are salivating over crashing the economy - to then, like Hitler, be able to march in, take over and seize power.
Right.
They are scumbags.
And Elon Musk? Peter Thiel? Robert Murdoch? They are immigrants. They’re not Americans. Weren’t born here, right?
Deport those bastards first.
Musk should be investigated for campaign violations and election interference.
Deport his ass.
I heard that the DA of Philadelphia has opened an investigation.
He also broke immigration law when he first came to this country.
AND all of his government contracts cancelled and his top security clearance revoked! It’s unbelievable to me that a Russian ASSet has US security clearance and billions in government contracts that the US citizens pay for!
They are, however, naturalized U.S. citizens. They aren't the ones that Trump wishes to strip of their citizenship, however...because they are WHITE naturalized citizens.
Wealthy white naturalized citizens, who support him. Meanwhile he thinks (white) Jack Smith should be ejected from the country.
Yes, I should have added 'WEALTHY' into those qualifications.
Good one, Lynn ❤️🤍💙💙💙✌🏻
Rupert Murdoch, can't be too much longer for the world, but his son Lachlan is running things, and from all accounts actually believes the effluent. Rupert just peddled hate for money and power. He knew it was lies.
That was Stephen Miller. When will they come for you, Stevie?
When will WE come for him. That little putz should have been stuffed in a seabag and thrown off the Santa Monica Pier in the middle of winter storm 20 years ago when he was School Asswipe at Santa Monica Higgh.
I bet he was stuffed in many lockers, and is getting even now, he and his awful wife who is just as bad.
Stephen Miller. aka......Discount Goebbels ......never disappoints.
I hear some people wanted to dress up as Stephen Miller for Hallowe'en but the costume makers decided that was toooooo scary.
That would be self-hating Jew/reincarnation of Reinhard Heydrich (look at a photo and tell me I'm wrong), former School Asswipe at Santa Monica High 20 years ago Steven Miller.
They probably mean America is for the original Americans, which obviously are Native Americans, right? /s 😜
Stephen Miller is one crazy, sick dude!
yeah, he has serial killer eyes.
Yep, it's like they think all of America is like they are. I understand getting lost in an echo chamber. I do it all the time, but that's an epic lack of awareness.
I posted it elsewhere, but that's really the nub of it. They spend all of their time in their own safe spaces and become clueless about what the rest of the country and the world think.
I heard a guy being interviewed on BBC news yesterday say that he firmly believes Trump will win in a landslide. Perfect example of the echo chamber.
And there are still people who believe the earth is flat. Doesn't make it so.
That seems to be MAGA sentiment. I saw an article about this on my phone.
Assuming Trump will actually vote, I predict he will get ONE vote. Well, unless he’s looked in a mirror lately...
That's what they have programmed him to think. Remember all the MAGATs saying Joe Biden could not have won, because his rallies were smaller (because of the pandemic)?
Have you ever met one MAGAt who had the self-awareness of a rock?
I'm very lucky. I know very few MAGAts. I avoid them as much as possible. I'm also lucky because my family has avoided an infestation.
You are very lucky. A lot of families have been fractured by the Maggat cult.
Yes, I am, that’s true. I’ve heard the stories!
Same here, Charles, though my local environs are infested with them - yards, vehicles and homes plastered in cult paraphernalia. They'd rather have the price of eggs go down a dime than maintain their rights and the rights of all Americans.
That sounds awful. I live in Georgia, but I live in Atlanta, so the opposite is true, but people aren't freakish about it. Yard signs, that's it. This cult thing is so disturbing.
🤣🤣
Being maga REQUIRES an epic lack of awareness.
There is not one thing that has been revealed by these latest comments that seems surprising to me.

Our messaging should make it clear: being "one of the good ones" isn't going to help you.
"The only 'good Republicans' are pushing up daisies." - Harry Truman, 1948
Like Abraham Lincoln.
Like that black Trump supporter who was beaten at a Trump rally by white Trump supporters. That didn't get amplified enough.
The Trump and his White House killed Herman Cain. They dont give a crap about anyone.
Elon Musk’s PAC put out an ad against Harris using the code “C Word” meaning c**t. He took the ad down from X but it’s still up on Facebook. Read Popular Information substack posted this morning. 🤬
Actually "garbage" as in "garbage can" and "floating island of garbage" is their new codeword for those "other people".
As fascism expert Prof. Ruth Ben-Ghiat said, Trump can only escalate as the campaign goes on because that is the only way he can get attention. When they say garbage, it is code for the "N word" a new code, whereas before Immigrants spat out, was the code for the "N word" and all other terms that are derogatory to Black and Brown skinned people, as well as non-Christians, and people who are LGBTQ+.
more like "their HOODS slipped."
They definitely don't believe women are human. And I will tell you that my girls are going to take this damn election, turn it back to womens rights, and never, ever give it up again. Who run the world? Yeah, not Girls! Women. And you know how women are in charge of almost every household you know. Yeah, women have been in charge of the White House for years, just not in the spotlight. We are going to shine that spotlight!

Trump got a new subdivisision trump heights, in Israel named after him when he moved the consulate to Jerusalem.
Truly excellent post Jay - and great work in the video with Robert Hubbell - I look to you and Robert and Simon Rosenberg to keep me from tilting into "the Crazy". Also have written about 800 postcards and will phone bank for 6 hours this weekend. We all need to Fight the Good Fight!
Thank you for fighting for our democracy.
Yes. And thank you for writing all those postcards and phoning for all of us.
Brilliant last line! Well done Jay!
Excellent! Yes, the gloves are off...call racists out every time! None of us got to choose our heritage, skin color, or sexual preference, and nearly 100% of those screaming about "immigrants" are descendants of immigrants themselves.

I like that term "late-stage Trump."
Which is to say incurable, right?
a/k/a Tertiary syphilis stage.
He is also desperate to stay out of prison so panic is setting in big time!
Agreed. I’m hoping their full broadcast hit people hard enough to finally wake them up long enough to make up their minds and go vote that demented old fool off his island. It was the imbedded newsmen and photographers that brought the horrors of the Vietnam Nam war to light so hopefully, all this post exposure will do the same thing. Bring on the light! Or as Mr Bezos says, “Democracy dies in darkness”(color this with lots of snark).
I love a good snark! 😜
🙂↕️🙂↕️I’m full of N.C. mountain snark these days.
All my 200 postcards were mailed this weekend to Pa. Voters. Boriquas Vote BLUE.
Si se puede!
Gracias por su ayuda.
And the thing is, if Donald Trump made an actual sincere(-sounding) apology, the Chick Todds and Dana Bashes of the world would carry him on their shoulders through Election Day. Because putting the mask back on is what our wealthy media stars do. But of course Trump can’t and won’t do it. That would be “weakness,” which most people call decency.
It’s already too late. The Latino community knows from his statement that he “hadn’t heard about” the comment that he isn’t going to apologize.
Oh I know. I’m talking about our wealthy media class’s infinite ability to forgive (offer applies to Republicans only).
trump is completely incapable of saying the words "I'm sorry". He truly believes he's never been wrong and is in no need of forgiveness, either from God or us.
Yes, he stated that very specifically several years ago--during the 2016 campaign, maybe?

Many, if not most, evangelicals' beliefs start with "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." He claims he has not.
For all their high- mindedness and hours clocked in church, sure shows you the shallowness and hypocrisy of the Evangelicals.
“ Laughable,man!” — Jesus
You’d think for all the time they’ve claimed to spend with the Bible, they’d have happened across the story of the Pharisees, even just by accident.
Or the Sadducees as well.
YES!
"Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness, if I am not making mistakes?"
For proof of your very statement Lisa, last night the 🍊💩🤡 said the MSG rally was a beautiful rally and couldn’t believe how much love was in the room, so much love. That’s what he believes love is. If he wins, his MAGATS will find out first hand what his “love” truly looks like. His black little heart will be on full display and no one will be safe from the wrath he will bring upon the American people. Even the white ones who wear a red hat.
Just one problem with that: Trump is a Roy Cohn acolyte. He'll never apologize, never admit he did anything wrong, and blame it on someone else. It's the Cohn playbook.
And Cohn got his chops from working with McCarthey!!!!
If he were decent he wouldn't behave the way he does in the first place.
Hitler wanted to influence the children. Heaven help us if MAGA control of schools continues. Kids don't know the history of Nazi Germany. In the South they soon will not learn the truth of slavery and the Civil War. They will be doomed to repeat it. So much depends on this election. Prayer for a Trifecta.
Trifecta! 🇺🇸🙏🏽✨
WORK for a trifecta!!

Yeah. I too was taken in by that first sentence. I thought he going to say something about The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Then with that punch line I saw him going down.
Is there any group of people he has not maligned?
He has even maligned his cult. "I Love the Poorly Educated" https://youtu.be/Vpdt7omPoa0
Right on cue, Trump told ABC News this morning, say it with me, kids, "I don't know him, somebody put him up there."
Was he the coffee boy, Donnie?
This is worse for him than he realizes.
Good. He deserves worse.
But NO apology!
So he admits he’s not in charge….
It’s like all of the “best” people he put into his cabinet. When they imploded he suddenly never knew them. They all just somehow got appointed.
That "somebody" was Miller, or one of trump's other nasty handlers. The location of this hate rally was not an accident. As soon as I learned where it would be, I immediately remembered the 1939 American Nazi rally that was held there. It wasn't a big leap to then understand that the speakers would ALL be carefully chosen to present maga hate, and not very subtly encourage followers to carry it forward however they wish. Disgusting!
That's right, Linda, and none of us need to pretend we don't know that choice was deliberate.
Yeah, not a good look to admit you have no idea what is going on with your speakers and that therefore it’s your people running your campaign who were in favor of lines like that.
And Trump’s staff loaded his lines onto the teleprompter. Maybe I’m being naïve, but I would assume that *someone* would do their due diligence and at least quickly *scan* anything they put up, but maybe there were too many guest speakers to be more careful.
Or maybe they just didn’t give a shit….
Not only that, but they took some even worse material out his act. They knew. They ALL knew.
I think they knew exactly what was being loaded onto the teleprompter, and wanted it said out loud. They just didn't anticipate the level of outrage from anyone outside of their tight little bubble.
Quite likely you’re right. I’ll never be able to understand how 47% of American voters can care SO little about the MAGA hatred. The only conclusions I can reach is that Americans are FAR less educated and coarser than I ever imagined, or that we’re a nation half filled with the most vile and disgusting humans on the face of the earth. The south of Spain is looking better and better….
tRump has no one to blame for his campaign's descent into chaos but himself. He welcomed all of these creeps into their big tent by spouting all the dog whistles they want to hear. It gave them tacit permission for them to start saying the quiet part out loud. The American political right has a ways been a coalition of business interests and wealthy people seeking tax reductions with the RWNJs. They despise each other but need each others' votes to rule. In the final rundown to the election, they are starting to give everyone else a look at just how unattractive what they have to offer truly is. I am cautiously optimistic that they don't have anywhere near the support they think they do. And I doubt seriously Joe Biden is going to stand by and let them stage an insurrection.
We created this interactive map of Puerto Rico to highlight how distorted MAGA really is. "Check Puerto Rico’s Amazing Progress Under Biden-Harris"

Not embarrassed to admit I have a massive girl crush on Ana Navarro-Càrdenas, and she did NOT disappoint on The View.
About f***ing time to take the gloves off. I guess it took that mass hate rally at MSG for the country to see what evil MAGA was spewing for everyone that isn’t a white male.
Now let’s vote them into extinction!!!
Correction: "who isn't a MAGA white male." :)

AOC is also of Puerto Rican descent. She and Bernie Sanders are going around the country campaigning for VP Harris. She gave a deeply emotional speech in Madison last night. She graduated from Boston University with degrees in International Relations and Economics, Cum Laude.
We all know the convicted felon, demented, morbidly obese, coward with the Halloween Pumpkin orange make up dripping down his ugly face is not only fascist to the core, but racist to the core. I was really grateful to learn of the endorsement of Arab American leaders meeting in Dearborn, MI to endorse VP Harris. I remember the "Muslim Travel Ban" in 2017.
I'm of course heartened by the blowback and righteous anger emanating from the large Stateside Puerto Rican communities, and hope that this anger is translated into Kamal Harris votes.
But - yes the inevitable BUT - do remember that tRump came down his shitty escalator over nine years ago and kicked off his first campaign by viciously attacking BY NAME Mexican immigrants in language far worse than the MSG imbroglio, and continues to this day to use the same terms, if not worse. The upshot? Hispanic votes having been moving his way since the 2016 election, despite non-stop insults of that voting bloc's countrymen. Will this time be different? We may find out in eight days.
The difference here, if I may, is that the people being targeted now are Puerto Ricans, who are American citizens, not immigrants. Combined with Trump's threats to sic the U.S. military on the 'enemy within', this attack on actual U.S. citizens carries a different weight.
Let's hope that their fellow citizens see it the same way and vote against naked racism and for Harris-Walz.
I can only hope that the timing of this particular event, being the week before the election, will keep it fresher in voter’s minds as they go to the polls.
This is what I’m thinking as well. And, honestly: when was the the mask ON? Maga has always been a racist movement, from its days as the tea party and earlier.
Maybe. Check this out: https://www.hispanicfederation.org/our-work/civicengagement/national-poll-on-latino-voter-sentiment-in-the-2024-election-crosstabs-on-swing-states/
Click on the Latin Voter Sentiment by Battleground States link. Top lines are fascinating.
Most Hispanics are Catholic and I believe the abortion issue keeps them in Felonious T’s camp.
Which is ironic because I’m sure the 🍊💩 has paid for many of them in his lecherous lifetime. Let alone the fact that he is farthest from “godly” of any person on the planet, including Putin. It’s mind boggling.
