"Garbagegate" is emblematic of the left's hypocrisy, and how they vaunt the brown-skinned people they don't even know over their own friends and family as some twisted moral badge of honor.
Take the guy who posted that Madison Square Garden should be sprayed with disinfectant, implying that the people there are, well, trash.
Take the old friend who cast me asunder for merely posting about how Harris' nonsensical vapid speech is heavily edited by CBS, and that Musk's rocket catcher is an amazing feat.
Add to this the friend who refused to live anywhere near a black neighborhood, calling me a racist for pointing out that they shamelessly litter. How would I know? I live in a black neighborhood.
Is it "racist" to observe reality? That's what is most contemptuous about these people. Surely they know that this is true, but they are such moral narcissists, they would prefer conflict to acknowledging reality.
"Is it "racist" to observe reality?".........yeah, have often thought much the same....apparently reality is structurally, inherently racist, who knew?
Outstanding article Brad. This story is huge, on so many levels, but the absolute highest level is that the sitting Democratic president said out loud for all to hear what he thinks, and what they all think, what we all know they think, of Trump supporters. As Brad has covered so well here, how the WH and news media have scrambled to alter the display of this inconvenient truth is comical and only deepens American’s (note the apostrophe) understanding of this reality. And Trump coming out the very same day with his safety vest and garbage truck is genius. The way he has run this campaign, bs the way the Dems have (Trump runs his campaign, Harris does what she is told) he so deserves to win
Whenever KA is.asked a question, she simply talks about DJT or lies I just don't know why there are people still falling for her blatant lies. I hate to think these people are really just stupid. But . . .
Here's how it plays out. Trump will likely to appear to win on election night, but democrats will refuse to certify until all votes are print.., er counted. Lawfare back and forth for a month and media will turn up the "fascist" vitriol. On November 26th Judge Merchan sentences Trump to jail, all Hell breaks loose, martial law is declared, lots of people killed.
Like a soccer game of American seven-year-olds with all players mobbing the ball up and down the field, American media is now mobbing around what an INSULT COMIC said. An INSULT COMIC.
Disingenuous pearl-clutching ensues, including by the sitting President, who, either in an eye-for-an-eye riposte or a Freudian slip of honesty, returned the favor in kind.
The pearl-clutchers ignore the INSULT COMIC part, and make far-fetched apostrophic excuses for the President when it would be a lot easier to say: He's an old man who’s losing it, give him a break.
Let's admit it, both sides view voters on the other side as deplorable or fascists or socialists or communists or racists or baby-killers or bigots or woke wingnuts or whatever. We've been trained to demonize.
I'm old enough to remember the good old days of the 60s when nobody cared what your politics were, they were just your neighbors, and citizens voted for their choice and then got on with life. (Before you start, yes, the 60s had problems too—no era is idyllic.)
For the independent voters, who are effectively the swing state, it’s a matter of choosing the least poisonous candidate. The establishment media will howl, shriek & gnash their polished dentures. Most news is digested from the internet now. Legacy media will reorganize & layoff most of their over priced talking heads soon. Television sets with become a way of watch entertainment & not news after this election cycle.
So there is a vast difference between referring to a place as a s&*#hole or a floating g island of trash and people as garbage, deplorable, clingy, fascists . . . .
Only in the corporate media is something an insult comic said treated like sworn testimony to be held against him while anything the president says on the record is treated like it's as open to interpretation as an old poem. I find the pearl clutching on both sides idiotic, I don't know why people on the right always want to play along in this stupid fake outrage game. Have some principles. Nobody cares about what Joe Biden says anyways.

What trash.

Every Dem idea (trans men are women, defund the police, green new deal) screams that they are waging a war against reality.

The comment was hardly a fluke; the left has nothing to bring to the table except personal attacks.
all my years on this earth and I never knew it was possible to hear an apostrophe.
Whenever KA is.asked a question, she simply talks about DJT or lies I just don't know why there are people still falling for her blatant lies. I hate to think these people are really just stupid. But . . .
As I often said about Trump's victory over Hillary: "He didn't deserve to win, but she deserved to lose."

Except for the lots of people killed part, very plausible.
Yes, I'm probably in denial.

First sentence says it all 😭
The MSG rally was a crossing of the Rubicon. its no longer just Trump who is evil and needs to be "eliminated." Its his supporters too.

Great piece

PR has a huge garbage problem. Overflowing landfills. Behind every offensive joke is an element of truth
That is my understanding as well. But that is not the same as saying Puerto Ricans are themselves garbage.
Yeah exactly. I think you’re referring to Biden’s response? What a moron
Yes. Harris too.

He can't help it, he's old.
