Embarrassed to admit I missed this at the time but Donald Trump, the former president and GOP presidential nominee, said of Mark Zuckeberg: "We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison"


A fascist convicted felon Threatening to put someone in prison for the rest of his life. As dictators do.

Probably a favor to Elon.

I have a grandson who is part Puerto Rican. He looks like he is all Puerto Rican.
From everything I've heard Puerto Rico is a beautiful island and the Puerto Rican men are very friendly.

Wish I could speak Spanish so I could visit.

Been to Puerto Rico twice. It IS beautiful, and the food is great too. People are wonderful.

The scary part is the roads. They pay no attention to speed limits or lane markers. A three-lane road is a five-lane road in practice. You have to have balls of steel to drive there. You need to change lanes, you move (signals very optional) and dare them NOT to let you in. I would just think, “Not my problem, it’s a rental”.

My wife went with me one of the times, she was scared to death every time we hit the road. I just pretended I was eighteen again. But it was probably fifteen or twenty years ago.

One more crazy thing - workers there didn’t go to bars after work. They went to convenience stores, and would get beer by the case - Medella, if memory serves, in little 10-ounce cans. They’d just all stand in the parking lot and drink. They’d drink LOTS of tiny cans of beer.

Yeah? And what would that little secret be, DonOld? Coup plot 2.0?

DNC projects message tying Trump to Hitler on Madison Square Garden during rally

The Democratic National Committee is projecting digital messages on Madison Square Garden's exterior during former President Donald Trump's campaign rally on Sunday about recent reports that he once praised Adolf Hitler and his generals and that cast him as unhinged.

"Trump praised Hitler," one of five planned projections from the DNC says, referring to Trump's longest-serving chief-of-staff, four-star Marine Corps. Gen. John Kelly, telling The Atlantic this week that Trump had admirable things to say about the German dictator.

“He’s going to be around for a long time I predict,” Trump says of House Speaker Mike Johnson.


Remember, Roger Stone is on video claiming they have judges in their pockets, and Trump has repeatedly stated he doesn’t need votes.

....They went to convenience stores, and would get beer by the case - Medella, if memory serves, in little 10-ounce cans. They’d just all stand in the parking lot and drink. They’d drink LOTS of tiny cans of beer.

gou, thats because beer gets hot so fast there, the small cans are the perfect size to stay cool at least
while you drink it. when we lived there i enjoyed quite a few heineken in small cans and loved it.
really didnt like the big cans once back on this land mass. they take too long to drink. the bottom is flat.

we had to buy one cold and 5 in the holder...they dont use freezer space for beer, or cans. or beef.
today there may be more 6pak cold sales idk. we got off cow down there, they dont use elec keeping
tons of beef cold either.

Could be, and that does make sense. But they just had the six-packs there and pulled them out of the box. Didn't buy them one at a time. They weren't getting hot, drank them too fast!

I really hope what happened at the MSG Rally last night really rejuvenates our side & the voters come out in full force for Kamala on November 5th & the "pollsters" who have Trump "leading" or says he's going to "win" i hope they have egg on their face & are proven wrong remember 2022 Red Wave! Red Wave! All for nothing but they'll run away like crickets & won't accept accountability.

I understand there are a LOT of Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania.

This rally was racist and hate filled.

And no one on the right will call them out for it. No one will say "this isn't what we're about".

Because deep down, it IS what they're about.

Too late assholes this is on you.

Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage'

A comedian at a Donald Trump rally called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage", sparking fury from Republicans and Democrats and accusations of racism.

The comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, was among the speakers at the Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday. He also made a series of jokes that leant on racist stereotypes.

What is sad, is that there’s NOTHING Trump can do, Nowhere he can go, nothing he can say that will actually get a denouncement from our conservatives. The MOST they’ll do is say “I’m not voting for him”.

Well, then why do they go after what the left says and does? Shouldn’t they just say “I’m not voting for them” and be done with it?

Glenn’s grandson is too young now, but I wonder if someday he’ll ask his grandad why they hate him for who he is, and his grandad will tell him it wasn’t important enough for him to stand up and say it was wrong when it happened.

[gounion]

Well, this will CERTAINLY piss off our conservatives. Trump like it is. https://youtu.be/fMjhl9jxrug?si=qLzQk-DUZiz-LVQi

I guess the show had to play in the Garden before the well-drilled media drones noticed its true content, though it should have been obvious after the Haitians eating the pets thing at the debates.

A bit late.

Those who call this unprecedented don't know American history. Ethnic stereotypes and rhetoric about aliens from other races taking all the jobs are as American as apple pie.

Because deep down, it IS what they're about.

Remember this, the comedian who said Puerto Rico is a "floating island of garbage" and the other speakers were vetted by DonOld Trump's campaign prior to them taking the stage. IOWs, DonOld Trump approved what the speakers were going to say.

[rainwater]

all this bullshit blabber and all he does is slam on other people. no policy no programs nuthin
but personal attacks which is why he had that tv show...to bash other people.
he bashes his followers and they seem to like it.
this contrys in a mental collapse due to this chronic cognitive dissonance.

what a load of shit...

Trump Media shares surge 21% after Trump rally in New York City

Shares of Donald Trump's social media company surged more than 21% Monday, on the heels of the Republican presidential nominee's campaign rally in New York City.

Trump Media stock closed $47.36 per share, eclipsing its recent peak in mid-July, when the company's market value soared after Trump was nearly assassinated at a rally in Pennsylvania.

That is perhaps the most valid point of any I've read in regards to that train wreck.
A guy I went to HS with is a huge Trumper and he was praising the event believing is was a huge success.

Interesting interview with New York Puerto Rican radio host - and what Puerto Ricans have to say about Trump after Sunday. And they have the numbers to make a real difference.

Looks like it's a big October surprise.

Of course, all Trump says is that it was all love on Sunday.

I think what pisses the right off is that they're American citizens, and they can't pull the illegal hate on them.

Puerto Rico’s biggest newspaper endorses Harris

Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día endorsed Vice President Harris on Tuesday amid a commotion over a comedian insulting the island at former President Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.

The endorsement is the paper’s second ever, following the daily’s backing of President Biden ahead of the 2020 election.

Reality check https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/ ... rto-774179

“There is literally a floating pile of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico," Hinchcliffe announced to the stadium, to laughs from the audience.

Those laughs aren't sitting well with the Puerto Ricans all around the U.S. who are born citizens. "If our people are good to serve in the military, die for this county, then why are we still considered not good enough to be treated with respect?" asks Jackeline Sanchez, a chemical engineer who lives full time in Puerto Rico.

"At the moment I do feel safe in the U.S., despite this situation, but the current event, and the fact that Trump might become president again, does make me remember when he was president and I was living in the U.S. at the time. It was a period of time where I did feel unsafe, because I felt that since the president was openly racist, it gave everyone the 'permission' to treat Latinos, and even us Puerto Ricans, which are U.S. citizens, like we are less, like we don't belong," continued Sanchez.

"When I saw the expressions made at the rally by the comedian, I felt upset and hurt, but at the same time, I was not surprised.... If, during Hurricane Maria, the worst time for the island, he threw paper towel rolls at people in need as if it was a joke, I can't ever expect him not to be disrespectful toward us, either directly or through people working for/with him," finished Sanchez.

A Trump spokesperson has since claimed the former president and individuals involved in his bid for the White House do not align with Hinchcliffe's comments.

However, that's done nothing to starve off people's anger. Celebrities of Hispanic descent have endorsed Harris after the comedian's comment. Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny - whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio - told his 45 million followers on Instagram to vote for Harris and said Hinchcliffe as Trump's "racist comedian."

Johmar Sanchez, a 35-year-old Puerto Rican developer living in North Carolina, also felt the sting of a rally applauding Hinchcliffe's racist comments. "As a Puerto Rican living in NC, I felt attacked, very mad as well, knowing that PR is such a beautiful place with warm people."

"Also, thinking on what choice we have if we can't be our own country or at least be treated like any other state. Part of the problem is the people of the U.S. don't even know that we are U.S. citizens, that we pay taxes and that we have the same rights as any other person. So yes, I feel very mad about how this horrible line came from a public meeting, how the Republican party allows this to go out, and how they feel about Puerto Rico," added Sanchez.

Political analysts claim Hinchcliffe's words could push Latino voters over to Harris as the U.S. is home to 900,000 voting Puerto Ricans spread throughout the states, according to Politico. Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that "more than 470,000 people of Puerto Rican descent live in Pennsylvania, 132,000 in North Carolina and 124,000 in Georgia," while tens of thousands live in Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan, adds Politico.

Terrance Smith, 35, Connecticut, tells the Mirror, that he sees it as an opportunity for his diaspora. " I think there is nothing scarier than Puerto Ricans beginning to harness power. I think that right now we're a bit emboldened by this. By the comments, by the quote-unquote jokes… You'd be surprised and how Puerto Ricans are getting organized to really target the upcoming election," begins Terrance in a phone interview.

"You know, there's thousands of us in across different states like Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma. That could be the tipping point in changing the course of some of these swing states. So angry Puerto Ricans are a great thing to have in this kind of election."

Of course, Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico are Americans, with full citizenship. Well, except for one thing.

Their votes don’t count for President.

And I think that’s the way the GOP wants to keep things.

But I guess they forgot there’s millions of Puerto Ricans in America that do. And all they have to do to get that vote is move here. NOTHING the right can do to keep them from doing so.

Though, if Trump is elected I bet he’ll rethink that.

[rainwater]

most puerto ricans know how to go back and forth. they college here then back to the
island to work; dentists docs teachers etc...most spend time on both lands.
so they vote.

jfk sanjuan is like a commuter run. its hilarious.
