Over the weekend, Donald Trump conducted a rally before 20,000 cultists at Madison Square Garden. It all started when a comedian called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." He went on to joke about "carving a watermelon" after seeing a black person in the audience. He also claimed that "Latinos love making babies too, just know that — they don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country."
Now I suppose this can be dismissed as humor. Except that other speaker who are hardly known for humor piled on with racism, sexism and outright hate.
Private equity darling Grant Cardone said this of Kamala Harris: "Her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country." Ha. Ha.
Trump advisor Stephen Miller: "America is for Americans and Americans only." Hilarious.
Putin apologist Tucker Carlson: “It’s going to be pretty hard to look at us and say ‘You know what? Kamala Harris, she got 85 million votes because she’s so impressive as the first Samoan-Malaysian, low I.Q., former California prosecutor ever to be elected president." I'm rolling on the floor.
Here's what I'll say about Trump,. and this is no joke. He is a fascist.
Trump is one sick sonuvabitch that should have been neutered as a teen so he wouldn't be able to pass his racist genes onto another generation. This guy scares the hell out of me and I can't believe he is still in the race. What is happening to our voters when they can even consider a fascist pig like Trump. Is this the best our party can put up against a candidate that should have been easy to beat for President. I voted for her only because I couldn't live with myself by voting for SICK DONALD.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...go get your blankie and hot chocolate and take a nap in your safe space, snowflake.
DeleteThen you can feel responsibility in the outcome.
DeleteBoy are the democrats jealous all they can do is call names and lie .
ReplyDeleteProject much? Lol!
DeleteIt's time to make Puerto Rico a state!
ReplyDeleteYou have no sense of humor. Jokes are so censored today for you poor progressives. Old Don Rickles would be scorned if he was alive today. The same for many of your friends. Lighten up Francis.
ReplyDeleteThat rhetoric perpetuals violence against brown people. Perhaps if Tony Hinchcliff would have made a joke about dead American soldiers, you'd sing a different tune.
DeleteMy fault, Trump already made that joke.
You're a hypocrite.
4:32, Like I said in my post, I was not terribly offended by the comic, although it was incredibly stupid for the campaign to bring in a roast comic to insult the very people Trump is trying to woo. It was the other people who are not comics and their disgusting remarks. I do not watch Trump rallies since the summer but went back and found this one after a Trump supporter commented yesterday. It was thoroughly disgusting and full of hate aimed at migrants (even legal migrants) and Americans who refuse to drink the kool-aid.
DeleteAs a voter, the job at hand is to choose between 2 people. God isn’t one of the choices, so it’s like this . . . .
ReplyDeleteDetermine which of these 2 people is BEST ABLE and MOST LIKELY to fix the serious problems our government has unwisely created for our nation and its citizens. To do that job based on prior preparation, proven experience, wisdom, courage and efficiency of operation. The tasks at hand are much too big for on-the-job training.
We have 2 people to consider. Choose smartly.
I have and voted for Harris otherwise our democracy is doomed
DeleteThank you for voting, 9:37. I will vote in person on Election Day. My vote will be for Trump.
DeleteThe left is the threat. Democracy was not doomed under Trump before. It thrived
DeleteVoted for Harris, because my job is more stable now than it was under Trump's policy. Trump economic plan is Trickle Up to the rich. Yes, Democracy matters, too. I like clean drinking water. His effort to abandon the Clean Water Act should trouble everyone. Exploiting the environment for short term gains has long term consequences.
DeleteRelax Bernie. You guys got this one in the bag. Trump messed with the one thing that American women hold most sacred; terminating the lives of their own developing unborn children. This act alone will propel Harris to the Presidency, and the 24 million living American women who have condemned their offspring to a red biohazard bag will rejoice.
ReplyDeleteYessir. Should have steered clear of the infanticide machine.
Hell hath no furry like a threatened aborter.
I am pretty damn sure there is not woman in the world who wakes up one morning and says "oh goodie I'm gonna have an abortion today". Women do not want to get abortions, sometimes they have to, and remember she did not get pregnant by herself.
DeleteMost abortions are due to no birth control. This issue wouldn't be an issue if people were responsible. As for rapes etc no one has any issue with that
DeleteBernie, are you now just a relayer of DNC talking points. I watched most of this rally, I suspect you did not.
ReplyDeleteIf you watched the rally as you say you did, and did not think or say to yourself, this probably isn't going to help our cause, you are either very gullible or harbor some dark feelings towards other Americans who may not look like you. Neither would be a badge of honor for most people, but you do you.
DeleteNo Bernie he will be President of the United States in 6 days. The people of our country had enough of you democrats you are very poor leaders your policies suck and all you are good for is name calling and are so good at telling lies that you probably believe your own lies. Many Democrats are the enemy within our country and when Trump deports illegals He should deport people like you.
ReplyDeleteYou, too, are the definition of a fascist.
DeleteTrump is toxic. He has infected the GOP. He has infected his followers. Too much anger and negativity and Hulk Hogan energy. They insult, they divide, they denigrate... it's pathetic and exhausting.
ReplyDeleteFor those who will inevitably respond, "No, Trump didn't say bad things! He's a good man." Remember that the Madison Square Garden event began with a scene from the 1970 biopic “Patton” on the jumbotron. George C. Scott, playing the legendary World War II general, growled, of the Nazis, “We’re not just going to shoot the bastards. We’re going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks.” This is a political message? Is this unifying?
Next week we'll move past this era. Vote blue for goodness sake.
Trump is not a fascist he is far from a fascist--you democrats are the fascist you tried everything possible to get Trump and as in typical democratic form you FAILED You people Go against the constitution in many ways and try to rule in a fascist manner. On top of all of that you people lie like there is no tomorrow. But the most important fact is your policies are total failures in all aspects.
ReplyDeleteHere we have another poorly educated trilobite that doesn't know the definition of fascism. Conservatives have certainly won at keep their constituents uneducated...
DeleteTrump said last night at another rally that he is not a Nazi and is in fact the opposite of a Nazi. Let me check my notes here, the opposite of a Nazi is a... Communist? Wait a minute that can't be right... Trump has confused me.
DeleteCope. Cope hard.
ReplyDeleteLot of people throwing around the word fascist who don't have a damn clue what it means. This blog, still operational, proves he's nat a fascist, or you would have been shut down already for being a loser amd falling off your bike monthly.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you google the word fascism and come back to us...fml
DeleteGet bent boosted vaxtard
DeleteHarris wants to do away with the filibuster and pack the Supreme Court so she can force feed half the country her California socialist values. She calls anyone who doesn’t support her a racist and a Nazi. So who’s the fascist? Not a big fan of Trump but she’s the most left wing candidate since Dukakis. I’ll skip voting before I vote for her.
ReplyDeleteCalling someone a racist and a Nazi is not facist, its name calling and fear mongering, but not facist. For what its worth - racists and Nazis are actually proudly facist.
DeleteNot that Dems aren't sleeping with their own various bed bugs, but the GOP and its Trump voters are ABSOLUTELY between the sheets with racists, supremacists, skinheads and Nazis. If you're cool and comfortable with it because you like his policies, thats on you and will probably need to settle that bill in the afterlife with your maker.
You democrats know it is over Trump will be our next President Thank the Lord Harris is a left-wing radial lunatic from San Fransisco California She would totally destroyed this country after what was left after the idiot Biden
ReplyDeleteTrump has always been a low life loser. He bankrupt small business owners by not paying for their services. They had to sell their homes and declare bankruptcy for that dead beat pile of shit. As a small business owner I would never support him. He is a rapist and treats women like his property because, as he believes, they let you do it as a star. As a woman I would never support him. He called the military suckers and losers and as a military family member I would never support him. As a family member of several LQBTQ people I would never support him. As a professional in education I would never support him.
ReplyDeleteThe only people who support him are old, white, ornery, angry, men. And they all look alike too. You can pick them out in any crowd. They are white, bloated, angry looking men with a certain arrogance that is unmistakable. Sometimes they have a stupid hat or sunglasses or a goatee or stupid looking beard. And sometimes they fly the American flag as if it's their very own little security blanky that represents their scared lil' thoughts that they are losing their whiteness.
It truly is a phenomenon that white men are devolving back to their knuckle dragging Neanderthal ancestors.
Kamala 2024! We are NOT going back!
I just don't have the time today to read and comprehend your use of the term "fascist", due to the fact that I will have to get in line early with thousands of "Nazis" , white supremacists, Christians, Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and non-readers of OHare's hate filled blog to support the next President of The United States of America, #47, Donald John Trump; and His Pirate Ship of Real Americans: RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, et. al.
ReplyDeleteFuck off, OHare, as your expletive prone comrades would proclaim.....
FYI - Elon Musk isnt a Real American. He's an immigrant. Also; owned by Putin.
DeleteYou know Elon is a dirty foreigner, right? He doesn't even sound like us Real Americans!
DeleteFascist! Communist! Fascist! Communist! Fascist! Communist!
ReplyDeleteEtc, etc, etc. Can't wait until this is over and each tribe's limited vocabulary, mid-wit opponents shut the hell up for another four years. Then, we can have a fight over who was cheated. 70 years of this meaningless nonsense.
The Democrats are the party of hate the Republicans are the party to make America great again There is only one way to vote. and it is not the hate party.
ReplyDeleteDonald will lose and finally go away. His crazy far right supporters will finally go away.
ReplyDeleteWill this extreme case of Trump Derangement Syndrome lead Mr. O'Hare to publish his progressive shitshow even on this final weekend (Saturday/Sunday)??? Time will tell....
ReplyDeleteI wonder.....if Harris wins. What will the Democrats hate next? Who will they bash and go after every day if Trump is no longer in play? Where will all that hate and attacking go?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... 8:02. Whataboutism in its crystallized form. I'll take the bait though, because you're so very wrong. Who has Biden hated as President? Who has he denigrated and disrespected from behind the lecturn? No one, 8:02. Only the GOP acts like this. Using language like "jew-hating" and racist taunts like Tucker Carlson does is what MAGA is. The GOP is dragging the nation down. Trump said America is "like the garbage can of the world" in just the last few days. He is the hater in chief. It's gotta stop. It's awful.
DeleteI was not speaking of Biden. I was speaking about the press and the negative trump haters
DeleteI seem to recall that Biden had unkind words for those of us unwilling to take the covid shot, going as far as blaming us for the spread of covid.
DeleteIf senile Biden is so great, why was he forced out of the race? Oh, that's right- he hates nobody, but his DOJ only tries to imprison its political enemies-!
DeleteHe locked up his political opponents- ask Steve Bannon who was released today.
DeletePeter Navaro was releasedfrom prison in July, for doing the same Eric Holder did.
DeleteBernie, You are no better than CNN and MSNBC at this point. Once a liberal uses a word that ends in ist or phobe they have lost the conversation. This tactic has been used so much that people don't listen to you anymore when you do it. Next you will tell us Trump colluded with a foreign country to get elected. Oh wait.....
ReplyDelete8:04: Funny to see you commenting on Bernie's blog, saying that "people don't listen." You obviously listened. He's telling you his thoughts, but he knows (people like) you won't be persuaded. You are brainwashed. (Is Fox News on in the background right now? I bet it is.) Bernie is doing his civic duty, promoting a candidate who is a unifier, as opposed to the alternative -- a leader of derangement, racism, sexism, anger, division and national decline.
DeleteI need comic relief in the morning and I don't watch Fox news. I read the New York Times and listen to the Democrat mayor of New York City. Receipts below. Lastly, Is unifying faking an accent depending on which audience you have? Enjoy the videos

Bernie it is time you face up to the facts the democrats do not have good policies look what they did to our country from Afghanistan to the hurricane and everything in between -inflation, energy, the border. crime, especially by illegals, foreign affairs what a mess Boy dop we need Trump back in the White House
ReplyDeleteTampon Tom is a communist. Trump is a Nazi. It’s a wash I guess lol.
ReplyDelete6:49. This blog hasn't been shut down bc Trump is not in power right now. If you think he and his cronies won't try to get that kind of power if they get into the White House again, you haven't been listening to the words coming out of his mouth.
ReplyDeleteyes. we all know Bernie's blog was famously silent from '17-21...
DeleteExcept for lies, hate, conspiracy theories, racism, bigotry and even more lies and conspiracy theories, what exactly does Trump have to offer?
ReplyDeleteTrump appeals to the lowest common denominator of uneducated worthless gullible pathetic lowlife unemployed basement dwelling tools many of whom didn't get past the 10th grade.
ReplyDeleteYour response says it all
DeleteIs Elon Musk "uneducated worthless gullible pathetic lowlife unemployed basement dwelling tools many of whom didn't get past the 10th grade" Your words not mine
Deletedespicable!
DeleteIs this Jeff Warren? Sounds like you
DeleteHmmm. The comedian claims he has performed in Puerto Rico several times and has told the same ‘joke’ to residents there to laughter and applause!
ReplyDeleteYou see, this ‘joke’ is a dig at the GOVERNMENT of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico for failing to ever clean-up properly after recent hurricane activity! Evidently, the beaches and streets there really ARE floating in leftover garbage and trash. The locals are fed-up by the whole thing and are embarrassed for their island being so neglected.
I can believe this. Can any frequent travelers back and forth confirm?
So the people should sit back and wait for the gubmint to pick up their trash? Sounds pretty liberal to expect the gubmint to save you from yourself.
Delete9:04 --> This comment should get an award... LV Ramblings' Most Pathetic Comment of October. The dude went up on stage behind a Trump/Vance lecturn and denigrated the island, its leaders and its people -- all Puerto Ricans. The Trump campaign is trying to distance itself from the "joke". Rick Scott in Florida is as well. The head of the Puerto Rican GOP has asked Trump for an apology. Don't try to reframe, like JAN6 was a "day of love". Gimme a break.
DeleteOne comedians joke. Give it up
DeleteSo Tulsi Gabbard, Dr. Phil, Elon Musk, JFK Jr. and half of America are all fascists? The DNC must be subsidizing your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhy won't so many of the major left-leaning newspapers endorse Harris? It's more than just Bezos, who's already ridiculously rich, despite WaPo losing bags of money each year. Why won't the others endorse her? Is it because she was anointed behind the scenes of a party coup after so many voted to nominate Biden? What is wrong with her candidacy that's made so many newspapers recoil? I suspect Mark Kelly or Josh Shapiro would be wiping the floor with Trump - a convicted felon and alleged insurrectionist - who now looks like he may win. How can they not endorse the opponent of a guy like this? What's going on?
ReplyDeleteHer choice of Waltz tells me a lot about her decision making- she's in over her head. She's the only candidate who is more inauthentic than Killary!
DeleteLots of interesting polling came out yesterday from the midwest and south which should concern Trump and GOP. He is still projected to win many of his safe states like TX, LA, AR, KS, etc., but the percentages in his favor there are significantly down from 2020 levels, which themselves were down from 2016. He is getting demolished by moderates and independents breaking towards Harris. The spate of polling the last few weeks showing 50/50 splits were meant to keep both bases motivated and stimulate turn out. GOP didn't want people to see Trump down 5 points and quit caring, Dems want to stoke fear, drive turnout and carry a lot of down ticket races to try and protect the senate and potentially retake the house. Just like 2018, 2020, 2022 and many other special elections in between, MAGA and GOP are probably going to be very disappointed in the results next week.
ReplyDeleteIf you are correct the whole country will be disappointed in a year or two. Watch what you hope for. Walz wants AOC in a big position. They want millions of immigrants to come. They want to tax us and spend up the debt . God help us all if you're correct
DeleteBesides, Puerto Rico is floating in garbage. Just read the news: https://welikepr.com/what-does-puerto-rico-do-with-its-trash/ You don't need a shock comedian who specializes in insult routines to tell you.
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t it get exhausting to keep making excuses for the Trump campaign? I appreciate your effort to present a nuanced perspective with arguments like, “But this is what he really meant.” However, it often feels like you’re stretching to defend his mistakes. The voters are not stupid, and Puerto Ricans are the last people you want to piss off. Have fun.
Delete10:31-- This is pathetic, Mr. Cowen. Don't try to defend the stand-up bit. It was horrible. Trump is already back-pedaling this morning. If PR does have issues, all the more reason for the US to offer additional expertise and resources, as VP Harris has proposed.
DeleteHey Josh Cowen: This says it all and then some.
Deletehttps://www.instagram.com/reel/DBrMreNPkQ2/
They truly have a trash problem what about that doesn't anyone get.
DeleteAttacking the Orange Menace makes people empathize with him. Likening Trumpkins to Nazis repulses people to the point where they reject the Democrat message out of disgust. One side says make America Great Again and the opposition says Make America not Trump Again. VP Harris is in the White House but is behaving like the opposition instead of the party at the controls.
ReplyDeleteGoing into this there were supporters firmly planted on both sides and then a middle to be swayed. That middle is getting bombarded with smug hatred for Orange Hitler and it turns away those in the middle who are the key demographics.
It used to be that the Orange Meanie was the one launching verbal attacks and that turned people off. It was the reason many applauded his getting kicked off of the socials. But now those same people who proclaimed Orange Man Bad for sending mean tweets are doing that and worse.
You broke it. Now you pay for it.
How dare you deny that Trump is a living god, truly the second coming of our Lord?
ReplyDeleteAmazing that you have a popular blog Bernie. Half the commenters are seemingly incapable of reading the quotes you shared.
ReplyDeleteThe MSG rally was heartbreaking to watch. The hateful vitriol, lies, and blatant racist jokes were inexcusable and hurtful. People, claiming to be Christian and otherwise cheering it all on. Would a good parent want their children to hear this and emulate these people? BTW, anyone born in Puerto Rico is a natural born US citizen.
ReplyDeleteHarris anyone who votes for her are deranged She never did anything good and never will send her back to California where she belongs.
ReplyDeleteIn 1 week whether or not we like the results, we will have elected a new President of the United States. God help us all!
ReplyDeleteThe Republican Party gets lots of funding from the Chamber of Commerce for its candidates. Best thing now is to boycott businesses that belong to the Chamber Of Commerce.
ReplyDeleteJon Stewart is defending the comedian. Pretty stupid to have a roast comedian at a campaign event though.
ReplyDeleteUSA Today not endorsing Harris. Wow. Everyone is staying away from her I wonder why?
ReplyDeletePuerto Rico Republican chair Angel M Cintrón has demanded that Trump apologize for his rally’s racist remarks. Fat chance. Trump has never apologized for anything in his life.
ReplyDeleteBesides, Trump could have done that during his speech at the rally. He didn't. He won't. He fully agrees with this insult to Puerto Ricans.
So this is the campaign of Joys closing argument. Not how I’m going to secure the border and bring grocery and housing costs down. It’s Trump and his followers are Nazis and he’s a fascist. Wow so joyful lol.
ReplyDeleteHow bad of a candidate is this Harris? She’s tied with Trump! LOL. Imagine if she was running against a real candidate.
ReplyDeleteGreat crowd in Allentown what kind of Joyful spin will you democrats
ReplyDeleteTrump supporters have tainted our country. You are uneducated morons who have no idea that the immigrants were the reason our country's economy bounced back from Covid.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea the effect of sending 2 million undocumented immigrants back will have on our economy.
You have no idea how tariffs work. It will be devastating to our economy.
All you have to cling to are the lies you've been fed by the cultists. Why? Because you're sooooo f-ing stupid!
It must be hard for you to be so superior to everyone else
DeleteI can't wait for this election to be over- for the last 10 years, it's been Trump, Trump, Trump 24/7.
ReplyDeleteYou appear to have sold your soul, Bernie. The Dems are the party of hate. I don’t do hate. Sorry you do, Bernie. No respect here.
ReplyDeleteBREAKING: Puerto Rico's Shadow U.S. Senator Zoraida Buxo will endorse Trump at his rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania. That’s gotta hurt, Bernie. Lol. Hear that? It’s the Trump train rolling in!!
ReplyDeleteIf the best you can do is a "Pick-me" Puerto Rican shadow senator, who is not sworn in, seated in congress and holds no real political power, then you can have her.
DeleteIt has been recently paraphrased "tell me who you are with and I will tell you who you are."
ReplyDeleteIs it true Bernie that you are in Allentown tonight?
ReplyDeleteSo Harry Lutnick, Steve Witkof, Sid Rosenberg, Harry O, etc. are all supporting a fascist?!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're out of ideas, you call your opponent Hitler! What happened to the campaign of Joy?
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the crowds they gather to cheer Trump, I’m not thinking many would gain membership in MENSA. Birds of a feather comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteYou ever deal with the Democrat base any city. Lol.
Deletehttps://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1851388153703153854
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure, with a week to go until the election, Democrats buoyed by their media lapdogs would produce a major October surprise.
ReplyDeleteI figured they’d find a woman with a claim that in 4th grade, Donald Trump pulled her pigtails and called her poopy face. Something along those lines.
Or maybe someone who claimed that he failed to put a toilet seat down once in 1986. Big stuff, ya know.
But as it is, he’s only being called a misogynist, sexist, fascist, racist, Nazi, and Hitler.
I’ll call it a toss up.
So Biden called Trump supporters "garbage" today- let's see you report that- Bernie, stop your gaslighting!
ReplyDeleteNothing to report when it's the truth...
Delete2 assassination attempts, and when you can't run on the issues, you call your opponent Hitler. No matter who wins, I can't wait for this nonsense to stop on Nov. 5th.
ReplyDeleteSo Biden just called all trump supporters garbage. Is that how you all feel? Your family friends coworkers etc with different views are garbage? Harris just said trump will ban abortion that is an outright lie. She said trump told armed people to walk to the capitol that is an outright lie .the lies keep coming. I really pray for our country tonight
ReplyDeleteComplicit to racism, bigotry and xenophobia? You got it right, Trump supporters a re literal garbage.
DeleteAbsolutely false BS. But you keep lying to yourself and demeaning fellow citizens
DeleteBiden just called all you Trump supporters GARBAGE. Half the country he just called garbage on CNN. Wow.
ReplyDeleteAnother lie is the commerce saying trump will cut social security. He does not say that. Spending out of control will already make social security cuts in the next 8-10years. Trump doesn't want that to happen. Democrats spending with no plan to save social security is what's made this happen
ReplyDeleteSo the President called Trump supporters "garbage" on a zoom call. So much for the party of joy!
ReplyDeleteSo lets unite the country by calling half of it: garbage, deplorables, clingers, Nazis, Fascists,etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteBe proud of what you are A cultist
DeleteYou Trump supporters are Nazis! Your Deplorables. Now Joe just spoke the truth and called you garbage!
ReplyDeleteyou need help- better call 911!
DeleteIs this you Jeff Warren????
DeleteJoe Biden is a piece of shit
ReplyDeleteAGREE 100%
DeleteThis is how corrupt the media is in this country. They spent the last two days making a warmup comedians bad joke THE LEAD STORY IN THE COUNTRY. Now we have Joe Biden call half the country garbage and the media says there is nothing to see here folks, move along now.
ReplyDeleteproud union worker VOTED for TRUMP
ReplyDeleteTrump better have a path to 270 electoral votes without Pennsylvania.
ReplyDeleteThat wonderful shinning city in our southeast corner of the state, with its blown out neighborhoods, failing schools, rampant drugs and crime, gun violence and gang activity is spotting her a half million votes before polls open.
Imagine. Pennsylvania on a national level is dictated by a Philadelphia voting bloc.
Now that’s something we can all be proud of.
Didn’t Trump say the same thing ? About her supporters? Pretty sure he did
ReplyDelete
