Tim Walz Compares Trump's MSG Rally Attendees To Nazis: 'Descended Into Madness...'

Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, recently attacked Donald Trump's followers by comparing a planned demonstration at Madison Square Garden to a pro-Nazi event that took place there in 1939. Walz's comments show the Democratic Party's continuous fight against Trump's influence in a politically...

WOW! How dare Walz compare a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to the infamous Nazi rally in 1939. That's totally unfair....

How a joke about Puerto Rico could hurt Donald Trump in Pennsylvania

A joke about Puerto Rico being a 'floating island of garbage' could have long last effects on Donald Trump's campaign in Pennsylvania of all places.

Doing a literal Nazi rally in the same place where a famous pro-Hitler rally took place in 1939, like 7 days before the election. Maybe 48 hours after Trump's longest serving Chief of Staff said, "yeah Donnie's favorite guy was Adolf Hitler".

These people are so fucking stupid it's sort of amazing.

It's as if there were elements of the Republican Party very close to Trump that really want to have Kamala Harris as president of the United States. All I can do is share my appreciation for their effort. We probably could have done it without them, but given the existential nature of this election, I'll take whatever help we can get. Well, maybe not whatever, but nearly whatever. They are certainly going with whatever and we're not interested in going quite that far...

 

[florduh]

I mean, I agree. But let's not kid ourselves here. Kamala is trying to throw this thing as well. Literally everything she's done since picking Walz has been very fucking stupid and has sunk her in the polls.

Running around with the Cheney's. Promoting crypto scams for "young black men" . Saying, "Trump is Orange Hitler... but... Orange Hitler has some good ideas about immigrants poisoning the blood of our Nation".

This has been the most depressing and vile election of my lifetime and that's saying something. My basic feeling after watching this this entire election season:

"it's in THE BIBLE" is so fucking funny. Everything this guy said is 100% factually correct.

 

[cybrguy]

Forgive me if I kid myself instead. I think Kamala is very serious about winning this and I think she's going to...

 

[florduh]

Oh I think she'll probably win too. But the polling is very clear. Once she started running around like a dipshit with Lynn Cheney talking about how she wants to build Trump's wall, her polling dropped from her highs over the Summer, making this "existential" election much closer than it should be. This is just a matter of fact.

 

[cybrguy]

Honestly, I think the only thing clear about the polling is that the polling sucks. We have lost the skill of having reliable polls. A big part of that is because we no longer have landlines in everyone's home but it's also the inability to find truly independent polling. And a large majority of people are annoyed by being asked to respond to polls all the time, especially at crunch time. If only people who are willing or anxious to respond to polling are polled, the numbers start to break down.

 

[florduh]

A big part of that is because we no longer have landlines in everyone's home but it's also the inability to find truly independent polling.

Ok, but neither the number of people on landlines nor polling methodology changed between July and October when her number dipped. Also, polling is the sole reason Democrats decided to adopt Trump's racist 2020 immigration policy as their own.

Washington Post Hemorrhages Subscribers After Harris Snub

In the wake of owner Jeff Bezos’s veto of the Post’s planned Harris endorsement, the paper has reportedly lost more than 200,000 subscribers, per NPR.

I wonder how many of these Liberals also cancelled their Amazon Prime subscriptions. Because this isn't hurting Bezos. Jeff didn't buy WaPo to make money. He bought it to manufacture consent on behalf of the billionaire class.

While the racist piece of shit eventually got thrown off the show, this type of Islamophobic and anti-Arab bile is par for the course on CNN.

Two other observations:

1) Very funny that this Trump surrogate was there to defend the racist MSG Nazi rally....then immediately acts insanely racist on live TV, lol.

2) Also, very funny how shocked and hurt this scumbag looked when he realized the rest of the panel wasn't going to shrug off his little "joke". From 2008-2015, you'd pay a social price for being this racist in public. Time to bring that back.

 

[cybrguy]

This is what we've come to. This kind of racist speech has been normalized. They don't expect to be called on it. And when they are, they figure there's enough people on their side that they are not compelled to take it back, not that taking it back relieves any cost. We are at a point in American history where the plain ugly is backed by a belligerence that would imply complete confidence that the country is truly behind them.

We need to find an effective way to dissuade them of this view. How about we kick their asses on November 5th? All of them...

Laser archeology finds lost Maya cities hidden under forests​

Laser imaging of the rainforests of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula have turned up thousands of ancient Maya structures — and an entire previously unknown city, a new study has found.

By flying aircraft over jungle in the Mexican state of Campeche and pummeling the trees with laser pulses, scientists have shown that beneath the forest lie the ruins of both a dense city and its crowded suburban hinterlands, according to results published on Tuesday in Antiquity.

There are good reasons to want Democrats to win next week. Reducing the ambient level of anti-Muslim racism ain't one of them.

A Biden Admin official felt comfortable making this same exact joke in public a month ago.

Do you get the joke? Our proxy State did a terrorist attack that killed and maimed children. Isn't that a riot

 

[cybrguy]

There are good reasons to want Democrats to win next week. Reducing the ambient level of anti-Muslim racism ain't one of them.

It sure as fuck is. Would you even dream to suggest that that Democratic anti Muslim behavior is even close to the degree or frequency it appears from the Republicans? I know you don't believe that. Why suggest it?
Don't think for a second I'm giving the Democrats a pass for allowing Israel to murder tens of thousands of innocent people. I'm not. At the same time, you're going to get zero support from Republicans if you want to stop the killing. They want to turn Gaza into a vacation destination.

Everything about this election feels like a fever dream.

Kamala has abundant support from women and various other groups, but by some accounts as much as 64% of white males are looking the other way. It's my understanding that 1-2 swing states potentially could refuse to submit electoral votes for Harris, technically that might be enough to throw the election, with no action or vote required from the house of representatives. Whoever gets the majority of certified electoral votes supposedly wins, even if they have less than 270.

I'm gonna vote early. They recently caught a gentleman with definite plans to light up an OKC polling station. Yikes!!

Next week could be one for the history books, assuming they exist.
