Election 2024: Last One Out, Hit The Lights

What did he say?

The truth


j/k. he went 'basket of deplorables'

[tommy]

There's really no way to misinterpret that. Once he's said it he may as well stand by it. The weasely lying is what a lot of people hate most about politicians.

[4/5]

The debate is over whether he said "supporters" or "supporter's."

"And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something. I don't -- I -- I don't know the Puerto Rican that -- that I know -- or a Puerto Rico, where I'm fr- -- in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his (supporters/supporter's) -- his -- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

[tommy]

Jesus, somehow it sounds less coherent when written down.

Supporter's doesn't really make sense in context, but a lot of it doesn't really make sense...

[tree_]

I support that statement. If you're cheering on that kind of rhetoric, you're probably not a very decent person. But it definitely is a politically stupid move right now.

Come on, man. That's malarkey.

Maybe so but it's the official party/media line.

[BurtReynolds]

I lost track of whether it was my turn to pretend to be offended, or laugh at the other side for pretending to be offended. I can't keep up.

[Farmer John]

Yes, he should have just said that it was a joke, and that way no one is allowed to get upset about it.

But it's too late for that. Joe Biden just lost my vote!

[tommy]

Honestly, I'd rather watch a 90 minute set from Joe Biden than Tony Hinchcliff

So many people don't seem to realize we have Yoda running our country. He's not that hard to understand!

You're right, but I think the point is that Harris just gave the biggest speech of her campaign last night to 75k in DC while standing in the very spot where Trump stood on January 6th and the media was still riding the anti-Trump high on the 'garbage island' joke... and now all that has disappeared from the news cycle because they "need" to deal with this instead.

They were always going to move on to something else. Nothing really sticks anymore.

It's hard to imagine all the crazy shit that will happen between now and Tuesday (and then after that it will all be over, right? Right?!)

No, then we start working for Statehood for Puerto Rico!!

Maybe not:

The Nevada Supreme Court ruled Monday the state can count mailed ballots that arrive without a postmark up to three days after Election Day on Nov. 5.

What that means is that in Nevada people can potentially vote after seeing the rest of the country's returns. Unlikely, but the door for fraud is now open and in some states every vote will matter, particularly on down-ballot contests. And you just know MAGA will key in on things like this.

What's the avenue to fraud here? Just the act of mailing your ballot a day late? Who cares?

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His—his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American,"

The second one makes more sense, but with Biden that doesn't really matter.

[BurtReynolds]

I will always love these Machiavellian mastermind Biden memes.
