Joe acknowledged the mistakes he made 33 years ago and made up for it by elevating Kamala... because you know what happens after years of women (and especially women of color) needing to be twice a good to get only get half the credit? THEY ACTUALLY BECOME TWICE AS GOOD!! ...and hope my little rant here proves that nothing is going to rile up women voters more than layering the c-word onto the already hot topic of taking away our reproductive rights. Going to go take a deep breath now...
It's not as if the campaign organisers didn't know what Hinchcliffe was like - plenty of videos of him on Youtube.
Which leads me to ask - when did "roasts" become a thing in the US? I'm not aware that they happen in any other country - picking on someone with cruel jibes and saying it's "funny." Most of the time it's just bullying. And the victim has to grin and bear it - like initiations at high school.
That crack about Puerto Rico was just the miniature version of Trump calling America a garbage can, to which he marveled, “I just came up with that!”, sheer genius. The outrage over this will last overnight. When you’re a Trumplican, they let you do it.
Does it strike anybody else as interesting that the Republican machine has refrained from attacking Michelle Obama and that they have somehow restrained Trump from attacking her on Truth Social? She is a very popular figure with women especially, but I think it is more than that. They are trying their darndest to keep a lid on the speech and not have it cross over to all the platforms on which common variety women will hear it. It was a brilliant rhetorical explication of women’s health. I think it will probably cross over anyway.
I hate that Hinch…replied that TW should change his tampon. Such a crude, ignorant insult to women and girls everywhere. I’ve seen/heard this before and it disgusts me. What is wrong with men like him!!!
Here's my take on the Hinchcliffe "roast"—and it's part thought experiment, part serious advice:
If they wanted a roast, why not have the guy roast Red-state types for being hicks and rednecks and Rambo-wannabe gun nuts? It would've been a chance to avoid the kerfuffle they're in now, *and* to demonstrate that unlike *some* people, MAGAs have a sense of humor. Because that's what they're all claiming today... right?
Like I said, I'm being serious. This isn't just a sly, "Modest Proposal"-style suggestion that I'm putting out there to make a point. I think it would've been a good idea, at least as a broad appeal to the country at large.
At the same time, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when any MAGA folk read that suggestion. Would they really say "Heck yeah? Bring it? Unlike all you snowflakes, we can take a joke?" Somehow I doubt it. Somehow I think their first reaction (before possibly realizing their strategic error) would be to get indignant at me for encouraging the bashing of "Real Americans," who in their narrative are constantly disrespected as it is.
And that would tell you all you need to know. When the target is Blacks and Puerto Ricans, it's "just a joke." When the target is *their* kind of people, it's more hate from the Globalist Elites, which (we'll be told once again) is How We Got Trump.
If the MAGApublican clowns/cultists are so happy with The Donald's ways and means, then why are they always yelling and have a pissed off look on their faces? Just askin'.
Need a weatherman? Here is The Donald's approach and what Project 2025 would do to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) which includes the National Weather Service:
If an idiot like Hinchcliffe can be considered a successful comedian and podcaster than I'm a champion athlete because I was on the YMCA swim team one summer. The GOP has become a playground for losers, racists, and bullies. Why would anyone want to associate themselves with such a vile organization?
Tony Hinchcliffe, doing god's work to drive people to Harris. I'm sure he'd denounce "cancel culture" up and down but I prefer to call it capitalism. If people don't like what you're selling they're going to go elsewhere.
CALL FOR PHONEBANKERS: Please sign up for some shifts to support the Harris/Walz campaign this week. We don't want to just win, we want to CRUSH. Now, right now, is the time to be driving votes.
I've done a ton of phonebanking and will phonebank every day this week. For those intimidated by the idea, know how amazing it feels to be locking in those Kamala votes, and it's not persuasion, it's only driving people to vote.
Here's a breakdown of most conversations: “Hi, I’m Sarah, I’m a volunteer for the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign and I’m calling to see if they can count on your support and if I can hook you up with some helpful voting information, like where your nearest polling place is.”
If Harris voter (and many many are), it’s immediate good vibes, then you tell them the campaign is encouraging them to vote early, you can send them a text right through the software that shows them their nearest polling place. Then you close by encouraging them to get all their pro-Harris friends/family/neighbors/coworkers out to vote early.
There ARE lots of hang ups and some grumpy people cuz they’ve been called endlessly. There ARE some Trump supporters but you’re not trying to convince them, you just say thanks and end the call. There are some people who say they’re not voting and you get to encourage them to vote. We've got this Team, LFG!!!!
I wish he would've - but hating anyone not wieght is disgusting enough.
We are all screwed if Trump gets in. What is the secret he is alluding to with Mike Johnson?
Between this and the Puerto Rico comment, I'd like to thank the Trump campaign for handing the great state of PA to President Harris.
Same old, same old...Sharing Anita Hill's essay from NYT today recalling events from 33 years ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/28/opinion/kamala-harris-dignity.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Vk4.Cq13.643vJzrQg5Tx&smid=url-share

Gonna take out my tampon and shove it down your throat, dude. Stop the unfunny from spewing out.

Huh... I had not noticed this but now that you point it out..
Sorry Representativ Salazar, this rhetoric DOES represent GOP values.
You were clearly not paying attention…until yesterday.
Exactly! Where's she been?
I hate that Hinch…replied that TW should change his tampon. Such a crude, ignorant insult to women and girls everywhere. I’ve seen/heard this before and it disgusts me. What is wrong with men like him!!!
Too bad Karma can't give him 7 days of menstrual pain!!!
Karma says he'll feel it in the prostate some day.
If not already... Who knows the state of Trumps health. The Shadow? We do know about his mental state:

'This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values'
I call bullshit
It absolutely does.
I second that emotion, Ira!

They will probably privatize it and give the contract to Musk and his satellite network.

So, when's Trump gonna make a personal announcement in which he denounces the venom spewed by his hired warm up acts?
Oh, yeah, that's right...
Trump hasn't the balls to do so.
