Just an old country lawyer said...: Will they give us full contextual quotes of the "racist remarks and insults," or do we just have to take the NYT's word for it?; 10/27/24, 4:28 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: RFK..... I didn't leave the democrat party the party left me.; 10/27/24, 4:29 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Not as bad as Trump/Biden, but a lot people think Musk has hair, and Miller is not at that level.

Plus years ago Miller was on a media hit where he had a crazy painted on hair style. His known history starts w/ him being an awful Santa Monica kid, and so on.; 10/27/24, 4:29 PM
Sprezzatura said...: IOW, Althouse is feeling love for DJT.; 10/27/24, 4:31 PM

Aggie said...: It looks like seating capacity at MSG is about 20,000. Is it full ? ?; 10/27/24, 4:34 PM
tcrosse said...: I suppose the NYT could mention that Hitler drew big enthusiastic crowds, too.; 10/27/24, 4:35 PM
Aggie said...: I just noticed that RFK Jr. didn't sing and nobody noticed - or even booed !; 10/27/24, 4:35 PM

Achilles said...: Wow. You people are just completely lacking talent as well as intelligence.; 10/27/24, 4:41 PM
Captain BillieBob said...: He is killing it! Another speaker on fire!; 10/27/24, 4:42 PM
Megthered said...: With everyone saying Trump is going to win and enough people hear it they will believe it. The public is voting that way and people can see it. Combine all of this and I think the cheat is not possible.; 10/27/24, 4:44 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Great speech by Tucker; 10/27/24, 4:45 PM
Achilles said...: That is a comedian who roasts people and places for a living.

He is pointing out that places democrats control turn into islands of garbage.

Inga is so stupid she thinks this line of attack will work.; 10/27/24, 4:45 PM
Quayle said...: RFK and Tucker were compelling to me.; 10/27/24, 4:46 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Hulk Hogan is 71; 10/27/24, 4:47 PM
tcrosse said...: Walz compares this rally to a Nazi one the German American Bund threw at MSG in 1939. I find this unpersuasive.; 10/27/24, 4:50 PM
Inga said...: Didn’t Trump just say America was a garbage can?; 10/27/24, 4:51 PM
Steve said...: Best Hype Man since Flavor Flav!; 10/27/24, 4:55 PM

Achilles said...: The parts that are run by democrats sure look that way.; 10/27/24, 4:59 PM
Achilles said...: The number of people democrats have turned against themselves is shocking.; 10/27/24, 5:02 PM
Sprezzatura said...: You were a law prof, if you were a stay at home lady you’d hear that (more or less) five days a week.; 10/27/24, 5:04 PM
Sprezzatura said...: You were a law prof, if you were a stay at home lady you’d hear that (more or less) five days a week.; 10/27/24, 5:04 PM
MadisonMan said...: I would not be able to listen to RFK Jr's voice for 4 years. I've said this before. Bears repeating.; 10/27/24, 5:07 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Did he talk about bending a bare butt teen girl over his lap while he spanks her butt (that is w/in eyeshot of her vulva to hurt her while it’s meant to hurt her?; 10/27/24, 5:09 PM
john mosby said...: As a schoolyard-level retort to the people who deliberately misunderstood Trump’s garbage can remarks at the schoolyard level:

I’m Donald the MAGA Man
I live in a garbage can
Your girls won’t go swimmin
With men dressed as wimmin
Vote Donald the MAGA Man!

Inspired by Matt Groening’s Life in Hell strip, “Kids’ Greatest Hits.”

DINKY DAU 45 said...: Even on the Lord's day the fulness innuendos show the real Christian spirit up in here.Garbage can ? Seems some folks live and think like OSCAR. Sunday vile beautiful. 😞; 10/27/24, 5:26 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: Glad you’re covering it, Althouse, because there’s no way in hell I’m spending hours listening to political speeches, especially on Sunday. I already know I’m going to vote for Trump. I’m hoping for a thorough post-mortem from you.; 10/27/24, 5:28 PM
Mason G said...: "The parts that are run by democrats sure look that way."

Based on pictures I've seen, I'd say those places could use some trash cans. And then maybe, when they're not busy killing unborn babies, democrats could teach their voters how to use them.; 10/27/24, 5:29 PM
Dixcus said...: How is a Nazi building still allowed to stand in New York City?; 10/27/24, 5:29 PM
Dixcus said...: What time does Beyonce's concert start?; 10/27/24, 5:30 PM
Dixcus said...: Nobody of substance cares what the NY Times is doing. We all know they were all in for Adolph Hitler.; 10/27/24, 5:31 PM
Dixcus said...: Yes. The event is sold out. Trump falsely claimed that Beyonce and Willie Nelson were going to give a concert, so all those people showed up to see the free concert.

No, wait ... that was Kamala Harris who did that and got booed out of her own rally.; 10/27/24, 5:32 PM
tommyesq said...: Better than Kamala's overemoting.; 10/27/24, 5:33 PM
Dixcus said...: SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM!

Oh wait, that's a different one.; 10/27/24, 5:33 PM
Dixcus said...: He obviously has some sort of permanent damage in his lungs (likely drug-induced). He can barely speak at all.; 10/27/24, 5:34 PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: Tim Walz Calls Trump Madison Square Garden Attendees Nazis; 10/27/24, 5:40 PM
john mosby said...: Just remember the real purpose of this rally is to show that Trump can mobilize thousands of his followers in the middle of blue strongholds, any time he wants.

The MSG event is not really meant to get more voters. It’s meant to warn the blue city machines away from counterfeiting ballots.

JSM; 10/27/24, 5:40 PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: I'm guessing you are tired of the left's non-stop lies?; 10/27/24, 5:41 PM
Sprezzatura said...: So, you’re already pro-DJT, but your time is best spent doing stuff other than watching the Trump Church Service this Sunday. Therefore you want Athouse to go to church, and then she should tell you that it’s good to believe in DJT.; 10/27/24, 5:41 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: Well, I played music for a Methodist service this morning and for a Catholic service last night, so I probably took care of your Sabbath obligation.; 10/27/24, 5:44 PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: "Never seen a nazi rally with jews, blacks, and hindus as speakers" says someone on X

right? - Well Tampon Tim just called every one there a Nazi.; 10/27/24, 5:45 PM
gspencer said...: Heels-Up couldn't do this.; 10/27/24, 5:50 PM
Joe Bar said...: The pictures of the crowd outside are pretty wild.; 10/27/24, 5:50 PM
BG said...: He has spasmodic dysphonia. There is no cure.; 10/27/24, 5:52 PM
paminwi said...: She tried out her Sunday morning preacher affectation today!
I am curious-truly.
Do black people get annoyed at the speech affectations she uses or it just me?; 10/27/24, 5:55 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: Looks like the speakers are not being censored.; 10/27/24, 6:00 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: Elon is on. Must be getting close to Trump time.; 10/27/24, 6:03 PM
traditionalguy said...: Elon is so amazed he may stay on earth now.; 10/27/24, 6:04 PM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Note for Inga:
Trump was going to be a Nazi in his first term.
But he forgot.
Got it?; 10/27/24, 6:04 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Did you grab or spank any pussies?; 10/27/24, 6:08 PM
Mason G said...: To be honest, I'm not really sure what vibes are but there's no doubt there's not much joy coming from leftists these days. When did the memo go out that that was over?; 10/27/24, 6:12 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: Phone is no good for this. It’s crashed; 10/27/24, 6:13 PM
Rusty said...: Inga
"Didn’t Trump just say America was a garbage can?"
No, he didn't. Try harder.; 10/27/24, 6:14 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: No, but I probably should. I’ve kinda lost my edge at 75.; 10/27/24, 6:15 PM
BUMBLE BEE said...: He's still got the jam. He was doing the DonaldDance.; 10/27/24, 6:16 PM
MadisonMan said...: How does this help? That's what I would like to ask Gov Walz.; 10/27/24, 6:18 PM
Inga said...: Liar, he’s not leading in every swing state.; 10/27/24, 6:20 PM
Mason G said...: Listening to the president is not a requirement. I rarely do, I'm sure I'm not the only one.; 10/27/24, 6:20 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Sprezzo and Inga are melting down completely at this point- a joyous thing to behold. Of course, if Trump does win in 9 days they might kill themselves.; 10/27/24, 6:21 PM
narciso said...: Clean up on aisle 12; 10/27/24, 6:24 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: That’s a lot of tax cuts.; 10/27/24, 6:24 PM
Dixcus said...: From what they say, Trump is going to kill them before they have the chance.

So, I mean ... I can only vote SO HARD.; 10/27/24, 6:28 PM
Mason G said...: See? No joy.; 10/27/24, 6:28 PM
Ann Althouse said...: “ Liar, he’s not leading in every swing state.”

I wondered about that myself, but my instinct was to go to Real Cleae Politics and check the poll average for each of the 7 battleground stares. He is indeed ahead in all of them right now.

Your instinct is not to check but to proclaim him a liar. I don’t get that.; 10/27/24, 6:28 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Real Clear Politics; 10/27/24, 6:30 PM
Dixcus said...: There's definitely a lot of background stares, too.; 10/27/24, 6:31 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: Trump sounds tired.; 10/27/24, 6:32 PM
tcrosse said...: He's been busy.; 10/27/24, 6:34 PM
narciso said...: I dont get that vibe at all; 10/27/24, 6:35 PM
Inga said...: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president.html

No he’s not ahead in all of them.; 10/27/24, 6:39 PM
Inga said...: PA Harris 40, Trump 48
NV Harris 48, Trump 48
WI Harris 49, Trump 48
MI Harris 49, Trump 48
NC Trump 49, Harris 48
GA Trump 49, Harris 48
AZ Trump 49, Harris 48; 10/27/24, 6:46 PM
Jim at said...: No he’s not ahead in all of them.

I'll take RCP over the NY Times, thank you.
And he's up in every one.

Deal with it.
If you can.; 10/27/24, 6:46 PM
Inga said...: I immediately checked the NYTs.; 10/27/24, 6:47 PM
Inga said...: PA, Harris 49, not 40.; 10/27/24, 6:49 PM
Aggie said...: The only treatment for RFKJr's spasmodic dysphonia is the occasional shot of Botox, to relax the vocal cord muscles. It's a temporary improvement, nothing more.; 10/27/24, 6:50 PM
Gospace said...: That's very ecumenical of you. I was baptized Methodist. As the saying goes- I didn't leave the Church- they left me. The United Methodist Church seems to have abandoned Christianity. I really ought search for a new spiritual home. My wife (and children) would like that to be RC, but it won't be. Maybe an Orthodox denomination of some sort.; 10/27/24, 6:50 PM
Darkisland said...: Inga,

My house overlooks the runway at former naval station Roosevelt Roads. I can sit in my yard and watch the planes come in and out. As I did after Hurricane Maria. Pretty much as soon as they could bulldoze the debris off the runway, the next day we have a continuous fleet of USAF planes from C-130s, C5As and everything else that could fly plus US chartered Antonovs (C5A's big brother)

This started before the airfield even had power or was operational. They had to fly in gennys, radar, comm gear and whatnot. There was no delay whatever in getting goods to the island.

It took a week or 2 to get the port reopened but as soon as we did we had 300 gas tanker trucks chartered from a Louisiana company, running around keeping hospitals, critical facilities and eventually gas stations supplied with gas and diesel.

About 3 days after the storm we had hundreds of linemen on the island helping restore electricity. After the port reopened, we had a couple thousand more with hundreds of bucket trucks.

And so on. There was no delay whatever in getting aid. We are an island and it is slower than in the upper 50. A couple days to get a ship from NY to SJ AFTER the port opens and so on.

It was not President Trump who left a million or so bottles of water sitting on a runway at Roosey for 6 months until it was finally discarded. That was our governor. It wasn't President Trump who kept warehouses of emergency food, clothing, bedding and other supplies locked in a warehouse for 3 months until a mob found out about it and took matters in their own hands. That was probably the mayor of Ponce. (Lots of finger pointing so hard to say)

It was not president Trump who left several dozen 40' trailers of emergency supplies rotting in a parking lot for months until they had to be destroyed.

And so on.

We had uncheatable elections for 75 years or so, until this go round. We still managed to get the country's shittiest politicians. Now we have machines, early and absentee voting and thousands of dead voting. I am glad I'll be in Chicago and have an excuse not to take part. But that is another story.

Have you ever been to Puerto Rico, Inga? I suspect you know even less about us than you do about anything else. Pretty close to zero, in other words.; 10/27/24, 6:50 PM
Darkisland said...: Hurricane Hugo, 1989 and Georges, 1998 also hit us pretty hard. President Trump did a much better job supporting us than Bush or Clinton did. Neither visited us then or any other time, either.

John Henry; 10/27/24, 6:54 PM
Sprezzatura said...: You already commented that you only looked at rcp? Why did you make this new repetitious post instead of adding something new after Inga provided a bunch of info?

Repetition is boring. IMHO. Seems like you should delete this useless post you made.; 10/27/24, 6:54 PM
Aggie said...: Trump Harris
Michigan 47.9 47.7 Trump +0.2
Pennsylvania 48.3 47.7 Trump +0.6
Wisconsin 48.2 48.0 Trump +0.2
Arizona 49.2 47.7 Trump +1.5
North Carolina 48.6 47.8 Trump +0.8
Georgia 49.2 46.9 Trump +2.3

Huh. Just look at that, willya. RCP Right Now. Huh. Just look at that.; 10/27/24, 6:54 PM
Gospace said...: It's amazing how quickly some nicknames become so recognizable so quickly. And almost everyone knows why. Even his staunchest supporters know why he's Tampon Tim. Question is- do his supporters really support tampons in boy's restrooms? Except for the truly deranged, I'd venture not. What is it about him they do support?

Oh, wait- abortion on demand up to and including birth. The left is a death cult.; 10/27/24, 6:55 PM
Dixcus said...: Inga, you need to understand that battleground state polls don't matter.

What matters is if Republicans will beat the ever loving crap out of any Democrats who try boarding up the counting room windows this time.

If they do ... then Trump will win. If they don't, then Democrats will steal another election and cause another Civil War.; 10/27/24, 6:55 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: Trump doesn’t say if he voted yet.; 10/27/24, 6:57 PM
Darkisland said...: OT but amusing story about our politicians.

We have a street that is called avenue of the presidents in old San Juan. It has statues of all the US presidents who have visited PR. Except President Trump and President Biden.

PDJT doesn't get one because, well just TDS. Since the statues are arranged in chronological order, they can't put one up for Brandon without putting up one for President Trump. So apparently no further presidents will be honored on the avenue. Some people are pissed that there is no statue of Brandon and think we should just pretend Donald Trump never existed.

As I said, honestly elected in uncheatable elections. Still the country's shittiest politicians.

John Henry; 10/27/24, 6:59 PM
Jimmy said...: I was promised Nazis. very disappointed in MSG. All I got was an african American inventor talking about Mars, some east Indian dude, and a bunch of pro Jew stuff from the crowd. what a let down after Inga, the MSM, and so many others PROMISED me NAZIS. Trump can't even orchestrate a proper Nazi rally. Harris does a much better job.; 10/27/24, 7:00 PM
Inga said...: So it was ok for that guy at the MSG rally to say that PR is “A floating island of garbage”? What is wrong with you?; 10/27/24, 7:04 PM
Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U said...: You leftists hate Christians - so what do you care?; 10/27/24, 7:06 PM
Lem Bive Bandit said...: Trump has a lineup of luminaries not only endorsing him, but campaigning with him. Kamala managed to get Beyoncé to show up at an event with her, but many people left early upset that Beyoncé didn’t even sing.; 10/27/24, 7:06 PM
Shouting Thomas said...: I think returning to the Catholic Church is the best choice for traditional Methodists. I’d like to see the Church welcome them, and take in a few facets of Methodist worship: 1. Take in that entire, great Methodist hymnal. 2. Allow an ongoing conversation between priest and congregation (i.e., like those Joys and Concerns). 3. Nature the development of the post service coffee klatch.; 10/27/24, 7:12 PM
Darkisland said...: I just watched the Tony Hinchcliffe clip. I made it to and a bit past the Puerto Rico bit. Like a stopped clock, even Inga can be right fleetingly. He didn't really single us out, he was insulting a bunch of US cities. But no matter how bad we might be, we are nowhere near San Francisco, Los Angeles, Camden, Philly or other Demmie cities yet.

Still not funny, not necessary and I don't know why he was there.

I'd never heard of him before. He seems like he is trying to be a Don Rickles but with much less talent.

John Henry; 10/27/24, 7:12 PM
Maynard said...: Calm down Inga.

Your hysteria does not have the effect you are hoping for.; 10/27/24, 7:14 PM
Darkisland said...: While watching Hinchcliffe, there was some asshole waving a "Trump will fix it" sign behind him. I wonder if that was a Harris plant?

Calling back to BBC's favorite child molester, Jimmy Savile, is not a good look for anyone.

John Henry; 10/27/24, 7:14 PM
Mason G said...: "Kamala managed to get Beyoncé to show up at an event with her, but many people left early upset that Beyoncé didn’t even sing."

The Free Stuff brigade unhappy they didn't get their free stuff? Who could have possibly seen that coming?; 10/27/24, 7:15 PM
Original Mike said...: "How does this help?"

Well, would you vote for Nazis?
I wouldn't vote for Nazis.; 10/27/24, 7:15 PM
