He also rode in a garbage truck from the plane to the arena:

I trust that Democrats across the country will join with Mr. Trump in support of those who were prevented from voting.; 10/30/24, 6:37 PM
Achilles said...: More like 2/3's.; 10/30/24, 6:39 PM
YoungHegelian said...: Whether Trump wins or loses, there's no doubt he's having one hell of a time on the campaign trail. The Democrats want to quickly and quietly move on past the "garbage gaff", but, nope, Trump rubs their noses in it with another incredible visual when he shows up in the garbage trucks and vest.; 10/30/24, 6:41 PM
Dixcus said...: Boy, Joe Biden really despises Americans, don't he? I guess if you've been deposed as President, the victim of a coup run out of Nancy Pelosi's office with Barack Obama as the funder, and nobody cared ... well, you'd probably think Americans are garbage too.

The thing is, we like being called Deplorables. I have a hat with that word on it to remind everybody just what I am. I'm a Deplorable and Hillary Clinton is a washed up old drunk and won't ever be President.

This is what they don't get. The more they hate us, the more powerful we grow.

Yes, release YOUR ANGER, Democrats.

If you strike us down ... well, I don't want to spoil the ending for you.; 10/30/24, 6:42 PM

Inga said...: Sorry “half” the country aren’t Trump supporters. There are independents and plenty of Republicans that are voting for Harris, according to polls of early voters.; 10/30/24, 6:43 PM
Dixcus said...: Trump is the Master Troll. He knows how to STEAL the remaining news cycles from Kamala Harris.; 10/30/24, 6:43 PM
Enlighten-NewJersey said...: Have you seen the "Trump Garbage Pail Kid"?; 10/30/24, 6:44 PM
Dixcus said...: The Arizona Supreme Court just paved the way for Democrats to steal the election. They ruled that UNPOSTMARKED ballots never sent through the mail can be counted up to 3 days AFTER the election, so that the Democrats know precisely how many FAKE BALLOTS they need to produce in order to win Arizona.

Also, ABC has already called Pennsylvania for Harris. The put up their fake election numbers ... OOPS ... a week early.

Trump knows the elections are fake, so why not have a little fun.; 10/30/24, 6:46 PM
Sprezzatura said...: "I hope you enjoy this garbage truck. Thank you very much."

How can SNL do better?; 10/30/24, 6:47 PM
Inga said...: I suspect very few Democrats care about Biden’s old man gaff. So there is no “rubbing anyone’s noses in it”, it’s not really of any consequence. It’s highly unlikely that anyone changes their Harris vote based on what Biden said, maybe some people will actually vote for Harris based on it. I know you folks want to think it was a negative for the Harris campaign, nope, not so.; 10/30/24, 6:49 PM
pious agnostic said...: Are we arguing about the actual percentage of Americans Biden called garbage?; 10/30/24, 6:49 PM
Gunner said...: Inga, he obviously means half the voting population.; 10/30/24, 6:50 PM
Yancey Ward said...: Poor Inga.; 10/30/24, 6:51 PM
Achilles said...: Of course Democrats don't care about Biden's Gaffe.

They are the type of people that can complain about a comedian calling an Island floating garbage for 2 days non stop and then immediately pretend they don't think it is a big deal.

It is part of being terrible people.; 10/30/24, 6:51 PM
Inga said...: Look at all the happy excited faces at the Harris rally in Madison tonight!; 10/30/24, 6:52 PM
Inga said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 10/30/24, 6:54 PM
Mason G said...: "The Arizona Supreme Court just paved the way for Democrats to steal the election."

On the plus side... in a 6-3 ruling, SCOTUS will allow Virginia to remove non-citizens from its voter rolls. Guess which three justices think non-citizens should be allowed to vote. Careful, now- you only get one.; 10/30/24, 6:54 PM
Inga said...: But a full “half” that voting population will not be voting for Trump. Trump won’t get 50% of the votes.; 10/30/24, 6:55 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Have you folks read Althouse's post? It isn't a gaffe depending on the apostrophe.

In fact Althouse didn't even include the stuff Biden said right before the 'garbage' thing, that gives him even more cover. Even the best interpretation of DJT re "both sides" is that he's supporting people that love keeping up statues that were originally explicitly put up (usually in the sixties, way after the war) to express opposition to equal rights being extended to black folks.

The best Biden interpretation is that he's only talking about Hinchcliffe, which is what Biden is telling you he was telling you.; 10/30/24, 6:58 PM

Narayanan said...: thanks Donnie - great idea for costume tomorrow for office; 10/30/24, 7:06 PM
pious agnostic said...: So, exactly what percentage of the country was Biden calling garbage? 20%? 25%? Is one-third of the country trash, in Biden's opinion?; 10/30/24, 7:06 PM
rehajm said...: WNEP-TV said that the results came up on the screen in “error” and that they had been “randomly generated” as part of a test ahead of the Nov. 5 election

…oh please. Do tell us more about this random number generator for test screens that randomly randomizes Harris as the winner…; 10/30/24, 7:09 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Ach, sorry for you that you had to witness it. The delete machine will vaporize me in this thread. It already got rid of an earlier comment (where I asked why so many of the questioners had foreign accents.). Time is running out for my other words here.; 10/30/24, 7:09 PM
pious agnostic said...: I think two things about this story.

1) They needed to test the system, and their test was accidentally aired.
2) Their test message was a bit of self-soothing in the face of a lot of shaky knees.

If their message had shown Trump the winner, the internal revolt would have been counterproductive.; 10/30/24, 7:11 PM
Jim at said...: I know you folks want to think it was a negative for the Harris campaign, nope, not so.

You really suck at this politics stuff. I mean, you don't have a fucking clue.
Of course is was a negative for her campaign. Witness the press trying to cover it up, take it out of context or completely ignore it.

Sticking your head up your ass and screaming nah, nah, nah is a helluva way to go through life.; 10/30/24, 7:11 PM
Oh Yea said...: Inga, the damage to the Harris campaign is that no one is talking about Kamala's big speech last night. No momentum going into the final week.; 10/30/24, 7:12 PM
Mason G said...: Which of the butt-sniffing MSM outlets will be the first to fact-check Trump's "garbageman" video with a "False! Trump lies! He never worked on a garbage truck"?; 10/30/24, 7:17 PM
Jersey Fled said...: “ Have you folks read Althouse's post? It isn't a gaffe depending on the apostrophe.”

Whether or not it’s a gaff is determined by the listeners, not the speaker.; 10/30/24, 7:17 PM
Mr. Forward said...: Trump rolls into Green Bay with a huge garbage truck and Inga is counting the flies. Who won the day? Again.; 10/30/24, 7:20 PM
Inga said...: Oh Yea… looks like momentum…

“In Michigan, Harris leads Trump 48%-43% among the state's likely voters, while Harris is ahead of the former president 51%-45% in Wisconsin, the polls released Wednesday found. Both leads are outside the surveys' margins of errors. Harris and Trump are tied in Pennsylvania at 48% apiece, a third CNN poll found.”

In an election defined by a historically wide gender gap, the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania polls found Harris faring better among women voters and Trump among male voters. Harris leads Wisconsin's likely women voters 59%-38%, and Trump leads Wisconsin's likely male voters 53%-41, the poll found. In Pennsylvania, Harris leads women voters 49%-46%, while Trump leads male voters 50%-46%.”

Joe Bar said...: Genius. He is the comedian for our time.; 10/30/24, 7:55 PM
Jim at said...: Joe Biden has been sidelined by Kamala Harris in the final days of her campaign, with his description of Donald Trump supporters as "garbage" underscoring her campaign's fears that the outgoing president is an electoral liability.

US media reported earlier this week that Harris's campaign was distancing itself from the incumbent, and that it had politely rejected his suggestions to make more joint appearances on the stump.

But, but I was told his comments were no big deal. Obviously some people know more than the Harris campaign. Too bad they're wasting their vast intellect on a law prof's website.; 10/30/24, 7:56 PM
Maynard said...: Inga stands with the Master Race over us garbage Untermenschen.

She wants Harris to win so that she can work in the Re-Education and Re-Programming camps that Harris will set up for us garbage people.

I will have to be Randall McMurphy to her Nurse Ratched.; 10/30/24, 8:07 PM
John henry said...: Apparently there are "several" Democrat house candidates who have agreed to switch parties if they win.

What do your fancy schmancy polls have to say about that, Inga?

rehajm said...: I’m Batman…; 10/30/24, 8:20 PM
Vance said...: Inga says that "Kamala voters don't think it was a gaffe!"

Well, yeah... we know. We know, Inga, that you despise Americans and think they are garbage Nazi racists who should be rounded up and sent to the camps.

That's kind of the point of Trump: to stand up to you vile cretins who want to kill us. Trump's no saint, but sometimes you need a soldier, warts and all, when it comes time to fight.

Give me Mother Teresa in the confession booth, and give me Patton on the battlefield.; 10/30/24, 8:23 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Oh Yea, keep in mind that she had fifty five, maybe up to seventy five thousand people at that rally, while I think the biggest numbers for DJT's MSG show were twenty or so thousand people. So after DJT has done his part to extend the focus on politicians having supporters that call people 'garbage.' Which keeps the focus on his rally that called people 'garbage' (and talked about black folks liking watermelon, not to mention that they played Dixie, and they highlighted an old man that gets excited about spanking teenage girls.

After that hubbub dies down, the KDH folks will note that she had a way, way more massive final campaign rally than the MSG hate-fest. And DJT will freak out, just as he did when she tricked him into going nuts re crowd size in the debate.; 10/30/24, 8:35 PM

n.n said...: A "burden", a viable "burden", a "burden" that despite Democratic attempts to abort, and sequester the hazardous waste, takes on a life of its own... and the administration is transporting it across state lines.; 10/30/24, 8:43 PM
Skeptical Voter said...: I'm a proud bitter clinger, deplorable and--considering the source-- piece of garbage. Dang me if the Bad Orange Man won't pounce!; 10/30/24, 8:50 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Madison Square Garden only seats 20,000, so if Trump had only "twenty of so thousand people" at his rally it's because it was full. Estimates that another 75,000 who couldn't get in watched it live on television in the many bars in the area are no doubt exaggerated, but there were certainly many who did that. Is Sprezzatura stupid, dishonest, or a bit of each, when he makes comparisons like this one?

I have also seen pictures of the Kamala rally and people commenting that it looked more like 20,000 than 55,000 or 75,000. And didn't Trump have 250,000 at his rally on January 6th, 2021, most of whom never went near the Capitol? That would be the proper comparison.; 10/30/24, 8:55 PM
Butkus51 said...: Kommie is campaigning in Madison.

A democrat paradise.; 10/30/24, 8:57 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Something wrong with the logic here. If I'd been treated as Biden was treated, I probably would think that the people who did that to me were garbage people, but that was done by Pelosi and a few other D.C. insiders - it had nothing to do with the voting public. Calling us garbage is still a nasty, stupid, typically Bidenoid thing to do.; 10/30/24, 8:59 PM
Sprezzatura said...: IMHO, this shot of DJT is not good for him. the frame shows one of the teleprompter screens (and we all know there's another one on the other side of him.). So we can see him reading the text, and then we see him turn from the teleprompters and do some vamping after a lot of lines.

He looks like a total clown because (thanks to this camera frame) it's obvious when he's reading and when he's bullshitting about what he just read. I know we are told that when he does word salad it is super smart,, genius "weaving." What is the euphemism for dopey vamping between teleprompter reading?; 10/30/24, 9:01 PM

walter said...: Yeah. Potent critique....; 10/30/24, 9:11 PM
n.n said...: Democrazis bear a Diversity #Judgment #Labels "burden". What model of fascism, redistributive change scheme, politically congruent cutout, democratic gerrymandering, conflation of logical domains, etcetera do they have to joyously adopt in order to make it go away?; 10/30/24, 9:15 PM
Sprezzatura said...: Doc We, the trap isn't meant for you. We already know that DJT says his attack the capital to stop US democracy rally was bigger than the one that Marty L K Jr. had. So it's funny to see him melt down re the reality that his MSG rally was smaller than KDH had, she was also bigger re his attack the capital to stop US democracy rally.

It's not fun to see you cling to that sorta film flam. I get it that you must say obviously false things to prove loyalty to DJT. That's the whole point of the DJT deal.; 10/30/24, 9:16 PM
My name goes here. said...: Inga said...
"But a full “half” that voting population will not be voting for Trump. Trump won’t get 50% of the votes. "

Inga said...: Oh gosh, I feel bad for Trump. I saw the video of him trying to get in the garbage truck and he almost fell backwards trying to open the door. He did get up the steps though which didn’t look easy for him. His color didn’t look good at all, as if his face was red under all the bronze makeup. I hope someone is looking out for him, take his BP, make sure he’s hydrated, etc.; 10/30/24, 9:36 PM
walter said...: FFS, Sprezzy. Kamala is but a pimple in terms of interfacing with the public. Give it up. Kamalas best bet is to do a kegstand and pull a faux fetus out of her.; 10/30/24, 9:43 PM

Their prices will spike wildly when proglodytes realize he has won.; 10/30/24, 9:44 PM

walter said...: Yeah..he's working non stop to counter your bullshit. That's a lot.; 10/30/24, 9:50 PM
Dr Weevil said...: I'm glad Sprezzatura is not having fun reading my comment. The fact that he can't acknowledge that 20,000 at Madison Square Garden is in fact a full house shows what kind of lying weasel he is.; 10/30/24, 9:52 PM
