Trump’s Shock Comic Was Set to Call Harris a ‘C*nt’

Tony Hinchcliffe’s set at Madison Square Garden wasn’t great for the campaign. It could have been much worse.

Maybe it's because I'm 'Strayan, but I think the routine would have been better received if he dropped the "floating island of garbage" and "carving watermelons" bits and just stuck with calling Harris a cunt instead.

And I mean better received, not well received.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

Watermelon jokes? Really?

But why does the left call them racists? It makes no sense! (sarcasm)

 

[Politesse]

Anyone who is surprised by this hasn't been paying attention to.... anything.

What I took away from this is…. Half million Puerto Ricans in Pensilvania, and 1.2 million in Florida.

How many voted early though?

Apparently Rick Scott knows how many are in Florida.

Puhlease gawd, you owe us! Make this the October surprise that later studies showed cost Trumo the election.

I’m surprised Steven Cheung hasn’t weighed in with at least one “Fuck Puerto Rico.” He’s slipping.

Putting aside the garbage thing, islands do not float!

Well, there have been proposals for floating island communities. A hexagonal hunk of the proper type of concrete 200m across, a lip on the edge extends far enough down to trap a sufficient air volume. By itself you have to avoid the heavy storms, if you have enough of them clustered together you put a barrier around your city and even a category V isn't a big deal. You do have to live with a city that's made up of 200m hexagons, though, with the connections between being somewhat floppy. (The hexes have to be joined in a flexible fashion.)

I see Trump is trying to distance himself from "the joke'" by (falsely) claiming it doesn't represent his views, and also that old line he uses, this time applied to Puerto Rico, that he has done more than anyone for them. All he did for them was delay emergency aid to them during hurricane Maria in 2018, that was not help.
It is unfortunate that people in the actual territory of Puerto Rico don't get to vote - that is some democracy!

I’m surprised he’s not blaming Nancy Pelosi for that ‘joke’.

This is the same guy who got sand in his arse crack over being called a couch fucker.

“Sectional Predator”, please.

 

[Derec]

ETA: Should have known Derec would be all over this.

He is my congresscritter. Why shouldn't I be all over this?

And would need a two minute video edited for the hard of thinking to illustrate the point, despite the actual quote being a mere nineteen words.

I did not make the video. That's just the video I found.

I guess meanspirited jokes are only ok from the left.

You need me to explain the difference between ridiculing a terrible person and spreading bigoted slander towards an entire ethnicity?

I really fucking have to, don't I?

You might also explain the difference between an internet discussion board and a major pre-election rally held by a Presidential candidate, while you’re at it, if you think it’d do any good.

A warm-up act at the rally, vs. the couch joke, which was repeated by the vice presidential candidate.

 

[scombrid]

I am so sick of the Republican hand wringing over this - and their faux outrage. They didn't know he would say this? He has literally said the exact same jokes before!! You knew damn well what he would say. You didn't care before. Your outrage is because you realized others disapproved and now you're scrambling to "feel their pain." Fucking Republican shit bags.

At least this guy's career is destroyed. I just hope Vance and Trump are next.

His career is fine. He has the bRogan audience locked up. They love hacks.

If your entire schitck is bigotry that targets Latinos, Jews (notice the big 's' anti-Semitism!), and Blacks... and you are signed up to speak at a Trump rally in MSf'ingG., not some local yokel rally in the middle of Alabama, but MSG! One has got to think this was all quite intentional and the MAGA movement is all-in on bigotry and anti-Semitism.

Apparently this story is spreading by work of mouth among the Puerto Ricans of Pennsylvania. Maybe it will actually cost the Nazis a swing state!

I also read that Trump has given up on the election (really??) and just wants to reinforce his base's support. Whether he wins or loses the fact that 45% of Americans love this crap is very discouraging.

Have you not heard of Guam?

He is still in Congress. My district (GA-4) really can't catch a break.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist this! Too bad Rep. Johnson is only black -- if he were also a woman you would have hit the jackpot!

Honestly, I think Tony Hinchcliffe was deliberately trying to sabotage Trump. Typically, roasters focus on the host—here, Trump/Republicans and his supporters—not people who aren’t even at the event. Think about it.
