Yes I mean it's historic right, people still talk about the rally in 1939, what red blooded rednecked idiot wouldn't want to make history like that again?

Not sure who else made fun of as he says.

Going to a Nazi rally and having your set around racist jokes probably isn't a bright idea.

I tried watching a little bit and found it unwatchable, so I had to look for a transcript. Here's a summary:

Mypillow endorsement.
Texas good, California bad.
'Proud' Latinos good, migrants bad.
They're eating dogs and cats in Ohio (includes weird comment about his boomer Ohio mother?)
Puerto-Rico = garbage
Travis Kelce = next OJ Simpson
Democratic celebrities = P. Diddy
Caring about international wars = bad
Palestinians = violent, Jews = greedy
Trump = anti-war
Lewinski joke
Black people like watermelons (but it's okay because he's talking about a friend of his.)
Trump is so cool for getting shot, all Biden did was get Covid
Musk great, Toyota Prius bad
Nancy Pelosi = insider trading

So yeah, not exactly both-sidesing his humour. I'm kinda surprised I didn't hear about the Kelce = OJ Simpson joke, the implication there speculating on Kelce killing Taylor Swift.

Yeah even the complaints about no toilets or whatever were quoted as people from out of state and they thought the inconveniences were election interference.

That said, I'm sure there are plenty enough people in the greater NYC area to fill 20k seats anyways. If you take into account anywhere within an hour or two there's probably 20+ million people.

The Hill: Trump says he’ll let RFK Jr. ‘go wild’ on health and food in potential second term

Former President Trump said Sunday that he would let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” in dealing with issues related to food, medicine and health in a potential second administration.

“I’m going to let him go wild on health. I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on the medicines,” Trump told supporters at Madison Square Garden.

“The only thing I don’t think I’m going to let him even get near is the liquid gold that we have under our feet,” he added, referring to oil.

Kennedy ran an independent White House campaign before dropping out in August and and endorsing Trump.

It’s pretty frustrating that the standup comedians set is getting any attention at all when there was lots of garbage being said that can’t hide under the veil of a joke.

Let's see if he is this excited when RFK Jr takes away his KFC and McDonalds and gives him lean bear meat with some carrots.

Occasionally in this cycle I have wondered to myself if Trump actually prefers losing. Maybe I'm just too deep in my bubble, but when he doubles down on using the Military on American protestors and leftwing leaders, or when he promises some weird granola make believe natural food remedy for all, I just don't think he can think this #### is appealing.

And I think there is a world where he sees 3 options.

Lose - He gets to campaign for another 4 years, continuing to scam his followers.

Lose - He claims victory anyways, if someone the country lays down and lets him steal the election he knows he can go all the way and just remake the American system as we know it.

Win - He has to listen to all of those boring people who don't get anything done talk.

Let's give the guy with a literal brain worm from eating food not properly cooked or prepared control of the health and food regulations!!

Seriously, idiocracy had smarter people in charge. Mike Judge undershot.

Hundreds of ballots lost' after drop boxes seen burning in blue states

It has begun...

Hundreds of completed ballots were reportedly lost in Vancouver, Washington, after smoke was seen billowing out of a ballot drop box.

A photographer from KATU was on the scene to capture images of the smoking drop-off box.

Within 30 minutes, police had cordoned off the area and removed a pile of smoking ballots, the news outlet reported.

A Portland, Oregon, ballot drop box was said to have been reported on fire just hours earlier. Investigators blamed an incendiary device set off inside the box.

The incident was being investigated as arson.

Apparently it is a single person, and the FBI have already identified their vehicle (Volvo).

I wonder if at sentencing they will attempt to blame it on Trump, Fox, or Xitter.

They won't like prison much either way.

Authorities said at a news conference in Portland that enough material from the incendiary devices was recovered to show that the two fires Monday were connected — and that they were also connected to an Oct. 8 incident, when an incendiary device was placed at a different ballot drop box in Vancouver. No ballots were damaged in that incident.

Surveillance images captured a Volvo pulling up to a drop box in Portland, Oregon, just before security personnel nearby discovered a fire inside the box on Monday, Portland Police Bureau spokesman Mike Benner told a news conference. The incendiary devices were attached to the outside of the boxes.

Stupid people do stupid things...

I can’t picture a Trump fan driving a Volvo.

[Paulie Walnuts]

They have drop boxes to cast your vote for president of the US?

It's Portland, I think the only vehicles registered the state are Volvos and Subarus.
