    Well at least I learned something from all this. Prior to this thread I had never heard of Bad Bunny.

    With anything involving Trump and his MAGA followers, this is how it works every time.

    Oof. How is that possible? Admittedly I know little of his music, but aware he’s immensely popular. His concerts sellout fast. Like Taylor Swift fast (she’s a popular US singer) :)

    It’s because people only on the left pretend to care. Reality is, PR has a serious trash problem. It’s been in the news before but the left doesn’t really care. Your just gaslighting us over a joke.

    At this point, the low propensity voter you can convince to go vote is almost as important as an undecided.

    Always nice to see a MAGAt double down on the racism.

    That's one heck of a sidestep and your article is more than two years old.

    Do you honestly believe that George Lopez, a Mexican American, making a joke about Mexicans stealing border wall materials is equivalent to the white comedian calling Puerto Rico and island of trash and making a watermelon joke in ref to a black man in the audience?

    They quickly transitioned from "it's comedy" to "well, they did have a landfill problem years ago."

    It's what they always do. They find something, anything, to try to excuse it. It's pathetic.

    This is the talking point the zombies are running with? PR actually have a trash problem and it’s liberals that don’t care?

    I was making fun of the tweet that was referenced in an earlier post. The Tweeter added up all of the followers of the various entertainers to be 676 million, and seemed to imply that that number of voters could be influenced by these entertainers. I was merely pointing out the impossibility of that.

    Not my math. It was in the tweet. Apparently, this Victor Shi tweeter did not understand this. ;)

    That post was merely pointing out the huge # of followers each has. Not that it represented a 1:1 ratio of voters. Which should have been obvious considering Grande on her own actually has more followers than the entire U.S. population (and far more than the voting population).

    Yes, I get all that! I did not misunderstand, but I think the tweeter doesn’t understand. If he understood that there is tremendous overlap among the entertainers’ followers, why add them all up, write it in capital letters, and declare it’s a huge, massive number?

    Man, this is a tough crowd tonight! :eek:

    Haha. It's not how you start the rally, it's how you finish it. Trump apparently heard that he needed to rally in this race to come from behind and have a chance to win it, but in his senility, heard that he needed a "racist rally". So he had one, and insulted most of New York's minorities in the process. Trump's rally was charitably described as "political suicide".

    Opinion: Donald Trump’s Racist NYC Rally Was Vile. It Was Also Political Suicide
