Fuck you NY Times! Fuck you Maggie Haberman.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/27/us/politics/trump-new-york-msg.html

Sunday’s rally at Madison Square Garden, the self-styled “world’s most famous arena,” is a remarkable gambit, even by the former president’s standards — and a show of force.


Really? Not the actions of a small man with a fragile ego who can't accept his home town has thoroughly rejected him? A "show of force"?? Really.

And what is Kamala going into Red Texas and having a rally with 30,000 people, 10x some of Drumpf's most recent rallies. THAT, dear Maggie is a show of force.

Fuck you, you Trump ass licker.

Making it impossible to beat the records Kamala set on Thursday and Friday.

23,000 in Clarkston, GA on Thursday night.

30,000 Houston, TX on Friday night.

Not that anyone else actually gives a shit.

Under his deluded denial and egg shell ego assertions that his crowd is bigger, he knows the truth.

Did that dipshit actually manage to (finally) pack an arena?
I'm just curious, and all of the coverage I can find is making me ill before I can figure out the answer to that question,

how many empty seats are there? And, I think we're missing an opportunity here. This is horrible to say.... but we have all the Nazi's, militias, magats basically in one spot. It'd be incredibly easy to rid ourselves of this enemy... did neither T nor his secret service think of that? We'd never do something like that... but American Nazi Party 2024 is NOT a good look for the country.

after all, they were maga or at least Right-leaning nutjobs that tried to take out Trump this election season! Passing around the Koolaid would be right in line with where trumps mind is at right now... but he'd probably have each one of them pay for the privilege of drinking it!

She seems to think that getting on Needy Amin's good side now, will buy her safety and peace of mind at night later on.

A lot of Stalin's, Hitler's and Idi Amin's toadies thought the same thing.

Today the New York Times also vigorously endorsed Kamala Harris while accurately describing Mr. Trump’s many weaknesses.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/opinion/editorials/kamala-harris-2024-endorsement.html#

Ms Haberman is the walking epitome of a working access click baiter. This is currently absolutely true.

The Times’ endorsement of Kamala Harris, though, is a thing of beauty, too. Read it. Do.

Do read the NYT endorsement of our Vice President. The paper condemned Mr. Trump, too, yesterday by citing his most egregious statements and exhorting us to “believe him.”

The NYT often spouts Mr. Trump’s false misdirection. There can be little doubt about that. Nonetheless, yesterday, the paper did what the owners of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles times were afraid to do.

Moreover, the NYT’s Harris endorsement is excellent. Do read it.
