Trumper basically tells Palestinian supporter he should die. Gets booted off CNN panel.

'Did you say I should be killed?' Chaos as CNN GOP guest threatens pro-Palestine panelist.

A CNN panel erupted on Monday after a Republican strategist told a former MSNBC host "I hope your beeper doesn't go off" — a reference to an Israeli attack involving pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon that targeted the militant group Hezbollah.

The comment came on CNN's "NewsNight" during a discussion over racist remarks made during a rally for former President Donald Trump.

Mehdi Hasan, a former MSNBC host and current editor-in-chief of Zeteo, asserted on the panel that even one such remark would've functionally ended the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney or John McCain.

Does anyone else think the racist comedian was hired by a disgruntled insider to troll the GQP?

I mean, they had to know this was not going to be taken well by undecided voters. Could there possibly be a troll inside the orange blobfather's campaign? Or, did they just go for broke because they know they aren't going to win?

It just seems to me, that someone trolled the rnc.

Quit hitting me up with the Loomis comparison. I've never read or heard anything by her. I just thought it would be hilarious if someone in his inner circle would do this to him because it's exactly what he deserves because it has really tanked his approval with so many independent voters. So stop with that bullshit. It's not nice and is against tos.

Opening Act at Trump's NYC Rally Spews Vile Racism.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump‘s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday opened up with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe—of the comedy podcast Kill Tony—calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” among other xenophobic and prejudiced punchlines. The ’quip' did not appear to land with the crowd in attendance.

Hinchcliffe continued by deploying a crass sexual slur for Latino immigrants—joking that they should all leave the country.

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too, just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out,” he said. “They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.”


He also delved into racist stereotypes for Black people and played into antisemitic tropes when addressing the Gaza-Israel war during a relatively short set.

HuffPost reporter Christopher Mathias, among those in attendance, labeled it “shockingly racist even for a Trump rally.”

Wow, they aren't even dog whistling. Just blatant racist kkkrap!

Hey folks. We need to do more to educate folks here on trans hate and homophobia.

I'm not sure how to go about that. Anyone have an idea? This is specific to the post about "Ann Coulter's penis." and why that is inappropriate to this forum. It is transphobic and hateful.

And just a FYI to some folks, not all trans people have had surgical procedures. Each trans person is different in how they would like the world to see them. It's about how they feel and what makes them feel happy and "normal." (I hope that is the right way to describe it.)

If you haven't already seen it, Will Ferrell and his long time friend's documentary,"Will and Harper" gives a good insight. It is a really a wonderful tribute to a friendly love situation between Will and his trans friend of over 30 years. It's on netflix.

Another Putin "friend" dies after falling out of a window.

How many of Putin's friends or enemies have fallen out of windows? I think this defies the odds.

A former senior energy industry executive was found dead following a suspected suicide, Russia's state media reported, in the latest mysterious death of one of the country's elite.

Mikhail Rogachev, 64, who was the former vice president of the disbanded energy firm Yukos, died after falling from a window, the TASS and RIA Novosti news agencies reported at the weekend.

A law enforcement source told Tass that Rogachev's body was found in Protopovsky Lane in the Russian capital and that "the main version of his death is suicide. The man suffered from cancer."

Meghan McCain's threat to Dems backfires as her dad's biographer issues warning of his own.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! NEPO BRAT!!!! Her own father couldn't stand her, lmao!!!

Meghan McCain earlier this week said that she wants Democratic candidates to stop invoking her late father’s memory on the campaign trail — and fired warning shots on social media that there could be more to come.

“Now, I know democrats want to reinvent history and turn my Dad into any illusion you guys need him to be depending on the political moment you need to bastardize his memory for…But please don’t make me start sharing what I remember him ACTUALLY saying about Kamala Harris….” McCain wrote Friday on social media.

“And consider this my final warning shot, I will start spilling tea,” added Meghan McCain, the daughter of Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, who died of brain cancer in 2018.

That threat was turned on its head over the weekend.
Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter, who recently published old comments by J.D. Vance saying he wanted Hillary Clinton to beat Trump in 2016, said he had some tea of his own to spill about her.

"I wrote a book about your dad in '08, as I'm sure you know, Meghan. So go ahead and do it, nepo," said Schecter on Sunday. "Then I'll share what your father's advisors [and] others close to him told me he really thought about you."

Mercy Chefs serves over 25,000 meals in multiple states after Helene.

Helene was one of the deadliest storms in recent U.S. history, and has now also caused huge changes for the communities it damaged.

More than 1.2 million customers were still in the dark on Wednesday in the Carolinas and Georgia.

Residents cooked food on grills and hiked in the hopes of finding a cell signal to let loved ones know they were alive.

Ann LeBlanc, co-founder and president at Mercy Chefs, said the organization has served over 25,000 meals to residents hurt by the storm and plans to ramp up to serving some 20,000 per day just in Asheville, North Carolina.

My heart goes out to those devastated by this hurricane.

I was listening to some survivors on NPR and I started boo-hooing driving home from work. Whole towns have been wiped off the map. A little town in Florida, mostly trailer homes, is gone. Steinhatchee. These people didn't have a pot to piss in to begin with, and now their whole town is leveled by storm surge.

I have survivor's guilt for being right in the path and just having the lights flicker.

I wish everyone well and hope you and your families are safe tonight. Hug them close. Life can be fleeting. My condolences to anyone who is experiencing losses from this storm.

I NEED A COPY CAT RECIPE FROM WOLFIE'S DELI IN MIAMI.

Sorry about yelling, but I have tried to locate this recipe for years. Wolfie's Deli in Miami had a sautéed chicken livers and onions in wine sauce that were to absolutely die for. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It's not their chopped liver, which was also excellent, but this recipe was just the best chicken livers I have ever tasted.

If you know someone who may know the recipe, or if you know someone who may know someone, you know, a cook that worked there back in the '90's, or someone who ate there and can replicate it or someone's Bubbe that has a go-to recipe for sautéed chicken livers and onions in a wine sauce, please, please help. I've got a hankerin' that just won't quit!!!

Thank you. I gotta get this monkey off my back!

Some people in the middle or wherever they are

need to quit making broad strokes against a whole group of people that they nothing about. No one group is a monolith. We are not in a cult. We are all different. Some, not so perfect. And some pretty good. And some really good. Just don't go painting whole groups with a big paint brush.

Thank you for letting me rant.
