The right is starting to get better at comedy and it’s making lefties nervous

classy

"She is some sick bastard, that Hillary Clinton. What a sick son of a bitch. The whole fucking party. A bunch of degenerates. Lowlives, Jew-haters, and lowlives. Every one of 'em. Every one of 'em."

"America is for Americans and Americans only" -- Stephen Miller

the contrast between the Harris event in Philadelphia and the Trump rally in New York City is jarring. here's a taste of Kamala's speech.

Byron Donalds comes out to John Cena's music

Byron Donalds: "I'll be damned if you're gonna have some school tell my boys that they can now be girls. Not on my watch. Not on the watch of Donald Trump."

nightmare rotation

Mike Johnson lies that Democrats are "full on to Marxism"

Harris is leading by 15 points in New York so, no

Tucker Carlson: "There's not one moment I've ever been with him off camera where he's spending his time grousing about people he hates. Ever ... Trust me."

Carlson then invokes the great replacement conspiracy theory that has inspired numerous right-wing mass shooters.

Tucker Carlson with one of the most shameless comments of all time: "The liberation he has brought to us is the liberation from the obligation to tell lies."

Moments after praising Trump for purportedly liberating him from telling lies, Tucker Carlson blames Liz Cheney for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people

Hulk Hogan comes out as a surprise speaker. He rips off his shirt and does some Trump-like dancing.

Hulk Hogan: "You know something Trumpmaniacs? I don't see no stinking Nazis in here. I don't see no stinking domestic terrorists in here."

HULK HOGAN: What are you gonna do about putting God in our schools?

CROWD *Vote for Trump!*

Dr. Phil says "they" shot Trump

i haven't paid close attention to him but i did not realize Dr. Phil is this much of a clown

it was more subtle than during his ultra-fashy speech a few days ago in Georgia, but Tucker Carlson laid the groundwork once again for another MAGA attempt to overturn a Trump loss

Trump begins by asking his fans if they were better off now than they were during the covid pandemic. The crowd indicates they preferred the pandemic.

In an unusual move, MSNBC is carrying Trump's MSG speech live. So is CNN, meaning Trump is currently on all three of the big cable networks.

Trump looks pale tonight and there's lots of weird lips and tongue stuff going on, like his mouth is dry

"That is a lot of fakers back there" -- Trump goads his MSG audience into booing "the fake news"

"A lot of people are coming from the Congo prisons" -- Trump

Trump in NYC claims migrants have taken over Times Square. A pretty egregious lie considering the rally is taking place just blocks away.

"The United States is now an occupied country" -- Trump

(it should go without saying that he's lying)

Trump on America in the 1790s, when slavery was legal: "That's when they had law and order."

He then addresses Speaker Johnson and says, "get ready"

They're not beating the fascist rally allegations -- huge cheers when Trump calls for the death penalties for migrants who commit murder

"Everyone knows she is a very low IQ individual" -- Trump on Kamala Harris

Trump egregiously lies about the federal Helene response, saying "they haven't even responded in North Carolina"

strong chyrons

Trump seems kinda loopy

The crowd at Madison Square Garden is completely dead as Trump fear-mongers about the draft

Trump on a possible war with China: "We would kick their ass."

"It's just this amorphous group of people ... they are indeed the enemy from within" -- Trump is indulging in Infowars-level conspiracism

Trump claims 101,000 people turned out for his rally in Butler (the Secret Service estimated the attendance was actually 21,000, so he's just off by 80,000 give or take)

Trump on RFK Jr: "I'm gonna let him go wild on health. I'm gonna let him go wild on the foods. I'm gonna let him go wild on the medicines."

"I would like to have their children" -- Trump on JD and Usha Vance

Trump: "Perfect, perfect, young, beautiful girls were cut up into little pieces by knives. MS-13. They're animals."

"They're the enemy of the people. The press" -- Trump

Trump: "Mayor Adams has been treated pretty badly ... I think they upgraded his seat in an airplane. I hear that's a very serious charge ... I don't know. Maybe it's something else."

"We're gonna build a beautiful dome over our country" -- Trump

Trump singles out Mike Johnson and calls for him to pass a bill making flag burning punishable by a year in prison

Trump: "For the past nine years we have been fighting against the most sinister and corrupt forces on earth."

Trump craps on New York in New York: "When I left New York was the place you wanted to be and now people just don't speak well of it."
