Tony Hinchcliffe us defending himself by sayingâŚ
But Don Rickles.
The clip he posted was Reaganâs Inauguration and Rickles was poking fun at republicans including Reagan.
Iâm trying to imagine how trump would react if he was made fun of at this own event.
The thing that no one seems to be reporting on is that speakers at a huge event like this are vetted by the campaign. He submitted his remarks ahead of time.
No big loss. Shitheels gotta shitheel.
Roganâs incel fans were bored by Trumpyâs nonstop babbling.
The crowd that can only handle info in 13 second soundbites were subjected to unfiltered dementia for 3 hours. Even Rogan couldnât shine that turd.
Harris wasnât going to earn their votes anyway and theyâre most likely stay home with their Playstations, Xboxes, and porn.
Spent a couple days canvassing for Democrats in Wisconsin, and Iâve got to say that the mood can best be described as nervous as fucking hell in a critical swing state and I have every reason to believe itâs similar in others.
Yes, thatâs a partially a product of the national media wanted this to be a coin flip, but complaining about the media coverage of the race is less than pointless at this phase. So if anyone has time they can kick in to phone bank or in-person canvassing in this last week to get out the vote, Iâm sure that your county Democratic organization can point you to some groups set up & ready to go. Or go here: Calls | Kamala Harris for President?
i thought the american electorate wanted lower petrol prices as a key voting factor. all i ever hear from â â â â â âers is that gas was cheaper under his presidency?
is the problem that Iran was spared their oil production at all, or the fossil fuel megadonors wonât be making the insane profits?

There wonât be an October surprise raise in gas prices. Which I suspected Bibi & Trump were colluding on.
The background checks turned out to be largely ceremonial the first time around since Trump just overrode the vettersâ recommendations and appointed whoever he wanted regardless of any red flags that turned up.
The only reason they want to skip the F.B.I. vetting is because they want to limit the number of government actors privy to their dirty laundry.
Trump canât even make fun of himself. At his recent Al Smith Dinner appearance after spending a huge amount of time spewing mean-spirited insults towards everybody he could, he said something like, âthis is the point where they say I should say something self-deprecating, but, nah, why would I do that?â.
Comparing the things Hinchcliffe said as being like Don Rickles is just stupid. Insult comedy and roasts in general allow you to both laugh at somebody and with them. A skilled roaster or insult comic will have the ability to insult you in such a way that you would be hard pressed to disagree with what they are saying. This also means you canât cross the line into being mean-spirited. Itâs a very hard thing to navigate, which is why there arenât very many who are good at it.
Besides, these people werenât being insult comics and they werenât doing comedy. They were being bullies by punching down, spreading lies, and fomenting hate to try to get a laugh from the crowd. Thatâs not the same thing at all.
Just imagine how freaking amazing would it be if someone booked Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to open for Trump at a campaign event.
Having (long ago now) done statistical programming for a polling agency i knew there was a tendency to weight the cross-tabs toward a 50:50 result. (yâknow: âWe got only two hispanic males under 35 in our set of 1017, so letâs scale them by uh⌠53â) Call it an almost subconscious motivation toward: cover-yer-butt ahead of time. That is, they canât be wrong if âit was âneck-and-neck!â âŚuntil it suddenly wasnât!â. Yet just recently i learned this subtle practice had a name: âherdingâ.
Robert Reich covers seats Democrats need to flip the House:
Those sources insisted that they did not spot the other objectionable lines in Hinchcliffeâs speech prior to him delivering it because they were ad-libbed. Hinchcliffe couldnât be reached for comment.
