Now we know what President Trump plans to dress up as tonight. ABC ran another headline that would have been unimaginable before this year, which says, “2024 election updates: Trump rides to rally in marked garbage truck following Puerto Rican comments.” Go ahead, calculate the odds of those words ever being strung together in any order. I’ll wait.
It all began innocently enough. Invisible political lightning struck at Trump’s rally this week at Madison Square Garden, when warmup comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joked about Puerto Rico’s well-known garbage problem. It’s a real thing, everybody knows it, they practically can’t stop talking about it, here’s a link to just the latest trashy article at yesterday’s Environmental Blog...
It wasn’t like Tony did an entire bit about how the Puerto Ricans treat their entire island like a landfill. It was one sentence. Tony’s joke was just a throwaway one-liner, something like “that floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean. You know, Puerto Rico.”
But humorless Democrats, instantly more offended than middle-school mean girls whose invitations arrived late, started hysterically springing over each other in a frankly embarrassing kind of rhetorical naked leapfrog, competing to gush the hardest heartfelt displays of exaggerated emotion, alternating between defending Puerto Rico’s honor (as though the filthy island were an insulted virgin), and labeling President Trump as literally ten million billion times worse than Germany’s mustachioed, goose-stepping dictator.
Right after the rally, the Democrats announced their brand-new rule that anyone who calls Puerto Rico trashy —exactly what everyone has been saying for years— is literally also calling every single person of Hispanic descent trashy too. That’s the new rule. Don’t even mention the trash problem. It’s demonization! Demonization and racism! (Mostly demonization though.) ...
Eager corporate media reporters scrambled to ask plain-talking Joe Biden what he thought about the awful Orange Man and his fascist pet comic. Joe did not disappoint. Wearing his best “Joe Biden” silicone Halloween mask for the occasion, the former Vice President delivered his very best imitation of “old man yells at moon.” Overtaxing his last firing neurons, Biden sprang to defend Rubbish Island’s honor, yelling (and accidentally passing gas at the same time), “the only island of garbage I see floating out there is Trump’s supporters!”
Reverse-backlash ensued! Biden’s handlers were freaking out. In a revisionist move Stalin would done twice before breakfast, Team Biden revised the official Presidential transcript (which is supposedly illegal), adding weird and confusing punctuation marks to make it look like Biden was just rambling incoherently, rather than calling Republicans deplorable garbage people.
It was lame. Even corporate media didn’t buy it, mostly since anybody can watch the video on X and hear what Biden said for themselves.
For instance, the BBC reported on the Democrats latest Stalinesque revisionism under the headline, “Biden tries to clarify 'garbage' comment after uproar.” He tries to clarify. Tries. The effort to rewrite history backfired, which says something profound about how X has hamstrung the deep state’s information monopoly, but let’s not get distracted.
The real question was how did Joe’s garbage insult affect the election? Even though he was trying to help, bless his heart, Joe accidentally created an embarrassing spectacle, just like what happened in the Vatican, forcing the Plan B candidate to awkwardly cough up something nice about Republicans.
CNN ran a followup story headlined, “Harris distances herself from Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment as Democrats are privately exasperated by the president.”
They’re exasperated with Joe? What? Exasperated seems like a tame word considering they canceled him in the middle of his presidential run. Whatever it is, it’s way worse than “exasperated.” It’s more like narked or possibly scunnered.
Anyway, as the old saying goes, one dementia-addled old man’s hoarded garbage is another man’s profitable junk-removal job. Be the job. Vote, and get some more people to vote. Nag them mercilessly, until they give in screaming and go to the polls.
This is so epic I had trouble believing that it was real at first. Plus, the logistics of getting a garbage truck and decorating it in that amount of time is impressive.

TRUMP RESPONDS TO BIDEN CALLING AMERICANS "GARBAGE!"
He also said Trump asked him if he wanted to drive Garbage Truck One to a McDonald's drive through window. He said the truck wouldn't fit.

The long, storied list of political ‘-gate’ scandals expanded by one yesterday. It’s apostrophe-gate! The Associated Press ran the latest bizarre story yesterday headlined, “AP sources: White House altered record of Biden’s ‘garbage’ remarks despite stenographer concerns.” The gist was, the official stenographic team responsible for making an accurate historical record objected, strongly, to Team Biden’s stealthy, ex post facto addition of an apostrophe to their official transcript.
The White House historians called Biden’s Press Office’s after-the-fact revision a “breach of protocol” and “spoliation of transcript integrity.” In other words, Democrats only follow rules when the rules help them:
The change was made after the press office "conferred with the president," according
to an internal email from the head of the stenographers' office that was obtained by
The AP. The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who
spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
The supervisor, in the email, called the press office's handling of the matter "a breach
of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press
Offices."
"If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the
transcript but cannot edit it independently," the supervisor wrote, adding, "Our
Stenography Office transcript released to our distro, which includes the National
Archives is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press
Office staff."
It’s so interesting that the Associated Press (and other corporate media) reported this story at all, a story that would have been very easy to ignore. Why are they covering it? How did they get a copy of the internal email? Who leaked it?
The added apostrophe affair is an awful look for Harris. At first it seems tiny — the apostrophe is, after all, the shortest scratch of a pen— but it circumscribes a much bigger narrative about Kamala feeling entitled to ignore basic rules, fracture fairness, and flout the historical record, and all that in a wild display of Stalinist revisionism — and for what gain?
After all, nobody seems to be buying the re-do anyway. Not even the deranged women on the View. Yesterday’s Entertainment Weekly headline:
The View star, ex-Trump staffer says Joe Biden 'needs to stay off all media' until election day after 'garbage' comment
Griffin said Biden's recent comments are harmful to Kamala Harris' campaign and that Harris should 'unequivocally
distance itself' from him.
When you’ve lost The View…
PeopleUnited says

Was he really?
I recall a less than "democratic" process to install Biden.
I bet there will be at least 8 - 10 memes of this posted here in the next 48 hours.
