I'm glad Puerto Rico broke through from the standpoint of "taking a win when you can get it", but I'm just as annoyed that people only got upset when it took some random comedy sideshow act to get people upset for using the same kind of language Trump has been using daily for months.

Re your 4th point, I think that the boardrooms of the corporate MSM are secretly as pro-Trump as anyplace outside a MAGA rally. They absolutely long for the days when they could simply post one of his outrageous tweets and publicly clutch their pearls while privately smiling all the way to the bank.

Then-CBS head Les Moonves was widely criticised in 2016 when he said that "Trump may be bad for the country, but he's damn good for CBS", but such criticism was pretty hypocritical coming from the others in the media. He only slipped by saying the proverbial quiet part out loud.

Those media folks remind me of the apparently apocryphal alleged quote by Lenin that a capitalist will sell the means of his own destruction. Because if Trump actually got back into office, they will be subject to arbitrary arrest and worse, and their publications could be forcibly discontinued.

6) While the Trump Campaign vetted HinchcliffeтАЩs act and removed a "joke" calling Kamala the C-word, they uploaded his Puerto Rico "joke" to his teleprompter.

Enough said! Trump owns this.

On this, we 1000% agree! He NEVER should have been considered by more than 40% of voters, but we donтАЩt live in that world sadly.
