Still no count for the number of Trump Thugs who ever showed up at the courthouse?

As for your imagining there were no blacks or Latinos there, obviously whatever you are smoking in Thailand has gotten in your eyes.
Trump actually got endorsed by black rappers, a very popular Puerto Rican priest and Lawrence Taylor. Of course, you soy boys may not know who that last guy is.
Numbskulls huh? What does it say that you are voting for this guy?

And my favorite recent meme:
Numbskulls huh?
And the only answer to any of this absolute shit show is: but Trump is worse. That is what you do when you are completely bankrupt of ideas.[/QUOTE]Ok, so the few Blacks and Latinos in that sea of white people bused in from outside the Bronx, maybe from Hooterville and Pixly, were lured there to see a rapper charged with murder hugging the disgraced, twice Impeached and 88 count felony charged Insurrectionist former so-called president.
Maybe that is why those Trump Supporters don't show up outside the courthouse or anywhere else near the judicial system to protest his criminal trials as he pleaded them to do and only show up at the free hats and beer parties at a park.
Well, that certainly speaks more highly of their judgement and awareness than their thinking the Unemployment Rate is at a 50 year high now vs when it hit a near 100 year high under Trump or that the Stock Market is down this year under Biden vs the two Bear Market declines under Trump, one of them just one year after his one $2. 5+ Trillion economic "stimulus" legislation was passed and created a Million fewer jobs with it than without it and the 2nd one after his 2018 and 2019 Trump's Pandemic efforts finally came to fruition.
See, these are just some of the reasons nobody should believe a word out of Trump's mouth or his supporters' mouth or even a photo or video regarding a Trump appearance crowd:

Calling it Now Senile Fake pres Shit Stained Joe will not show up in June debate or will be so incomprehensible and they shall use this incident to replace him with the scumbag newsome.
Trump is dead already, so he can't be there. The Stable Genius said so.
[QUOTE=Woodman09;2918041]Calling it Now Senile Fake pres Shit Stained Joe will not show up in June debate or will be so incomprehensible and they shall use this incident to replace him with the scumbag newsome.[/QUOTE]No, seriously. The stable genius who knows all the best words and is so rich he will never never never need anyone else's money to run for president so, you know, he can't be bought, told the world he did not escape death when the FBI conducted their standard procedure search of his home while it had been prearranged for him to be 1000 miles away at the time. He admitted that tragic outcome in a fundraiser email where we was begging dumb Repub hillbillies for money from their government entitlement checks:

BTW, Trump hid from one of the three scheduled debates with Biden in 2020 and from all of the Repub debates this time around. That is how scared shitless he is to be expected to respond intelligently to any serious presidential level question or topic.
Joe Biden will slaughter Trump in a debate. Nobody knows that better than Trump himself. I doubt he will show up for either debate with Biden and certainly not for two.
How'd the Bronx suddenly get so white?
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2917497]LOL. So Trump attracted all of those white people with MAGA hats in the South Bronx for his big push to pull Blacks and Latinos into the World of One "Once in 100 Years" Repub Economic Disaster After Another under Repub policies and stewardship, huh?
LOL. Really. Too funny. Yep, your video does tell us a lot.
BTW, why is that video on Xitter instead of Fux News? Did someone tip off Fux that the video (not in the Bronx, South or otherwise) was of hired actors and Fux did not want to pay another $787 Million fine?
If not, now we know what Deadbeat Numbskulls who think the Unemployment Rate is at a 50 year high and the Stock Market crashed this year do in their spare time.[/QUOTE]
Yes, that feeble excuse for a rally, was all too funny!
Trumps pretend rally (23-May-2024) in the Bronx, NY, [b]looked awfully white[/b] (...kkkk!), for a NY boroughs that is typically a majority black, brown, Latino and blue voters.
If we're to believe this "fantastic surge" in the polls, w/r to blacks voting for Biden's predecessor, then I think more black people than just Byron [i]"Photoshop"[/i] Donalds (Veep wannabe) and two (2) rappers accused of murder, will need to show up for his fake rallies. (...kkkk!)
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;2917692]Trump actually got endorsed by black rappers, a very popular Puerto Rican priest and Lawrence Taylor. Of course, you soy boys may not know who that last guy is.

Was this the best representation of black and brown voters he could find in the Bronx? A wannabe Veep, 2-rappers on murder charges, a Latin priest and a HOF footballer with too many head concussions and late night Saturday/Sunday morning cocaine binges? If I didn't know any better and by all accounts, it sounds like the start to a bad joke...kkkk!
My oh my...is this want Trump really thinks is representative of black and brown voters, in the Bronx, NY? Is it any wonder NEW YORK hates this dude? Hence the busing of white supporters to a rally in a black and brown district!
You are 1000's of days and Trillions of deficit spending dollars late on that.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2918117]So now it is name calling and making stuff up. I am not sure if that is better or worse than the but Trump line. You can just start at the 2:18 mark of this video and watch the MSNBC and CNN portion, so we do not have to hear about the Fox news crap. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLQA2BAZ4S0[/URL]
Are you going to trash MSNBC and CNN now as being on Trump's side? LOL.
And you are sure they would not be arrested for showing up? Hell, the NYC police strangled a black men for selling loose cigarettes.
Rent is up 50% since Biden took office. Gasoline is up 100%. If you have a job like most people do, you do not care about the unemployment rate. If you see Biden flying in illegal immigrants, which he is doing, and Biden is paying their rent and education costs, it is going to piss you off.
And then there is this: So as if overall inflation hadn't hit us hard enough, we in the lower tax brackets the folks who eat fast-food got hit with a 77.4% increase in fast-food prices.

Things are much tougher on gen Z because boomers have been such pigs with your retirements..[/QUOTE]Did you actually expect me to be shocked that typically pro Repub Mainstream Media sources like MSNBC and CNN would present an interview of a woman saying "crime is too high" (crime is way down from what Biden inherited from Trump and WAY down from pre 1994 thanks mostly to a Senator named Joe Biden), "the economy is bad" (the economy is better now than under Trump by ANY measure) and "food costs too much" (apparently not for her, she looks very well fed) and some numbskull who thinks rock bottom gas prices during Trump's 20.5 Million Jobs Destruction and Trump's Pandemic Closures where there was no place to drive to anyway is "better" than the roaring Jobs Creation and WIDE OPEN Biden Economy without factchecking and correcting them on the spot for their sake and the sake of their viewers?
LOL. Too late. I have been on to that typically pro Repub MSM scam since the middle of Reagan's 1st term as so-called president.

That is 69 cents more today than in Trump's pre Trump's Pandemic supposedly "best" of his below average economy years. The Manufacturing and Agriculture industries were struggling through a Trump's Disastrous Trade War Recession so bad the Federal Government / Trump was sending those businesses emergency welfare checks just to keep them afloat.

Even if you and the numbskulls featured in those typically pro Repub MSM interviews want to return to the depths of Trump's Pandemic 20.5 Million Jobs Destruction, business and school closures with nowhere to drive to anyway, today's Average Price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the USA is nowhere near 100% higher than it was at the blessed and merciful end of Worst President in History Donald J. Trump's so called presidency.
Your rent is up 50% since January 2021? Then I would suggest you submit a 30 day notice of rental termination to your landlord and move to a cheaper location. Jobs are so abundant and with better wages than ever around the country you should have no problem finding a better one than you have now and affording whatever rent they are charging nearby.
That sure as hell was not the case for anybody in America 4 years ago.
Where's Trump, Fux, MSNBC, CNN, Rasmussen, Emerson, Harvard-Harris, etc?
But but but nobody has any money after paying rent, buying gas and eating lunch!

The WSJ's inspection of the study agrees; it was and is Trump / Repub Party Inflation
Well folks, thank Donald J. Trump and your local Repub for the post-Free and Fair Election of Joe Biden inflation:
[B]Study suggests Republican panic caused recent inflation.
May 25, 2024[/B]
[URL]https://jabberwocking.com/study-suggests-republican-panic-caused-recent-inflation/[/URL]
[QUOTE]The Wall Street Journal points to a fascinating study today. Three researchers took a look at recent inflation expectations among Democrats and Republicans. Here it is:
See link and dramatic chart here.
Democrats maintained relatively stable inflation expectations the entire time. By contrast, Republican inflation expectations skyrocketed literally on the day Joe Biden won the 2020 electionlong before actual inflation appeared.
But that's not all. The authors say that these inflationary expectations actually turned into inflation:
"We find strong positive and significant effects of inflation expectations on inflation itself.... A one percentage-point increase in 1-year or 5-year inflation expectations [b]lead to a 1.3 or 2.3 percentage point increase in inflation[/b], respectively."
The Journal decided to check this out, and their conclusion is that it seems to be true:
See chart and link to WSJ here.
Every state that voted Republican has high inflation. That's fairly remarkablethough I'd feel more confident in the result if I could see this same analysis for previous elections.
[B]If this study is correct, it means that a great deal of our recent inflationary surge was literally due to Republican hysteria over the election of Joe Biden. In fact, the authors calculate what actual inflation would have been if everyone had instead acted like Democrats:
See dramatic chart here.
They figure that inflation would have topped out around 5% and would currently be at 1.7%.[/b]
I'm not sure what to think about this. The results seem too big to be true, and the authors take some shortcuts that might be iffy. That said, I don't have the econometric chops to evaluate the paper properly. I'd sure like someone else to do it, though. If the paper is right, we're paying a huge price for the Trump/Fox-induced economic panic that continues to infest Republican voters.[/QUOTE]The Wall Street Journal used to be a fairly well-respected source for unvarnished judgements and assessments of economic data, records and reality. Why didn't MSNBC, CNN or, damn, even Fux, which I believe is owned by the same Wingers as the WSJ, refer to this study when they caught and aired the interviews of Trump MAGA members bused in to The Bronx from Hooterville and Pixley complaining about Inflation a few days ago?
Oh, I'm sure we'll see and hear these conclusions about Inflation having been stoked and extended by Repubs and definitely not Dems in every interview of a disgruntled potential voter from now until election day, right? LOL.
From the WSJ link included in the above report:

[QUOTE][b]Expect high inflation, get high inflation.[/b]
But Binder and her co-authors posit that expectations helped push inflation higher.
The theory that beliefs about inflation matter was cemented following Americas painful experience in the 1970s. The more inflation businesses expect, the more they will raise prices in an effort to get ahead of rising costs. Similarly, workers will demand bigger wage increases if they expect more inflation, pushing labor costs higher.
Fed officials spend a lot of time talking about the importance of keeping inflation expectations anchored to keep prices from spiraling higher. And for Democrats, expectations were in fact anchored, maybe because they bought into the Feds belief that the recent burst in inflation would prove transitory.
But people who didnt believe that narrative, they saw inflation rising and they extrapolated that forward and their expectations rose, said Binder, author of the new book Shock Values: Prices and Inflation in American Democracy. And that in turn kept inflation rising more than it otherwise would have.
In October 2022, when inflation was running hot, Republicans in the Michigan survey said they expected prices to increase by 7.6% over the next year, versus 3.1% for Democrats. Even though inflation has since moderated, the gap remains wide: This months survey showed Republicans expect 4% inflation, compared with 2.2% for Democrats.[/QUOTE]
If the election here held today, Trump or Biden?
I ordinarily would not jump on the polls this far from the actual election. But I wanted to post this before the jury in Trump's current criminal trial renders its verdict and before Biden slaughters Trump in any debate Trump has the balls to show up for.
And it is my opinion and judgement at this early stage where, admittedly, anything can happen over the next few months, that if the election were held today Joe Biden would get 270 Electoral Votes and win his much deserved and well-earned 2nd term as one of the greatest Presidents of all time.
Oh, but Mainstream Media is all abuzz about how Trump is way ahead of Biden in all the polls, including in every battleground state, you say? LOL. Uh, yeah, I know.
Here is my case:
Given that RealClearPolitics is a demonstrably Winger-leaning polling site, my conclusion is even based on RCP's Consensus Poll of Polls on a few decisive factors:
[URL]https://www.realclearpolitics.com/[/URL]
Their Trump vs Biden Head-to-Head Consensus Poll? Trump is currently ahead of Biden 1. 1 point.
Their 5-Way Race Consensus Poll? Trump is currently ahead of Biden 1. 8 point.
Their Electoral College States Map has not changed in weeks or months. Their No Toss-Ups Electoral College States Map has not changed in weeks or months. Their No Toss-Ups EC States Map currently shows Biden only needing to win 3 battleground states in order to hit 270 EC Votes:
Wisconsin? Their Consensus of Polls currently has Trump ahead of Biden 0. 1 point.
Michigan? Their Consensus of Polls currently has Trump ahead of Biden 0. 3 point.
Pennsylvania? Their Consensus of Polls currently has Trump ahead of Biden 2. 3 points. That one is currently the largest Consensus of Polls advantage for Trump on any factor that really matters with regard to either candidate achieving 270 Electoral College Votes and it is still well within a normal +/-MoE statistical tie.
Now, if the election were held today could Biden close the gap and exceed Trump's current 0. 1, 0. 3 and 2. 3 point lead in those three battleground state RCP Consensus Polls? Yes. Imo, easily. It would then be all about the ground game. Of which the Biden campaign has built significant tools for it in those three states while the Trump campaign has not:
[B]Biden is building a behemoth of a campaign. Trump at this point seems to be playing catch-up.
Biden is flush with cash and opening campaign offices across the country, but he has struggled to overcome Trump and his more meager campaign in the polls.[/B]

Sorry, but setting up rally festivals of blithering lies at parks and beach resort areas that typically attract crowds of tourists and day-trippers anyway and then passing out free hats and beer to largely the same deadbeats with nothing better to do bussed in from Hooterville over and over again because they are at least willing to suffer through those lies for an excruciating hour or so, as Trump has been doing, is not an effective "ground game" for getting out the vote on or before election day where it counts.
