I was invited by my New York congresswoman, Nicole Malliotakis, to attend the Madison Square Garden Trump rally, but I politely declined because I loathe crowds.
I did, however, watch the rally online when supposed MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said:
“There’s a lot going on. There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
He also made a bunch of disparaging remarks about Latinos and implied that illegals are coming here making lots of babies. Hmmm, I guess I am supposed to be so offended that I will not vote for Trump or any Republican running for office.

When I heard the joke, I was reminded of the movie WEST SIDE STORY when Rita Moreno sang AMERICA:
"Puerto Rico, my heart's devotion,
let it sink back in the ocean."

As always, Ms. Colon's columns are full of thoughtful truth. They also leave me with the feeling that I know her. Or at least, that I would really like to know her.

He had to have been a plant. This aint a Don Rickles or Andrew Dice Clay show where you expect to be insulted. The communists hired him to try to counter Trumps gains among Hispanics.
The talking heads can spin it any way they want, but the bottom line is that it was a political dirty trick that Trumps people fell for. Again.

I thought the joke was referring to Puerto Rico's existing problem of running out of space in their landfills.

I was stationed at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads from 1987-1989. And I lived off base. Now granted, my house got broken into twice, but that was the extent of crime that I experienced while living there. It is a beautiful island and there are some scummy parts such as some of the neighborhoods in San Juan. Like any big city. As for the joke - about the lamest I have heard in awhile.

I find it amazing that I have been to Ponce and Ms Colon has not. She is correct, Puerto Rico is a beautiful place and as a tourist destination one of the best. It's unfortunate that they have had employment, crime and welfare problems for years and I suspect corrupt government plays a big part in that, as it does here.

There's so much that could be said about this. I will just focus on Biggie Bidet Goin' Bye Bye Biden. The most racist thing ever said was "you ain't black if you don't vote for me." Bar none.
If it is so disgusting to say what this "comedian" said, why did Biggie say that 50%+ of all Americans are garbage? Who's worse, the "comedian" or Biggie? The moment that the Dims says the Republicans are bad, the Dims prove themselves to be much worse.
And what about a Hairass supporter screaming at a 5 year old girl, the video of which is widely available? No comment Biggie? It's OK to abuse children in Dim World?

#8. In the DemonRat world, it's not only OK to abuse them, but to disfigure them by convincing them to get "transgender" surgery.
Not to mention killing children in the womb, even before they've drawn their first breath!

You should hear what the Puerto Ricans have to say about some Gringos.
Anyway, I lived and worked there for 17 years and their mentality about keeping public areas is different from ours in the US. The insides if their homes are very clean but tossing stuff out onto the highways or public spaces doesn't bother them.
I left in the 80's so things might have changed since then. Although, I did visit in 2003 and it hadn't changed much along those line.

Love Alicia. I thought of her right away after that remark. Whoever hired that guy should be fired.

#3, you do sort of know her. She is an L-dotter who mostly lurks here but occasionally posts a reply.

You really can’t equate the two comments. The first comment concerning Puerto Rico was uttered by a described comedian, who most people don’t know, who may well be a Democrat plant who was allowed to appear in the warm up of the Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden that does not appear to have been shown live on TV. Obviously Trump was not present at the time and that was not a Trump comment. The second comment was made by Biden himself, stating that the half of the country that supports Trump is “garbage”!!!. Since Biden speaks for the Democrats as their elected President and head of the Democrat Party, while obviously that obscure comedian does not speak for Trump and could well just be another Democrat “dirty tricks” plant who was actually at that Trump Rally to attempt to sabotage it and Trump’s campaign. Bottom line by now everyone who has been paying attention knows that Biden is a career DC leftist and progressive Democrat corrupt and nasty politician who will say anything for partisan political purposes. The comedian, who knows!

A great retort from POTUS #47 would be,
"I don't know that comedian at all... but I do know Puerto Rico's government is all Democrat and they're ruined a once beautiful island."

It's been a while since I posted a reply, and I'm a long time admirer of Alicia Colon. However, there apparently really is a major garbage problem in Puerto Rico. There's an new article about it posted above. I was unaware this was an actual issue and took the comedian's comment to be a tasteless joke, as did most people.
Having read the article, the joke appears to be more like topical humor. As in, "Puerto Rico is an island that has way too much garbage" and not "Puerto Rico is garbage."
Even less was the comedian's point that the Puerto Rican people are garbage. That interpretation belongs solely to President Biden in whom mendacity and senility wage a constant battle to control his mouth that both are losing.

The comedian was doing topical humor, See the current article posted earlier today on the serious problem Puerto Rico has with trash.

Agreed! To pick a winnah, take Saint Jude or Alicia Colon, maybe even choose them both.
