The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

Understandably, there’s a question about crowd size. The Washington Examiner columnist cited the Trump-friendly NY Post. Here’s what some not so Trump friendly media outlets reported. Basically the crowd was big, mostly local, and very diverse. Enjoy.

———
“CNN National Correspondent Kristen Holmes told viewers that there was "a bigger crowd than Democrats would like to see." She added that at some rallies, the Trump campaign brings people from other areas but many of the people she spoke to at the Bronx rally were locals.”
—————

“MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire also said the crowd was around 7,000 people during a show.”

NYT
“In front of him was a more diverse crowd than is typical of his rallies, with many Black and Hispanic voters sporting bright red “Make America Great Again” hats and other Trump-themed apparel ordinarily scarce in deep-blue New York City. Still more people stood outside, waiting to get past security.

“But people at his Bronx rally said they had directly seen the impact on their neighborhoods of the surge of migrants, which has strained the municipal budget as the city provides housing and other social services.

Rafael Brito, a Queens resident who said he had come to the United States from the Dominican Republic, said he thought the migrant crisis had exacerbated crime and made it more difficult for his neighbors to get services they needed.

“The whole neighborhood has changed,” Mr. Brito, 51, said.


A picture is worth a thousand words.
 
Trump lost by 7 million votes.
He lost in every NYC borough except Long Island winning there with 56%.
Unless you hear of a voter registration campaign tied to a rally of his held in a historically blue district then this is no different than a pop up circus. Now, stop and take a moment to imagine republicans registering black and brown persons to vote without getting some first born blood oath guarantee that this will mean that they will vote red come ANY future election. Lol. Not happening. Suppression and gerrymandering is where their elections are won. Enjoy the carnival barker - he is entertaining.
 
BabyBoobs clearly doesn’t understand that the corrupt orange traitor’s spokesperson claimed 25,000 - 30,000 had attended the event in the Bronx:

“Steven Cheung, spokesperson for Trump, told Newsweek in an email after the event that 25,000 people attended. Meanwhile, John Tabacco, a Newsmax reporter praised the event in a video and said he estimated that there was around "25,000 to 30,000" people.”

😑

Side note:

"7,000" < 25,000 - 30,000

😑

And then there’s this, from the right wing Daily Mail no less:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-25-000-New-Yorkers-left-waiting-outside.html

From the article:

“Multiple attendees of the rally DailyMail.com spoke to were born and raised in the Bronx while others came from other New York City boroughs, suburbs and as far as southern New Jersey.”

😑

👉 BabyBoobs 🤣

I'm seeing estimates as low as 800. With easily a third of them being protesters.

Who knows…

The were undoubtedly a fuckton of protesters, media (guerrilla journalists) , and plain gawkers in the general area.

There looked to be only around 1,000 - 2,000 people max. at the main stage at the time of that one particular photo, (The photo was pretty blurry).

Definitely NOT “25,000 - 30,000”.

i was really surprised to read that only around 10% of the labour market in America is unionized!

this week the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama vote; it's a test this time to see how the vote will turn out given the company's anti-union messaging, something Volkswagen (TN) didn't do, taking a more neutral stance even in the face of 6 major TN political names threats and fearmongering.

Workers rejected the union by a margin of 56% to 44%.
 
fuckin' jim jordan cannot help himself on Memorial Day; when most other politicians got it pretty much non-partisan, a celebration of remembering those who lost their lives fighting for the USA no matter who they were, he decided in his ignorance or deliberate flame-fanning to toss Benghazi into the mix.

“From Bunker Hill to Benghazi to Abbey Gate,” he wrote. “Never forget the brave men and women who gave their lives for freedom and our country.”

That’s a curious (and pathetically partisan) choice of battlefields.

Benghazi, of course, refers to the deadly attack on two US facilities in Libya in 2012, during which four Americans died… none of them members of the armed services, which Memorial Day should be about. That isn’t to say that their deaths and sacrifices matter less, it just shows that, in every way, Benghazi is a bad example to choose for a Memorial Day message.

Shudda called it Grand Wizard Technologies.



The U.S. Justice Department and Department of Labor announced the agreements last week with Arthur Grand Technologies Inc., after the company violated the Immigration and Nationality Act by posting a discriminatory job advertisement in March 2023.

"Only U.S.-born citizens [White] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, Texas, [Don't share with candidates]," the job post read.

"It is shameful that in the 21st century, we continue to see employers using 'Whites only' and 'only U.S.-born' job postings to lock out otherwise eligible job candidates of color," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

I don't have a problem with the US Born limitation.
