Nah, vile and racist things have been said repeatedly at his rallies since the beginning.

MSG might have been the first time all the media outlets said racist though now that I think about it.

Everything jumps the shark eventually, everything. It's almost impossible to know when the thing someone does to become cool becomes the thing that makes them uncool. Fonz was just being Fonz, waterskiing in a leather jacket. Immediately stopped being cool and was never cool again.

I actually would’ve liked being able to leave some clear feedback on my way out the door, even if it’s unlikely anyone ever would’ve read it.

But when I got to the part of the cancellation where I was asked my reason for cancelling, all I was given to choose from was a handful of checkboxes with extremely vague, generic reasons (“not enough local coverage”, “quantity of original reporting”, “too expensive”) and no option to write in anything myself.

Wonder if they shut off and/or limited the subscriber feedback to protect Jeffy’s feelings and make his decision look less bad.

I don't think it was during the Cancel workflow, I think I picked something about Editorial from the cancel reason choices. I looked back at my emails it was actually Friday when I canceled.... and I submitted something through Contact Us to send my "why" notes (my subject was "Democracy dies... on your watch") and got back a ticket# in response.

I’m thankful everyone seems mad at what they said at the rally but… holy fuck, why now?

Why did a bunch of women in this country have to watch Trumpers at rallies since he came down the escalator wear tshirts that say “life’s a bitch, don’t vote for one” about Hillary, or “Joe and the Ho” merch, or any one of the 3738865 gross comments degrading either of the two female Presidential candidate? Why hasn’t the misogyny been enough for millions of men?

And why this particular Puerto Rico comment and not the other hundreds of ways they’ve insulted Latino voters. Boggles the mind.

I always go back to my one poli Sci prof telling us (when it was Hilary vs Obama) that America is more sexist than racist.

But yes. Great points.

I respectfully disagree with much respect as always

Trump has said horrible things that were brushed off as Trump being Trump.

This shock comedian doesn’t have Trump’s immunity, so now there is a wedge.

At some point Trump will claim to not know who the comedian is, but the damage is done.
