Donald Trump's six-hour Madison Square Garden rally Sunday night, filled with "anger, vitriol and racist threats," began almost immediately with the "joke heard around the world"—an attack calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean"—and ended with 80 minutes of Dona...

Voters seem to have goldfish memory every election about how conservatives keep fucking us everytime they’re in power.
