Mary Trump - "The Garbage Can of the World"

- Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin (posted in Editorials & Other Articles)

At Donald’s hate rally at Madison Square Garden, one of the speakers referred to Puerto Rico as an island of floating garbage. For months now, Donald has been referring to Kamala Harris as “stupid,” his political opponents as “the enemy, within,” all while calling democrats “sick” and “evil.”

After Joe Biden made a statement in order to push back against the massive amounts of dangerous rhetoric that came out of Donald’s MSG rally, CNN aired an edited clip of what Biden said:

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

U.S. Air Force officials installed a new kind of structure in the waters of St. Andrew Bay on the shore of the Tyndall U.S. Air Force Base in Northwest Florida on Oct. 30—the first section of a Rutgers University-designed "self-healing" reef made of custom-designed concrete modules and living oysters. The reef is designed to protect the base and its people from hurricanes and tidal surges.

I'm thinking an ICYMI thread could be something I might do on a fairly regular basis... I would pick a post or two from different forums that got 5-15 recs (10-15 in GD) as of publication. No tweets or videos. Just interesting, cool or funny stuff.
