Donald Trump on Tuesday called his rally at New York's Madison Square Garden, an event marked by crude and racist insults by several speakers, a "lovefest."

... In his speech, George joked about the time Donald Trump said he'd build a wall in 2015 to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the country. The comedian said:

"Donald Trump said he was going to build a wall and George Lopez said you better build it in one day because if you leave that material out there overnight...."

George's joke led MAGA supporters to comment on why George making a joke on Mexicans didn't meet with the same kind of negativity that Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's comment on Puerto Rico did. ...

Referring to how George made a joke about his own ethnicity, an X user tweeted:

"He's Mexican making a Mexican joke, Tony is a white guy from Ohio speaking on Puerto Rico as a floating garbage dump. Not the same at all"

"Because he's Mexican you idiot. He's allowed, like Jewish comedians joke about Jews, Italians etc. Do we have to spell it out for you, how comedy works? This Tony guy isn't Latino or Puerto Rican. He's not funny," another X user said.

"Great, is Tony Puerto Rican? If not then that's not his joke to make," another netizen said.

"This isn't racist, it's a freaking joke. C'mon patriots, don't be hypocrites and play by the left's rules when it suits you," one person commented.

"It couldn't have anything to do with George Lopez being a MEXICAN comedian? And the MAGA ---- a white man?" another netizen stated.

Hank Johnson: US Congressman claims Guam 'will capsize from military influx'
www.telegraph.co.uk

... A United States Congressman, Hank Johnson, has become an unlikely internet hit, after he claimed the Asia Pacific island of Guam would "tip over and capsize" from a planned influx of American troops.

The 55 year-old Democratic member of the US House of Representatives claimed he was "obviously" joking when he made the remarks during evidence with a senior Naval officer about the US Military's build-up on the American territory.

While questioning Admiral Robert Willard, the head of the US Pacific fleet, the two-term Congressman from Georgia expressed concerns about the plans to post up to 5000 extra marines, and their families, to the island.

"My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," the former judge told the House Armed Services Committee hearing.

At the same time he leant to his left and added hand motions suggesting a large vessel tipping into the sea.

After a pregnant pause, Admiral Willard, replied that officials did not expect such a problem.

"We don't anticipate that," he said in a deadpan response, while trying hard not to laugh.

"The Guam population is currently about 175,000 and, again, with 8,000 Marines and their families, that is an addition of about 25,000 more into the population."

Since the exchange last Friday, it has become the most viewed viral video over the past 24 hours.

Since it was posted online late on Wednesday, it has gathered more than 800,000 hits on YouTube. Other versions have thousands of extra hits. ...

So, does your current alias have anything serious to say?

Lyrics excerpt...

...
This is ponderous, man, really ponderous

I had this dream the other night
I went to work one day
And nobody remembered who I was
So, I decided to take the day off

On my way out
I run into my boss and he says
Hey, you look familiar
I said, thanks, people say that
A lot in these dreams

Then the horns kicked in
And my shoes started to squeak

Then all of a sudden
I'm standing on a beach
In some tropical part of the world
And there's this sign that says
'Aren't you supposed to be at work'
Sort of screamed out at me

Then I remembered

I'd been here in other dreams
But usually there was a water polo game

And a girl who could talk with her eyes
And she'd say
'Can you see what I'm saying'

Then the horns kicked in
And my shoes started to squeak
...

A song I have only heard on college radio.
