A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

Twitter is having a bit of fun, today, about the sign listing items prohibited at tonight’s Trump rally in Alabama:

Note that the faithful may NOT bring guns or ammunition (or toasters!), either. Or umbrellas…which is SO SAD for them given that it’s apparently pouring rain on them, right now:

(photos of both the No-Toasters sign and the Trumpites huddling below tarps, at the links.) (eta: looks as though I can post them here:)

LOL, my, that looks so fun. :smiley:

“Cigarrettes” is misspelled. Naturally.

So many colorful garbage bags ponchos. Almost rainbow-like.

I wonder how many of them knew they’d have to ditch their umbrellas before standing around for hours in the rain. No vape pens either.

One of the anti-Trump groups -Meidas Touch, IIRC - flys airplanes with Loserpalozza banners over the rallies. I hope they aren’t rained out.

Why did they need to add toasters? I just can’t imagine.

Also, I hope they’re manned.

Because that sign specifically prohibits unmanned aircraft systems! And they could be shot down! If only the people on the ground had their guns!

I shouldn’t joke about that. Because if they could, they absolutely would.

Not only are balls banned, so are packages. Do they have a MASH unit somewhere?

I think that one ties with “Structures” as the weirdest items on the list.

What, did they fear the fans would come prepared to actually build a temple to the Golden Donald? (I guess it’s a reasonable area of concern, given the people involved.)

\

Some on twitter were pretty impressed that they didn’t manage a misspelling in every item on the list. :expressionless:

Also “Appliances (i.e. toasters)” when they meant to say “(e.g.- toasters)”. Good guidance, though. If I was a miscreant intending to sneak into a Trump rally and wreak havoc, the first thing I’d want to bring is a toaster. If I was really, really evil, I’d bring the kind that toasts four slices at a time!

I also note the contradiction where “noisemakers” are prohibited, but apparently Trump is allowed in.

I won’t say that I hope they all get rained on and all get COVID. No, I won’t say that.

Usually when you have something unusual prohibitted, it’s because someone tried to or actually did bring one to a previous event and the organizers decided they weren’t a good idea to have there. So they add an explicit prohibition to the list. So why would anyone want to bring a toaster to a political rally? Did they think there’d be a showing of RHPS?[*]

[*] Please do not try to imagine Trump as one of the cast or a fan of RHPS. That way lies madness.

He would make a pretty decent Eddie, always assuming he could get his lines/lyrics posted around the stage so he wouldn’t have to remember them.

Oh. God. You’ve ruined Eddie for me forever. :nauseated_face:

Well, “ruining things” is Donald’s superpower.

Touché.

Does anyone else find it interesting that they banned e-cigarettes and vapes but not actual cigarettes?

And no chairs. I hope everyone there is in good shape, they’re going to be spending a lot of time on their feet.

Maybe “structures” means “gallows.” Thats something people brought to a previous big rally.

God is telling them to go home and rethink things.

“Anyone need a pillow or two?”

Peak Schadenfreude.

This is what this thread is about.

Trump tells crowd to get vaccine. GETS BOOED!

Too little, too late, dude.

Kind of a belt-and-suspenders thing?

So even he has lost control of his own creation – or at least most used tool.
