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:)
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.
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?[*]
