A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 2)

Dude is just a magnet for crazy.

And you don’t need them after the photo op.

I like how the person who made that recording seemed to think it was the mayor of Coachella who is the one who should be doing something about this.

Is this over yet? What finally happened?

Already polishing their resumes for a spot on the White House Advance team!

Knocked back the trusty brain bleach before checking out trump’s rally itinerary - tomorrow night in a Pennsylvainian town and, er, oh - right here: :stuck_out_tongue:

Can only imagine the trepidation tomorrow’s MAGAts might be feeling if they have busses to catch.

I doubt they are aware of what happened at Coachella or a few years ago in Nebraska.

God knows none of their news channels of choice will tell them.

The guy whose video was used by Meidas Touch said five or six miles. A normal person should be able to walk that in a couple hours (as opposed to waiting all night for a bus ride). Granted, it was night, so doing the walk might be difficult (though not under the burning sun). And, of course, to describe a person who goes to a Screaming ShitGibbon as “normal” stretches the meaning of normal beyond the breaking point.

That also assumes that they knew the route back to the parking area. The people attending the rally may have been from out of town, and not known the roads in Coachella. They probably weren’t paying much attention on the ride to the rally, since they didn’t think they’d have to find their own way back.

With a limited number of buses available, the smart thing to do would have been to only allow car drivers on board. Once they were shuttled back to the parking lot, they could drive to the rally site and pick up the rest of their group. If they wanted to be really community minded, they could make a few extra round trips with their fellow rally-goers.

I wonder if we’ll hear about that in the news, how many of the attendees chipped in to carry strangers back to the parking lot in their personal vehicles?

Is it being covered by any regular news source? I haven’t been able to find anything online (from an admittedly cursory search). It’s been overshadowed by the guy with a gun who got arrested, and the heckling incident.

What? Do you think they’re some kind of socialists?

If they were that thoughtful they wouldn’t be MAGA.

I’ve seen it mentioned on a few sites like Yahoo News, but they all say that their information is based on reports from social media.

Remember that Trump boat rally? Where the larger boat owners swamped a lot of the smaller boat owners because they were zooming around without any regard for the other people on the water?

Yeah, “Community minded” isn’t in their wheelhouse.

That’s assuming you know there aren’t buses coming. Your average person is going to assume they are just running a bit late, which resets every 10 minutes or so. And wouldn’t you feel foolish if you were halfway to your car and a bunch of buses pass you headed to the rally site?

And you’re assuming the owner of the site where the rally was wants/allows several hundred(?) cars driving on to their property. Plus the chaos of people trying to find their car in the line, and a wait time to get in and out of presumably a single gate that would make getting out of a NFL game seem fast.

Although having them aimlessly milling around waiting for transportation isn’t ideal either.

Not to mention older people who might not be able to walk that far, or families with kids.

In other news- Richard Grenell, the only openly gay member of Trump’s administration, was introduced at a rally to the song “It’s Raining Men.” it’s not really schadenfreude, but more “shake your head because it’s terrible but also a little funny in a really shitty way”.

You mean the Battle of Lake Travis?

Edit: I would post a bigger version of this picture but the board keeps telling me I am not allowed to no matter which way I try to do it.

That…is brilliant.

I’ve been searching the web this morning and can’t find any new reports on how the rally-goers eventually got back to their cars. Anybody see anything?

As mentioned above, a two-hour walk in the dark over unknown roads in the desert without water sounds more than a bit dangerous.

Thank you for that, I needed a good laugh today!
