So if you take the number of dipshits who were at Trump’s speech last wednesday… divide that by 50… No, not 50, Alaska and Hawaii only get a few… Hmm. Does this mean a smaller, more round-up-able group of dipshits at each location?

There’s no reason any state legislators needs to be working on the 20th at the state capitols, right? Not that we want these idiots occupying the buildings, but it’s a more manageable security issue.
