As a parent of a former 5 year old (he is now 6) I take exception to this statement.
That photo can’t be real, can it?
Wait, X actually blocked the adding of specific links to the leaked material and suspended the journalist who posted them? What happened to Free Speech, no censorship of ideas? That’s election interference! I want my money back! That’s what we get for letting one of them foreigners run our social media platform!
Yes, John Cornyn is the Texas Senator not named Weasel-face Asshole Ted Cruz.
Oh, you’re talking about the obvious lines and extra dark color of Trump’s bronzer that day. Yeah, that doesn’t look like his normal shade of “tangerine dream”. That looks more like “Jersey Shore”. I guess someone bought the wrong bottle?
(Not real color names, AFAIK.)
By airing utterly vile campaign ads.
I do not ordinarily watch live TV, so I am thankfully spared most political advertising. But, I was out of town last week and having dinner at a nearby sports bar, when a Trump ad came on the TV. Fortunately, the sound was down, but unfortunately I caught the gist of it. It was a lot of fear-mongering/concern about transgendered people, and it ended with a final slide that read, “She’s for they/them. Trump is for you.” I got, literally, physically ill. I knew his campaign was very, “us v. them,” but I didn’t realize how low they were going. It’s disgusting.
I’m not going to try to find the ad to link to it, because I don’t want to give them the traffic, and I don’t need to sully my soul any more than it already is. I’m sure you can find it easily enough if you’re curious. I would recommend against it, though.
Boy Howdy! I had 2 friends (pilot and flight engineer) who flew these and heard some pretty harrowing tales of the C-130 Experience.
How bout we give Cheato unlimited use of an Osprey?
“Can you imagine it? I got put on an air force plane, I had to sit on a bench seat while the pilots had real seats”
Let him ride around in a Chinook. I’ll let him have ear plugs.
Give him the C-130, with a required 7 day layover at Camp Lemonnier.
Once he is on the plane, Biden could direct the plane anywhere for national security reasons. And since it’s an official act, he will have immunity.
I’m actually not opposed to Trump having additional security. So long as he pays for it himself. There’s not reason why my tax dollars should go to protect a former president beyond what Obama or Bush or Clinton currently get.
But Trump never pays for anything, including taxes and lawsuit losses and people he set up contracts with. That makes him smart (according to him).
To him, a judge talking sounds exactly like a teacher talking to Charlie Brown in those TV specials.
According to this Meidas Touch YT video (with embedded user videos) describes a ShitGibbon rally in Coachella valley CA, some ways east of Palm Springs, in which the parking lot was 5 miles from the venue and attendees were required to board buses to get there (for security reasons, no doubt).
After the rally, many of the twenty or so buses apparently went somewhere else to do other jobs, leaving no more than 3 buses to handle several thousand people. Some waited all night to get back to their cars – I could walk that distance in around two hours, and probably would do so, but it was after dark, most of the attendees were SoCal car-addicts and some of them were simply not able to walk that far.
This anecdote does not get any mention on any “news” site. It was posted about on Xwixxex and covered on raw story, but the election news is about “issues”, not assholery.
Here’s an article on the rally from a San Diego newspaper.
The heat baked attendees at around 100F for hours on end as they waited for Trump to begin speaking, with accounts of multiple instances of heat exhaustion or heat stroke reported.
At the end of the event, many attendees reportedly discovered they had been stranded by shuttle services several miles from their cars and were forced to either wait for alternative transportation or walk back on their own.
Of course, one of the attendees blamed it on the Secret Service.
Just waitin’ for it to come around again on the gee-tar…
Been there, done that…
Well crap. I went looking for articles to see about that bus shortage thing only to find out police arrested someone with fake credentials and illegal firearms heading to the rally. “Another assassination attempt”.
Shit.
This ass clown was some Republican registered soveriegn citizen. It’s been reported that it was probably another attempt on Trump’s life, but the FBI didn’t agree with that.
I’m thinking it’s just possible he’s a Trump supporter that believes in gun rights and as a soveriegn citizen didn’t comply with California gun laws and got caught. Let’s see how this plays out.
Meanwhile, it’s been pointed out this rally was not held at the site of the Coachella music festival, but at some manure farm nearby. So the inaccessibility and rural farm nature meant access was limited, and parking on site questionable unless parking in a manure field. Thus the need for busses from the fairgrounds.
But that doesn’t explain the lack of busses to help people leave. Trump being a cheapskate does.
I am interested if some enterprising investigator can turn up the bus contract. I’m curious if Trump ran the rally late, and thus the paid bus time expired, or if he set it up that way all along.
See this thread:
You would think that they would wonder why Trump is not loudly blaming someone for this on their behalf. But he has said nothing about it. No “sorry that the thugs and lunatics did this to you”. If he was the man they believe he is, he would have castigated their enemies, of course, and then done everything he could to help them. But apparently nothing will ever convince them that he is not the man they believe he is. Even abandoning them in a California field.
The locale is known as Calhoun Ranch. If livestock are raised there, then, yes, there will be manure. But I don’t think that describing it as a manure farm is accurate.
I don’t know. I think it’s a pretty good description of Trump.
One of Trump’s most devoted supporters, 18 year old Bo Loudon (I’m not going to link to his Xwitter account because he doesn’t deserve the attention…he constantly refers to Trump as “rightful President Trump,” and concludes his clips of Trump rallies by saying that Kamala doesn’t want you to share the video, and it’d be a shame if it went viral) posted that he was flying over the Coachella event while Trump was talking.
I had to reply with a question:
Why would a civilian be allowed in the airspace above a political rally being held by a candidate who has already had two attempts on his life?
Bo hasn’t answered me yet. I doubt he will.
