I ran across this randomly today (it’s a couple of weeks old) and it struck me as funny.
I wonder how long it took them to say, “Thanks but no thanks.”
You think that idiot can stick to a script? Even one he came up with? That’s cute.
Script? He can’t even teleprompter.
…Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do…
Historian Donald J. Trump, describing the American Revolutionary War
Teleprompt her? I don’t even know her. And I turned her down when she asked
I’ll take anything that sticks to the wall. As long as it’s more than ketchup.
I don’t know, I think it’d be good to see the nonsense. Maybe even amusing.
Agree, but overall a complete waste of time.
For Lindell it would be a waste of time- there would be no way to display a promo code.
That’s what I thought. I couldn’t picture Trump actually keeping his word this time.
I’d have paid money to see that.
Well, Trump golfs. Tiger Woods golfs. And Tiger Woods hit a tree, so…
Well, there was that incident that led to the joke, “What’s the difference between a golf ball and an Escalade?”

can drive the former 200 yards.
“MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says that he tried to get a spot to testify before the January 6 committee … but they did not want to talk to him.”
No surprise. His own mother doesn’t want to talk to him.
Also, my dog, who is a good deal more knowledgeable and intelligent than “My Pillow” Guy, tells me that he also offered to talk to the Jan 6 committee (or at least bark at them). They ignored him, too.
They shouldn’t. Ratings would probably be higher, and it wouldn’t be bad for them to get some good boys to interview for a change.
Y’all are on fire with the quipping in this thread. I giggled lots.
Jokey answers aside (and I appreciate them), if I put myself in that position–knowing that in a precarious moment my followers are in the nation’s capital with weaponry–I get out on stage and say, “Jesus fuck, guys! Get out of here with those guns! This isn’t an armed insurrection, I called you here for a rally, not a coup! Seriously, you shouldn’t have guns here, and I’m calling in law enforcement to protect the Capitol building. Christ, rally’s off!”
or words to those effect.
I think almost any other politician would have done the same thing. The cowardly ones might not go on stage and they might just send a representative to declare that the rally is canceled due to a security threat.
It’s worth putting yourself in that hypothetical, though. For real, what would you say?
I’d try to be diplomatic, since clearly this is a crowd that feels strongly about the issue. “I appreciate your passion and I understand your anger, but violence and guns are not the answer here. They will only help our opponents in the Deep State discredit our movement! Fight with ballots, not bullets! I love you and know you’re all very special to me. Thank you!”
I feel a little greasy now.
Here’s my read: he prefaces the above statement with, “I just want to go on the record as saying” – and then your statement. But while he’s saying it, he winks occasionally and at the end he turns around and has his (tiny) hands out of camera range with his (tiny) fingers crossed.
Plus any “patriots” arrested for illegally carrying weapons in Washington, DC would not have been free to attack the Capitol later.
It’s funny that the SS, knowing that there are firearms in the crowd, lets him go onstage in the first place.
