Phoenix in September? Forecast to be 101°. What could go wrong?
Trump will take great delight in the idea of his most passionate, most idiotic and desperate supporters barbecuing their nuts on the boulevard.
Nothing. If something goes “wrong” for even one of 60,000 fascists, it’s “right” for the rest of us.
Indoor stadium. Only thing that could go wrong is if the AC goes out, at least for those who actually are allowed inside.
Also, that stadium seats closer to 70,000 for football.
Aye, there’s the rub. How many will be turned away, and end up milling around outside. Other MAGA events bussed them in, then abandoned them.
The authorized cameras will only show tight shots of fans, who will be told to bunch together in one section behind or close to the speakers.
It will be much more than that for this in that case because there will be seating or standing on the field.
I am actually looking forward to that rally. I think a lot of people will attend or watch the huge rally, feel that they did their part in mourning then go back to their lives. Attention spans seem to be very short these days. It may be a good thing to have one huge memorial.
I can’t help but read that as fuhrer.
I’m hoping enough show up waving swastikas to make clear to casual viewers who exactly they are mourning.
For all his lifetime of self promotion, Trump is really bad at optics. At his grand military parade he imagined himself like Stalin at Red Square while what we saw looked like a modest tailgate booth at a ball game.
So, we can look forward to a shabby Trump whine while he imagines Nuremburg and Riefenstahl.
I understand it will be livestreamed on You Tube at 2:00 ET.
Lynden school board tables proposal to create ‘Charlie Kirk Day’
Lynden, WA is a conservative Dutch-heritage community 10 miles east of where I live. Donald Trump had a campaign rally there before his first term. One of my wife’s patients who lives there, was heaping praise on Charlie Kirk. So it’s no surprise that the school board would want to establish a Charlie Kirk Day. What is surprising is that the proposal was tabled in a 3-2 vote.
They are also planning on using the ex-hockey stadium next door as overflow.
I suspect they’ll get maybe 10K. Football is on!
Cardinals are playing the Niners in Santa Clara at 1 PM. Who wouldn’t watch that instead? Well, me, but that’s because the TV will be on RedZone.
I’ll probably be outside or inside with the tv off.
The bitter part of me hopes that the American public treats this rally the way they treated us in Tucson when we had a rally after our mass shooting (in which 8 people died, and many were wounded, including Gabby Giffords) – like shit. Because that’s how they treated us. Like shit. For mourning.
The kinder and the more practical parts of me don’t want that, because even if the dude was a piece of shit, people should be able to mourn, and also because these are the sort of people who will snowflake their way into killing us all if they don’t feel respected.
Who?
Charlie Kirk
Was that one of the children shot at school in (insert the last dozen murder locations)?
No, he was the guy that said it was okay for a few shooting deaths of children to preserve the back part of the 2nd amendment. (don’t quote me, just doing a dumbed down paraphrase, you know, for the uneducated).
Don’t go shooting people no matter how despicable their opinions and speech are.
So Hitler will attend the festival of recreational grief to bury Goebbels.
Apparently Rhianna and Eminem did a tribute song to Charlie Kirk?
