Has anyone checked Craigslist? I expect Our Leader, dismayed at the turnout so far, intends to pack the Mall with shills who will drop like the proverbial flies ---

Or we may see a large number of busses pull up and all the thousands of “spectators” are under 35, overwhelmingly male, have very short hair, and are all wearing matching sunglasses. ---

Possibly. Code Purple has been issued for tomorrow; [that’s one step below the worst possible.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_quality_index#United_States) ETA: the big live concert & fireworks show by PBS is tonight; that’s gotta hurt Trump’s attendance, too. ---

Note that the fireworks display is expected to be excessive to the point of significantly affecting air quality. Which probably won’t do Trump much good either if he actually turns up outside. ---

Y’know, this piqued my curiosity so I checked - the daily flight SJU-DCA that normally gets there around 9:50ish in the evening, is nowhere to be found on tomorrow’s timetable. Seems like sound thinking. ---

I pray the rosary that Patient #1 is _not_ Donald J.

> [@JRDelirious](#): > > Fail to plan, plan to fail, with this lot it’s all the same. I do think that for these clowns that was the plan. Steal as much money as possible, paying little for 3rd class materials and talent. Pocket the rest. With all the confidence that no one that matters will do anything about it. It reminds me of the infamous [“Willie Wonka experience”](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/willy-wonka-inspired-chocolate-experience-outrage-rcna140726) that had a lot of cardboard exhibits and so lacking on interesting things to do that people called the cops. The difference now is that if one calls the cops for the current makers of the _Wanker_ experience in DC, the cops could be ordered to arrest _you_. ---

Frankly I’m not sure it would be good for him to die tomorrow, at this point he’s more of a drag on the republicans than a boost. If he dies they’ll rally around the body and have some hope of energizing their voters.
