That ship sailed some time ago.  We will eventually need to locate that ship and bring it back into the harbor, but right now we need to focus our attention on the 10 ships in the harbor that are currently on fire.

I don't think that's true.  One of the non-Fox News channels I was watching showed him in the arena, checking out the "crowd."  He was wearing a mask so maybe they were wrong.

But maybe there's hope...very few Trumpers were wearing masks, so maybe Parscale was one of them.

Seems like an awesome way to invalidate the waiver.  "I signed the waiver, but because the church lied to me and told me they were killing 99% of Covid germs.  I never would have signed that had I been told the truth."

If he has another low turnout in Phoenix, this shows me that his cult members KNOW they are full of shit and just trying to be contrarian assholes.  When it gets down to brass tacks they aren't willing to put themselves out there in the Covid sea.

Yep.  This is all about Trump's ego.  Pick a smaller venue.  Have direct messaging to a demographic that will show up.  And they're evangelicals -- they will fellate him ad nauseum.  It's just what he needs as a pick-me-up.

By the way, it's also exhibit #eleventy billion why American "Christianity" is pure shit.

Wiki says their weekly attendance is 22,500 but that isn't capacity. If I locate the capacity, I'll edit.

 

Local paper says it holds about 3000 people. They are supposedly partnered with Turning Point USA and Students for Trump but how can a church do that exactly? Stay out of politics if you preach, people.

  Quote

One of President Trump’s central 2016 campaign promises was to build a wall at the southern border. That effort is now well underway, with his administration aiming to have completed 450 miles by the end of 2020.

As of the mid-April, 156 miles of new primary and secondary border wall have been built since January 2017.

Of that, 140 miles of new wall in place of what CBP calls dilapidated or outdated designs. Two miles have been built where no barriers previously existed. Meanwhile, 11 miles of a secondary system were constructed in place of old designs, and five miles where none previously existed.

Expand  

So basically 2 miles of primary barriers that didn't exist prior to 2016. Of course my source here is the liberal MSM, so I will keep my mind open until I hear what OAN has to say about it.

This asshole's name is 'Aryan'.  Seriously, you can't make this shit up.


Not only is his first name Aryan, but his surname is Wallwork.

I shit you not, Aryan Wallwork. No way in hell dotard will be able to lay off of that when he starts trying to whip the crowd into a frenzy to “build that wall”.

I guess I'm confused.  Why would the lame stream media report on the "success" of Fox News, and oddly, this tweet follows the one where he bashed Fox News.  Also "hustory".

I admit I tuned in about half way to hear the bat shit insane shit he was going to spew. Was pleasantly surprised only fox news had it on. Watched some of the coverage outside the event earlier, but then you know dinner and kids bath times took priority over that shit show. Probably gave it 30 minutes before changing the channel since he was just rambling on and on. I’d bet a lot of people who won’t vote for him turned it on at some point to see how it was going.

For anyone wondering what our election will look like in November, please go watch the last 6 episodes of Narcos Mexico, it will look exactly like that where they burn the ballots, have their people change the voting #s and intimidate people. They only have to do it to key counties in Florida, Michigan, Penn and Ohio to guarantee a win, not nation wide campaign.

My sister, who didn't vote for him in 2016 and has no intentions of doing so in 2020, watched it (she had never seen a Trump rally, and wanted to).  She's also not in his demographic; holding dual Bachelor's in Chemistry and Physics, along with a Masters in Chemistry. Here's her texts to me, in chronological order:

I am increasingly convinced that the Lincoln Project has some psychologists on staff and they're purposefully triggering Trump to force him to do stupider and stupider shit.

And, I mean, that's probably bad for the country in the short term, given that he has the nuclear codes and everything.  But it's probably great as an electoral-politics play.

The early June meeting in the Cabinet Room was intended as a general update on President Trump’s reelection campaign, but the president had other topics on his mind.

Trump had taken a cognitive screening test as part of his 2018 physical, and now, more than two years later, he brought up the 10-minute exam. He waxed on about how he’d dazzled the proctors with his stellar performance, according to two people familiar with his comments. He walked the room of about two dozen White House and reelection officials through some of the questions he said he’d aced, such as being able to repeat five words in order.

Expand  

 

  Quote

At the time, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment — which includes animal pictures and other simple queries aimed at detecting mild cognitive impairment such as dementia — was intended to quell questions about Trump’s mental fitness. But in recalling it, Trump said he thought presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden would never be able to pass it and suggested challenging him to take the test, said the people familiar with Trump’s comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private details.

Expand  

 

  Quote

The seeming non sequitur was part of Trump’s growing preoccupation in recent weeks over perceptions of his mental and physical health, at a time when critics have mocked him for episodes in which they say he has appeared frail or confused. The attacks Trump has previously levied against Biden — dismissing the former vice president as “Sleepy Joe,” secreted away in his basement and enfeebled — have boomeranged back on him, as opponents have seized on Trump’s own missteps to raise concerns.

  Quote

Donald Trump’s exhausted trudge from Marine One toward the White House after his botched rally in Tulsa, his red tie undone, a grim look on his face, a crumpled MAGA hat in his hand, is now an iconic image of his presidency. And as always with Trump, he’s already looking for someone to blame. The most obvious candidate, according to sources, is his embattled campaign manager, Brad Parscale. “Brad really shit the bed Saturday night. You have to remember, execution is 95% of presidential politics,” a Republican close to the White House told me over the weekend. Parscale committed a cascade of errors, from overhyping expected turnout to blaming the half-filled arena on protesters. Trump was so furious when he saw how thin the crowd was that he threatened to not go onstage, two sources briefed on the discussions told me. The sources said that Parscale, reading the tea leaves, is planning to step down. “He knows he can’t survive,” one source told me.

Expand  

 

  Quote

Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said Parscale is safe. “Brad is the campaign manager, and he’s the one in charge,” Miller said.

But one thing is for sure: The blame game has shifted into high gear. Trump insiders told me Trump was presented with five options of where to hold his rally. “The president chose Tulsa,” a source said. Sources also told me that if Parscale is forced out, he likely won’t be the only casualty of the rally fiasco. Trump is debating revoking his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s control over the campaign, sources said. As I previously reported, Trump has been frustrated with Kushner’s oversight of the campaign in light of polling that consistently shows Trump losing to Joe Biden. Another source of friction has been campaign spending and reports Trump has gotten that Parscale is making millions of dollars. “Did Jared allow this?” Trump asked advisers recently, according to a source. (Kushner declined to comment.)

Expand  

 

  Quote

One way to measure Kushner’s diminished influence will be found in whom Trump would choose to replace Parscale. Top candidates include 2016 veterans Miller, David Bossie, and Corey Lewandowski, all of whom Kushner successfully kept on the outer fringe of Trumpworld. “We can’t allow Jared’s stupid disagreements to get in the way,” Trump recently told advisers, according to a source briefed on the conversation.

Expand  

 

  Quote

Other Trump insiders are skeptical that Lewandowski would be put in charge of such a vast operation. “Corey was great when it was just Trump and an airplane. But let’s face it, he couldn’t manage a 7-Eleven,” a person close to Trump said. “The serious operation will be run by serious people.”

The Tulsa debacle takes on added resonance given that a return to rallies is central to Trump’s reelection strategy. With COVID cases spiking across Trump country, it’s unlikely that Trump will be able to pack an arena anytime soon. Deprived of the oxygen his legions of fans provide, Trump is struggling to fight political wars on multiple fronts. He’s also lost the attack line that Biden is too old for the job. “There is something off about Trump,” a West Wing official told a top Republican a few days after Trump shakily descended the ramp at West Point. “He doesn’t have the stamina.”

But Miller said the campaign is actively planning for another rally. “We are eager to get President Trump back out on the road again in front of voters. The energy and enthusiasm is all with Trump.”

They're doing what the Dems failed to do in 2016 and for the last four years. Even disaffected Republicans are still just insanely more effective at marketing than the Democratic party is.
