So they're already trying to place blame on anyone but themselves to why the turnout is so small in Tulsa. The overflow event has been canceled because there is no, wait for it, overflow. Inside a 99% white audience is so small there's hundreds and hundreds of seats unfilled. Fittingly it makes for a sea of blue.
Six of his advance people have tested positive for covid. That the would-be despot has so little concern for his staff and his supporters says it all.

🤣😂😅🤣... they are tearing down the outdoor podium Dump was going to speak from already! How freaking embarrassing.
Inside, the upper level is blue with empty seats. . Turns out social distancing is possible at this “rally.” Everyone can have an empty seat next to them after all.
Dump already has six of his own rally team with COVID 19 and in quarantine in Tulsa. Trump texting “ there is still space!” Dump said there will be 40,000 outside and he would address them first. Oops... Event canceled!

I’m generally pretty annoyed with Gen Z. However, this was their doing. My understanding is more than half a million tickets were acquired via Tik-Tok purposefully to inflate the expected numbers so the Trump campaign would look like fools when no one showed up. Credit where credit is do.
I'm not sure what you mean. He should have been able to easily have filled 20,000 seats. If it's because of the pandemic or people wising up to this con man I can't say. The following is an actual quote from a president of the United States, "At his rally in Tulsa on Saturday, President Trump called coronavirus testing “a double-edged sword” and said he asked officials to conduct fewer coronavirus tests to keep case numbers down. After claiming the United States has tested 25 million people, Trump said: “When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please!’
From The Washington Post
I mean, the major reason that the Trump campaign believed that over a million people had requested tickets is because there was a TikTok campaign to request tickets. Teenagers in Hawaii, Maine, Washington, Ohio, etc acquired free tickets by the dozens and hundreds to convince the Trump campaign there was going to be a massive crowd.
And, yes, Trump created some great video and soundbites of epic stupidity and callousness. And, of course, if true, manslaughter by the tens of thousands.

If your ego isn’t twice the size of your obese waistline, it wouldn’t take you a NY minute to simply think. Tulsa is a town of 400k, the entire state is 4M. One ‘might’ want to dig deeper before opening your mouth and making yourself look like the fool. But...🤣😂😅
They could have easily followed the CDC, the Surgeon General and Tulsa’s Health Departments recommendation of having an empty seat between everyone with how few people actually attended, plus wear a mask.
Trump and his ilk purposely put people in harms way. He had at least 6 staff plus 2 Secret Service officers infected. The CDC says you infect the most people 2-3 days before you yourself show symptoms, so we don’t yet know how many of the Dumps own inner circle have been infected.
Tulsa Fire Marshall said a little under 6200 for the racism rally yesterday. Failed!
I am sure the Dump is in a great mood for Father’s Day, well for the kids of his he actually likes.
6 people who work for trump tested positive.
is this what they call staff infections?
my best man's family is from Tulsa. I do have to admit, it's a great little town.
But there is a funny story about me and the wife walking around town, but incredibly friendly folks and some real great golf courses.
Well, now 10 people with COVID 19 and counting that Dump sent out to prepare for his failed rally. What a leader.
I think it is fair to assume that Dump will do very well with the vast majority of NASCAR fans this November.
@bman posted:Especially the ones that half nooses in the garages of Black NASCAR drivers.
Oh, wait, there's only one Black NASCAR driver. Should have used the singular above.
Don’t overlook all the flags they had outside plus the air banner flying overhead.
These are Trump’s bread and butter type of people.
He who tires from saluting in the sun says he is going to AZ tomorrow, a state with a huge spike in cases. Perhaps they can hold off urging people there to wear masks for just one more day. And maybe grease the ramps.

And I thought Canadians were polite and mostly pacifistic folk. Just goes to show you.
For anyone in AZ with access to either grease or the ramp... do what you must for the sake of the country. Not wishing injury, just more embarrassment.

Bill's from Chicago. We would never grease a ramp. Hockey sticks are our weapons of choice.
"Adult film star Ron Jeremy charged with four counts of sexual assault."
Apparently this is been a Harvey Weinstein situation where this has been known about him for years, though these are for assaults from 2014 to the present.
The President went to the border wall (paid for by Mexico...NOT) yesterday in Yuma, Arizona, which is around 1.5 hours south of Phoenix by car, IIRC. It was 111 degrees in Phoenix yesterday. The President and the other males in his entourage, other than a military guy dressed in fatigues, all wore suits and ties, or at least a sports coat and tie. Almost none of them wore a hat. Almost none had sunglasses.
Not sure how long they were out in the heat. I'd be outside in a jacket and tie for about 5 seconds in that kind of heat and sun and would collapse.
I've always thought that the state motto of Arizona should be "It's a dry heat."

Who cares about them? How about no masks and jamming people into one his "daddy needs some love" rallies?

At this point the only people who don't accept that the president is a racist and a bigot are those who are racists and bigots themselves.
