I also liked the follow-up article where they say that Trump was "both sad
and angry" after the rally last night, accompanied by video of him walking
across the lawn from the helicopter to the WH, head hanging low. One of his
advisors called the low turnout an "ego buster".

No one ever said losing would be easy. I hope he holds up.

The media posted it, therefore, it must be factual.

I just read that Donald, Ivanka, and Jared are all pissed at Brad Parscale
for overhyping the interest. They deny being pissed, but "a source" says
Brad misled them about the number of people who would be there. Could
Parscale's days be numbered?

Of course.

Of course.

Always blame someone. AFter all, it's not like any of the three of
them could remember that there is a virus and not everyone will risk
death just for the chance to cheer on the orange fatman.

Perfect example of fake news.

Reminds me when I was a kid a local creek was storm flooded and on TV it
looked like the world was under water. I went to see it, yes creek was
flooded but all around it was dry. TV did not show surrounds.

Probably. Trump chewed him out big time a couple weeks ago when Brad
told the emperor that his poll numbers suck in the key states. Trump
figures that's Brad's fault since Trump is totally awesome and doing everything right.
The interesting question is if Brad and company who really do seem to be
very sharp when it comes to online election work were really done in by
a bunch of teenagers putting in fake requests for tickets? Or did they
know, but no one would tell Trump that they didn't believe that many people
were really requesting tickets?

There is an interesting dynamic here, which is that in the end, Trump is just
a one trick clown. You see this with leadership in corporations too. The
really great leaders can learn, adapt, make changes, adopt new methods.
The bad ones can't. That's the difference between CEOS like Andy Grove
and Jack Welch or Ken Olson at DEC. Trump only knows his same old act
and suddenly the landscape is shifting and it's not working anymore.
Trump's idea is to triple down on the old routine of lies, insults and
division. We'll see how that goes.

I've seen multiple pundits basically saying exactly what you're saying.
They're trying to run the 2016 playbook again, and why not since it
obviously worked in 2016, except that the landscape has shifted and it's
not 2016 anymore.

Trump says farmers are better off than they ever have been. Yet, crops are
rotting and being destroyed and livestock is being slaughtered instead of
sent to market.

Trump says blacks are better off than they ever have been. No one's buying
that.

Then you have immigration, the wall, and a jillion other clusterf**ks, all
resonating in the background while Trump says, "Vote for me. What have you
got to lose?" An awful lot, as it turns out. An awful lot.

Well put.

Staff at the WH are no longer required to wear masks even when not at
their desks.

The tent used to check visitors' temperature when arriving at th eWH has
been torn down and temps will not be tested. NOR iihc will they have to
wear masks.

I guess the goal is to go by what they learned at the Tulsa rally even t
hough it's only been two days and we don't know what the lesson was.

But the lemmings and haters will always believe it because it fits their
agenda and justifies their continuing hatred.

I remember what they did to George Zimmerman showing a picture of his
head tinted red to mask the banging of his head from Trayvon Martin and
gypping the 911 call.

Glad 99.9% or Oklahoma stayed away


Trump and his cult have an encyclopedic ignorance.


Glad he will soon be gone.

Ed Pawlowski has brought this to us :
Not the same thing, but I'm reminded of an on camera reporter at a riot
apparently had set up in a cloud of tear gas but as he started his
spiel the wind changed and left him on the sidewalk with the cloud
behind him as he tried and tried to get himself back into the cloud for
effect.

Is that the best you have Bobby? You need to work on you method of

I think I saw that snippet at one time.

One of my favorites was the interview by Nancy Grace to Ashleigh
Banfield. It was a split screen interview as if they were in different
cities, but then vehicles were seen in the background of Ashleigh, then
it appeared in the back ground of Nancy to discover they were both in
the same parking lot.

They'll do anything for ratings.
