On my facebook, some lady showed a picture of some other rally and tried to say it was pictures of this one and people lied. I told her look around, you will see the real pictures pretty quick. He and everyone associated with him seem to lie, jeez.

if you listen to those folks interviewed, it is amazing the level of falsehoods they believe. it is way more like a cult than anything I have ever seen in popular culture.

I'm pretty sure we will get a Cocoa Beach, Florida Proboards update here tomorrow about the massive turnout in Tulsa and how there were 60,000 trumpers in the arena and another 350,000 in the spillover venues cheering "trump, trump, trump, forever!" He may be crying in his beer today since there was no "lock her up" chant. No mention of frog marching President Obama, Hillary, and all the deep state to prison. Never fear though, the rag tag bunch of conservative misfits are still on the case!

Apparently they did get some video of Trump walking gingerly down the ramp at his recent west point talk, so that Trump could explain how he had shows with leather soles and he didn't want to fall on his behind, plus some pictures of his awkward two handed water bottle handling, so he could explain how he drinks water that way because he doesn't want to get water on his tie. Because I guess he makes his ties out of water soluble paper or something. Certainly glad he stuck to the important topics in his speech.

Saw a meme which explains why trump had problems holding the glass of water up to his yapper with his right hand: he burned his right hand holding up that bible several weeks earlier.

I watched that whole part on the water, the shoes, the ramp.
First off was the lengthy description of the 600 salutes he did, in the very hot sun, for the 550 pairs of West Point grads....with full elaboration Trump style.
Then it was on to his leather soles shoes not suitable for walking down a slick metal ramp with no handrails that he referred to as being like an ice rink. Full blah blah blah attached with numerous references to the fake news. He claimed they all stopped the video before he ran the last ten feet, just to make him look bad.
Then it was time for the very expensive red silk tie he didn’t want to spill water on and had the very tired right arm because of the 600 salutes in the very hot sun so he used his left hand to preserve the integrity of his tie. Followed by picking up a glass right handed, drinking some, and then defiantly flinging the glass stage right. The cultists squealed with delight.
The entire skit made him look like a pathetic, whining loser of a man.

Tulsa Fire Department says Trump rally attendance was about 6,2000
Just under 6,200 people attended President Trump's campaign rally at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla., on Saturday night, the Tulsa Fire Department said. Andrew Little, the public information officer for the city fire department, told Forbes that a fire marshal recorded the tally, which indicated that the event fell far short of reaching the arena's full capacity of 19,000.

I wonder how much control he has with his right hand. Take a look at the video. He has his little finger crooked under the base of the glass for support as he lifts it. Who does that? And, instead of setting the glass back down and possibly spilling it, he opts to theatrically fling the glass to the side.

And saying Biden isn't a whiny B*tch!

Apologies to Tom Waits Well, you gassed the crowd at the church With your arm up holding upside down your borrowed Bible Movin' 'cross the boulevard We're lookin' for some heart on Saturday night
You got moved off Friday And your nerves are jinglin' and don't see the lights You get all tinglin' 'cause you're taking the stage at 6 We're lookin' for some heart on Saturday night
Then you comb over your hair, spray tan your face Tryin' to wipe out every trace of the Obama days In the weak hope that this'll be the Saturday You're reachin' your peak
Spillin' on the red tie, you're goin' to turn green 'Cause tonight'll be the smallest crowd, you've ever seen And you're barrelin' down a slippery ramp We're lookin' for some heart on Saturday night
Tell me, is it the crack of your balls, 'cause no one's buzzin'?…

As I mentioned before, I can't trust my grip. It happens to some as we age. Years ago I watched my aging old fighter pilot Commanding Officer drop a Styrofoam cup of coffee. It was amazing. The cup fell. Then the coffee. The cup fell straight down onto its bottom. He still knew how to stay level on the horizon. All the coffee fell into the cup. There was a small wave that did come back out and a single drop hit the pants leg of his white uniform. Someone quickly handed him the cup, he thanked them, looked at the spot, frowned, turned and walked out towards his bathroom. As a young man, I learned something important about dignity that day.

<<Also no mention of George Floyd, Juneteenth, or the ongoing coronavirus (just how we beat the coronavirus). >> Aw, he let Melania cover the Juneteenth thing for him. And you thought stupidity and tone-deafness was not contagious? Oh, but it is. A masterful stroke of utter idiocy -- the woman who followed in her husband's jack-booted footsteps and claimed along with the conspiracy theorists that Barack Obama's birth certificate was a fake, reading from a book about slavery?
You have your mother effing nerve, you brainless bed warmer. You're no better than he is, sitting on your gilded couch in your opulent room. Really. We all remember the "I Don't Care Do U" Slogan on that now-infamous jacket you wore. Now we know how true it is.
The first lady took to Twitter to read “All Different Now” by Angela Johnson, which tells the story of Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the end of slavery, through the eyes of a young girl. In the tweet, Trump also reminisced about a trip to Ghana where she toured the House of Slaves, a place where millions of kidnapped Africans were held before being forced onto slave ships bound for the New World...Many Twitter users found the first lady’s video insensitive for a variety of reasons, but especially because of her past support of the racist “birther” conspiracy theory championed by her husband, President Donald Trump, that falsely claimed that former President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.

While Stephen Colbert has been filming his show from home during the virus crisis, I do miss Laura Benanti's impersonations of Melania trump. It has been probably 18 months since she did the last one on Colbert's show.

OK, now I am curious. Trump practically set his own hair on fire blowing up every time Alec Baldwin did him on SNL. Melania gets toasted on TV and not a peep out of him? Not at all insulted, mad, furious or p.o.'ed about someone daring to skewer his wifey?
Oh, wait, never mind....nothing about her interests him, really. She's not human after all; just a placeholder until the next new younger model shows up.

When has he ever defended her, or even gotten angry when she did something and the press called her on it? He doesn’t care about anyone other than himself, he doesn’t give a shit about her, other than arm candy.

trump is joking and referring Covid-19 to his adoring fans as 'Kung Flu'. Where's the respect for the sick and the dead. Just heard on CNN a guest commentator..{don't ask name , didn't catch it} mentioned that historians down the road , say 10 to 50 years down the road , in examining the results of Trumps lack of actions or poor administrations of proper care to limit effects of the virus.... there may be tens of thousands of deaths in our country alone..."tens of thousands" There are already nearly 120,000 and it will be over 200,000 before the end of the year.

Approximately 10,000 Americans died from H1N1 in a 12 month period. Meanwhile 122,000 Americans have died in the past 100 plus days from Covid-19 under trump. Many trump supporters seem to like that trump dig at Biden.

Many trump supporters seem to like that trump dig at Biden. What’s even more funny was that Obama chose someone who actually knew about disease to run his task force, NOT his VP. Just because tRump chose an inadequate person does not make this comparable. The sign of a good leader is to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of your administration, and use those to your advantage. Why would you choose someone clueless to run a highly technical operation? That’s the move of an idiot......or someone who does not give a shit, both apply.

If they counted flu deaths only by positive tests, like Covid... it would only be 3-15K a year.

Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Offers Stimulus Checks to Anyone Willing to Come to His Next RallyBy Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Borowitz Report)—Hoping to avert another debacle like the one at his rally in Tulsa, Donald J. Trump said on Tuesday that he was offering economic-stimulus checks to anyone willing to come to his next rally, in Arizona. Displaying a sample check in the Oval Office, Trump said that he hoped eventually to put millions of unemployed Americans back to work as full-time audience members at his rallies. “The dishonest media are saying that people wouldn’t go to one of my rallies if I paid them,” Trump said. “Well, we’ll see about that.” Larry Kudlow, Trump’s economic adviser, said that the twelve-hundred-dollar stimulus checks would be paid “in installments, based on how long the recipients actually stay at the rally.” Rest of article here: Trump Offers Stimulus Checks to Anyone Willing to Come to His Next Rally

More satire-from The Onion: White House Announces Entire U.S. Populace Of 6,200 Attended Trump’s Tulsa RallyWASHINGTON—Seeking to counter the narrative put forward by the mainstream media, the Trump administration announced Monday that the entire U.S. populace of 6,200 had attended the president’s recent rally in Tulsa. “Despite what the fake news at CNN and MSNBC would have you believe, President Trump was honored by the fact that every citizen of the United States, nearly 7,000 people, showed up to this historic event,” said Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, noting that unscrupulous news outlets had seized on the fact that the Bank of Oklahoma Center is a large stadium whose capacity was several times that of the U.S population in order to discredit the president. “It’s unfortunate that the media would take a beautiful event like this, at which every single person in America turned out to show their love of President Trump, and make it into something negative. It’s particularly pathetic given that, of course, every member of every network and newspaper was also in attendance.” McEnany went on to clarify that any people seen walking around outside the arena during the rally were in fact illegal immigrants from Mexico.
