Omaha fiasco

[brettdale]

He of course will spin it, Faux News will spin it.

But this is a huge organization failure.

Elderly people stranded, nearly a dozen so far needing medical attention.

Enjoy ya night trump supporters.

[yonder]

1. Who's tRump going to blame first?

Hillary, Covid, BLM, Obama, Gyna?

[moonscape]

20. Hunter. n/t

[pecosbob]

2. Soros had Antifa steal their buses for immigrant convoys

[Mariana]

6. That's probably pretty close to what these victims will come up with

to excuse their cult leader from any responsibility for this.

3. ...

14. They're rounding the curve

[fishwax]

4. I only hope this is indicative of the ground game they're so confident in

[world wide wally]

5. Is America great again yet?

[GusBob]

7. I think it's kinda funny

I dont think anyone is going to be seriously hurt

Those buses were COVID traps anyway

I'd bet those folks will be laughing about the night for awhile

One of the scanner quotes cracked me up: " looks like (x) needs a course in remedial traffic control"

[brush]

13. It's below freezing. 12 elderly have been hospitalized from...

being stranded in the cold and miles from their cars. It's not a laughing matter.

[GusBob]

15. I couldn't care less about them worthless losers

They can rot in hell

Nobody forced them to go

[brush]

16. O-k-a-a-a-a-y. That's not much different than repugs not caring...

about the covid deaths. They're old people left in the freezing cold while trump jetted away on Air Force One.

[Mariana]

18. Have they actually been admitted into hospital?

Or were they transported, treated, and sent home?

[sarcasmo]

8. Hillary Clinton stole the buses.

[Blue Owl]

9. Jared said they have to WANT to be successful

Those lazy fucks just think they can get free rides like Jared does???

[flibbitygiblets]

10. We wouldn't want any "socialist" public transportation giving them free rides, now!

And you first responders! Let these enterprising go-getters pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fix their own medical problems! If you don't stop coddling them, how will they ever learn to succeed on their own?

[Grokenstein]

11. Don-Don's handlers should've gone back and driven past the crowd

while Don-Don threw mittens to them.

[UCmeNdc]

12. Typical Trump......

[AlexSFCA]

17. poetic justice to his supporters

they are the root cause of their misery and trump is a delivery mechanism.

[ucrdem]

19. Yep. They will blame the AA bus driver, or the lady with the accent at the airport

If all else fails they'll blame themselves, but that's unlikely. They'll find a scapegoat and give it a kick, that is if they make it out of the hellhole they happily jumped into.

Seen this movie before. That doesn't mean it isn't sad of course, just deeply ironic.

[Coventina]

21. These people are voting for kids in cages, killing our Black citizens, destroying the environment,

ad nauseum...

And they chose to go to an event to celebrate those things.

If they die, they died on their own swords.

[tapper]

22. And Trump was apparently an hour late...

Just to make any misery worse. Plus a roughly hour-long meander of a speech.

I’m wondering if there won’t be a flu spike as well as COVID. Not to mention colds and pneumonia. (Granted, the folks there should know how to dress for the temperature, but still...)

[dalton99a]

23. Decent people don't attend Klan rallies

[Grokenstein]

24. Wonkette! Ernst! Bags!

Trump Traps Thousands Of Freezing Nebraska Supporters In On-The-Nose Metaphor

Omaha Scanner (...) noted that people were still trying to get in even after the rally ended. Guess that's terrible news for Joe Biden, whose events never seem to resemble a frantic attempt to load cattle onto a train for the slaughterhouse.

Haha, we are kidding: Joe Biden's rallies are almost certainly meticulously organized, no doubt incorporating detailed logistical plans first put forward by Elizabeth Warren during the primary.

But don't expect any of the frost-nipped attendees to think any less of the Great Man simply because a rally a week before Election Day summed up how he's run the country. They've all got Stockholm syndrome. Comedian Blaire Erskine satirically channels what many Trump voters no doubt felt.

Also a very sad development: While a number of Republicans from next-door Iowa were at the viral event, Sen. Joni Ernst, who's in a close race against Democratic challenger Theresa Greenfield, didn't even get to speak at the rally. The Great Man mentioned her from the stage, but that's all, even though several other pols from neighboring states were invited to speak before Trump. How very sad for her.

No word on how exactly Ernst left the event afterward, or whether she was stuck standing in the cold. It seems unlikely, but we bet she could have kept her feet warm by putting bread bags over her shoes.

Ha! Even the most joyless holier-than-thou thoughtcrime-chasing scolds would have to admit, that's funny.
