FFS!!! Dozens already lined up for Saturday's Trump rally in Sarasota, FL

(The guy could shoot people and they would still come ...)

https://www.wfla.com/news/sarasota-county/dozens-already-lined-up-for-saturday-trump-rally-in-sarasota/

SARASOTA, Fla. (WFLA) — Dozens of people have already begun lining up at the Sarasota Fairgrounds in preparation for former President Donald Trump’s visit Saturday.

When 8 On Your Side was at the fairgrounds, people were already parking their vehicles and camping out in preparation for the former president’s speech.

Trump is scheduled to speak at 8 p.m. with a 9 p.m. fireworks show to follow at 9 p.m. Sarasota police warn drivers that traffic delays are possible throughout the day.

One person who won’t be in attendance will be Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is now focusing on assisting rescue efforts in Surfside.

I'm currently about 60 miles north of Sarasota, and we had a storm blow through about 6PM yesterday that was raining at a rate of 5 inches/hour, along with some ferocious lightning strikes and long-lasting, rolling thunderboomers.

I'd say you can count on some of that same kind of weather in Sarasota tomorrow.

door.

And two, DeSantis is cynically exploiting the deaths of 160 people (to avoid being seen with Trump without offending him or MAGAts). There is nothing he's personally doing about Surfside which really requires his physical presence. He could certainly be in Sarasota if he wanted to be, he's just hiding behind dead people. Fucking ghoul.

But the bus probably won't run him over, just knock him to remind him who's Alpha of this pack and he better by there is sniff backside and bare his throat when required, especially after daring to request Trump cancelled his all important rally for something so meaningless as other's suffering.

DeSantis is pulling out ahead of Trump as the preferred republican nominee for 2024, so maybe he's seeing a chance here to differentiate himself and become his own person apart from the Trump cult.

covid during the 2020 campaign rallies that now he's back for an encore with Delta.

Would be interesting if he got a breakthrough infection with Delta. They occur more often in people over 65 who have comorbidities. If it's Delta Plus, monoclonal antibodies, like he received before, don't work as a treatment.

It might be too early for Sarasota to close down the fairgrounds but.. “out of an abundance of concern “.. who paid for the permits?

made up to look like JFK Jr. show up at one of these rallies and record the reactions. Maybe as a Trevor Noah segment with Jordan Klepper.
