The Trump Show/Alabama rally

Trump came on stage, said hello, crowed over the crowd size, badmouthed the fake news, boasted his big Alabama win and at 43 seconds into his speech, reminded everyone the election was rigged...43 seconds. I switched channels back to fake news MSNBC...

former guy rally, while your state's hospitals are literally full from the infectious pandemic ravaging your state, outside and there are thunderstorms, seven months after he was out of the WH, is a good use of your Saturday.

To every single person at that rally: I'm glad I don't know you. Let's keep it that way.

In their daily life, they ain't finding the life-affirming feedback they need. These events are as much for their collective mental health as they are for Trump's ego.

"Cullman County, Alabama has reported having 11 staffed adult ICU beds and 12 are currently filled. Due to the low number of beds, we do not report ICU capacity used data."

Hmm... That's sure to cost them a Michelin star.

I'm marking this one 'bypass' on my World tour.

I just wanted to see how long it took him to say the election was rigged.

I found a link, with some of his comments.


"You know what, we have to go in and we should go in when it’s right and we now may have to be forced to go in, … we may be forced to go in, and we may not be forced, but we may be forced to go in, and if you’re not prepared to go in..."


Is that incoherent gibberish or what?

Do not be fooled - he is still telling them to overthrow the Federal government but making sure he covers his fat ass at the same time.

he's encouraging a second insurrection, while trying (with his limited vocabulary) to tap dance around outright saying it.

When he finds something that works, he repeats it over and over again. You'd think his followers would get bored and tired of the redundancy.
