Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[malaise]

So far less than 100 MAGAban goons have arrived for the rally
The reporter on M$BComcast was talking about the Slobfather's rally playlist and Cross suggested that they play Celine Dion's All By Myself

5. Good one, that is what they need to be now & forever - total LOSERS!

[malaise]

8. Video unavailable here

post the name of the song

[Tommymac]

18. The Beatle's 'I'm A Loser'

[malaise]

20. Perfect

Thanks

[alfredo]

84. or this ditty from Beck

[lastlib]

34. Also "One" (is the Loneliest Number......)

[lastlib]

37. And Bobby Vinton--"Mr. Lonely"

And "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

The battle of Gettysburg has heen called the "high-water mark of the Confederacy." Maybe the insurrection was the high-water mark of the Confederacy of Dunces.

[malaise]

68. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[malaise]

70. Good pick - just for you

[BobTheSubgenius]

52. Fool On The Hill.

And a number from Ashley MacIssac that's good for all occasions: What An Idiot He Is. I think the line "Miracle Whip sandwiches on Wonder Bread" is particularly apt.

[malaise]

73. A classic song for every occasion

[BobTheSubgenius]

74. They speak for every generation, don't they?

59. I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams. nt

[rambler_american]

90. Clowns to the left of me

Jokers to the right.

[Jon King]

2. They have been saying in their Facebook groups that it was a set up.

Last edited Sat Sep 18, 2021, 12:08 PM - Edit history (1)

The past few weeks they have been telling each other not to go because it was a set up by the feds to get their information and track them. So I doubt it will be a huge turn out.

[Mossfern]

3. There's a word or phrase for that

when you make excuses before the fact.
Can't remember what it is.

[Cozmo]

9. Now this is gonna bug me for the rest of day. All I can think of gaslighting? paranoia?

[Cozmo]

12. Rationalization?

[Cozmo]

13. Equivocate?

[wnylib]

58. Dissembling?

[KS Toronado]

16. " when you make excuses before the fact"

Is that what's called being a reQublicOn?

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Something like they never intended to show up in the first place because

they're full of shyte. The set up was on their part.

[c-rational]

41. Ye doth protest too much.

[carpetbagger]

42. Pre-rationalization? Nt

[Brother Buzz]

44. Self-fulfilling prophecy?

[skypilot]

61. Hedging?

*

[joetheman]

32. Be careful about MAGAs pretending to be ANTIFA or BLM and starting some crap to blame

the counter protestors.

[IronLionZion]

4. The current administration might be a bit less lenient

than the last one. These MAGAts don't want to join their buddies in prison.

[dixiegrrrrl]

62. Honestly, I think that may be an important factor.

The old thinking of " they'll never be able to find me in this crowd" and " they can't arrest us all" did not work.

The rapid and dogged FBI response had to be a bit of a damper.

[NJCher]

94. rather than make fools of themselves

and have this embarrassing show, or no-show, they should have just called the whole thing off.

[Justice matters.]

6. Imagine how much 'preparations' cost the taxpayers...

Of course republiQans don't care.

[malaise]

10. THIS

They don't care

[jimfields33]

27. This has been mentioned that it was going to be nothing for weeks.

Social media and many sources predicted this. Why spend so much money on nothing?

[LanternWaste]

39. Which sources?

Or simply another "I read it somewhere..."?

[jimfields33]

54. Dang good reply.

[hadEnuf]

53. They need to understand fully that their insurrectionist BS will not be tolerated.

And it doesn't matter how much money is spent to make that crystal clear.

They have shown themselves to be the vermin cowards they really are because they know they will not be facing terrified office workers hiding under their desks. They will be facing patriotic men and women who are strong and armed and will take zero of their terrorist antics.

And they need to remember this each and every day.

[Nay]

102. Agreed. Putting up the fence and having the National Guard and local cops on speed dial

(and letting everyone know that the govt. was ready for any shenanigans) has effectively shut this shit down. Good.

[H2O Man]

7. Recommended.

Gracious!

[malaise]

19. This reminds me of the Bush days when there were more

Porta-potties than protesters

[captain queeg]

11. It's what I expected for a few reasons

I’m hoping when history looks back at TFG, the Jan 6 revolt will prove to be the peak and inflection point. It’s all downhill for the RW nutjobs from here. I hope the fall proves to be deep and permanent.

[malaise]

14. They knew this flop was coming today

and ran away from their own rally.
Like you I agree that it's all downhill for him but I'm sure they'll find another messiah!

[lastlib]

40. "The High-Water Mark of the Confederacy of Dunces"

See post #37 above.

[spanone]

22. K&R

[BlueWavePsych]

23. K&R

[Johnny2X2X]

24. Anti American terrorists

I wish the media would call this what it is. A bunch of terrorists who support the overthrowing of America’s democracy. No one hates America more than these scumbags.

[marble falls]

25. I wonder how many are wearing white sox and black shoes? Supposedly by the late 60s ...

... one out of every four KKKer was an informant.

[Sympthsical]

26. The media played this way up as well

Chaos = ratings

I can't say I've been closely following any of the coverage, but I was expecting at least 10,000 people minimum to hear all the headlines and reporting on it.

Shame. I hope cable news has some alternative programming in place. How many channels do you reckon expected to spend all day on this? Also, how many do you figure will spend all day on it anyway?

[malaise]

28. CNN asshole a second ago

It looks like a Black Lives Matter protester - I can't really tell.
He was talking about a scuffle with counter-protesters. He's a fucking hack making up an non-existent incident.

Still about 100 of them per CNN

[Sympthsical]

35. Ah, a canoe incident!

That's what I call things like that, because what you're describing always remind me of this.

We really need to get that into our cultural vocabulary in some way.

A Canoe Story - A minor incident blown out of proportion by a reporter in order to generate interest.

Cable news in general are masters at canoeing.

[True Blue American]

48. MSNBC trying it's best

To make it look like the biggest event ever!

[Beartracks]

89. It was a media-wide "geraldo."

I don't know if it's been done before, but I'm using "geraldo" as a word for what happens when you hype up something that turns into a nothingburger. (e.g. Geraldo Rivera's "big reveal" of Capone's vault back in the day.)

============

[The King of Prussia]

29. My suggestion

Little River Band - Lonesome Loser

[malaise]

30. Good pick

[Roy Rolling]

86. I like this

They don’t deserve the Beatles. 😂

[lees1975]

95. My video creativity is kicking in

as I listen to this. I'm going to use it as background music and gather a collage of trumpie photos for a slide/video presentation, starting with all of the empty space for his inauguration. Got some good shots at a trump rally in 206 in Youngstown when they pushed everyone in the gym where he was speaking into a few sections of bleachers to make it look full. Thanks for the inspiration. It should be fun.

[The King of Prussia]

96. Sounds fantastic!

PLEASE let us see it!

[Jon King]

33. Football Saturday is a poor time for a MAGA rally.

This myth that there are millions of these people just waiting to fight for Trump has always been crap. The hard cores were mostly arrested Jan 6th. The rest are just keyboard warriors or want to yell at middle aged school board members. None of them will do a thing today with that police presence.

And besides, its football Saturday. Few of these guys would miss a game for Trump, let alone fight for him. But they will vote in 2024, so that we have to be ready for.

[orangecrush]

36. They were told by their cult leaders not to go

I wish they had all showed up, so those still wanted for 1/6 could be spotted and arrested, and the rest photographed and investigated.

They will probably continue to make feints like this, to drain resources, and get the Capital police to lower their guard for when they are serious.

[kairos12]

38. I suggest "It's the end of the world...."

[malaise]

69. This version?

Where are my MAGAban goons?

[kairos12]

85. That' a great one.

I had this one in mind.

Mainly because the debris laden room in the 1st minute probably reflects the Chump WH as he screamed at the TV after the election.

[bluescribbler]

43. Or, maybe,

Alone Again, Naturally? Gilbert O'Sullivan

[GopherGal]

49. Julie Brown - I Like 'Em Big and Stupid

[link:

|]

Not a perfect fit, but not too far off the mark in supporting a man who said "I love the uneducated".

[malaise]

75. Great pick

[SleeplessinSoCal]

45. Enough of the sideshow!!

Get indictments ready for Trump and his cronies/traitors.

Wake up Merrick Garland if necessary.

[orangecrush]

60. Shhhhh!

You'll awaken the flying monkeys!

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. Laugh Out Loud funny.

That's not easy to do on an early Sunday morning.



Edit: It's so early for me that I forgot it was Saturday.

I also had trouble making my fingers type "Saturday." And again.

[True Blue American]

47. Huge, Big

Massive crowd, biggest crowd, ever,

[mopinko]

50. why did the phrase

sloppy seconds just pop into my mind. i wonder.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

51. For the record (see what I did there)

"All by Myself" was written by Eric Carmen, sort of, with a huge assist by Rachmaninoff) and by all accounts, he is a trumper...go figure...

Once again, taxpayers are on the hook for a republican shit show.

[malaise]

71. Nicely played

[oswaldactedalone]

55. About 200 terrorists

have shown so far. Hope the FBI is infiltrating and surveilling these losers for additional arrests.

[wnylib]

63. I'd be surprised if they weren't.

Imagine a protester bragging to an undercover agent about how great Jan 6 was and how dumb the FBI are for never catching him.

[SergeStorms]

64. Those are probably all FBI agents...

looking for some MAGAts to infiltrate.

Look for fake beards, new "old" clothes, and white sneakers. MAGAts like Doc Martin's and other worn work boots.

[cayugafalls]

56. May I submit for an addition to the Playlist

In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Ivermectin in my veins, and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flaming with the loser in the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the Vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat
Someone came, saying I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a MAGAT on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Saving all your food stamps and burning down the trailer park
Yo, cut it

[malaise]

92. Impressive

[MiHale]

57. The organizers of this side show...

Are already saying…”it’s not about the numbers”

In an interview reported by the Washington Post on Friday night, the former Donald Trump official claimed, "Already this rally is a success," adding "there's going to be so much media," before claiming. "It's not really a numbers game, it's a message game."

Great rationale, small minds…big dreams.

[orleans]

65. hal sparks said there are more

videographers than there are people at the rally

[Marcuse]

66. It's a diversion. Secure the POTUS.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

67. Shows to go ya

No one there on a Saturday, huh?

The intent on a working day, January 6th
was murder.

[malaise]

76. It was a little more than that - Jan 6 was certification of elections day

not just a workday and yes the plan was a full blown coup and murder.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

78. At the J6 rally on the Mall, protesters are outnumbered by reporters

Link to tweet

[AllaN01Bear]

79. still way too many, but i think the line of giant dump trucks as

erstaz blockade was brill.

[sheshe2]

80. More would have come, if they could...

Sadly many of them are either in jail, intubated or six feet under.

[Champp]

82. The Republican Slobfather & Suckups can't get it up.

So this is what losers do on loser-appreciation day. I hope they all got Participation Certificates.

[malaise]

83. LOL

The best treatment before prison is ridicule- even CNN is laughing at Slobby and his goons today - ridicule the fools.

[Skittles]

87. here!

[malaise]

88. Love it

Big time

[PJMcK]

91. Alone Again, Naturally

Gilbert O'Sullivan from the 1970s:

[malaise]

93. bluescribbler also picked that one

I am amazed at how many of these songs I can sing from memory

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

97. Those 100 goons got a lot of attention and cost a lot of money

100 goons, 1000 cops, 1000 reporters.

Plus, fences put up around Capitol, Supreme Court. Mayte White House, too, but I don't remember.

Lots of resources spent for a dumb show.

[malaise]

100. Not at the WH but you're right

Lots of resources for a dumb show

[malaise]

101. Not at the WH but you're right

Lots of resources for a dumb show

[Ford_Prefect]

98. A Pity Party if ever there was one. Rather like Kevin of the "We didn't do nothin' wrong" club.

[tavernier]

99. Freddie knows...

[malaise]

103. Ha

Good pick

[LetMyPeopleVote]

104. Lack of protesters at Justice for J6 rally was due to them clogging up hospital beds instead
