where the "Chief of Security" asked someone not to publish his photo, so of course the guy promptly did. It's now all over Twitter. What a sorry looking group. The Dunning-Kruger Militia.

You have the google power. Newsweek states it was small no more than 5000 people. In my channel surfing on Saturday I saw a big crowd much more than your 65 people.

I’ll wait for you to catch up

Because this post is about the rally in Lansing. I googled Newsweek and Lansing rally and got nothing more recent than last year.
