YMCA? Is this real?

Yes, Trump has been dancing to it at rallies.

I wonder why Peggy Noonan hasn’t called this arrhythmic swaying inappropriate.


I don't think that is dancing.
I guess he's trying to say he is a young man compared to Biden?

Some went to the hospital. The police had to round up airport transport vans to get the rest from the rally site to the parking miles away.


Taxpayer dollar.

Any words of concern from the WH for the many frozen elderly or hospitalized people as a result, anything?

No mention of any concern today for them. In fact this was the tweet first thing this morning:

You should probably ask Jeff to delete your comment. Pathetic indeed.

Trumpers are too stupid to recognize satire.

Honey, that twitter handle IS the woman in the video.

Surprise, surprise - all of this is completely exaggerated. I’ll take the word of Omaha police and others who were actually there.

So much for the 2nd District of Nebraska.

And remember that they weren't wearing masks during transport, either.

That still sounds pretty awful. What’s been overblown?

The facts are true. Yes, what people take away from those facts may differ. Quotes are from your source.

The Omaha Airport Authority said the Trump campaign rented 40 buses to transport people from remote parking lots to the event site and ran them for 10 hours. The bus company confirmed Wednesday that those drivers were paid, deflating another incorrect rumor circulating on social media.


They were not paid at the site, which is why t hey did not return. They have been paid since then -- after the social media outing about the problem.

The anticipated buses were not there. This is why:

OPD said additional Metro Area Transit buses were called in after the event to help transport people away from the rally.

...
Officers also gave rides to elderly and handicapped attendees as they were able, the spokesman said.

There were people still waiting at the site for transport by bus until 11:50 pm, about 3 hours AFTER the rally was over at "about 9pm."

The weather station at the airport recorded the temp as 34 degrees with a wind chill of 27 degrees at 8:52 p.m. Tuesday, with the temperature dropping to 33 degrees with the same wind chill by 11:52 p.m. … The last person leaving the rally site by bus was on board at 11:50 p.m., and pedestrian and vehicle traffic was back to normal by 12:30 a.m., OPD said.


People were taken to the hospital.

Between five and seven people were taken from Tuesday night’s MAGA rally with various medical conditions, authorities said. Others needing medical attention were “contacted by medics over the duration of the event, not just at the end,” the OPD spokesman said.

Maybe they decided that after Trump told the Proud Boys to "Stand back and stand by" and they looked at the new #ProudBoys feed, that they needed to address this new constituency of Trump "supporters".
