YMCA? Is this real?


Yes, Trump plays this at his rallies. Probably because he knows his supporters are not that bright.

Glad the bus company wised up.


Except the PP is lying about the bus companies not being paid. Notice, no link? But I have one:

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.

So would this be a problem if a bus company (and/or the construction contractors for his buildings) had gone unpaid at a different event, or is it only a problem if it happened at this event? Just chekcing.

The bus supervisor quote was from late last night. The WOWT report came out at 1 pm today. You don’t think that a campaign with a massive PR problem could have paid them during that interim period?

And it misses the point, which was they didn’t arrange for the buses to be there long enough. This is inevitable when your candidate is late for everything.

The local police go unpaid — or “defunded” if you will — for the extra security they provide at nearly every event of his. His inaugural committee slush fund still owes DC money from four years ago. It never seems to bother his supporters, though.

This should alarm you.


You’re right. Democrats are not willing to gather in large crowds during a deadly pandemic. And our candidate isn’t stupid or selfish enough to ask us to. That’s definitely the take-away.

Trump could leave people to die of hypothermia in the freezing cold and they'll still use their frost bitten hands to vote Trump.


Any chance the bus drivers decided to do this on purpose?

You think Trump’s staff is a bunch of liberals? That’s a new take for refusing to accept responsibility in supporting a terrible party.

40 bus drivers just up and decided to do this? Sounds like campaign incompetence rather than a conspiracy.

Yes, Nebraska is populated with a plethora of politically-aware, liberal bus drivers, waiting for their grand moment to strand some Trump supporters at an event. That's believeable.

I can tell you this.

Michael Cohen is not surprised.

A con man keeps finding suckers, and these rally goers were the latest suckers.

Trump is a master at manipulation.

Sounds like Trumpsters are desperate to come with the lamest a$$ excuses to deflect the Trump team incompetence that seems to be never ending. LOL

1. People ignoring CV to ride on packed buses to the rally. They may or may not have refused to wear masks.
2. Issues with the buses which may be because the campaign doesn’t pay its bills (someone upthread claims that is just a rumor).
3. Rally with AF1 in the background - clear violation of the ethics rules
4. Really poor logistics planning for the event - brought to you by the same folks that managed our coronavirus response.
5. Trump supporters telling us that Trump should get none of the blame here because “people made their own choices”
6. Bail out from the massive planning f-up by taxpayers in getting the rally-goers home
7. Trump supporters hospitalized


+1


Sums it up nicely.

Drawing flies is a sign of the devil.
