    “Trump Livid” is a phrase I want to hear more and more in coming months… Keep praying for the little blood-clot that could…

      Nah, he’s gotta live long enough to be impeached, removed, and imprisoned. Gotta live ling enough to rot in jail and watch his empire crumble into nothingness. Gotta live long enough to see every instance of his name removed, his children jailed and broke, his legacy ash.

      …then he can die.

        We’d have to purge all the traitors and Neo confederates who work with him too, since we didn’t after the civil war.

    Trump later wrote on Truth Social that the crowd had been “packed to the brim” with “at least 45,000 people.”

    The fact that anyone believes such an obvious pathological liar continues to shock me to my core.

      I used to think Orwell was being a bit hyperbolic about the party holding up 4 fingers and demanding people seeing 5.

      But Republicans and conservatives do this without even being tortured.

        Yeah. I hadn’t read the book since my early twenties and decided now (at 50) I wanted to take another read through because of all the crap going on, and it’s honestly terrifying how press releases and especially Karoline Leavitt sounds straight up newspeak and rewriting the narrative whenever possible.

        It’s only a matter of time before they get a department going whose sole job is to go back into historical documents to re-write old news articles to show that they’ve always been right.

          They are effectively already doing that by tearing down installations at parks that are insufficiently grateful for slavery.

        Hitler called it “the Big Lie”, with the idea being that you tell a lie that’s so outrageous that people will find it easier to believe the lie than that you’d have the audacity to tell a lie that outrageous

      I avoided a really cool pubic concert on the National mall because there were 750k people. Even at 45k, that is not by any means packed.

    Ask yourself this simple question, “DO YOU THINK THAT OBUMA OR SLEEPY JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE DONE IT?” THE ANSWER IS NO!:

    lol if either one did something similar (to the event’s original plans–a party to celebrate 250), it’d be jam-packed capacity crowds, and thousands hundreds of thousands more converging on d.c. and a-list stars would be lining up to take part.

      He’s really sticking with “sleepy Joe” after he’s been caught sleeping on camera 4 or 5 times now? Just absolutely zero self-awareness.

      Biden would have let the original plan go through with the Smithsonian in charge instead. It’s fucked up because Trump needed to grift and you only get Fyre Festivals from the level of grift he requires.

      I mean if he wanted big crowds he would actually have to pull a George soros. It’s not like DC is his target demographic, and the majority of his constituents that would be interested in attending any kind of event open to the public are not exactly the most affluent people in the world.

      The only way he’d get a ton of people showing up for a fair in DC is if he paid for busses. That’s kind of why jan 6 stands out soo much, it takes a lot of coordination to get that much white trash to the capital.

    They’re going to simultaneously blame it on the heat and say it was packed to the brim. MAGA will accept the excuse no matter what.

    Who do they trust? Their lying eyes, or Trump?

    Crowd size assumes a crowd. His “State” fair in a city that is not a State is lightly attended, and it’s less attended than that space normally is on a summer day.
