Second verse, same as the first…

Edited to add: can you imagine one of these a month, every month, for the duration of his Presidency? Each one exactly the same with only minor differences depending on the outrage of the day.

Get used to it, alas.

I see the Blacks For Trump guy is back. That’s “Michael the Black Man” a/k/a Michael Symonette, a/k/a Maurice Woodside and he’s a member of the Yaweh ben Yaweh cult. He has an interesting history, including arrests for trying to smuggle a pistol on a plane, arrest for grand theft auto, for firing an AK-47 at swimmers in the water near his home, for threatening a police officer, etc etc. How the hell does this guy get security clearance to stand within 10 feet of the President?

Why did any networks cover this barf-fest? Sure, when PotUS gives a speech it gets airtime, but this is candidate Trump. Are they trying to outdo the $2,000,000,000 in free time they gave him last year? Are they all vying for his good graces so he won’t cancel their pending mergers/buy-outs?

So, no report on the cheers and applause? How many were there? Go ahead, give us the breakdown. I’m sure Trump would say it was the biggest rally ever and that he got many standing ovations, but… any eyes and ears on this event, or rather, non-event?

Here’s a photo, just in, of the so-called President addressing his fans.

The problem is 35-40% of the nation believes this crap.

Which leads to the question: were there crowds or was this just a group like you see at a live cookware demo at the fair? Any pink pussy hate?

Shouldn’t the First Lady’s opening prayer be in the news copy?

It’s already old news to us and will become so to The Base soon enough.

They’ll want fresh meat.

Trump reminds me of a wounded animal.

Extremely dangerous.

Because Trump and Bannon want him there as “Trump’s African-American.” As long as he acts adoringly enough, Trump will keep him around. Trump probably asked him to arrange a meeting with the CBC.

This is how I would feel if I were at that rally…

Well that’s obvious. But there is something else going on. A reporter announced that nobody was allowed in with their own signs, they would be stopped by security, so all the signs were provided by the Trump advance men. But I noticed two signs were allowed past the security cordon, several Blacks for Trump signs, and one other. Trump stopped on his way to the podium to talk to someone carrying a big Hillary For Prison sign. Then minutes later, Trump is blathering about uniting the country.
