President Donald Trump’s campaign manager tweeted Friday that 200,000 people — soon revised up to 300,000 people — registered for tickets for Trump’s June rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The rally has been shifted to the next day, June 20th.
Also, why is Trump holding a rally in OK? Does he think he needs to pick up votes?
ETA.
No way the Orange Pusweevil authored those tweets.
So the dump campaign is too stupid to know when the tickets are sold out?
Oh I see if 300,000 tickets are sold 300,000 were there, end of story
There’s a name for that: Mail fraud. (Even over the 'net its still mail fraud)
There’s another name: Stupidity.
Those 280,000 unable to attend will get a package of Trump steaks (circa 2007)?
Supposedly all hotels are booked in Jacksonville for the event. They’re bringing in cruises ships. What could possibly go wrong?
Bunker Boy needs a ‘safe space’ to rant and rave.
He is, in every sense of their own term, a ‘snowflake’s SNOWFLAKE’
Big deal. At least 100,000,000 people didn’t buy tickets and wouldn’t go if they were given one.
Also, Trump is appearing there via Jumbotron? Will he actually even be in Tulsa?
I posted this on another thread…
[“Maybe there is something somewhere else on the site (or maybe upthread)…but is there any info on this business of a “hydroxylchloroquine reversal” (e.g. the drug is Okay, etc) that anyone here knows about?”]
Do they charge for presidential rally tickets? Every one that I’ve ever attended was free. Is this new?
The population of Tulsa is 400K and change. Of adults who can buy things…probs 200K tops. So every single adult bought a ticket, and some bought 2? Sounds…reasonable.
Why not just say a million?
One lie is just as “real” as another with this crowd.
Why not just round it off to an even million tickets sold? That’s every bit as believable as 300,000.
“I say give the ticket’s away for free and pack em in like sardines.” Suggests a friend (by the name of Joe Biden).
Yeah. The date’s been changed (probably due to the amount of blowback) but the message was delivered (and heard.)
Yes, and I’m the next King of England.
Parscale strikes me as the guy who always claimed to have a super hot model for a girlfriend - who lived in Canada. And that’s why you never saw them together…
Can’t read the whole article, but it sounds like it definitely doesn’t help in the treatment of Covid-19, but maybe the harmful effects aren’t what were reported.
ONCE PRAISED as a miracle cure for covid-19, an antimalarial drug called hydroxychloroquine has rarely been out of the headlines since the start of the pandemic. It was hoped it might find a new use as a therapy in patients who are unwell with the novel coronavirus. But in recent weeks a scientific picture has emerged of a treatment that does not appear to be helping patients at all, and might even be causing harm.
Whether it helps seems clear now: it doesn’t. When it comes to the harm, though, it turns out that the scientific literature may be misleading. On June 4th the Lancet , a respected medical journal, retracted a high-profile paper published only a month previously. This had suggested that hydroxychloroquine and its analogue, chloroquine, actually increased the death rate in hospitals when taken by those with covid-19. This led the World Health Organisation to halt its trials of the drug. It also caused considerable concern to patients and to those enrolled on other such trials.

Why are you referring to tickets being bought? Why not say people registered for a ticket? And I’m sure Trumpets all over the country went online to get a ticket just to show support. Hopefully, the 19,000 selected (via lottery?) will all be from out-of-town and can’t really get there.
As with almost everything related to the science surrounding the pandemic: “It depends; and it’s too early to tell.”
