Has anyone notified the Red Cross yet to start mobilizing?
I’m sure the Pentagon has.

When he’s heading RightWing and that’s all he has, what else would Trump say?

I’m sorry. I only listen to Presidents who uphold the Constitution.
(guess who didn’t learn the lesson of the Battle of Lafayette Park yet)
See you at 25% approval, Donnie.

“Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis,” Trump tweeted. “It will be a much different scene!”
So he just disinvited Don, Eric, and Jared publicly? That’s not nice, though he is accurate, I’ll give him that.

Like I said, this is gonna be a total clusterfuck. Trump is calling for a street fight. And of course he won’t be actively participating. Just having his minions do all the dirty work.

Oh, yeah. I’m sure this tough guy talk will keep the protesters at home. Good job, Donnie. Problem solved.

So no teargas, baton beatings, Natty Guardsmen, or rubber bullets this time?!

The Nazis had the Brownshirts. Does Trump think he has the National Guard?

“lowlifes” = the poor, minorities, women, etc., also, anyone who disagrees with El Trumpo.

I kinda would like anti-trump protestors to not show up in Tulsa. I bet tRump et al would love to have protestors roughed up bigly so he can show what a gutsy guy he is. Anti-trump protestors should stay away & give notice that tRump isn’t worth our time. Let the boogaloos & self styled militias fill the streets. A nice demo of fascism at a tRump rally (as if one needed additional info). Not worth injury, death, or COVID to give tRump a talking point.

Different from Seattle, but rather like Nuremberg.

Sorry, Donnie, I know you are mentally challenged, but your duty is to “uphold” the U.S. Constitution, not to “hold it up” like a thief.

Well, the Streisand effect virtually guarantees that a direct result of such puffery is going to cause more protesters to show up.
And… it will make any other GOP governor have second thoughts about inviting Trump et al to come to town for another Rally

Wouldn’t it be great if no major media company or outlet covered the rally from inside the venue due to it being a health hazard? There are not enough safety and prevention measures being taken according to the CDC so why should they cover it and become enablers or worse, hypocrites themselves, in doing so. Does this mean that journalists have to sign the waiver as well in order to be let in? What media company would allow that?
The one thing tRump wants more than anything is widespread coverage of the event to be spread around the country. If it isn’t covered by the press to any great extent, it will have no lasting political power to influence anyone during this awful pandemic. tRump is choosing to downplay and ignore the pandemic entirely on the one hand, and admit it is deadly on the other hand by having everyone sign a fucking waiver. Maybe he’ll think twice about setting up more of these massive vectors for infection around the country if they just show people going in and coming out…but to what end? So they can all catch COVID-19 and an hour of tRump’s boasts and bigotry? Good times.
