Clearly hasn't started yet?

Stop stooping to their level.

Yeah this was supposedly an hour and a half before it began, and pictures from during the event show it full. It's funny to imagine, but don't let scenes like this make you think you don't need to vote.

Dudes showed up early just to claim a back row seat. Is this algebra class?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

No; you have to think during algebra class

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Well given someone died claiming the very front row with Trump, claiming a seat in the back is a smart choice

[–] iAmTheTot 17 points 2 months ago

Although from what I understand, "full" was a few hundred.

[–] kwomp2 4 points 2 months ago

It was full?

In that case: What the fuck OP?? How cheap are you?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

I get where you're coming from but the "These people are racist, sexist bigots trying to install fascism" angle isn't working for some reason 😞

Decorum is not a valid strategy against bad faith actors. It's an invitation to get abused.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I agree, but pushing easily debunked narratives is not a winning strategy. There is a picture with more people in this place, so posting this with this caption is just going to reinforce their belief that libs lie.

However, they can't definitively prove jd vance has never fucked a couch.

Memes like this are pure horse shit. Just like the story all over lemmy today about Trump's campaign having to pay up front for a venue, because that's the venue's policy for last minute bookings. Harris would have had to pay in the same circumstances.

As if there isn't enough going on to bag on Trump, why we gotta pull the same shit as the conservatives? Shameful.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Right, no one on stage, while being presented as though there were.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Also clearly more than 24 people.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Have you wondered why Trump and JD are having these outside events with limited stands? It's because they've stiffed every major venue in the country and can't book quality locations without paying what they owe and up front payment for the next event. Such clowns.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

When he ran in 2020 he probably thought it'd be the last time cause he would win so fuck 'em, what are they gonna do? Haha shitbag. Guess you should have paid your bills.

Don't US have debt collectors?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

They only collect from poor people

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago

His adoring fans couldn't get off the couch

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bold move getting him up on stage in front of that much seating... who knows what he might do!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not enough cushion in those folding chairs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Wait... he actually needs more cushin' for the pushin'!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that at the Four Seasons?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I believe they're at JW Marriott Pool Supplies this time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

And not a sofa in sight!

[–] eestileib 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Where was this?

I'm not too surprised though, the guy is vocal chloroform.

[–] iAmTheTot 6 points 2 months ago

Four Seasons Total Landscaping

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

vocal chloroform.

Haha I'm stealing that

[–] eestileib 7 points 2 months ago

I stole it from Mark Twain, who referred to the Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Maybe I'm bad at counting, but there is more than 24 people sitting in the forground. In the background section, there's even more. (press?)

(The women count as people, right?)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Not to them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Women only count as people when ovulating or pregnant.

Otherwise they are cattle.

No wonder his fans stay away, with those unattractive chairs.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Absent Interest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The absent majority.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

A full Frank Luntz polling group of voters.

People who use Apple maps instead of Google maps.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

what a weird insult

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

How long is the speech? I feel like I'd need to re-up my sunscreen. Maybe it's because I'm a mole person, but that much open sky makes me nervous.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Tell me the relevance of Curtis Yarvin.
