    lmao.

    You got people standing outside. Look at all the people outside.

    realizes someone might actually check

    And then they actually pushed the people very far away from the building where we have beautiful cameras set up for the overflow crowds,

    The overflow crowds were incredibly large but you wouldn’t know them, they go to another school.

    I remember when Bernie Sanders filled the Moda Center in Portland and there were another estimated 9,000 people outside.

    There were photographs and video to prove it.

    Sooo… photos? Video?

      Look at all that engagement and excitement only to be squandered by the democratic party so they could ram their bought and paid for politician down our throats instead. Still so sad.

          It’s so utterly depressing. We still get the shittiest candidates rather than the populist ones. I hate voting because it’s “better than the alternative.” I’ll never forget the DNC for what they did to Bernie.

          Not voting for dumpy ever but i’d vote for anything that gets us good candidates that are advocates and leaders, not politicians. I hope to christ we get more like Bernie in the future.

    The media just needs to start blindsiding the lying bastard in every interview. He expects us to believe that absolutely no one took a photo of these supposed thousands of people outside not allowed to enter? Not a single member of his staff or campaign, no media, not even a random person?

      You’d think at least a few of them would xeet it or truth it or whatever it is these people do.

      Like, cmon, it’s 2024. If you’re going to lie about something that thousands of people experienced, at least have a couple of online alibis lined up to support the lie.

      Like, seriously. This is gaslighting 101. You’d think they’d have it figured out by now. Weird.

      But the school administration stopped us from getting another 500, 600 even 1000 people in. Thousands of people were told no, and that was okay. But we could have fit another 600 people.

      So I don’t know anything about the school. I don’t know anything about this school, but they could have allowed more people. You got people standing outside. Look at all the people outside. They could have come in, they could have come in. So we’re not happy.

      Always a fucking conspiracy with this guy. He couldn’t possibly recon with his own unpopularity, it’s the school administration (this time) out to get him.

      The Big Lie pt. 2

      Don’t forget the second coming of the violent coup, financed by fascist oligarchs everywhere.

      I’m going to go ahead and disagree and say this is at minimum The Big Lie part 3.

      His campaign promises the first time around were very, very different. That first campaign and presidency was part 1. Losing the election and denying it and being a total asshat the last 4 years is part 2. Part 3 will be after he loses this next election. Somehow I think he’ll try to go for another bout too, even after losing as a sitting fucking president.

      Hopefully the republicans can get a more realistic moderate candidate next time. I’m just dreaming of a day where the politics is less divided and more cooperative, a fantasy I know.

      They conveniently “pushed them all far away from the beautiful cameras we set up for the overflow crowd”.

      Trump is such a fucking blatant liar. I hope they make him eat this one.

          Apparently they are the unmovable kind. Set in stone, unable to swivel and take video of this very large crowd being pushed away from them. They cannot follow, alas

          Cameras “we” set up.

          Anything/anyone on “our” side is beautiful.

          Anything on the other side is evil/fake/etc.

            More to the point, why set up cameras for the overflow crowd? They need screens showing footage from inside, not cameras filming them.

    They’re empty you dumb shit because you’ve chased them to the other side.

      I think (hope) he’s chasing them over to RFK. Still get the Trump-crazy but at least some of the policies seem sound at surface level. Just don’t look much below that.

      ETA: let me be clear, I’m not saying they should vote for RFK, but if getting them to Kamala is insurmountable, getting them to RFK as Trump’s spoiler is good enough.

    Combine this with the recent footage showing Trump waving to literally nobody so his team can edit that footage later showing him waving to enormous crowds.

    This is why he loves his outdoor rallies so much. There are no empty seats when there are no seats to be left empty.

      No, as Trump pointed out, the libs had made them go a long way away from the outside of the building so that they couldn’t be seen.

    During his remarks at the venue, Trump complained there were “thousands” outside who wished to come in but were denied entry.

    The same people who the media denied being at his inauguration, I’m sure… /s

      Weird how none of those people at the inauguration were driving or taking public transit. They must’ve all walked, since the usage metrics for those two don’t align at all with what Trump was saying, and there’s no way he was lying spreading alternative facts.

    I’m actually shocked he didn’t claim that it was the biggest crowd in Georgia’s history like how he lied about his inauguration.
