US Politics, June 2020 — You have to dominate.

don't worry, if there's anyone who is infected that isn't wearing a mask, they'll be caught by the air-tight temperature scan system upon entry to the-

Now reporting for Battle of Appomattox

Will Trump attempt to clear up the Berman confusion during his rally? Y/N

He likes confusion. It often works to his advantage.

attempt lol

And by attempt, I mean feel an uncontrollable urge to run his mouth about it any which way his whims lead him

Berman out for reals.

Yea but Trump says *he* didn't do it

The Convocation of the Cletuses seems to be going well

that's far from clear last I saw

xpost regardless, Berman has stepped down.

I guess they could all be in the beer line, assuming there is a beer line, but pictures of that Tulsa arena with 40 minutes to go show the place 1/3 full maybe?

BREAKING: Geoffrey Berman says he will step down as U.S. attorney in Manhattan, in light of Attorney General William Barr's decision to name Berman's deputy, Audrey Strauss, as acting U.S. attorney. [More] https://t.co/vNi4numDkv

Yeah the photos are Spicer-levels of 'biggest crowd ever!'

Berman's now specifically being replaced by his deputy, who I've seen elsewhere being described as the person who was running all the various Trump investigations anyway, as opposed to who Barr wanted to parachute in, and Berman's statement is hilariously loaded:

As others are reporting, looks like attendance here in Tulsa is well below campaign's expectations. Here's the main floor at the arena currently pic.twitter.com/EASfSHL5nN

There was pre-registration for tickets as a sop to COVID-19 fears, and an online campaign to get people to sign up for multiple tickets and not use them, but heard nothing about it last two weeks, wonder if it has been an under the radar success.

Trump should get back to basics, do a theatre tour, just 3000 shitheads in a room.

I hesitate to get excited about dunks like that, as during the Orlando rally he did here a few years ago, the news started sharing those "lol it's EMPTY here" pics, and then by start time, it was full, and they got eviscerated for it.

though, they have already cancelled the outdoor events, so it at least means internally they recognize it ain't what they hoped

Three Politico headlines:

• Fox News poll: Voters say campaign rallies are a bad idea
• Judge denies Trump administration request to block Bolton book
• Biden outraises Trump with $80.8 million in May

And they haven't even posted anything about the Tulsa shitshow yet. The stink of loser is growing stronger...

Lmao this Tulsa rally. They did this to cheer him up. Imagine how isolated he must feel now.

Workers are starting to break down the overflow stage, which the Trump camp spent an untold sum to build and which went unused by the president. https://t.co/7TiwRgoX3a

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

an online campaign to get people to sign up for multiple tickets and not use them

ie datamining and direct marketing merch to chumps fuckwitted enough to volunteer to be data mined, to own the libs

Trump campaign denies smallness of crowds, shares pic as evidence

he's totally jackin' it

this guy's about to jack off

When in Rome ...

There are reports coming out that much the way K-pop fans have lately been meme-bombing alt-right assholes into social media oblivion using their (the alt-righties') own hashtags, apparently teenagers were behind a lot of those ticket requests; Steve Schmidt (ex-Romney guy) tweeted, "My 16 year old daughter and her friends in Park City Utah have hundreds of tickets. You have been rolled by America’s teens."

This is what a sold out crowd at the BOK arena looks like: https://t.co/tyW4QvVXtw

don't they always over-allocate the show because they know trolls are going to do that? people tried to do that in Orlando but they gave out more tickets than seats so it was still full

Only 1000 people saw Trump perform in Tulsa, but every one of them formed a band contracted Covid and died.

Can i just say: lmao

is it true, is he increasingly isolated

KPop allies, we see and appreciate your contributions in the fight for justice too 😌

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 21, 2020

So apparently he's spent the last few minutes doing nothing but talking about the ramp thing.

tbf, the ramp thing was pretty bogus

A million Soundcloud producers just opened a new Fruity Loops project titled “I STOPPED THE TESTING.”

I stopped the testing
but I did not stop the chloroquine

LOL

Big cheer for his ability to drink water

Tony Fauci always hated me
For what? I dunno.
Every time I have a rally,
He say "Of course I would not go"

Josh in Chicago, lulz

Generally speaking when they have lots of tattoos on their face they don’t mean you well

So I guess this guy is still the President eh?

sometimes you’ll find yourself in front of an audience that just isn’t energetic or easily won over. don’t let that effect your energy. if the crowd isn’t giving it to you, play to your band! find the energy you need to give a great show in them. remember: this is a great job! https://t.co/YckpYhVp73

El-P’s bad show commiseration tweets have been excellent

the operators successfully exploited their target's penchant to believe what they already want to hear knowing they'd further inflate already implausible figures, so that the end result is gibberish data & humiliation for all involved. sefton delmer would be proud, @thegrugq! pic.twitter.com/Vb1qJ7skzA

It could get even more interesting. There are now 800,000 teenagers who can flag every email and text message from the Trump campaign as spam, triggering spam filters and disrupting communications.

so this is all he's gonna fuckin talk about for the next 3 weeks right
