Hate fests ? Klan rallies or Nazi conventions. Although I've read accounts saying that actual German Nazi events were orderly & dignified. Dumpsterfire's rallies are as dignified as the audiences at old JERRY SPRINGER shows.

I think the term you want is lynch mob.

At Coachella those people were stranded partly cause they were punching the bus drivers, who then quit driving. They just go nuts and get violent. The lynch mob is the only thing I can think of that properly explains what goes on.

I understand that there are 2 kinds of MAGATs. Those that are still able to use reason, logic, rationality - after a fashion - & those that were like VIOLENT drones who think that everything can be solved by punching or kicking it until it stops moving ( breathing, no eye movement, etc. ).

There is a very long tradition, now underground, of a certain sort of American white person getting into groups for mob violence. It’s always had a kind of format. Vaguely ritualized. The Klan was a fancy men’s club for violence.

Lynch mobs used to take group pictures with a hanging corpse. There was extended torture before the actual murder. These are picnic lunches brought out. It’s recreational killing.

These are Trumps people. Damaged, traumatized, sociopathic, whatever. Violent.

IT'S A CANCER, & THEY ARE TUMORS.. So f--ked up that they don't know if they're coming or going. & THEY DON'T CARE. It makes us indifferent to THEM.

They were stranded not because the passengers assaulted the bus drivers but because TCFG didn't pay the bus company for buses to return to pick up his rallygoers.

They were punching the bus drivers? (I hadn’t heard that)

The only great movement that psychopathic idiot has been associated with is a bowel movement.

I’m very curious to see what happens tonight at Madison Square Garden. In the heart of New York City I don’t think MAGA’s will be comfortable. New Yorkers have had the measure of the man for many years—and it is overwhelmingly negative. I suspect there will be more protestors than attendees!

Hope they got money in advance. Probably owned by a right wing billionaire.

“Coming to an end” as in their very own Jonestown Kool-Aid moment? Dare we dream?

Donny, there will always be an abundance of stupid, racist, bigoted, misogynistic, white assholes - this is America! You’ve just lost them because you’re BORING. You’ve run out of sensational, hateful things to say. The media doesn’t even care when you say the stupidest and most vile things. It doesn’t get ratings anymore. You’re going to lose - again. Please just be an adult this time and go the fuck away like losing politicians have done throughout history, until you showed up.

Trump was born into the Genovese crime family, where he earned his nickname “little Elvis” from Tony fat Salerno. While father Fred, along with Roy Cohn taught him the art of money laundering, and never admitting to any wrongdoing, and the use of psychobabble/lies which have served him well… his illiteratacy worked well with fellow mobsters like the 5 east coast crime families until Semion Mogelivich the Russian mob boss seized control over the 5 crime families territory, along with Trump Corporation!!

Sans mention of all the particulars this is a brief summary!!

Trump is a money launderer. That’s pretty well know. That’s how he managed to bankrupt his casinos because they were just fronts. I also recall reading that his good buddy Jeffrey Epstein was a money launderer who used Trump’s real estate deals to move money around. Yes, Donny is 100% owned by the Russian mob. The stolen classified documents may have been his last ditch attempt to buy his way out.

No One was Better Off." On October 27, 2020 – 4 years ago, the average # of daily COVID cases climbed 41%. The US had a record 83,000 new COVID cases in a single day. Trump's rallies were proven to be COVID super spreader events. They traced COVID's spread four years ago through Trump's rally schedule. 

Four years ago today, the US again broke 1,000 deaths in a single day. We went back to 2,000 deaths a day in November and 3,000 deaths a day in December. Trump didn't help slow down the deaths or the inflation that was starting. Instead, Trump lied about his loss and plotted his attempted takeover on January 6. Because to him and the Republican party, it's not about us. It's not about our lives or our kids' lives. It's about lying, dividing us, and holding on to power. We are much better off today without Trump than four years ago.

I think he knows his life is coming to an end. That’s how I interpreted it. Could be also that he plans to be a dictator and will have no use for these minions. They will no longer matter because no further elections will be needed. I hope for the former. Maybe he has a cyanide capsule like his hero did.

I doubt that Trump will or can admit defeat. Trump’s father pushed him to act strong and always win. Unfortunately Trump never learned or was too busy with groping women to plan ahead. I believe that is why his business endeavors failed. They didn’t give his ego immediate satisfaction so he lost focus. He did find ways to evade taxes, evade paying subcontractors, evade the draft (evading the draft was the reason Trump’s grandfather came to the USA), evading by delaying prosecution, etc..

if Kamala Harris is declared the winner of the Presidency he will violently refuse to accept it. If it looks like Trump will lose, he may arrange for another assassination attempt on his life blaming VP Harris or merely get his doctor to say he came down with something so he quits the race and eludes jail time.

Betting on the election? WTF is that about? So if you "win", they put Project 2025 into effect and outlaw gambling? Or make it ubiquitous? I'm so confused...

New Yorkers are tired of Trump's schtick and his accordion hand gestures. I wonder if a musicologist could determine from his horizontal hand gesture what music he's playing on the accordion. My guess would be "It's the Same Old Song" by the Four Tops in 1965 because Trump keeps spewing out the same old song, and America is tired of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvEoR4QywgE
