    If they weren’t so greedy and cheap they could have packed it. Free admission, and free food, plus some shade structures and carnival rides would have brought people in, politics aside.

    Apparently, the entrance security was very strict, which of course they need, because THEY’RE ASSHOLES and everyone hates them.

      Yeah, this is one hell of an own-goal. All he really had to do was just stay out of the way and let the original plans proceed as scheduled then claim credit. His base would’ve eaten that up and the media would’ve spent weeks writing puff pieces about what a good job he did by not interfering. But what am I saying, staying out of the way and then claiming credit would’ve worked during COVID too, but he couldn’t manage to do that either.

        This is also true of NATO, NAFTA, Iran, USAID, the entire scientific establishment, mRNA technology, …

          It’s also true, in a way, about breathing.

          If that obese child rapist chose to stop breathing by ‘doing a Hitler’ then a high percentage of the world’s population would be very verrrrry appreciative.
          They’d agree it was the best. Tremendous even.

          Go on, Donvict, do a Hitler.

        Its ok they wrote puff pieces anyway. They were also remarking, the entire event, about how many people there were…

        Really pathetic display of the modern media.

      had donvict been sent to sulk on the back nine back in '24, i’m sure the festivities in dc this summer would be completely and totally different; more closely resembling a minnesota state fair (the biggest one in the country by daily attendance) or the '82 knoxville worlds fair (>11m visitors over the entire fair).
