Face it, Trump went on offense. He's much better on offense than he is on defense.

Good to know that this is him being on the "much better" side of his spectrum.

Four more years, sugar...

But were the tickets really reserved? I thought I read somewhere that they were giving out unlimited tickets. The "reserved" ticket gave you a possible option to enter the rally, but not a guarantee.

That is why the President Trump campaign were saying that they had over one million tickets requested.

Probably Covid kept a ton of people away but this is just cannon fodder for “the resistance”. It’s amazing how much people dedicate in terms of mindshare to all things Trump. Shows you how vapid many lives are.

@Loki I think Loki the reason that it becomes "news" is that in the past, President Trump always has played up the size of the crowds, asked the camera man there to show how the arena was filled to the very top. It is one of his talking points.

As me (and many others on this forum board) have said, President Trump is his own worst enemy.

Did you watch the event?

Trump had a big day at West Point and the only thing the media would report on are two fake news events, the water and his walking.

That’s just how bad things have gotten and that is living proof that the media has sworn itself even to the point of making stuff up to tell lies.

Why bother reading it anymore to understand?

I suppose tickets weren’t reserved, so the kids didn’t prevent anyone from going who wanted to go.

It did get the campaign to hype up the size of the crowd, build outdoor overflow stadium seating, and plan a second speech for the outdoor folks.

So they punked the campaign without actually interfering with anyone’s ability to see the event.

Nicely done!

Good points. I would never go to an indoor nor outdoor rally where people weren’t socially distancing and my gut was that most people regardless of political affiliation wouldn’t either. But the “data” suggested otherwise and I thought, huh? Now we know how it was engineered.

In this ugly war remember however that punking works multiple ways so don’t take umbrage when it happens to Biden.

These violent delights have violent ends.

Violent? Reserving a ticket online?

Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant. Sorry you missed the point. I give up. Out.

[jon-nyc]

I know. We all look alike to you.

[Jolly]

The point he made is valid. Anything one side can do, the other side can do.

[jon-nyc]

I get that, it was the reference to violence that was curious.

Either he’s aping the woke and labels everything he doesn’t like to be violence, or more likely, it’s all one homogeneous (CNN-adoring) outgroup to him.

[Horace]

Any use of the word “violence” not in reference to white cops murdering innocent black men is unacceptable.

Face-checking Ms. Pelosi tweet, she’s mistaken about Zoom being able to accommodate 6,200 participants in one meeting. Even with Zoom’s largest “Enterprise Plus” package, the limit is 1000 participants.

Thanks, Ax!

See, Ax is fair (mostly, sorta, kinda-sorta, sometimes, barely, always)

[jon-nyc]

I wonder how they’ll avoid this in the future.

The main reason for the pre-registration was to allow them to collect Covid waivers. You don’t think they’ll stop doing that, do you? Seems collecting them in person at the door would lead to other problems.

Oops
