    Trump later wrote on Truth Social that the crowd had been “packed to the brim” with “at least 45,000 people.”

    The fact that anyone believes such an obvious pathological liar continues to shock me to my core.

      I used to think Orwell was being a bit hyperbolic about the party holding up 4 fingers and demanding people seeing 5.

      But Republicans and conservatives do this without even being tortured.

        Yeah. I hadn’t read the book since my early twenties and decided now (at 50) I wanted to take another read through because of all the crap going on, and it’s honestly terrifying how press releases and especially Karoline Leavitt sounds straight up newspeak and rewriting the narrative whenever possible.

        It’s only a matter of time before they get a department going whose sole job is to go back into historical documents to re-write old news articles to show that they’ve always been right.

      It would definitely upset trump if lots of people used temporary phone numbers to buy up tickets and not attend, stopping other people from going, but I’m not sure it’s necessary because it looks like it’s going to be historically unpopular because it’s Donald trump. Nobody actually likes him, they just like that he’s racist like them.

    Ask yourself this simple question, “DO YOU THINK THAT OBUMA OR SLEEPY JOE BIDEN COULD HAVE DONE IT?” THE ANSWER IS NO!:

    lol if either one did something similar (to the event’s original plans–a party to celebrate 250), it’d be jam-packed capacity crowds, and thousands hundreds of thousands more converging on d.c. and a-list stars would be lining up to take part.

      Biden would have let the original plan go through with the Smithsonian in charge instead. It’s fucked up because Trump needed to grift and you only get Fyre Festivals from the level of grift he requires.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
