Hundreds didn't make it to DC "March for Trump" . . . due to series of declined credit card payments
The organizers of the “March for Trump” claim a bus line tried to kill their rally by not showing up. But the bus company says it was never paid thousands of dollars.https://www.thedailybeast.com/us-coachways-charter-bus-company-did-not-sabotage-the-march-for-trump?ref=author

A couple hundred Donald Trump fans rallied outside Congress on Thursday for the “March for Trump,” an event meant to oppose House Democrats’ impeachment investigation. According to organizers, though, there would have been hundreds more people shouting “stop the coup” in Washington’s streets if not for a liberal plot against their buses. That’s because, as would-be rally attendees gathered across the East Coast for the US Coachways buses that the organizer had promised would take them to Washington, those buses never showed. The no-shows provoked a wave of anger, accusations that the “deep state” had colluded to stop a show of Trump support in Washington, and negative reviews aimed at US Coachways.
But US Coachways has a simpler explanation for what happened—it was never paid for the requested buses due to a series of declined credit card payments. “We want to get people down there,” Joseph Heap, US Coachways’ chief marketing officer, told The Daily Beast. “But unfortunately, payment is required.”
For those who made it to the rally, the missing buses were a subject of anger, consternation, and conspiracies. Rally speaker and One America News personality Jack Posobiec compared the bus issue to social media companies “deplatforming” conservatives.
“I hear there was a buses issue today,” Posobiec said. “The company refused to work with folks.”
And Women for America First, the organizing group, quickly blasted the bus company in a press release, accusing US Coachways of stopping “hundreds of Americans from exercising their first amendment rights.”
“Last night, less than two hours before our first chartered buses were supposed to leave for DC, we were informed that the bus company was cancelling all of our buses—including ones that were fully paid for,” the statement read. “This move left hundreds of grassroots activists stranded and unable to attend the Anti-Impeachment rally today in front of the Capitol. We are incredibly disappointed at US Coachways, their actions prevented hundreds of Americans from exercising their first amendment rights and to have their voices heard.”
For those who couldn’t make it because of the absent buses, the vitriol was even more direct. Disappointed Trump fans took to social media and business review sites to vent their frustrations at the company.
“Deep state is diabolical,” tweeted one rallygoer. Another asked Fox News host Tucker Carlson to investigate.

Why didn't they call for a WAAAHmbulance?
their idol just signed an executive order designed to destroy Medicare? By further privatizing it?

Medicare, like Social Security, works. Republicans want to privatize both of them. We have to stop them and instead, expand both.”
After all, they funded the phony grassroots tea party and paid for luxurious buses to cart morans to town halls where they could yell about not wanting Obamacare.
C'mon, billionaires, pay for the buses. It's chump change compared to the loot you made off with in red don's tax scam, and there's further ways to wreck the tax code that you want and are furthered by propping up red don's idiot base.
loaded all those semi trucks that were going to shut D.C. down with the trumpasses. Or had rolling thunder pick em up on the highway and killed three birds with one worthless check and a bad credit card.
Or, they could have gone to the nearest airport and demanded to get on a plane to rr international. I'm certain that would work.

WaPo columnist: (Wait. Isn’t that what he’s doing? And we’re the ones paying for it.)
But why, specifically, is he good for American women, I wanted to know. Was there a woman who believes the Equal Rights Amendment is an old idea that’s no longer relevant? Or a woman who believes it was Melania Trump who brought family values and Christmas back to the White House? Or a military mom who is so glad funding for military child care will instead be used to build the wall? Trump wants a wall, and military kids are going to pay for it. ...
Maybe, because we’re face-to-face and not anonymous and online, I could get to the bottom of this. But in most cases..., when I asked the women they responded with an attack on the media or the elected officials running the impeachment inquiry. ... Same with the speakers, who talked about the deep state, about conspiracy theories and — don’t worry, they didn’t forget — Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Each of the speakers looked upon the small crowd and marveled at its spirit. The rally’s size, though? “There would be a lot more of us here if that didn’t happen,” a woman who drove in from Chantilly, Va., told me. What happened? A conspiracy, natch. ... From bus stations in Pennsylvania to a Walmart parking lot in North Carolina, Trump supporters said they were left in the cold and dark early Thursday, waiting for buses that didn’t show up. The president they think they have — a man who will unite our country and treat everyone with respect — he hasn’t shown up, either.

Where are the women?
They were always few and are DROPPING in number. The 116th GOP house caucus has 13 women 
, even fewer than last session as the Republican leadership, joined with the religious right, works to stuff women's rights and equality back in the traditional women's roles bottle.
Btw, the 13 survivors are angry at the Republican male attitudes toward them. Their caucuses are hostile territory for embattled female Republican politicians. Some have been deciding not to run for reelection it's so bad.
The plan is working...
Guy does diabolical like nobody’s business!
so they're surprised it didn't work out for his supporters? Who did they think was going to pay for it? Soros only pays for liberal buses to support socialism.
Oh hell yes it is
“Guess what, you lefty, soy-drinking latte pieces of sh*t: You’re not taking this country,” said one Trump supporter in a YouTube video posted this week. “It ain’t going to happen.”
Wha--?
The organizers of this deplorable MAGAt event were laughing their butts off, all the way to the bank.
Were the riders supposed to pay the organization or the bus company? Or was the organization going to pick up the tab and give away the seats?
