thats why mnuchin doesn't want the secret service expenditures for the guys trips to his country club to be public information.

It's all combined in the tour expenses under, "FUCK YOU TAXPAYERS"

Even when they are an asshole. Conversation? I saw the President maybe? That and fox and talk radio make him sound normal. My guess.

3. They see him as their last stand in defense of their racist, ignorant views.

Without him, they are aimless, purposeless and without direction and cohesion.

I’d bet most of those people getting on the bus to see him have suffered directly from his policies. And will continue to do so.

Every half hour on evening news channel 10 is all over this stupid rally. They have 2 or 3 reporters up there to cover it. They were showing the long line of attendees, then inside the arena, then dimwit Donnie arriving at the airport with local whoever’s all lined up to welcome him. They did say/show protesters were there and interviewed one man. Then they had to show dump supporters protesting the protesters. The teasers for 11:00 are all about the rally and what dump has to say about our country, the economy and Ohio jobs. Kind of unusual but the 2 female anchors seem rather bubbly about the rally. Or it could be that I’m so disgusted by the orange lump and every single person in its orbit that I’m misreading them. The political reporter made sure to say that dump is targeting Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn because he knows it’s so important to ply these states with visits and that he knows he has to win Ohio, it’s such an important state that he’s kicking off the 2020 campaign here. They finally just said last teaser that they will be speaking with some protesters. Gee, don’t do us any favors. Sorry for the rant.

The hubs does-I usually find something else to do. I find myself talking back to the tv or yelling-it’s so darn aggravating. Stresses me out!

every other place around is blood red. That's why you see all the people but the arena only holds 8000 so don't believe it when you hear there was 20000.

6. My aunt and uncle go to every rally in the "Nati".

They're professionals, quite well off, and in their 70s. They take their grandchildren.

They like to bathe in communal hate.

rest of them. My deplorable co worker today admitted dump was just very stupid after the how's your 409k doing? PLUS, we work in the retirement biz so it was just extra ridiculous. The turd is losing it's luster no matter how many nitwits attend the hate rallies.
