Dan Rather's observation of the BLOTUS' plan for his Comfort Hate Rally makes me think: S. Miller

Maybe this is God's plan playing out ?

God might send a plague.

Oh wait...

1. Forgot significance of date!

2. TY Dan Rather.. RT.

Thanks, Pluvious

3. Reminiscent of the launch of Reagan's

presidency in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers were murdered. Reagan gave a speech there lauding states’ rights

4. Dan Rather still breaking stories

or connections anyway. Great guy, really enjoyed his Watergate memoir The Palace Guard

[Mr.Bill]

8. His autobiography

is a very good read, too.

16. Dan Rather pushed Walter Cronkite out before his time

I like Rather, but I was a huge Cronkite fan and hated to see him go. Rather pushed CBS to force the mandatory retirement age of 65 on him, so he could take over the anchor chair.

19. Yes I remember

[chowder66]

5. That has Stephen Miller written all over it, not that Trump would love the idea

but I'm pretty damn sure he doesn't know shit about the date and massacre.

[machoneman]

6. Did Miller and Miller alone set the date and place? I'll bet he did!

Asshole!

7. Friend and I are trying to figure out location. She says most major streets are torn up

Not sure there's a place that would give him crowds like he wants

We've got a mayor doing pretty good job of pushing masks, social distancing, etc

11. It's looking like the Maybee center again

He may try to get the BOK but my guess is they will say no

[bobbieinok]

21. Well, that's got lots of parking. Wonder how crowd size compares with Benny Hinn?

In 90s when I 1st heard of Hinn, I was stunned at how many showed up at Maybee Center. There were people in line 5 plus hrs before the meeting started. Glenn Beck also has had gigantic crowds there.

There's the large parking area for the nearby Walmart Center,The parking lots around the Maybe Center are gigantic. There are large grass areas. And then there are the nearby parking lots for ORU's dorms. Parking lots for Victory school are across the street and also large.

A possible advantage over BOK blding is that the center is at the opposite end of town from the historically black part of Tulsa. But it's at the same end of town as 71 and Memorial with the large Woodland Hills Mall and many box stores, where there's been large protests.

9. The plague is twofold.

We will whip them out, and be that much better off for it.

10. Indeed...

"Maybe this is God's plan playing out ?

Oh wait... "


Sorry, but you made me laugh out loud.. thanks I needed that

[yellowdogintexas]

13. OK so far we have had the plague & the 17 year locusts,

The plagues of Egypt are: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and the killing of firstborn children

Can the murder hornets count as the flies? If we have a red tide somewhere does that count as water turning to blood? In Texas there is always hail.

THis could be fun

[solara]

18. There was an enormous red tide in California in April-May

And yeah.. the murder hornets could definitely count as flies.. you gotta figure Revelations was written a few thousand years ago, flies have changed a bit since then. the hail has to catch on fire though for that to count I think

12. Woah ...

Omg I hadn't heard it was going to be on Juneteenth!!!
Yes, SM all over THAT.

I didn't know at the time about Philadelphia, Mississippi itself, and wasn't paying attention to Reagan, but knew about those three voting rights volunteers and others of course.

[yellowdogintexas]

14. This Tulsa/Juneteenth combination can NOT be a coincidence.

Pure Evil.

[Lonestarblue]

15. Tulsa is not an accidental choice.

I agree that this choice has Miller’s hateful fingerprints all over it. It’s his, and Trump’s, way of saying “Remember what happens to black people when white people decide to stomp all over you.” I wish the citizens of Tulsa would rise up and reject having Trump appear anywhere near their city.

17. Sounds like a bolt of lightning would be in order. ...nt

20. Trump could work those two facts into a real reconciliation speech.

Trump could work those two facts into a real reconciliation speech.

Oh, wait!

I said "Trump", didn't I?

Never mind.

[AwakeAtLast]

22. How big will the protest be?

It needs to be big! There should be protests at every rally!
