Brother..... PTBarnum was undoubtedly right, though (re: suckers)

1. What a jackass

[Ms. Toad]

2. Not as comprehensive as the one I drafted for my niece's salon -

and far more cynical.

But anyone who serves people more COVID-risky settings should have one.

[First Speaker]

3. I thought this was the Onion at first. Who can tell the difference anymore...?

[SheltieLover]

11. Right? 😳🤯

Should also say names are on list to be LAST to receive medical care. 🤬

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. More importantly, they should agree not to burden the health care system

by seeking medical treatment if they get the virus.

[StarfishSaver]

10. That's more important

[Mike 03]

12. This x 100 million

[hlthe2b]

18. +++

[unc70]

5. Not just Covid; any illness or injury

That is a rather large blanket.

[SoonerPride]

6. They were going to put caveat emptor on the ticket, but figured why bother

The mouth breathers wouldn't get that at all.

[Cha]

7. Take your life in your hands to attend BLOTUS' MF HateFest..

& forget about suing.

[Faux pas]

8. He's

not responsible. Too bad his unevolved adorers won't remember that until they are reminded when they get sick and want to sue. Tsk tsk

[rzemanfl]

9. The way I read that, if some septuagenarian Soros-paid Antifa sniper shoots them

at the rally for a Drumpf photo-op they have no liability.

[sdfernando]

13. but COVID-19 is a hoax

why would you need legal protection from something that you say doesn't exist????

[Mike 03]

14. According to another DU thread, these are basically kids, high school and

some college level young people. Their parents need to think long and hard, and the church holding this rally can't coerce them to appear the way some other churches and organizations have forced people to attend Trump events. Otherwise the liability agreement is null and void.

EDIT: This is wrong. The kids will be attending the event in Phoenix. Wonder if they will be asked to sign a similar release.

[demtenjeep]

15. hum, its only 3 hours away. Can I register for 8 tickets

then not show up

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. The first rally ever with a Public Health Warning. Amazing. nt

[hlthe2b]

17. Isn't it though... geebus

[tanyev]

19. I knew it! I knew they'd have some kind of liability waiver.

But it’s still a hoax, right?

[sop]

20. They only have five months left to grift, so Trump's people will be selling T-shirts with messages

like "I'd rather die from COVID-19 than be a Democrat" or "We are Qovid-19."

21. For anyone having trouble reading that tweet....

The tweet:

If you're looking to attend President Trump's rally in Tulsa next Friday, you must first agree not to sue him if you get coronavirus.

22. LOL!

Come to my rally, but remember, if you get sick and die, it's not my fault.

[madinmaryland]

30. He bears no responsibility. Fucking moron!

[gopiscrap]

23. not sure if this legally

gets them off the hook

[sop]

24. This half-assed little disclaimer won't hold them harmless.

[gopiscrap]

25. I thought so I only have two years of law school

but what we did learn in that time, all this usually does is discourage folks from suing, but of they actually do, the claim could be upheld and a judgement could ensue

[sop]

28. Agreed. States look at liability waivers differently.

Oklahoma recognizes them under specific circumstances. Look at this brief analysis discussing the state of Oklahoma:

[gopiscrap]

29. thank you I didn't know enough about OK law

to venture an informed opinion

[sop]

31. The section I found most interesting was the "Violation of Public Policy" language:

"3. Violation of Public Policy. Courts have identified two classes of exculpatory clauses which violate public policy: (1) those which—if enforced—patently would tend to injure public morals, public health or confidence in the administration of the law, and (2) those which would destroy the security of individuals’ rights to personal safety or private property."

One could argue that knowingly exposing thousands and thousands of people to a deadly pandemic disease, just to hold a political rally at a time when 115,000 people have already died and two million others have become infected, and the CDC and various other government agencies have repeatedly warned the public not to attend such events, and states have banned such gatherings, is not good Public Policy.

[gopiscrap]

32. omg, I keyed on that also

[hlthe2b]

27. sort of like the disclaimer signs in laundromats: ("Not responsible for loss, theft or damage"...)

[matt819]

26. It'll be interesting, certainly

Will they fill the arena?

If so, I hope someone is following the virus in, say, a 50 mile radius for the surge.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. What lunacy. Go for it MAGAt's. Lots of yelling and definately DO NOT social distance.

[gibraltar72]

34. NDA 2020

[Kablooie]

35. But it's worth it! Soooo worth it!

Go, MAGA hats!! Go!

[Traildogbob]

36. Owning the libs

They will be smiling when the die. But, I think we win the “owning” thing right now, with NASCAR. That one cut to the core. Loving the exploding heads in red hats.

[erronis]

37. Are they going to raise their pay-for-attending rate from $50 to $500? Most attendees are paid or

coerced.

Used to be that people would dumb for the camera and wearing some stupid hat/shirt. $50? pays for a lunch/dinner.

Now that you can actually die by attending one of these staged events, maybe $500 or perhaps $70,000 (one trip by Jr.).

Who's paying for this? Russians?
(Stupid question. The US taxpayers.)

[Gothmog]

38. Can the mentally impaired grant an effective waiver?

39. Hey it's a 2 for 1 deal!

Go to the rally, then you can stay for the medical care when the arena gets converted to an emergency hospital!

And don't be surprised when the stadium sticks you with the bill either.
