to attend

On “Dumb Fux & Friends” Tuesday morning, Vice President Mike Pence said another venue is being considered for President Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., because of the overwhelming response to the event. After the interview, Ali Pardo, deputy communications director for the Trump campaign, clarified Pence’s remarks, saying the rally will remain at the BOK Center in Tulsa, but that the campaign is "also considering other areas adjacent to the arena to allow the president to address even more people."

- Mr. Vice President, you mentioned the coronavirus pandemic. Some states are opening faster than others, North Carolina not as fast as you would like. And that's why you have pulled the big balloon drop for the RNC from North Carolina. It's now going to be in Jacksonville in the month of August.

Let me ask you about this, regarding-- and this goes back to Ainsley's question about what you're going to be doing in Tulsa. I know the governor is looking at the venue, because you had a million people apply. Why don't you do some of this stuff outside, a great big stadium?

I mean, Brian and I were in Denver back in 2008 when Barack Obama accepted his party's nomination at Broncos Stadium. I think there were 75,000 or 80,000 people outdoors. And I only suggest outdoors because we just had Dr. Oz on about a half an hour ago. And he said when you're in an enclosed place with a lot of people yelling-- and you do hope there's a lot of yelling at the-- and cheering at the rally in a couple of days-- you have the aerosol. And that stays in the air for hours.

1. a million people applied?

let's see the proof...

[yellerpup]

8. Lots of people requested tickets,

many of them anti-trumpers who were trying to get them to say tickets were sold out. They just kept taking reservations and data from local activists and drove up their own numbers. That's the disparity.

9. Million Moron March...

...into the abyss.

Good luck, suckers.

13. That claim was made once and they ran with it

18. It's a data haul

You'll get a reminder to watch the rally on Facebook Live if you RSVP. It's like that with alot of webinars and online events too.

We did that with our virtual Texas Democratic Party Convention. We had at least 10,000 people there. Only no one was physically there.

2. It's a sick cult.

4. Yawn. Again the same shit. Let's go back to inauguration numbers.

5. There are two kinds of people my friend....

those who fight, and those who have had their souls sucked out by Trump.

6. It's YUGE!

Billions wanting to be there.

Let the infections begin! It's slower than throwing Christians to lions, but it may have similar results.

Where does this kill stand on the Jim Jone's Kool-Aid scale? This is reaching new heights in cultism.

Man, the hospitals are going to be overwhelmed in so many places.

7. flying in from Russia?

10. Changing Venues: The Trumpies' Idea Or Someone Else's?

My cynical mindset is kicking in. Is the Trump campaign interested in shifting venues to accommodating his adoring fans, or have some of Tulsa’s powers-that-be woken up and realized that (A) an indoor event of that size is a COVID 19 super-spreader or (B) Trump’s Campaign has these big events and then skip town without paying their bills?

Enquiring minds DO want to know.

11. I just hope the venue has lots of ramps.

With cameras trained on them.

[Initech]

12. The difference? We weren't in a pandemic in 2008!

So it was ok to hold a crowd of that size! Hey Trump, the virus is in charge right now, not you!

[underpants]

14. Yeah but Dr. Oz said it wasn't quite as bad

What do they have to lose?

[Joinfortmill]

15. Not enough people?

[grumpyduck]

16. I can suggest where to hold it.

The bottom of the Marianas Trench.

[roamer65]

17. Any local pig farms?

They would fit right in.

[herding cats]

19. It's going to hot and extremely humid with a good chance of rain.

How many here think Trump could survive that?

🤣
