National Guard have been activated for Trump rally in Tulsa

Trump has ordered 250 Oklahoma National Guard activated to help with his rally in Oklahoma on Sat. This is a campaign rally, not an official WH event. This is gross misuse of government funds - and a crime.

Absolutely unacceptable. Yet, the govenor of OK had to allow it. I'm so disgusted. Hurry up Nov 2020.

1. This rally will be a PR disaster for Trump. He will be hammered by the media for

this, and for a spike in coronavirus in Oklahoma and for the outrageous crap that he will spew.

[Baclava]

5. Watch nobody show up! Scared off, empty arena, lololololol

[dhill926]

13. I wish...but sadly...

this is the idiots chance to show what idiots they are. I expect a huge crowd of morons...many soon to be infected...

[William Seger]

20. Yep, what we know from the polls...

... is that about 40% of Americans are so stupid that they actually enjoy being treated like they're stupid.

[Baclava]

40. HA! I was right! Huge flop, place barely half full, overflow event cancelled! He's toast!

[dhill926]

41. I've ignored the news all day...

this makes me happy. Very happy. So glad to be wrong...

[Baclava]

42. Humiliating. Tiny shriveled LIMP crowd, 5X more protesters outside! LOL

[erronis]

28. The only video allowed in will be operated by trump/putin personnel. They'll zoom in on a section

of morons who have been paid (or drugged) to look happy.

Even baby-faced Kim Dung Un gets better crowds!

[Newest Reality]

2. Yup.

However, every Jim Jones has to have his day. This is a travesty of even greater proportions and a true testament to having a dictator who forms a cult from OUR White House and continues to destroy everything good about our system while upholding and promoting the very worst.

His appeal to his followers may be based on a reflection they see of themselves and he knows that.

[HotTeaBag]

3. How f*cking sad is it that a President of the United States of America

needs the National Guard to protect him from the American people?

[Scarsdale]

18. What is even worse,

is that he seems PROUD of it!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Tin soldiers and Trump is coming....

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Perfect 👌

[cp]

27. Still pierces my soul

I was a college freshmen when the National Guard killed four students in Ohio. I knew then that any of us could be killed. With the military draft still in effect, every young man was at risk for death in Viet Nam. Nixon and his army hated us young people.
I'm old now and fully support and love the BLM protesters.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Maybe they'll roust his camped-out supporters from the sidewalks

Yeah, right...

[Takket]

7. Has there been any word of a counterprotest?

[BComplex]

9. BLM is already scheduled to protest & have been given an area to do that.

My guess is THAT is what the national guard has been called for. To taze and raze the BLM folks as a show of macho for the trump magats. They'll get to have a retaliation during the rally. Boy! talk about a happy ending for those magats.

BLM should go to Ok City instead. Leave the diaper in chief alone.

[Luz]

14. Yes, complete silence outside. I hope they don't show and

give him his show. Let the magats gather for their fight with no protesters.

[cp]

24. Ignore the attention-sponge

That bugs him terribly.
Protest in another location and please be safe.

8. Trump can order the Oklahoma National Guard

to 'help with his rally'?

[iluvtennis]

11. The Gov of Oklahoma ordered it ...but am sure it was at trump's direction. See newspapaer link. nt

[Brother Buzz]

12. And the Gov of Oklahoma will back bill the Trump Reelection Committee for the cost?

Asking for a friend

[gratuitous]

22. Silly - calling out the National Guard doesn't cost anything!

At least, anyone looking for the Trump campaign to cover the cost of this is doing some pretty heavy hallucinogens.

[marie999]

23. The governor can bill them,

but they won't pay. I don't think they ever do.

[avebury]

26. Silly Governor Stitt if he thinks that we will get reimbursed.

Everybody knows that Trump and his campaign never pay their bills.

[Doodley]

10. Trump hasn't even got the economy to boast about anymore. I predict this will

be a wild, negative, nasty, hateful performance, even by his own low standards. It will totally backfire.

[sprinkleeninow]

15. And this:

President Trump threatens protesters at his rally.

[erronis]

29. Wow. I didn't know aol.com was still a thing. yahoo going, msn, compusrv, alternet ...

[iluvtennis]

36. LOL :-). I have a brother who still uses his aol email account. He's had it for over 30 years. nt

[sprinkleeninow]

38. I like yer bro! 👍

[sprinkleeninow]

37. Yas, still a 'thing'! We joined up in 1995.

Still have 7 'user names'. 😁

Longtime close friends of ours are still on it, too. 😄

What. We should quit? 😆

[LanternWaste]

16. Idiot trump wants a problem so he can use his Solution

in a more controlled manner than his his idiot church photo op, and advertise to his idiot base he can quell peaceful protests with violence.

[Native]

17. This is gonna be his biggest shit show to date, and blood will be spilled.

[MiniMe]

25. I thought states had control over the national guard, not the president

[wiggs]

30. illegal!! nt

[Mr.Bill]

31. This will be remembered in history

as the beginning of Oklahoma turning blue.

[Fritz Walter]

32. For me -- and other (FL) First Coast Dems -- this is a preview of coming distractions

"First Coast" is a marketing slogan for northeast Florida businesses and their chambers of commerce.

So, the curfew, and activation of military units are all likely parts of the game plan that the RepubliCONs will employ in August, when Gov. Ron DeRacist and Mayor Lemon Curry welcome fellow traitors to a state that daily posts ever-increasing incidences of COVID-19 infections and deaths.
And these "precautionary" measures will be funded by taxpayers' dollars.
Got it!
What could possibly go wrong?


Meanwhile, We're doomed! Right now, I just want to survive to cast my vote in November.
To my fellow First Coasters: please stay safe, stay well, and otherwise act accordingly.

33. Twitter Will Have Blood On Their Hands

When Trump Tweeted the threat of violence against the protesters and they did nothing it will mean they will have blood on their hands. Inside you know Trump will be agitating the crowd.

Outside the Oklahoma National Guard and other security will set up a perimeter that will be about 3 blocks away from the arena on all sides and that will just further infuriate demonstrators. And you know tear gas will be quick to be used. Tulsa will show America falling apart at the seams. It will not be pretty either. And at the site of one of the worst massacres in US history.

[snort]

34. Fuck trump

[spanone]

35. He's trolling for violence....this is what dictators do. Then he'll blame antifa democrats....

he's as dangerous as they come.

[tinymontgomery]

39. Here we go possible

Here we go possible Kent State tripped in deaths possibly.
