Trump supporters stranded in Omaha.

President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.

To be clear, this isn’t a reporter complaining about waiting for a bus. We only had to walk about a mile to press parking, which was easy. Thanks to the campaign for that. But it’s hundreds and hundreds of people who came on buses - forced to park miles away - who were stranded.

1. I "think" they're the scum of the earth.

2. I "pray" that a significant number of them get Covid.

Seriously, folks: I'm *way* over this whole faux "empathy" bullshit. Any pretense that "empathy" or "compassion" are unconditionally good *ended* for me - conclusively - when that pussy-grabbing, orange-skinned proto-fascist babbled about how there were "very fine people on both sides" at Charlottesville.

As far as I'm concerned anyone who still supports tRump after the 3-ring shitshow that has been his "presidency" is either stupid or evil.

I am prepping for post-tRump shunning if I even get a HINT of support for the GOP.

This wasn't some sort of unforeseen tragedy - this was basically a deliberate "fuck you" from Trump to his *own fanbase*.

They got all butthurt when Hillary called them "Deplorables" for a legitimate reason: half of his fanbase are probably *too stupid* to actually comprehend any of it:

They're just mesmerized by all the flags, and the incessant blasting of that godawful Lee Greenwood ear-rape ("God bless the USA&quot .

That song pisses me off because of the fact that it has been used to trick the U.S. into 2 indefensibly stupid wars (The "Gulf War" back in '90-'91, and that post-9/11 shitshow in Iraq).

At this point, I am cynical (or intelligent) enough to know that the millisecond those in "power" cue up that particular sonic atrocity, the only rational response is "bend over, here it comes!"

At any rate, tRump's "fanbase" contains a lot of the same "people" who "thought" Sarah Palin was impressive.

But they'll probably get COVID and hypothermia, selfishly and needlessly using up precious medical resources.

Omaha Scanner - OPD taking charge of this shit show. Numerous MAT buses have been requested and are enroute.



You could say that about the past 4 years and be just as accurate.

Additional officers being deployed to parking lots to assist with pushing out empty buses. Traffic Unit officers are turning away the additional assistance because they are on a different channel and are unaware of the request for additional assistance.
