Mary Trump is on M$NBComcast - says these aren't rallies

[malaise]

They are super spreader events...he's putting them at risk and for what?

[Claustrum]

1. Typo, it should be "Mary" in the title n/t

[malaise]

2. Fixed it

Thanks

[soothsayer]

3. And Trumo

[malaise]

5. LOL

Killa Con's head is well covered in this wind. - fucker is freezing

[agingdem]

11. These aren't rallies

Trump spews racial hate and the crowd rewards him with chants and cheers .. verbal masturbation

[malaise]

13. +1,000

They're all sick

[CountAllVotes]

4. If dump kills off his base

Many of his idiot followers will contact COVID.

They are uneducated and white.

This is his "base" so to speak.

dumpy doesn't care do U?

[malaise]

7. We love you chant

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[Shermann]

8. Poorly educated whites are the only group he's ahead with

Although I'm curious if he's ahead with the subset of only poorly educated white women?

He's way behind with women.

[liberalla]

29. "If dump kills off his base" . . . IF? . . . 700 have already been sacrificed...

I guess he's got plenty to spare... Or, isn't worried because the bulk of the deaths will happen after Tuesday?

I haven't seen this reported on the national evening news, or this morning on the political talk shows. It really needs more coverage.

It needs to hit the MSM.

[CountAllVotes]

37. dump really does not care do U?

These people are expendable.

Worthless white trash folk.

Who needs 'em is his attitude.

Fucking murderer!

[liberalla]

39. Yes. Sick fucking murderer!

But, I wish the Stanford report of 30,000 cases and 700 deaths was getting wider news coverge.

[llmart]

42. As long as they die off before they breed.

I'd be happy with that. As Scrooge said, "Decrease the surplus population."

[certainot]

36. the cons used ebola fear in oct 2014 to get 9 senate seats. someone convinced the idiot COVID

and ebola were similar and it would work again. he thought he could use it to derail voting. that didn't work and at this point probably knowing he'll lose he wants it to get so bad he has to close everything down and delay his departure or leverage the what's left into some get out of jail card

someone already told him fear and chaos are good for authoritarians (they have an increased need for certainty - represented by him)

his aim from the beginning was to ignore it or make it worse - if it was incompetence and lack of long-sight or not wanting a lockdown for economic purposes he would have at least put someone in charge of at last getting PPE and equipment, etc out there

instead he coordinated with limbaugh from the beginning and limbaugh led rw media with 2 months of total denial etc

media needs to ask the questions and dems need dto gegt limbaugh under oath befor ehe croaks, not because he will tell the truth but just to lay out the scenario and scare the crap out of the cons who have depended on invisible talk radio for 30 years

[brewens]

6. They gonna have to shuttle them again? No driver in their right mind would haul a

busload of ignorant, pestilence spreading vermin to a rally and back. Especially if it's a different bunch of Trump's followers on the return trip, fresh from rubbing their sleaze all over each other for a couple hours.

I'm waiting to hear that was a big issue with the two previous incidents. Sure they didn't get paid, but that was to be expected. I bet they had drivers come back from the first run and bail on them.

[katmondoo]

12. I never thought about the return trip being a problem like spreading the virus. Worse than I thought

[FoxNewsSucks]

27. " ignorant, pestilence spreading vermin"

Damn if that isn't the best description yet of those nose-pickers at the klan rallies

[brewens]

46. Oops. I meant filthy, ignorant, pestilence spreading vermin. Not sure how I

left that out.

[soldierant]

38. That certainly would explain it!

I'll bet you're right.

[tulipsandroses]

9. These are to stroke his ego. Thats why they are talking about he's going to keep campaigning

after Nov 3rd. He needs his adoring fans or he will fall apart.

[wnylib]

24. If he continues campaigning after the election,

the only reason I can see for it it is a subversive attempt to rally people behind him as the "true winner."

[MyMission]

55. Absolutely! I see this thru a science fiction lens

I see 45 as a tool of the devil/forces of evil. Teflon Don. He's a dark, empty, narcissistic creature.

Yes, he needs adoration, and his sick self feeds off of it, as do the forces he serves. His ego needs stroking, but he needs the energy of the crowd. He's an energy vampire, feeding off others. That's how I see him. Not a supernatural creature but more tool of the devil, or Russian or hate groups. So yes, they're fine sucking the energy and life from those willing offer their devotion. This is after they've made them angry and hateful. They need to feed off that, which is why he wants to continue with the rally's, and if it spreads Covid that's no big deal. On to the next rally!

The thing is, these forces are being overwhelmed by forces of light and love. The majority of us do not want 45 and his ilk, and we are voting them out. So good will triumph over the evil forces
And we don't want his followers to suffer, as much as we may believe they deserve it, we aren't gleeful about seeing folks stranded, with frostbite and heatstroke and exposed to covid germs

But there will still be a portion of deplorables who remain loyal to him. They will sign up for his new TV channel where he berates and blathers, and lives in his alternate reality. He's already planning to have a TV following after he leaves office, to feed his ego.

[central scrutinizer]

10. Buses?

Using buses seems especially stupid. Packing them full of sniffling (it’s cold in many places), largely unmasked people! Rolling Petri dishes. I feel for the drivers who probably need the income. And when the check bounces, the bus companies are cutting their losses and leaving the MAGATs stranded. I don’t feel sorry for the MAGATS, they’re making one bad choice after another.

[malaise]

15. Yep - decisions have consequences

my only worry is that they pass on their Covid to innocent people

[GeorgeGist]

14. Malignant Narcissist farewell tour.

Win or lose, he wants to hurt everyone.

[malaise]

16. Kila Con is a truly evil human being

It is now time for accountability at age 74. ByeDon!

[NotASurfer]

17. If he's going to lose, he's going to destroy

Wreaking havoc to spite all of us. He's building the biggest dumpster fire he can before leaving office, and he'll blame it on liberal anarchists who support Biden. So predictable.

Exploding coronavirus to create a massive healthcare crisis is par for the course. To me it says he knows he will lose, and if he's going to lose, he's going to make sure he makes life miserable after he's gone from office.

[Baclava]

18. They've all graduated from the Deplorable class to The Expendables

[malaise]

19. I see what you did there

Brilliant

[Brainfodder]

40. Mock up for The Expendables #4 movie, and just show a Super Spreader Rally in a panorama shot?

I checked IMDB, says The Expendable 4 is in development (mentions 2017 though).

[spanone]

20. For Him.

[coeur_de_lion]

21. He puts them at risk to massage

his fragile ego. That is all.

[malaise]

22. I wish I thought that was all these rallies are about

I just have a feeling that he's also sharing plans with his goons.

[niyad]

31. He is certainly stating his wishes and views openly. Marching orders.

[wnylib]

32. I have the same feeling.

Rough days ahead.

[coeur_de_lion]

48. I'm sure you're right

It’s going to be a terrible few days or weeks until it is all over.

I am so stressed I can barely function.

I hate the mango like nothing or no one has ever been hated before.

[malaise]

50. Not sure - they will try but I think Biden/Harris will win big

and people will shut them up and down.

I hope they are all arrested when this is over.

[coeur_de_lion]

52. If they are not arrested I fucking give up

on life in this country.

[moondust]

23. Malignant sadist.

I suspect the malignant narcissist may derive satisfaction/pleasure from knowing that many people are getting sick and many are dying -- FOR HIM. Not dying for the country fighting wars. Nope. Getting sick and dying FOR HIM.

Stanford study: Trump rallies linked to 30,000 COVID cases, 700 deaths

[malaise]

26. Nailed it

Fucking monster

[dchill]

25. They want to join his legion in Hades.

[malaise]

28. Hades is an ICU with a ventilator

It is what it is!

[dchill]

30. It's a step - in the wrong direction.

[coeur_de_lion]

49. Hades is a country

where easily a third of the people think that the bloated orange lunatic is something like a good leader.

We have been in Hades for 5 years.

[malaise]

51. So true

Never thought I'd see this in my lifetime

[coeur_de_lion]

53. The people in this country who follow the orange asshole

are far more disappointing to me than the asshole himself.

[Blue Owl]

33. K&R

[H2O Man]

34. Recommended.

I do have one disagreement, however .... I think these are "stupis spreader events."

[malaise]

44. They're both

[SheltieLover]

35. What I've been saying all along!

[BarbD]

41. Like Mussolini, he needs constant adulation.

What is even worse are all the republicans who enable him.

[kooldawg]

43. Recommended. Mary Trump is a genuine hero.

She could have very easily kept to herself all of her knowledge and insights into her uncle's psyche. She actively chose the more difficult route, thereby putting herself in the immediate crosshairs of Mr. Trump and his deranged minions.

That takes no small amount of courage and will. She has modeled the kind of bravery which is a unique gift to her fellow countrymen, and has done so in a calm, strong, resolute and deliberative fashion, eschewing any sort of celebrity or notoriety which might have served to diminish the credibility and power of her singular story.

Thank you very much for posting this.

[malaise]

45. Agree - welcome to DU

[kooldawg]

47. Thanks.

I can't legitimately claim the mantle of newbyhood, but I couldn't figure out the "returning member" thing, so here I am.

I don't know if any of my posts survive, but I'd get a kick out of having access to them.

[malaise]

56. Welcome back
