Trump Rally-Goers Stranded After Their Cars Get Towed from Dunkin' Parking Lot

Awwwww... Isn't this shit a shame?

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/trump-rally-goers-stranded-after-their-cars-get-towed-from-dunkin-parking-lot/

According to a local WBTV report, dozens of attendees left the rally only to find that their cars had been towed, despite claiming that the manager of the Dunkin’ had given them permission to park there.

Yeah right..... Where were their customers suppose to park. This is what happens when you lie.

TSF has taught them well...... Not well enough.

Idiots!!!

The storage fees are $98 a day in my state. It’s literally state-sponsored extortion. But I find this owner of a Dunkin kind of, maybe, potentially a good guy? As someone who’s been towed I kind of dislike having that Schadenfreude. I’ll keep my karma away from being run-over by their dogma so I’ll reserve my judgements and continue reading The Art of War.

It’s still secretly as funny as ending-up for a press conference at the All Seasons Landscaping company and giving interviews with shoe polish running down your face.

I hate trying to have a conscience sometimes, but truly good people are hard to find.

I might have snickered. Don’t tell anyone.

Fun to picture magats being green, like a Monty Python skit. But they could always blame it on the Biden price of gas. /s

Odds are the manager was never asked
They ignored the posted signs and thought they were above it all

Would have been a lot cheaper than the $380 towing fee.

They get back from a wasted time of listening to TSF, and it probably took them hours to figure out they were towed. Then they had to locate the towing company to verify they had their car. Then they had to find transportation to the towing yard. Then they had to pay out of pocket (one can only hope it was more than $380). This must have taken each person hours to figure out. And somehow during all of this, someone called the local news to report it.

The stupidity is astounding.

People stranded in the cold and dark, keeling over in unshaded heat, cars getting towed, buses not running. Trump abuses his followers and they lap it up.
