I invested in a business that I figured would make me a lot of money
fast. There is a gathering of 19,000 people there so I figured we could
sell maybe 15,000 face masks. How can you lose with a crowd like that?

The news showed some scenes of both inside and outside the gathering.
Looks like sales are a bust and we will be stuck with a bunch of masks
printed "Trump 2020". I did not see anyone wearing the masks.

Damn, thought I'd be rich!

I'm glad I didn't invest when you asked me to.

And a judge ruled that Bolton gets to publish his book. The story
implied that the one in print and distributed is NOT a censored copy.

The judge said Bolton gambled with US security and Trump called the
decision a victory, even though trump lost.

That reminds me of the dozens of girls I slept with in high school, even
though I didn't actually sleep with any of them.

Maybe they just wanted tickets to sell at auction decades from now
mounted in a nice frame. This is bound to be historical.

Part of the story is that teenagers used social media to organize and apply
for tickets with no intention of coming, just to screw Trump. So, if there
ever was a 1 mil number, that's part of it. And his ace digital campaign
couldn't figure out that people getting tickets from Florida or South Korea

Yes, and during the rally Trump doubled down on his claim that the US has
done more testing than the rest of the world combined, and says he told his
people to slow down on the testing to reduce the number of cases. "When you
test, you get cases.", he said. Maybe he's on to something. This pandemic
could be over tomorrow if we just stopped all testing. *smack*

True, but I still think Trump arrived at the million figure because it
sounded good. It never needed to have any basis in reality, but it sure set
unreal expectations. He shoots himself in the foot on a regular basis.

Trump might want to revisit the time when he paid people to show up, like
when he initially came down the escalator. Money might help folks show up.

I enjoyed the video this morning of the Trump crew tearing down the
overflow stage when they realized that there wasn't going to be an overflow
crowd. Oops.

What I read, in advance, didn't mention teen-agers, just people having
fun. Or, the author of the article thought, there were reserved seats
and they'd take up all the seats. According to the author, they were
outsmarted by the Reps giving the seats first come first served, but I
don't think there were any reserved seats in the first place. The point
of online registration was to get them to release the Reps from
liability when they get sick.

BTW, you could get up to 2 tickets and I don't see how any checkbox that
one guy checks off can sign away the rights of the other guy who uses
the other ticket.

That can't be right. A million people wanted tickets. Maybe the ticket
company did not get them mailed in time.

Maybe they just wanted tickets to sell at auction decades from now
mounted in a nice frame. This is bound to be historical.

Maybe this had something to do with it

Sheesh. I guess he got a standing ovation for drinking a glass of water
with one hand.

He did, and they went especially wild when he tossed the half full glass of
glass onto the floor. His fake annoyance with the media was hilarious.

What an embarrassment.

True that.

Trump is a made for TV guy.
He just wants people to watch and he got you looking.
I never saw a second of it.
I think his biggest audience is democrats, looking for something to
bitch about, much like Rush, Hannity and Carlson.

I'd like to test the theory that he's also made for prison.

He just wants people to watch and he got you looking.

doing.

I'll check the news tomorrow with full confidence that someone will get to
the bottom of it. Maybe there was a mix-up and most folks went to the wrong
arena.

Part of the story is that teenagers used social media to organize and apply
for tickets with no intention of coming, just to screw Trump. So, if there
ever was a 1 mil number, that's part of it.

That's hilarious, but I'm just a bit skeptical. Teenagers stepped away from
Twitter and FB long enough to do that? Most of the teens that I know
wouldn't have bothered, but I like the story and hope it's accurate.


And his ace digital campaign
couldn't figure out that people getting tickets from Florida or South Korea
were not likely to be real? No, they likely knew, just no one dared to
tell the emperor with no clothes the truth.

True, but I still think Trump arrived at the million figure because it
sounded good. It never needed to have any basis in reality, but it sure set
unreal expectations. He shoots himself in the foot on a regular basis.
Too bad he's got such a good aim. Maybe he need s one of these:

Oh, and did you see that six Trump campaign workers at Tulsa tested positive?
That was a good start.

Yes, and during the rally Trump doubled down on his claim that the US has
done more testing than the rest of the world combined, and says he told his
people to slow down on the testing to reduce the number of cases. "When you
test, you get cases.", he said. Maybe he's on to something. This pandemic
could be over tomorrow if we just stopped all testing. *smack*

That's what he told his wives, too.

"It wouldn't be cheating if you'd stop paying attention."

That can't be right. A million people wanted tickets. Maybe the ticket
company did not get them mailed in time.

Maybe they just wanted tickets to sell at auction decades from now
mounted in a nice frame. This is bound to be historical.

Maybe this had something to do with it

OTOH the tickets are already on Ebay

I made an offer on one of them. Doubt it will be accepted though.
At 993000 "in the wild" they are HARDLY rare!!!!


Well I offered a dollar. It said I should offer $22.50 or more and
there were 3 other offers.

Oh no, I just checked and my offer was declined. I'm so hurt. I had a
frame picked out for it too.

A couple have been sold and you can get them now for $19.99.

That's probably not a discount because he charges $2 for shipping.
Even though it's email.

I'll check the news tomorrow with full confidence that someone will get to
the bottom of it. Maybe there was a mix-up and most folks went to the wrong
arena.

Part of the story is that teenagers used social media to organize and apply
for tickets with no intention of coming, just to screw Trump. So, if there
ever was a 1 mil number, that's part of it.

That's hilarious, but I'm just a bit skeptical. Teenagers stepped away from
Twitter and FB long enough to do that? Most of the teens that I know
wouldn't have bothered, but I like the story and hope it's accurate.

What I read, in advance, didn't mention teen-agers, just people having
fun. Or, the author of the article thought, there were reserved seats
and they'd take up all the seats. According to the author, they were
outsmarted by the Reps giving the seats first come first served, but I
don't think there were any reserved seats in the first place. The point
of online registration was to get them to release the Reps from
liability when they get sick.

BTW, you could get up to 2 tickets and I don't see how any checkbox that
one guy checks off can sign away the rights of the other guy who uses
the other ticket.


And his ace digital campaign
couldn't figure out that people getting tickets from Florida or South Korea
were not likely to be real? No, they likely knew, just no one dared to
tell the emperor with no clothes the truth.

True, but I still think Trump arrived at the million figure because it
sounded good. It never needed to have any basis in reality, but it sure set
unreal expectations. He shoots himself in the foot on a regular basis.

Of course, and of course.


I'm sure he has never gotten a number right in his statements or tweets.
This is Mr. "biggest-inauguration-ever" after all.
