Default Going broke in Tulsa

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.

Local ABC affiliate showed a dude and asked if was going to wear one

So, at least one sold...

The big breaking news headline continuously scrolling across the bottom of
the TV screen says "Media blamed for lower than expected rally turnout."
The arena is apparently less than full, and what looked like the overflow
area is completely empty.

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

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. 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.

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

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

If it's historical the antifacrats will tear it down.

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.

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.
