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. "No one ever went broke underestimating the American public" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nobod...merican_people 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
