How about the maga rally attendance? Maybe it won’t be a covid outbreak, looked like there may have been a couple thousand in attendance tops.

 

But there was a million ticket demand??

 

Mr president you’ve just been outsmarted by tic Tok teens and Kpop fans, or as he will likely claim, the radical left.

I wonder how many people would have shown up for a Biden rally?  How many couches in his basement? :D

That Trump could only garner 6,000 attendance in freakin' Oklahoma illustrates that ether: 
1. support is dwindling
2. the reality of Coronavirus has finally smacked his base in the face.  

It’ likely a mixture of both.  


At any rate, anyone with an ounce of intelligence knew that Covid would eventually skyrocket in the south.  For example Arizona is already in full pull-back mode; their gov. just granted local governments the authority to make mask usage mandatory.

so if joe biden announces an event the Alerus and a majority of  the tickets were sold to right leaning people and those people only bought those tickets to make sure that seat is empty what does this prove...his campaign manager announces that all 20k tickets are sold and more could have been sold (primarlily to people that would've attended) but the day of the event only 1500 cotton tops show up.....

i guess this is the new normal when it comes to politics now.

Seems you dont accept the facts presented why there was a low turn out.

You realize there was no cap on tickets, right?  The campaign gave them to anybody requesting one.   That's why they expected more attendees than the stadium held (as such an outdoor rally was also planned).  Entrance to the indoor rally was on a first-come/first serve basis at the rally.  That's why people were camped out days in advance to be the first ones in line to go inside.   

So yeah, those left-leaning trolls ensured a lower turnout than expected; but they did not prohibit Trump supporters from obtaining a ticket or attending.

"Some of us have lives and other priorities. Posting 24/7 on a forum is insignificant"

Yet here you are talking about Trump's rally, again.

Perhaps you should read what you posted.  Trump supporters were, in no way, prevented from obtaining tickets or attending the rally.    I mean Trumps own campaign manager even said it made no difference.   But whatever, facts aren't gonna dissuade cult followers.  

Have the best day ever.

Darwin Award time...

In light of all the heathen snowflakes protesting in Portland, it’s a small church that’s responsible for Oregon’s largest outbreak.

 

My my the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Idiots.

I'm old enough to remember when the same amount of people were going to get the virus, we were just slowing the spread.

That didn't stop.

Your odds of eventually getting coronavirus never changed.

Whether you're at church or a BLM protest. 

What was the percentage of Minnesotans will get the corona eventually according to Walz? Iirc it was 40 to 60% even with the lockdowns.

Please don't forget the 22000 deaths in MN predicted by the "experts".

Read this as part of an article on 24/7 sports thought it was a pretty good breakdown. Need more of this type of thing in mainstream media instead of them freaking out about how can their be a season every time a school has athletes test positive. 

https://247sports.com/college/ohio-state/board/120/Contents/the-sunday-bucket-wants-bama-148396150/

Is anyone really surprised that a large number of athletes are asymptomatic but testing positive for COVID as they get back to campuses across America? Is this really a shock to anyone? It’s been all over the sports headlines recently: NHL players in Arizona (including superstar Austin Matthews) tested positive, Kansas State temporarily closed down workouts, a ton of Clemson and LSU players tested positive and virtually all of them are asymptomatic.

This is what happens when we actually test for it, folks. Do you know how many Americans were tested for COVID last week alone? THREE AND A HALF MILLION. Back when this started, we had less than a million tests per week for the first month. According to the CDC, every week testing has skyrocketed and the % positive rates has dipped from 20% or so down to about 5%.

Again, this is the widespread testing we’ve been talking about. It will only get more widespread as soon as tests don’t feature an 8 inch Q-Tip poking your brain and casual testers can just get a saliva swab. And all of these athletes previously had zero reason to get tested: They were young and healthy and going about their business like it was no big deal.

I’m not surprised that initial testing found a fair number of positive cases. Clemson tested like 200 people and about a dozen ended up positive. That’s approximately 5%, directly in line with last week’s national average. Once you get them all back into a fairly controlled environment, that number among athletes should drop too.

But here’s the kicker: The risk inherent to this isn’t to the athletes themselves. In the entire country, the number of COVID deaths for the college bracket (the CDC statistic I saw had it from ages 15-24) is 125 total deaths. Out of 103,000. That’s 0.01% of the total!

It’s the coaches in their 50s and 60s, it’s the family members, support staff, Jerry Emig, etc that these tests are protecting. Of the COVID deaths in America, 96% are in people ages 45 and older. 91% are ages 55 and older. It’s not the athletes here that we’re really worried about.

So let’s keep calm when we see headlines like “LSU PROGRAM QUARANTINES 25!” or “NHL FACILITIES TEMPORARILY CLOSE DUE TO CORONAVIRUS!” This level of testing will stop the localized spread within the team and as testing becomes more common nationally it is going to stop the spread in general. Seriously, let’s get that saliva test active here, folks. I’m not getting a Q-Tip poked into my brain unless I have to.

We’re going to have sports and we’re going to have positive COVID tests. By the way, the two week quarantine is a thing of the past for these athletes: Now that you can test people on the daily, you’re going to see people back as quick as a day or two later because their testing will tell when they’ve officially ‘recovered’ from it. I bet you most teams test their players once a week this season, likely on a Sunday or Monday, so that anyone positive can have the chance to recover in time for the next week’s game.

If that picture is any indication, everyone should have been fine because they are wearing the masks you worship.

So let me ask you this-----If the seats are first come first serve are you going to try and attend if there are 50k requests for a 19K venue?

 

"Some users of social media said on Saturday night that teenagers helped keep attendance at the rally down by seeking tickets they did not intend to use. TikTok and Twitter users posted that they had registered potentially hundreds of thousands of tickets for Trump’s campaign rally as a prank after @TeamTrump tweeted asking supporters to register for free tickets."

To believe complex events happen because of a singular reason is one-dimensional thinking, aka Loserthink (c) Scott Adams. 

 

Read each of the Confederate state’s Ordinance of Secession and Declarations of Causes.   Slavery, Lincoln's election, the economy, and state rights are front and center....but they're all tied together by slavery.    

Interestingly, the Confederacy opposed state’s rights.  The Southern States did not approve of Northern ones taking individual steps to abolish slavery, or slavery being prohibited in non-state territories.   For obvious reasons the tipping point was the North's refusal to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act.  And when Lincoln was elected on a platform to keep slavery out of the territories, well, it was game on.  The Confederacy wasn't fighting for innate state rights as much as they were PO'd that the Union's position on slavery was changing.....and it adversely affected the southern economy, way of life, etc.          

Everything stemmed from slavery.  It's clear as day from the Confederate Articles of Secession. 

And here we are still waiving the Confederate flag on government property; the flag of an entity who started a war that killed 600,000 for the purpose of subjugating an entire race of people.

No.  Regarding Confederate generals: not tossed into the garbage can of history, but not memorialized on the steps of courthouses and government property either.  Remove them and put them in a museum with the rest of America's unsavory history.

After all, these were the generals who helped lead the secession from the United States of America, breaking up our country with the aim of continuing slavery.

For those supporting the statutes of these traitors, I can't wait to see you also support the statutes memorializing the leaders of CHAZ/CHOP when they attempt to seceded from and break up our country as well.

 

Those Confederate statutes aren't even contemporary civil war artifacts.  They were erected well after the war; primarily during the Jim Crow era.  They hold no historical value.  They're statues glorifying our country's darkest days.          

It's the equivalent of Germany erecting statutes of Nazi generals in public squares years after WW2.    "But, but, but...it's our history!!!!"

As of 2 hours ago in Chicago 99 shootings and 12 dead (5 were minors) this weekend. Article out of the Chicago Sun-Times mentions nothing about race of any of the victims...hmmmmmmm.

Dark days and a continuing part of  our history indeed but you won't find any mention of this today on most major "news" outlets but please carry on with the typical " Nazi" retort......ialto.
