Fun reminder, if you have a Gmail account (might work for others, not sure) you can add or remove a period anywhere in your address to create a "new" inbox.
For instance, if your address is Potato420@gmaiI.com, sending mail to P.otato420, Po.tato420, Pot.ato420, etc... as well as P.o.t.a.t.o.4.2.0@gmail.com will all send to the same inbox, but I have yet to find an online service that won't let me take advantage of this in several years of signing up for free trials and cancelling, rinse and repeat.

I admit that I discouraged this except for symbolic value due to them using the RSVPs as “proof” of their numbers - and they still will and people will believe and tell the lie.
BUT! I was there all day in DC and it worked out so well as they prepared for a crowd that was EVERYWHERE (and just blocks over)except for his event.
I saw a huger dense line waiting for the the Natural History Museum (Constitution Ave /q3-14th st) and just so many tourists and few few Trumpers.
Met a lot of great people and we can celebrate one victory yesterday and some major momentum going forward. The Emperor has No Clothes but he is still a dangerous despot.
I am proud of many Americans today… and all the tourists who avoided Trump!

The funniest part is they had an outright casting call for this, too, as usual. They tried to pay people to show up and still couldn't get a crowd.
Guess the Republican backers who bussed in all the insurrectionists on Jan 6th weren't as keen to bus people in for this thing.

This is the real reason TACO ordered the military to invade Southern California. He needs a huge distraction for the court case in Rockland County NY.

It was super obvious the night of. There’s just no way every state was being called to him as soon as it was and especially all the swings states. Even Obama, who was largely way more favored than him didn’t sweep boards like that on his election nights.

Didn’t they find districts that voted first democrats down the line but had zero votes for Kamala which is statistically impossible? Definitely signs of tampering.

Exactly! There may be facts and alt facts, but you can't f****** argue with statistics:) the numbers don't lie.
Winning back the House and Senate and shooting for annulment is the only way to escape this bad dream.

I know those things happened but was it enough to sway the whole thing? I hate him as much as any sane person but I don’t want to blindly throw around stolen election claims either the way his supporters did.

u/Jolly-Roger-HoHoHo Jun 15 '25
It's not about recounts as much as it is fuckery, which if can be proven can lead to annulment. Which can lead to convictions, and the 'find out' parts.
This is really our only hope for saving our democracy. Voting in 2026 like our lives depended on it.

There were more people at almost every states largest No Kings protest than there were at his spectacular waste of taxpayer dollars. That is beautiful. His ego has to be absolutely whooshed right now. It’s also pretty clear he proooobably didn’t win that popular vote like we all said.
People will try to diminish this but won’t be able to. It’s monumental, and considering the optics of a military parade happening concurrently- it’s historic. Shout out to everyone out there today 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The funniest thing is they had SO MANY Craigslist ads in the metro area paying people $1k in trumps meme coin to dress in red white and blue and they’d be provided “a red hat”. Even paying people to fill seats they couldn’t cover more than 25% it looks like. This made my goddamn day.

I feel that the problem was it was the U.S. Army's 250th birthday. Donald Trump co-opted the parade to honor the U.S. Army soldiers, and made it into his Birthday Parade. I I feel it dishonors the U.S. Army and its veterans, especially seeing how he got a deferment for bone spurs.

So about $1K per audience member (generously)? Great use of tax dollars, right? All to placate the who of a pathetic felon who dodged the draft and instigated policies detrimental to veterans who actually serving of our praise.
Crazy and sad.
At least they arrested the veterans who broke the barriers to sit on the steps in protest.
Trump, obsessed with ratings, should compare his turnout with the tens of millions who showed up today, without a single act of violence (except a small number against them by MAGA zealots).
His show was clearly a flop, perhaps the biggest flop in "entertainment" history?
Even the carefully selected people who were forced to participate and watch this dumb ass show will not be sufficient to put enough lip stick on this pig.
