Frozen Nebraska Trumptoids...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"State Sen. Megan Hunt, a Democrat, tweeted that "supporters of the President were brought in, but buses weren’t able to get back to transport people out."
"It’s freezing and snowy in Omaha tonight," Hunt said. "What people will do for this con man, what people have sacrificed, is so sad to me. He truly does not care about you." "
Thirty people were "contacted for medical reasons" and seven were transported to the hospital from the event, a spokesperson for the Omaha Police Department told BuzzFeed News. Roughly 25,000 people in total had been in attendance.

According to Omaha Scanner, a Twitter account that monitors local emergency scanners in the area, a number of people had to be treated for hypothermia and other conditions as a result of the cold. One older adult was reported to be "frozen cold unable to move with an altered mental status."


Police said many attendees walked about 3 miles back to the parking lot, and that officers personally transported some older attendees who were having difficulty in the cold and chaos back to their cars.

"The last person was loaded into a bus from the rally site at about 11:50 p.m.," the police spokesperson said.

The weather hovered around freezing with a strong wind chill, records from the National Weather Service show, making temperatures feel frigid.

"Is there any place you would rather be than a Trump rally on about a 10-degree evening? It's cold out here, but that's OK," Trump said, mentioning that he had just been in Wisconsin and Michigan, where it had also been cold. "I said I won't put on a hat, because I'm gonna show you how tough we are."

State Sen. Megan Hunt, a Democrat, tweeted that "supporters of the President were brought in, but buses weren’t able to get back to transport people out."

"It’s freezing and snowy in Omaha tonight," Hunt said. "What people will do for this con man, what people have sacrificed, is so sad to me. He truly does not care about you."

Earlier that evening, the police department tweeted that the parking lot was full and that attendees who traveled on foot or by cab would not be allowed in.

The Trump campaign said they had hired "plenty of buses but [were] having trouble getting them to people still waiting because traffic flow on the small, two-lane airport access road is limited to one direction."

But a police officer on the scene that night said they needed "at least 30 more buses," according to a CNN reporter who was present.

Coronavirus rates are creeping up in Nebraska, and though the Trump campaign reportedly distributed masks at the rally, many people did not wear them.

The crowd numbered in the thousands, with a reporter estimating it at 6,000 people, police saying it was over 10,000, and the Trump campaign saying there were 29,000 people there.

In his speech, Trump downplayed the severity of the pandemic, which has killed more than 227,000 Americans, including 14 Nebraskans who died the day of his rally alone.

"You notice the fake news now, right?" Trump said. "All they talk about is COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID. And we've made such progress it's incredible."

In a statement, Samantha Zager, Trump's deputy national press secretary, said they "always strive to provide the best guest experience at our events and we care about their safety.”

The Latest French Beheadings

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Turning to international events, France has incurred it's second beheading today at the hands of another terrorist in addition to the beheading there a week ago along with knifings of its citizens. In response, France closed one Mosque where one terrorist apparently was inspired to the go on a chop chop spree and the French president declared France will not give into Islamic terrorism. In response, he drew swift condemnation from the Islamic world, notably from Erdogan from Turkey and the former PM of malaysia who insists Muslims have a right to kill French citizens:

Post Election Civil Unrest

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I don't know if anybody else caught the story on CNN yesterday but Trump was at one of his super spreaders yesterday when he meekly said "well if you're not socially distanced, yeah,well,  wear a mask, socially distance". The look on the faces of some of the human props behind him were priceless. One woman's quizzical look was akin to "what?!, what did he say?", "must have heard that wrong" etc.

1. Taxes: "On the whole, low-income families appear to have received the least savings, while high-income families saved the most. Middle-class families saw mixed results. The biggest winners from Trump’s tax cuts were probably businesses. Between 2017 and 2018, corporations paid 22.4% less income tax. The total value of refunds issued by the IRS to businesses also increased by 33.8% nationally." "returns with an AGI just above $100,000 (many middle-class families) owed more tax, on average". https://www.policygenius.com/taxes/who-benefited-most-from-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act/
2. The economy: Dude, we're in a recession!
3. The Pandemic: 75000-85000 new cases per day.
4. Appointments of sycophant judges with poor ratings.
5. Climate Change: we need a climate of change...
6. China: we lost the trade war.
7. Healthcare: In court to remove protections from pre-existing conditions and remove health care insurance for more than 20 million people.
8. International relations: Trump favorites: Putin and the great leader of N Korea.
9. Environmental protections: Disregarded and removed
10. Impeached.

I've got the same sort of thing living in my area. I've got one guy with American flags/Trump flags on his rear-dual wheeled raised pickup truck with "Trump train" plastered all over it along with the Trumptoids in my neighborhood with Trump flags on their flagpoles and Trump flags in their garages and on their pickup trucks.  Democrats don't do what the Trumptoids do because they don't belong to a cult...
