It isn’t a good look. But it’s easy to turn around. The viewing numbers are unbelievable. While I’m no Alex Jones lover there were over 1 million watching the rally on his stream.

This thread has a lot viewing stats. This is what a Team a Trump will focus on. His detractors will focus on the fact that there was no over flow and it was not sold out. They certainly won’t focus on it dwarfing the size of any of Biden’s gatherings

I've seen the Ball Brothers get more Facebook views for a game over in Europe.

I've also been to well over a dozen D3 football games that had higher attendance than that rally. :lol:

Not only cherry-picked, also :BS

https://www.d3football.com/notables/top ... attendance

Not sure what he is claiming the rally attendance was, but the 22,000 seat arena looked to be about 2/3 full. There have been about a dozen games in the entire history of D3 football that met or exceeded that number, and about half of them were played in Minnesota.. I'll accept the possibility that Shuck might have been at the 100th game between Hampton-Sydney and Randolph-Macon in 1994 which drew over 14,000 (although I suspect he was pretty young then).

A spokesperson for the Tulsa Fire Department told Fox News on Sunday that fire marshal records show just under 6,200 scanned tickets were logged for the rally at the BOK Center. The figure doesn't include Trump team staff members or private suites, which were fully booked.

I have to admit the violent Biden rallies are growing as big as the peacefully Trump rallies. :cry:

Biden is holding official rallies? News to me. Do you have sources on that?

I'm being facitious obviously since he hasn't held any rallies and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

The official attendance cited by Tulsa officials is 6,200.

So you don't see a problem with the president retweeting a video voicing his support to people, one of which yells "white power"?

Yes I do .... but my guess is he didn't pick up on it. For the record I believe Trump, Biden etc are just men playing their roll in Gods timeline. If you followed JD you might be suprise to know his view of Trump.

Ok. I wasn't sure at first because your first reaction was to point out the awful things people say on the left (which is accurate).

I can only handle so much end times talk. I grew up in the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement and got it drilled into my head for years. I'm still recovering. :lol:

Trump connected lobbyists reap windfall in federal virus aid

Forty lobbyists with ties to President Donald Trump helped clients secure more than $10 billion in federal coronavirus aid, among them five former administration officials whose work potentially violates Trump’s own ethics policy, according to a report.

The lobbyists identified Monday by the watchdog group Public Citizen either worked in the Trump executive branch, served on his campaign, were part of the committee that raised money for inaugural festivities or were part of his presidential transition. Many are donors to Trump’s campaigns, and some are prolific fundraisers for his reelection.
Granted this is nothing new but it just is more proof that the whole "draining the swamp" slogan is simply words with no substance. It is politics as usual in Washington from a guy who claims to be different. It is that disingenuous behavior that has always been my biggest issue with Donald Trump.

I’ll put the 72 hour rule into effect and get back to you
Lobbying is so incestuous in DC it’s impossible to end it. Everyone hates Lobbyists and Special Interests Groups. Yet they never acknowledge they are a Special Interest Group with lobbyists

I think it’s you making up stuff again. I was under the impression it was career politicians and government employees You know like Lerner, Paige, Stroyzk etc. I’m not sure he meant lobbyist but I could be wrong.

I mean they are the worst kind of swamp because lobbyists groups are there forever.

But it goes down as just another stupid slogan like Obama and his "hope and change" crap. What did Obama mean by that? Nobody actually knows including him, but plenty of people interpreted it their own way. That is exactly how I view the "drain the swamp" slogan. Trump doesn't know what it means but it sounds good and gets his base fired up.

Why is that? Because Trump is just like every other career politician. Congrats. He did it! :D
