Who The Fuck Is Responsible For This?

[._.]

[rso]

1. RSO

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of people.

[walkingman]

2. Jesus?

[kacekwl]

6. Of course

Who else ?

[intheflow]

69. Thoughts and prayers will bring him.

With a magical chariot to whisk them to their cars!

Or they could call an Uber and stop being so gullible.

[hvn_nbr_2]

86. The busses got raptured. The rally folks were "left behind." nt

[niyad]

88. Snicker. .

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. Kamala's, of course.

[Dennis Donovan]

4. Trump probably owed the bus company $$$ n/t

[littlemissmartypants]

41. Bingo.

[Coexist]

5. Nefarious and criminal? Yeah, like your boy. Once he's used you for the adulation and photo ops

he doesn't care what happens to you. How many times does he have to prove this to you guys? He probably stiffed the bus company like he stiffs everyone

[Norbert]

7. And trump will still get 99.4% collectively of their vote.

There is no limit, in answer to the question, how stupid can you get?

[Walleye]

27. And their money if he could

[birdographer]

40. Stupidity

I was thinking this morning--we used to divide this country between trumpers and non-trumpers. It was a clear divide. It's still here, but now it is between stupid and not stupid. Some trumpers from 4+ years ago have peeled off, they had a half-ounce of intelligence and managed to figure out that he is bad. What we have now are the core group, the hardline cult members. And every single one of them is astoundingly stupid. So that's our divide now. The stupid Americans and everyone else. (Some people have always been stupid, but not at this level. It's one thing to try to jump your truck over 10 cars using a 3' ramp, another to believe there is a building-size faucet in Canada that takes all day to turn on, which will flood California (does the water jump over Washington and Oregon?), that Democrats control the weather, that babies are executed after birth, and that elementary schools turn boys into girls. This is trump-level stupid.)

[COL Mustard]

48. Paraphrasing Einstein, there are two things that are limitless.

The universe and human stupidity, and I'm not entirely sure about the universe.

[Xavier Breath]

8. Who cares?

My compassion for them and their situation is less than zero. Fuck 'em, in other words. Meh, maybe a couple of lights went off within some of those dim bulbs and last night's events will help slow-walk them toward sanity. Good luck to those few. Sorry, that's the best I can do.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

9. I think I know who's responsible:

[SupportSanity]

10. Simulation of immigrant children taken away from their families when Trump was president.

Only, this is more humane. And this is to his people.

11. A look at the future with trump.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. Any independent confirmation, or just a tweet?

Without verification file this under internet rumour.

[NotASurfer]

15. Duckduckgo search has two dubious results

One is a link to what reads to me as an AI-generated "article" based on that tweet and nothing else, the other is a dark YouTube video posted 15 minutes ago, narrated by a male voice that seems to be using the text of the tweet, which seems suspect. No reputable reporting or confirmation, just what looks like a nascent amplification op.

[littlemissmartypants]

42. And the video?

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

57. Nope, it's true. There's another thread with the deats I'll find it and add the link

[Autumn]

13. They went to a trump rally that's what they get.

I really don't give a fuck what happens to them.

[jalan48]

14. I!d say Trump is responsible and let him explain why he's not.

[iemanja]

16. Trump has done this to his supporters before

How is this the mayor's fault?

[TommyT139]

76. It has happened before...

...but did Trumpist media puppets bother to report it, or did they bury the story because senior citizens were hospitalized (frostbite?) and there was no way to blame the Dems? Media silos can kill!

[iemanja]

77. We know about it

Therefore, it was reported in the press. The fact you're talking about it is evidence it was reported.

[TommyT139]

78. Exactly

Most people who ingest from healthy media streams (and who follow politics) have heard about the multiple incidents of this kind.

But if Fox and their ilk did not cover these stories, my guess is the Trumpists who disdain reality-based news sources might not have been aware of what they were opening themselves up to.

I don't know whether that's accurate, but it's unlikely that Fox spent a lot of time on how Trump harned his rally-goers.

As a side note, I pity the people being tasked by mainstream media to monitor the fringes. I hope they are well paid, get snacks, extra days off, and can work in their jammies whenever they want.

[davsand]

17. Stranding his rally goers is nothing new.

Not sure anybody should trust his campaign provided transportation to and from those rallies. This seems o be a fairly common report.




Laura

[Farmer-Rick]

26. Yeah, this or a real long wait

Is just routine for these parking area busses at Trump rallies. I don't know why anyone trusts them anymore. They always do this. It's how all of the well organized Trump events go.

Hey Magats you need to drive yourself to within walking distance or don't go. Or bring a scooter or electric bike instead of buying all that Trump merch. How many times are you going to let Trump do this to you?

[malaise]

18. My best guess

He did not pay

[rockbluff botanist]

19. At least it's cooler

That's a long walk for these severely overweight morons. Do I care? Not even a little bit!!

I peaked at the video and was shocked at the extreme obesity of that crowd. Some were rolling around on the ground moaning from heat prostration. People calling for medics.

I guess it didn't occur to the idiots to carry water. No doubt, trump forbade bringing water so his fans would have to buy it from him at exorbitant prices.

[70sEraVet]

21. I admit that I, too, was startled by how many were VERY overweight.

[Baitball Blogger]

20. I can walk six miles in two hours.

How far is one hour for a MAGA?

[Farmer-Rick]

31. I think I read average walking speed is

3 miles per hour. Six miles would take the average person 2 hours but these people look to be really out of shape. So, maybe 2 miles an hour? So for them it would be more like 3 hours to finish.

[ProfessorGAC]

52. Sounds Right

As a golfer, I have a pretty good idea of my pace carrying clubs or pushing the cart. I'm pretty sure it's 4.5 feet (or 1 5 yards) per second. That's barely over 3mph.
Not carrying or pushing that 18# might get me to 4mph.
So, I'd say your estimate is solid.
I didn't see any pics of the crowd but I trust your assessment of their physical condition.

[moniss]

22. I am never in doubt about the stupidity of people supporting

this clown and that they are so blinded by their own internal hate for others and worship of their hero that they don't have the brains to realize that their hero paid for the trip out because he could use them and get something out of it. Once it's over he doesn't need them anymore that day and he's not paying money to haul them back. It's the same with paying the venue or the host city for their costs. Once it's over he got what he wanted and he's not going to pay any more money. Watching him do it over and over, week after week, month after month, year after year and then being surprised is where the stupid part really is highlighted.

[Walleye]

34. I'm starting to see it really is an addiction. Still chasing the original high, but it's getting very miserable for them

I guess they are addicted to hatred and anger

[moniss]

63. Yes indeed and when they have someone engage them in

a reasoned argument they begin to panic because, like a substance addict, they feel what they need and depend on to feel "right" and O.K. slipping away and so they become highly agitated, shut down communication and immediately retreat deeper into denial and addiction. Think of how many are in prison for felonies with severely degraded lives all for their worship of this awful human being who keeps using them, grifting them over and over and they keep coming back for more and more and they never once allow into their minds the thought that they are being used by a parasite because that would put them into a confrontation with themselves for allowing it to continue. That confrontation is impossible for them to handle because it would mean having to admit the situation. So they withdraw every time they would get near to anything that takes them to that confrontation and the media and manipulators know this and that is why they create narratives to discredit ahead of time anything that would advance the addict to the confrontation about themselves.

They took weak, ignorant people and told them they had the answers and would make them "feel good" because they were on "their side" and were "telling them the truth" and were "fighting for them". They created the dependency and that's why we see the addicts glued to hour after hour of Faux and hate radio day after day. The hate bubble and they live in it and it feels good because they get a place to put their hate and fear.

[Walleye]

65. That's so true. And it seems so hopeless. The addict has to want to quit. I don't see it happening.

[moniss]

70. An addict hitting rock bottom

will many times bring the needed self-confrontation but in the case of these MAGA people the hate media/hate grifter/hate politician bubble keeps them from hitting rock bottom. Always another "rally, always another book, always another TV interview, always another hate preacher etc. to keep the addict afloat and sending them money.

[Danascot]

95. That's a great description of what's going on with them.

nt

[niyad]

23. the organizers, obviously. And this is not the first time. Why be upset? The

idiots chose to attend one of his Bund rallies.

[markbark]

24. Strange, innit?

That these self styled "rugged individualists" immediately expect the state to bail them out ( "Coachella mayor?" ) when an event run by and for a private individual ends and they now have no way to slog back to their cars?
....and "two hour walk?" the parking lot was two miles away -- for me a half hour walk. I know that's a pretty good clip for most folks, but a mile an hour? I can crawl faster than that!

[Iggo]

44. Yeah. How old are these fuckers?

I’m 63 and I go just under 4 miles an hour on my Sunday walk.

Granted, that’d be a little hard to do after standing around in the hot sun all day.

But jeezus fucking christ, why the hell would I do that? I’m 63 years old!

[Elessar Zappa]

45. I walk three miles an hour and I'm not in good shape.

2 miles an hour is pretty slow.

[rainin]

53. I'm 59, did a 10k "race" in 3 hours. That's 2 miles an hour. Best I could do.

Not everyone can walk fast.

[Iggo]

74. Yeah, but knowingly walking 6 and a quarter-ish miles...

…I wouldn’t start out with 15-minute miles.

My walks are a hair over 2 miles, or about 3 and a quarter if I decide to push it. And while I wouldn’t call what I do speed-walking, it is “walking with purpose.”

But if I did that for over 6 miles, my legs would fall off…lol.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

60. I don't know if 2 miles was correct; I originally read it was 2 hours away; later I saw someone mention 2 miles away.

The fact the bus round trip took so long leads me to believe it was 2 hours

[dalton99a]

25. The MAGA sheriff was there

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a vocal Trump supporter, told The Desert Sun on Thursday that he will be at the event to ensure everyone's safety. He added that he was not planning on speaking but would if asked.

The karma fairy is 💋 kissing your 🍑 ass 👋 goodbye.

Oh, and by the way, here's your 🚌 bus...🖕

[LatteLady]

30. Um, aren't you the "personal responsibility" crowd?

The folks that think Randian individualism is the pinnacle of human goodness? That compassion is tyranny?

And now YOU want help, because you failed to arrange your own transportation and plan on camping when predictably abandoned?

My natural liberal Democratic instinct is to hope you get help, but I know you wouldn’t want the crippling dependence that receiving help inevitably brings.

Call John Stossel, I’m sure he will figure it out for you and sell you his solution for a very reasonable price.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

32. California, so it must be Newsom's fault!

[Vinca]

33. Why don't they think of putting blame where it belongs? With Trump!

[Walleye]

35. The buck never stops there, it just gets swatted back to somebody else

[Iggo]

36. Guess who was about to get stiffed for overtime.

[LatteLady]

37. Calling all So Cal Drag Queens!

On second thought, I think it would be wonderful if all the Drag Queens and Trans folk of So Cal would form a “Priscilla of the Desert” brigade to go get these poor saps. By way of thanks, any reasonable donation to the Harris campaign would be welcome.

[Croney]

38. There's a possible reason so many obese people were stranded.

If the parking lot was two miles away, all the fit people, and the semi-fit people, and the marginally fit people headed out walking, got to their cars, and went home. None of them considered driving back to be mobbed by people desperate to escape Saigon.

[littlemissmartypants]

39. Guess who? ...

The bus drivers weren't paid is the bottom line apparently. It's always the bottom line with the psychopath candidate.

I am so very sorry to have caused you any concern. I should have been clear about who and what I meant. Again, my apologies.

[niyad]

94. By the way, wesley, exactly what type of rare and exotic gas do those

buses use? Most commercial buses I know are either diesel or electric. And wouldn't the drivers have fueled up after they dropped passengers off, which would have given them plenty of time. And how much fuel did they use in that half hour detour!?

[Figarosmom]

43. Trump only paid for huses to bring

Them to the rally. Trump didn't care what happens after rly so didn't arrange for bjuses afterward. That's what they'd be voting g for. But will that sink in to their damaged braIns? Looks like Trump solved his problem of people walking out on him.

[Norbert]

47. Did the news media say anything about this

Or are they going to give him yet another pass.

Just a 'projection' of the shitshow the country would be in with TSF in charge.

55. And let this be a lesson to you, trumpers!

[CrispyQ]

56. I read the parking lot was two miles away

& the buses had to refuel but there wasn't any fuel in the area so there was only one bus ferrying people back to the parking lot. ???

58. Not the first MAGA rally this has happened at

[GoCubsGo]

75. Yup, just came to remind folks about the rally outside of Omaha in 2020.

He left them freezing out at an airport for hours in the middle of winter. And, then there were multiple rallies recently in Arizona and Las Vegas, where people were forced to stand out in triple-digit heat for hours on end...

[niyad]

89. Correction: The fucking, brain-dead cretins CHOSE to contract heat

64. Why do the people that could not organize a one car funeral with the benefit of a staff of thousands and

a trillion dollars on hand would seem even the least bit desirable to run a nation to anyone even loosely described as sane or vaguely capable of reason?

Also, what happened to all those bootstraps those assholes had diarrhea of the mouth about for decades even for kids?

I guess like the weather machine and space lasers, they were too stupid and lazy to read the directions on them.

68. Piss Poor Planning equals Piss Poor Results.

[ecstatic]

71. Umm who do they think? tRump, obviously.

Why on Earth would the mayor be responsible for the transportation at trump's rally?

It's sad that his supporters haven't woken up yet. He didn't want to spend the money needed to make sure the rally goers had a trip back to the parking lot. Hell, it might have also been a way to force them to stick around through his entire disgusting speech.

[ecstatic]

72. Also, yeah they should investigate what happened.

And maybe fine those (trump campaign personnel) responsible.

#MAGA Trumpian protocol was fitting as the “Trumpet Master” hosted his latest rally in Coachella Valley at a “Manure Farm”.

#TrumpRally This setting was perfect for the master s*it talker to host his BS to his flock standing within proximities of S*IT!

That’s a pretty difficult trick he pulled off as his followers were left stranded 5 mi away from their cars late into the night. #CoachellaRally

Way to go “Farticus”…you’re definitely a ‘loser” today, tomorrow, and always.

84. He did the same to MAGA rubes in Nebraska & they'll vote for him again.

Except then it was the freezing cold on October 27, 2020. He's been doing this the whole time. He pays to have them bussed in from remote parking lots, but their sorry asses are on their own to get back to their cars.


===============================

Hundreds stranded in cold after Trump rally in Nebraska

Omaha, Nebraska
CNN
—
. . . (snip)

For the next several hours, hundreds and hundreds of people who attended the rally were stranded, as a chaotic scene unfolded on dark roads on a remote stretch near the Omaha airport. They waited for buses that didn’t arrive, unable to reach the site because of a clogged two-lane road.

Many people started walking to their cars, parked three or four miles away, which blocked the roads even further. Several medics were seen by CNN giving attention to people in the bone-chilling evening air. The temperature was right at freezing, but wind chills were far lower.

Earlier in the night, the President commented on the weather.

“I mean, I’m standing here freezing. I ask you one little favor: get the hell out and vote,” Trump said to cheers from the crowd. “The great red wave. At least you’re down there with each other. I’m all up here and that wind is blowing.”

(snip)

For months, the Trump campaign has utilized the practice of busing supporters from parking lots to the rally sites as a way to accommodate the large crowds. His events have been held in locations such as small airports that don’t normally draw rally sized crowds and therefore don’t have onsite parking available to support the crush of people and crowds.

That has created a scenario where thousands of people are left to wait for hours after the event ends for buses to shuttle them back to their cars. At an event in Gastonia, North Carolina, last Wednesday hundreds of supporters were forced to make the decision to either wait for the bus or walk several miles down a busy road, without sidewalks, to their parking lots.

Some attendees at U.S. President Donald Trump's October 2020 campaign rally in Nebraska were temporarily stranded in the cold after the event.

TRUE

[LAS14]

92. CBS News

President Trump held a rally in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night – but it's what happened after the rally that many reporters and attendees are talking about. Police said the last person was loaded into a bus from the site of the rally close to midnight, hours after it ended.

[Skittles]

93. LOL, these fucking morons

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THEM TO TRULY UNDERSTAND TRUMP DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THEM

[BlueKota]

96. Sorry I have zero sympathy for cult zombies

They support him of their own free will. They know what he will do to people who have done nothing to hurt anyone else, simply because they aren't white men or Stepford women and prefer to make their own choices about their own lives.

Plus if they are truly so religious they should use the basic common sense the good lord gave them. Tsf is a lying convicted felon who has outright said to them he doesn't give a fuck about them. If they're so pathetically moronic enough to trust him, they deserve whatever happens to them as a result.

I have empathy and sympathy to a point, but not for people who don't have it for anyone else but themselves.
