2024 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Thought it might be a little cathartic to get proudly ejected for heckling at a trump rally. :thumbup:
Stand in line for hours for the sake of an impotent 3-second shout immediately drowned out? No thanks.

Idk, a lot of Asheville would never go see DonOLD. Besides, not sure I'd have much of an appetite after spending hours with MAGAts and eventually Dolt .45 :puke-left:

Schooled.

The lesson here is never let your guests talk without talking over them.

Idk why Dolt .45 is so flustered, the wingnuts have been predicting that Joe would do this since before the 2020 election. Doesn't he listen to his cultists?

OTOH, this weak and incompetent campaign dusted her butt badly. Maybe it depends who's running against that weak campaign.

Certainly in the crazy world we're trapped in, Trump could still win - but it's no longer much under his control. He can't change who he is if he tried, and it's too late to "pivot" on anything. Repugs will try to throw some awful scandal in October, but if Kamala keeps the mo going until then, it won't matter.

Doors open at 1, speeches at 4, might have to show up by 11 to be safe. 5+ hours with MAGA? Could you avoid arguing? No thanks. If you were there what would you shout to make it worth it?

I couldn't do it sober.....if I had the right edibles I'd probably just giggle at them.

:thumbup: I wonder how many other locales have wised up.
... The Trump campaign booked the smaller of two venues at the same complex in downtown Asheville for Wednesday's rally. The Thomas Wolfe Auditorium has a capacity of just 2,431 people, while a larger arena next door that is not hosting Trump has a capacity of 7,200.

Trump has long been fixated on the size of his rally crowds, boasting about attendance numbers—which were artificially inflated—on more than on occasion. Well-attended rallies for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz have seemingly prompted the former president to become particularly sensitive about the issue recently.

During a news conference at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump falsely claimed to have held a rally with 100,000 spectators, while also complaining about the press going "crazy" for reporting on high attendance figures at Harris rallies....
He wants the crowd to seem large more than he wants it to be large :violin:
... But President Joe Biden lost to Trump in North Carolina by less than 100,000 votes in 2020 and a poll released this week shows that Harris is now tied with the former president in The Tar Heel State.

So he booked Thomas Wolfe in case the Civic Center doesn't sell out?

I think the article is confused. It doesn't mention the bigger venue and that's where the Citizen Times has it.

It reads to me like it's the smaller Thomas Wolfe, period.

Edited my above.


Ah fuck. Now I'm really confused. WLOS has it at Thomas Wolfe.

WLOS is calling it a town hall, AP is calling it a rally.

-0-? AC-T was 8/12 while Newsweek and WLOS were 8/13. Maybe the venue changed due to poor ticket requests? Or, AC-T was wrong and has been corrected? Idk, but I'll guess Thomas Wolfe.

Dolt .45 lies about everything. He's not going to allow unrestricted citizen comments like a real town hall. They'd be more worried about RW loons than lefties like me.
