Oh my oh my, the statement from Linda Ronstadt is epic

Love Linda R. She was the 'voice' of my teen years and young adulthood. Even now I can hear her voice soaring in my mind.

In honour of her words to Trump I'm listening to:

It's getting closer [yikes] and more real

The first ballots of the presidential race were mailed to voters yesterday in Alabama, the Associated Press reports.

And the Republican Party and Trump are trying to cause problems yet again. Targeting mail in ballots in all the swing states.

Pennsylvania - Republicans are pressing for the state Supreme Court to overturn that decision, arguing that mail-in ballots without a proper date should be tossed out.
The effort is part of a nationwide legal campaign that the GOP has waged since 2020 to reject mail-in ballots. Republicans say the litigation is aimed at enforcement of election law, down to the letter. But critics see a strategy that has nothing to do with election integrity and everything to do with disqualifying voters who cast ballots by mail, an overwhelming majority of whom support Democrats.

The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall has a capacity of under 2200. How many thousands will Trump claim attended?

Colour me shocked

Trump says no more debates against Kamala Harris https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn9l9500vg7o

The former president claimed on Truth Social that polls showed he "clearly won" his first debate against Harris in Philadelphia earlier this week.

....you go on believing that, dear pats his toupee gently

....you go on believing that, dear pats his toupee gently

@prettybird Shall we add a "Bless your pea-pickin' little heart" to that? Yes, I think we shall.

Trump is more yellow than orange

I suspect he'll just say it was a 'beautiful packed house, no empty seats'.

Do we think his people are downsizing the venues so there are no photos of banks of empty seats?

..... bless

That's a really small venue, so of course there'll be 10 thousand outside unable to get in😂

Don't you know?: he only goes to the bigliest venues and has the bigliest audiences.

And remember, he hates being laughed at

And remember, he hates being laughed at

Oh that was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt during & after the debate.

Not sure if this got posted yet. Hilarious and true.

That clip is hilarious! And I do love how Trumpy refuses another Debate. Because he won hahaha. He's a laughing stock!

There has been some really brilliant memes and gifs on his performance!

They are still being chased for payment by previous venues. A lot are now insisting on cash upfront which has severely restricted what is available.

Math: project 2025 stylee

We need to suggest some new titles for our thread starter - we're going to be whipping through 10 pages soon!

A play on cats and dogs but no idea what!

I will leave it to the more clever ones on here!

A masterclass in interviewing: sticking to the question, no matter what

I asked Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump's top advisors, what is the evidence for saying that Caracas and Venezuela are safer than the United States. He began by answering that it is the government's numbers. I asked him if he trusted Maduro's numbers. And this was his reaction.

I watched that. I loathe the man, and thought that we had seen the back of him after Trump lost. He has a short but violent temper to my eyes

Stephen Miller aka Nosferatu. A truly despicable person. He was the one who came up with the migrant separation plan of children from their families at the border. Remember that? And there he is bleating on about "what about the children?"

I have seen a few clips of the Arizona rally, nazi vibes.

Anyone know the attendance number?

Also, Laura Loomer?

Laura Loomer must be bad if MTG disapproves of her! I thought MTG was without any redeeming qualities but apparently even she won't cross some red lines. However I suspect jealousy also plays a part in her opinion in this case.

I look at the age of some of these Trump minions and am amazed that they are so young (compared to me!) and that they obviously chose their path in life presumably in their teens/early 20s.

Which reminds me of Hope Hicks - has she finally distanced herself from Trump or is she still in the clan?

Approximately 2,200 people attended his rally inside the Linda Rondstadt Music Hall.

More queued outside apparently.
Tucson police estimate some 5k were lined up to see Trump at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall downtown. First responders say they’ve responded to at least 40 different heat injury calls so far.

Also as PP mentioned:
Ahead of Donald Trump’s second visit to Tucson on Thursday, local media reported his campaign was asked to make an upfront deposit of $145,222. The step was taken after his campaign failed to clear an outstanding fee of $81,837 from a 2016 event held at Tucson Convention Centre (TCC). The bill comprised the cost of 180 police officers who were deployed for six and a half hours to provide security at the event.
