There'll be no intelligent stuff coming out of the rally. The people in the stands are doing the fucking wave.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:37

They're bored. The Wave is being orchestrated to keep their spirits up.

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:37

I note the cameras show very little of the crowd, too. Will we see AF1??

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:38

And Yes - I couldn't resist watching. It's like having a hole in your tooth.

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:39

It's a "white out". There are a few black and minority people, but 95% or more are white.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:39

I reckon we'll see it on a screen - maybe with a touch of Ride of the Valkyries, Ginger. Smile

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:40

Okay, here we go. Trump speaking.

This place is packed. Lot of people outside that aren't getting in, but we love them too.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:41

I'm amusing myself by counting the number of 'the crowd' who are in fact security people. (In that sector on camera at least.)

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:41

blah blah Lincoln, Daniel Boone, Henry Clay blah blah

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:42

We're joined today by Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell. We take care of him, he's on our side.

Everything ok mitch?? That healthcare looking good??

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:43

We are going to start taking care of OUR country. It's time.

SanFranBear · 20/03/2017 23:46

Just a thought really...

How come days before the election, Coney said they'd reopened the email investigation into Hillary Clinton and yet said nothing about the investigation they'd been pursuing since July into the Trump/Russia links? I know it's more complex than this but that was definitely a factor in handing the presidency to Scrotus - just such double standards.

But then I think we're all agreed that if Clinton had five children from three different marriages, she wouldn't even have been given the nomination. And that's before the rest of the sexism, racism, xenophobia and downright vileness that makes up Scrotus' personality and agenda.

I am still so angry at the election result and if he can still go on about it, I can still rant about it...

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:46

United we stand, divided we fall, state motto of KY.

Fake media asked me a question They said how are the GOP going to finalyl get together. I said wait a minute, we won Pres, we won House, we won Senate. Right?? Actually it a nice guy that asked, but it was an interesting question. We're gonna get a lot of things done. Then we're going to get to my favourite things called reducing taxes. We're going to do amazing things for citizens of KY and US. We're going to take the political power from Washington and return it to you the people. It's happening

Remember that beautiful November day? They weren't giving us a chance, there is no path to 270. For GOP the electoral votes were hard to win. THERE IS NO PATH TO 270. Well, there was one to 306.

We inherited a mess. Its a mess. I met with PM of Iraq and others, N Korea

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:48

NKorea I tell you wha, what is happening there is disgraceful and not smart at all.

With the economy we picked up 3 trilliion dollars and companies are creating work.

And really terrible horrible trade deals. Last year, our country lost almost 800 billion $$ in trade. Not going to happen anymore.

Uncontrolled immigration. A little problem with courts not giving us the decision they should have, but we're gonna win it.

These entrenched interests will do anything they can to win, but they are broken adn we're going to win because we are fighting on the side of our great American heritage.

This place is PACKED!

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:50

I mean, I don't want to say this - we could be watching a good basketball game tonight, but what happened??? what happened? but that's alright. great team.

We're going to drain the swamp of corruption and keep our promises, all teh promises we made. We'll massively reduce your taxes. Reduce substantially rising crime and support law enforcement. We're going to bring accountability to the VA and take great care finally finaly finally of our great veterans.

Our secretary (you wouldn't believe it) I STILL don't have my cabinet - they won't approve my cabinet. There is a lot of bad stuff going on in our country.

SanFranBear · 20/03/2017 23:50

Seriously!! Give. It. Up. You won! We get it! Well done! Now fucking govern - stop fucking campaigning and playing golf and tweeting and Do. Something. Important.

Sorry but I am just losing the will here - how much longer can this go on? It's only been two months Sad

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/03/2017 23:50

I've just switched over to BBC News & landed on this shit. It's properly scattergun random. He's definitely free-styling. It actually sounds like a campaign speech. ZERO flesh on the bones... I don't know why I'm still surprised, but he's just so frigging awful.

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:53

We are going to rebuild the US military finallly. More increases in military defence spending in history. IN HISTORY. We'll make the equipment right here in the USA. We believe in 3 crucial words - PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

But we will spend our money wisely with just one negotiation or one set of airplanes. I saved the taxpayers of our country over $700 million. And that's just one of many.

We've also kept promise to appoint SC justice - hearing underway in Senate and I approve both parties to swiftly approve him. He is outstanding from outstanding family with a wonderful wife.

We are going to put our coal miners back to work.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/03/2017 23:53

There's no substance to this speech. He just reiterated the $700m saving on that defence contract has already been called out as bullshit by his own government staff. Oh no, CLEAN COAL again. He's embarrassing. I feel for America, I really do.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:54

I can't watch any more.

GingerIvy · 20/03/2017 23:56

They have not been treated well, but they will be now. Clean coal. I've already eliminated a devastating anti coal legislation. A lot of people and coal miners will be put back to work.

We're preparing new Exec actions to save our coal miners from being put out of work. Miners arecoming back. Our new EPA Scott Pruitt will turn the EPA from a job killer into a job creator. You watch.

Since my inaug, we've already added 1/2 million new jobs and believe me that's just the beginning. just the beinning. And the comsumer confidence levels are through the roof. But I know you don't like Obamacare.

We're removing regulations on auto companies so we can makemore cars in US and here in KY. We've wiped out many many regs and that's just the beginning. Continuing on a weekly basis - getting rid of unnecessary regs. We're going to be good for America.

We've cleared the way for Keystone and Dakota Access pipeline. As I was signing it, I said where they getting steel - if they're building pipelines, they should be using American steel - build and manufactured right here in the US. That was like a last minute, I said Where they buying this stuff?

Buy American and hire American. Two simple rules.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/03/2017 23:56

hmm. That "I know you don't like Obamacare!" tanked - no cheering, that's for sure.

The fantasy American steel gets a mention again.

This is a tired retread of his kerrazy Florida rally.

cozietoesie · 20/03/2017 23:57

Could someone remind me? Can you just re-open closed mines?

And what is 'clean coal'?

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 20/03/2017 23:57

Oh, thank fuck. They've switched over to the weather.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 21/03/2017 00:00

And what is 'clean coal'?

It's what the coal-fired power stations run on in Narnia and Middle Earth. Meanwhile, back here on Earth, it's still nasty, dirty stuff.
