Trump Strands His Cult in Coachella, Cult Members Blame Anyone But Trump

Fucking idiots. These people are tragically lacking brains and common sense. It's actually a miracle they've lived this long or are they all just senile?

This response deserves a Pulitzer.

What I love is that these people acknowledge they were bussed in. These are the same people who lied and said Kamala was paying for people to be bussed in to attend her rallies.

Idiots.

R3 The dude who posted the tweet about blaming the Coachella mayor for abandoning the cultists in the desert got ratioed to hell and back and deleted all his tweets about it.

But the Internet is forever.

Ok, then. Let's stop asking why they are voting for him, still. Obviously, they're gullible morons. There is no other reason for their confusion or misplaced blame.

There are definitely MAGA cult supporters in Coachella Valley and the surrounding areas - high desert and Riverside county. They used to have a pathetic MAGA car parade on Sundays along Hwy 111 for several years - although never more than 20 or 25 cars.

There's a crazy Republican contingent around Palm Desert - one shop owner on Paseo Drive (likened to Rodeo Drive for lack of other comparisons) sells MAGA merch and has signs all the time.

A lot of old white people live in Coachella Valley - it's not surprising that there's going to be some turnout. But they were still coming in from probably 100 mile radius.

What I think is HILARIOUS - is that he's using Coachella festival font to say "Donald Trump takes on Coachella" - as if this was a plot to attract young voters? So laughable. Oh he went to COACHELLA! Nevermind that Coachella festival isn't actually located in the city of Coachella - never has been.

The backpedal game is strong with the cult.

"My story stands, but I deleted all my tweets about it."

I've seen MAGA post stuff on social media that I knew was Jussie level bullshit at the time and then, after it's proven false, watch the tap dancing to excuse the posting.

"Well, it's the DEMONrats so it might as well have been true!"

"The Devil is always working, it could happen!"

"We ALL KNOW IT WAS TRUE and Soros covered it up!"

They always sound insane. Just utterly coocoo.

This is where they went - doesn't look like it had much parking available. The city of Coachella is a very spread out depressing little town on the outskirts.

It doesn't surprise me if they had to drive 15-30 minutes to get gas for the buses - there's not much out there.

I'm not surprised it was poorly organized. It was 3 miles from the Coachella Festival grounds - but that's a totally different venue and logistics.

His egotistical ass just wanted to say he played at Coachella to a crowd of fans - like he's Bruno Mars or Beyonce.

I see Elon's already deleted the OP's link.

Wow - R11's link is incredible. Much worse than I thought. Why wouldn't the buses return? Do you think that MAYBE their deposit or payment didn't go through?

KAMALA IS BUSING THEM IN…oh wait. Never mind.

I wonder how long they were out there. Even if they decided to walk, it was pitch black.

Mark my words - that Wesley Johnson is going to be BOMBARDED with hate messages from Trump for showing all of that.

MAGA patriot soldiers defeated by a 2-3 mile walk

[quote] Parking lot if a 2 hour walk.

Heaven forbid these lardos be forced to walk!

Call the government to help us!

But also, drain the swamp and get rid of the deep state!

The cognitive dissonance with these people is so obvious and alarming.

Yeah, BTW what’s with all the MAGA cult trash wanting to pride themselves on being so “tough and manly?” Half of them couldn’t make it up a slight incline without gassing. Dumbshits.

Levels of masculinity is another one of their pet issues. Funny that. I hang with a wide group of amateur fighters and advanced weight lifters - and from the inside I can tell you most hold a disdain for this kind of idiotic culture war pandering (from the right) and many despise Trump and his minions as much as people on Datalounge.

I looked up where the 3 parking lots were - they were all by Spotlight 29 and Fantasy Springs casinos - Across Highway 10.

Those aren't well-lit roads and no sidewalks. It's 5-6 miles away in the dark.

Plenty of room at those casino parking lots normally - but those places are very crowded on Saturday nights WITHOUT 15,000 Trumpers parking there. That must have caused a nightmare at the casinos.

How much you want to bet they didn't inform the casinos and just used them for the free parking lots?

And get this - they said the ranch opens at noon and people should be there by 2pm. Programming starts at 3pm. Trump didn't finish until 7pm.

It was over 100 degrees (dry heat) out there - little shade and I'm sure not enough toilets for 15,000 people. God these people are IDIOTS.

President Trump is like Moses leading his people through the desert! If some of us die for you, it's okay.

My pussy stinks from baking in the sun. Will Donald J Trump still grab it?

Reminds me of that time he stranded his supporters in Omaha and they had to walk across a tarmac in freezing cold weather.

[quote] Yeah, BTW what’s with all the MAGA cult trash wanting to pride themselves on being so “tough and manly?” Half of them couldn’t make it up a slight incline without gassing. Dumbshits.

Ironic, since Tim Walz is a hundred times more masculine than the likes of Dump, Vance, Josh Hawley, Miss Lindsey, etc.

R24 Yeah Tim has more testosterone than all of those guys combined.

[quote]I looked up where the 3 parking lots were - they were all by Spotlight 29 and Fantasy Springs casinos - Across Highway 10.

I signed up for two tickets with no intention of showing (as did hundreds of gay men in the valley did), so was provided with their instructions, I've attached their three parking venue map for reference.

No, they weren't all on the other side of the 10; there was one that was north west of the venue (Calhoun Ranch), and neither of the other lots were affiliated with the casinos. The two on the north side of the 10 were simply empty lots — not even the venues that have parking for such large event purposes. The Shitler campaign didn't want to pay for real parking where their MAGAts wouldn't have had to wade through inches of sand, stand in direct sunlight with nothing nearby to offer water or even shade, and no way in or out except by bus. The irony is that there are humongous parking structures much closer to the venue (the Larson Courthouse lot which has garage parking for something like 500 vehicles, for instance) but Shitler didn't want to pay and knew that if he made his MAGAts pay (the minimal $8 per day charge) he wouldn't get enough people to fill a phone booth, let alone the small ranch they found to host the event.

They obviously did not plan for this event. The desert is unforgiving and dangerous for the unprepared and inexperienced, let alone the crowd that has to have smoothly paved roads for their Hoverounds, walkers and wheelchairs. The venue is surrounded by vast open fields, crops, and estates that measure in multiple acres. There are stretches of road that go on for miles without sidewalks or even paved shoulders. There isn't a gas station for miles, there's only farm stands and small convenience stores nearby and given that they're all run by immigrants, I doubt they remained open especially in the hours after the rally when the MAGAts would be riled up, angry and full of shit and piss (and have no doubt, the campaign didn't bring in enough port-a-potties, either).

My guess is that they did not tell the bus company that the rally would go as late as it did, the Orange One's campaign did not want to pay the [italic]overtime[/italic] required to run the busses all day long, and the contract with the bus company spelled out that the busses would only run for a limited period of time. And this is assuming that the campaign's check cleared... if the owner of the bus company was smart enough to demand payment up front.

There was no conspiracy here, just typical poor planning by DonOld's campaign... or maybe he's so broke he simply couldn't afford to pay for a better venue, better transportation, or better parking.

Diaper Don makes a mess? No way.

^ LOVE her!

Weird

[quote] “We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside county sheriff Chad Bianco said, adding that Miller was plotting to kill Trump.

Weirder

Outright bizarre

They deserve whatever happens to them, I am completely over the Trump trash. I used to try to understand what they were about (Trumpsters in my own family), but no more. Out of empathy, out of sympathy, out of concern for their well-being.

In the words of an old Tallulah Bankhead film, Die! Die! My darling[s]!

Where is that mouthy bitch when we need her?

Another quote from R30 from the totally impartial and unbiased Sheriff Bianco:

[quote] Sheriff Bianco told the outlet he had not expected a third attempt on Trump’s life, coming after a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July when Trump was grazed with an assassin’s bullet, and the arrest of man with a rifle hiding in the bushes near Trump’s Palm Beach golf course in September.

[quote] “I thought it’s not going to happen in Riverside county,” Bianco said. “We don’t have the same sicko issues and violent protests like they have in Los Angeles. We’re better than that. Go figure.”

Tim’s locker room talks get fist bumps and nods. Trump’s, well they’re all running from the smell.

R35: I just saw that. Stupid Nazi sheriff. But I just love how the society that the National Rifle Murders Association created is now turning on them. And they're SO PISSED no one cares. Like, hey dipshits, you wanted this. Mass gun ownership and violence, and a desensitized society. Congrats!

"But it wasn't supposed to be turned on us!!"

Douchebags. Everyone involved with this is a douchebag.

R35, where's the Sure, Jan gif when you need it?

The assassination story wasn't all that believable the first time, but like a bad soap opera, it's even less believable each time they've gone back to the well to try and milk that concept for more clicks and attention.

OP, the original tweet is gone, but the post below at least describes it.

How "interesting": I can only find one article about Dump leaving his cultists stranded, but dozens about the supposed "third assassination attempt." (Which sounds like someone mistakenly took a loaded pistol to the rally. Golly.) Gee, ya think they're floating that one to distract from his MASSIVE FAILURE with MAGAts?

That smell of his, it’s like armpits and ketchup and butt.

What the fuck re that stupid fucking sheriff??? So Butler, PA and Mar a Lardo are bastions of liberal society??

That sheriff used to drop off homeless people from other parts of Riverside county into Palm Springs. He's a piece of shit and needs to go. Trust me there are some illegal shit he's doing SOMEWHERE.

It's frustrating that there are all these articles about the rally - and now the shooting - but not a PEEP about people being stranded for hours.

This makes more sense

R44 Nothing "used to" about that, he and his crew still do it. To own the libs, and of course PS had to build a new larger shelter to accommodate all the people he doesn't want in Riverside.

Stopped going to several downtown restaurants after finding out his ex wife owns or manages them and had a fundraiser for his MAGAty ass.

R46, somebody pour pigs blood on her establishment!

BTC

How much longer until that annoying little cockroach leaves????

The thing is, these idiots refused to believe that dump doesn’t pay his bills.

Even after hearing how he’s stranded people numerous times before at his cult events, these fools blame everyone and every thing else but the person responsible- their orange god.

You just can’t fix stupid or crazy.

Ha! Good!

I hope they all shit themselves and were thoroughly traumatized!

They waited in the dark and cold for about five hours which is too bad. I was hoping the last batch were still there at noon the next day, but no such luck!

Whenever I see these bonehead cops supporting Trump I wonder how many more cops would have to have been killed on Jan. 6th to get them to realize Trump hates them and would happily have them killed for his own cause.

What if twenty, thirty or forty cops had been killed that day? Whether or not that would change anything is up for grabs, but it would have been better for the rest of us either way. I'm certain a substantial number of Capitol Police are voting for Trump. Cops are just cement heads, they can't help themselves.

I wish they'd let me go on bail. I'd probably be President today myself.

These guys would set themselves on fire and then shout "cry harder, libs" as the smoke from their burning bodies disrupted someone's picnic.

Maybe that bus full of illegal immigrants and Al-Qaeda from 2016 can pick them up on their way to Texas.

[quote]To own the libs

Does anyone know a single lib that has been "owned" by these dipshits?

If by being revolted by them to the point of me shunning them is me being "owned", then ok. Consider me "owned". And happier and peaceful.

I don't need their rage or their crazy. They can take their raging crazy away from me, thanks.

CUNTELLA

The more they hype the assassination non-story, the less people talk about desertion fuck up

It's such an obvious load of BS.

Bianco is a boot licking stooge.

Haha it’s like the people who got got by Ja Rule and that executive and stranded in the Bahamas.

Trump was on Fyre!

Mary!

at least they all had each other to turn on and snap at and call names.

Why did God let that happen to them?

Right now Trump is blabbing about how someone’s political career ended because they referred to Pennsylvania as a state rather than a commonwealth. It still a state you big dummy. Even the Frau cunt on stage in a miniskirt rolled here eyes lol. This shit came on right after Walz’ exhilarating speech. That man has the gift of gab.

SILENT KILLERS

Desert scorpions attack MAGA supporters defecating in the open after Trump rally in Coachella. "We were waiting for the buses and my mom needed to 'go number two'. I was trying to shield her from the people walking by when she just fell over. That's when I saw the scorpions"

R69 LOL. That image is both frightening and joyous.

I hope he asks them to drink the FlavorAid at the NY Nazi rally anniversary. It would be like watching a locust nest extinguish itself.

Stahp, r69. As fucking hilarious as that is, I don’t believe it for a minute.

Where did they shit for 3-5 hours?

Scorpions? Tell me more.

I love a feel good story.

There's zero information about how this problem was resolved late at night. Can't imagine how pissed Riverside County sheriffs and LE are with the campaign and the wreckage (and fecal matter) left behind.

At his rally today in Pennsylvania two different people fainted from heat exhaustion. Is it mad hot right now in Philly? I think that’s where they were. Trump is so ghetto lol. He and the woman on stage, I’m not sure if she is some type of elected official or what, through shade about how people cannot afford AC because of Biden including whoever owned the warehouse they were in. Trump is rich ghetto, personified.

^^^.

moar

^^^.

R76 it is most definitely not hot in Philly. The temperature was around 68-70 in the morning and it got decidedly chilly in the afternoon. It wouldn’t surprise me if Dump decided not to air condition the event though, since air costs money.

^^^

[quote] i get the vibe; they're about 5 minutes from passing around Kool-Aid

I love Aaron Rupar. He really does suffer for the rest of us.

R78 That’s not an opera version, that’s the original. Well I’m not sure if that’s James Brown vocals original but that’s the composition of the original song. James Brown is spinning in his grave btw that this orange demon would use his shit.

Also, what the hell is he talking about re being in a factory? He was in a convention center.

R84 Was it? He said a warehouse at one point when I was watching. The man is losing his marbles yet the MSM won’t say shit.

Is that attractive woman in the black skirt-dress somebody?

It most definitely was at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, which is oddly about 30 miles from Philly, r85.

The woman onstage was puppy-killer Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota. And the high today was 65 degrees (I'm in Philly)

I canceled my subscription to the New York Times months ago, and subscribed instead to Aaron Rupar. I couldn't be happier. Aaron Rupar brings the facts.

Exactly r89. I’m sure Dump decided it was too costly to run the air conditioning, thinking it was cool enough outside. Never occurred to him that a bunch of people could create such hot air.

Are we sure people were passing out from the heat and not from toxic fumes, wafting from his diaper?

One thing I really noticed from the videos of the Coachella debacle was how grossly obese all the MAGA cult members are.

[quote]Are we sure people were passing out from the heat and not from toxic fumes, wafting from his diaper?

His fulsome dumps are like attar of the finest roses to MAGA.

In answer to Ron F.’s question at R87, here’s how the NYT sanewashed it:

“Given the medical emergencies, Trump ended the town hall after taking five questions and a few back-and-forth exchanges with Governor Noem. But he closed by emphasizing how important Pennsylvania was to his electoral prospects and repeating his false characterization of Harris’s replacing Biden on the ticket to claim that Democrats are a threat to democracy.”

Fucked up NYT

It really is despicable, r95. He spent the entire last half hour being weird and listening to the music. He didn’t “end” the town hall.

Now it makes me wonder if it was stunt so that he wouldn’t have to take more than 5 cough pre-planned cough questions.

At least WaPo did a little better with their headline:

“Trump sways and bops to music for 39 minutes in bizarre town-hall episode”

I can’t link the article but it’s actually pretty fucking funny. Here’s a snippet:

After Noem gave Trump the option of closing “with a specific song” or taking “two more fast questions,” he addressed one of his aides: “So Justin, how about a couple really beauties and we’ll sit down and relax.”

It was time to listen to Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.” After listening to James Brown, Trump began to speak again, as if remembering that he was still at an event that was billed as a town hall.

“This is the most important election in the history of our country,” Trump said, once again accusing Democrats of weaponizing elections. But then he went back to his music.

“Those two people that went down are patriots and we love them and because of them we ended up with some good music, right?” he asked. “So play ‘YMCA!' Go ahead, let’s go nice and loud!”

“Here we go, everybody,” Noem interjected.

The crowd cheered and danced to the Village People song from the 1970s, which celebrates gay cruising culture.

Link for R99. You can post a an archive link for sites like WaPo & NYT.

Notice how to Sarah Huckabee and Kristi Noem have to travel with him to rallies to go states away. He couldn’t find someone in PA that was actually from PA? What kind of a strategy is this?

How ABC covered it.

This really happened...

[QUOTE]The former president, adamant about playing his music, stood on stage for nearly 45 minutes swaying to several songs on his playlist as the crowd sang and danced along.

Nobody dared fake escort the fucker away?

Again,

[QUOTE]The former president, adamant about playing his music, stood on stage for nearly 45 minutes swaying to several songs on his playlist as the crowd sang and danced along.

Weirdest. Thing. Ever.

It's beyond a SNL sketch. Even in SNL's hey-dey (whatever you define that as -- OG cast, or the late '80s), they couldn't have dreamed-up such a bizarre sketch.

"Trump surrendering tonight's Q&A to 30 minutes of his fave songs while standing on stage, awkwardly conducting at times, echoes MANY instances of cultic leaders who, exhausted, ill, and at the end of their cognitive rope, outsource their emotional dominance subroutines...

...to canned music they personally find exquisitely sentimental. As traumatized narcissists, they are seeking comfort and avoiding work, but also assume that their core memories of pleasure will make their power and soul transparent and accessible to their followers.

Yes it's weird. No the campaign gives no explanation, because the logic is a sealed system. Believers lose themselves in the choruses. Handlers know there's nothing they can do but keep him propped up. Kristi Noem knows her inner circle status depends on staying bright-eyed.

The leader of the group I was in for 3 years maintained a Trump-campaign-like schedule of daily 2-hour sermons. Over the years he increasingly relied on his DJ to fill the room with emotional overwhelm whenever he gapped out. He was 78 too. He air-conducted the tunes.

He had a shrinking repertoire of melted talking points. But because there was never any substance to his schtick, he didn't struggle to remember details that were slipping away. He just turned to the music. All he had ever done was generated a mood. Then he died of a stroke.

Maybe helpful to keep in mind: for Trump followers the default to pure emotionality can be effective right up until the end. For some the intensity of their bond might increase, because for them as for him, the affect was the point. They weren't there for the platform.

There are people in the crowd who are uncomfortable, or who can recognize the signs, or who get bored and leave early. But for those really caught up, that 30 minutes of music and reverie might feel like the most direct and intimate contact they've ever had with him. /end

"DEMENTIA ALERT- Trump's town hall in PA dissolved as he ended the questions and played songs instead. Kristi Noem looked like his caregiver as he robotically rotated to the music. He is highly symptomatic. It's a unique situation- A dementia patient trying to act like a candidate."

"Tonight, Donald Trump:

—Told his supporters to go out and vote on “January 5th” —Rambled about Hannibal Lecter, a cannibal serial killer who is not real —Acted confused when asked if they should end the event and play a walk off song —Stood frozen and silent on stage as music played for 30+ minutes and the crowd poured out of the venue. #Weird"

THE DANCING AND SWAYING DISPLAY VIGOROUS ATHLETICISM. CONTRAST PRESIDENT TRUMP'S "ENERGY", WITH JOE BIDEN.

JOE BIDEN COULD NEVER BE MAN ENOUGH DANCE TO THE YMCA FOR 30 MINUTES ON A STAGE.

Like a birthday party 🎈 for one of the inmates in the nuthouse and all of the party goers are the staff who have to clean up the food he throws and his soiled diapers.

"Trump standing in front of a screen that says TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING while the speakers blast Nothing Compares 2 U and the people onstage try to pretend like they know what the hell is going on… it was all leading to this"

R110 This is completely surreal yo. Wow just wow.

I never liked or cared for Sinead O'Connor's music....and even I think that's beyond offensive to Sinead O'Connor. Not to mention Prince.

[quote]Then he died of a stroke.

So you say there's hope?

His insistence on playing the music reminds me of that It Takes a Thief where Marilyn McCoo insists that the group add some weird chords to the end of “One Less Bell to Answer” because she’s being extorted by baddies who have kidnapped her brother.

Re: [R87]

[quote]Notice how to Sarah Huckabee and Kristi Noem have to travel with him to rallies to go states away.

It's for protection, R101. Kristi is a better shot than his Secret Service operatives, and Sarah is the muscle. Also a way better shield than the SS.

[quote]Tonight, Donald Trump told his supporters to go out and vote on “January 5th”

Wouldn't it be great if they did?

I think it wouldn't be all that hard to convince the MAGAts that the election is November 6th and they don't want to vote early or by mail because their ballot will be stolen and altered by the Democrats. Frankly, all you'd need to do is post something on Truth Salad (with an image of one of their bad bodied butch built bleach blond bimbos).

Voting January 5th means killing the electors or congress people to throw the certification into chaos.

Nothing will deter the cult from seeing the obvious.

[quote]“I loved it,” said Jay Bauer, who was in attendance from Montgomery County. “I felt like I was sitting in a room with him. Just him. I could have been here another hour, another two hours. I was just great spending time with the president.”

[quote]Bauer’s wife, Janice Bauer, said she expected him to “take more questions,” but her opinion of Trump has not changed. “I thought he would talk longer,” she said. “However, I still will vote for him. I think he’s a very good candidate … the concert was great.”

From the "Trump War Room":

[quote]ABC News completely debunks the pathetic lie spread by Kamala and her campaign that President Trump froze on stage at his town hall. As her poll numbers drop, Kamala's lies become even more pathetic.

[quote]Nothing will deter the cult from seeing the obvious.

EVERYTHING deters them from seeing the obvious.

FYI r28 is a parody account. She has one on the bus incident, and it's equally hilarious:

The audience was thrilled to hear "Con te Fartiro" and "My Dumps."

Excellent, R2.

Why did this theme song come to mind with all the fat Trump supporters being abandoned and walking 2 plus hours in the dark to get back to the parking lot?
