Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

I can't wait for life without Trump! Who's going to clean up the mess? I suggest after the election the mods delete all pictures of Trump from rationalia.

Fucking hell - that's far more chilling that Seabass's videos of wannabe warriors for fascism, and they were pretty chilling.

Yeah, I've got to think that if it weren't religion, it'd be treated as a cause for concern about his mental health.

ie I was appointed by unseen forces to live in this time, so that I could change the course of history through the power of my relationship with those same forces...

Hey, I might make that something like a daily affirmation!

My affirmation is "This, too, shall pass".

Works for both politics and constipation.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yeah, take away the mumbo-jumbo and it's basically "We are chosen, special, and are absolutely entitled to have things our way - and if that doesn't happen the other lot are evil and the system is rigged."

This is Eppley airfield. They bussed 29 000 people to the rally, because only officials and police would park at the rally. The roads in and out of the airport are a two lane road and a four lane road going West.

where the above map says Iowa and Nebraska (by the lake, the left pair) there is a long term parking lot, street level

it holds maybe 1000 cars. The 29 000 had to park elsewhere.

Though there may have been air shows at the rally site in summer, it had never been used for a wintertime event.

Mybe they thought it was free now. Trump is going to do Vegas after the election. He will be the Elvis of politics. "Build the wall." "Mexico will pay for it." Night after night.
