    According to the report, “More than one attendee expressed disappointment after walking into a stand advertising beer and being informed no alcohol was available.”

    That might explain the exodus of a substantial number of attendees who were filmed streaming out, many wearing MAGA hats, while the president could still be heard speaking in the background, which was posted to social media.

    Adding to the desultory affair, FBI Director Kash Patel’s girlfriend, singer Alexis Wilkins, reportedly butchered the opening Star-Spangled Banner, with one critic observing, “She sounds like A DEAD CAT!!!"

    lol

      Alexis Wilkins, 27, a Nashville-based aspiring country singer

      Yikes! They’ve been calling her “singer”, “country singer” and “country musician” up til now.

      She murdered the national anthem so bad that Raw Story downgraded her to wannabe 😆

      “More than one attendee expressed disappointment after walking into a stand advertising beer and being informed no alcohol was available.”

      I mean, I get it: I would think it would take a helluva lot of alcohol to try to sustain interest in/support for the magamushbrain cult. At least for anyone that does not have a room temperature IQ.

      Had a friend who said it’ll pick up over the weekend. I don’t think he realizes that even on off days there should be loads more people out there. They would take the days off if they could if it offered ANYTHING remotely interesting to do.

        Supposedly, there was another event very close and it had quite a few people at it. So weather can’t be the only factor.

        It’s an awful layout for a poorly planned fair.

        Nobody wants to stand in the open fields during a heatwave with nothing to do. Those fields are huge too, they fit thousands of people. So the pictures were always going to be pathetic. No matter what.

        That the booths are also just glorified stamp collecting with empty chairs, the entertainment sucks, and nobody wants to be affiliated is the cherry on top of the shit cake though. You can’t even get some good photos with paid extras inside.

        I’m willing to bet hotels cost too much and they didn’t advertise either. Probably whoever organized it spent all their money on those ridiculous tents and pocketed the rest (or cut a deal with the tent vendor, like Parks and Rec)

          The original America250 plan was created a decade ago by a bi-partisan group. Trump’s Freedom250 was created in January 2025.

          Even then, he had more than a year to come up with some great attractions.

              Old joke.

              A scientist is incredibly vain. He gets hired to work with a disease that causes human skin to putrefy. One day he discovers he’s caught the disease. He looks in the mirror, and the skin is literally rotting off his face.

              “Yes, but on me, it looks good.”

              Six months from now he’ll be boasting about how splendid it was.

        Even before the huge spikes in costs of hardware, I always thought of things being permanent on the 'net is a rather interesting one, given I’ve seen entire communities taken offline, never to be seen again. Maybe alphabet agencies or the people that bought up defunct companies have them, but I doubt even that.

    “I’m not partaking in any celebration of this ¢untry. Not a misspelling”

    That’s a direct quote from a Signal exchange with family member that has worked for the DoD most of their life. That’s where most Americans are now, in my opinion.
