Hidden silent secret majority decides to go to work
After all, it is Taco Tuesday!
In Miami it appears right wingers are developing a fear of finding that is tempering their urge to fuck around federal buildings.
Protests were scheduled for later in the day by Trump backers who have criticized the felony charges, though the number of Trump supporters and those opposing him were a fraction of the crowd compared with the media in attendance hours before the Tuesday afternoon hearing. Journalists from China, the UK, Australia, France, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland were among the hundreds of journalists who have converged on the courthouse. Some of them have spent several days camped out in the muggy heat
Ugg. I hope they’re getting danger money, and not just to stand around between groups of heavily armed humans. If you’ve never experienced what happens when the weather is hot and humid … Congratulations, try to keep it that way.
Note: The second paragraph has been revised since I started writing this post:
The crowd waiting for Trump’s arrival also included supporters who criticize the felony charges against the former president and those who oppose him, with some people waving signs and flags and at times shouting over one another. Journalists from China, the UK, Australia, France, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland were among the hundreds of journalists who have converged on the courthouse. Some of them have spent several days camped out in the muggy heat.
Is that supposed to be more accurate? Less pathetic? Whatever.
The early crowd Tuesday included what is now a staple of a Trump appearance or rally. People selling T-shirts with Trump’s face in a mock mugshot, with large letters reading “NOT GUILTY,” others hawking hats, but also, fitting for Miami, mangoes.
Makes sense. When they’re too ripe they’re thin-skinned, orange and gross.
Others came to counter the Trump supporters. Jack Kaplan, 68, drove two hours from Ft Pierce. Toting a copy of the indictment affixed to a clipboard and a sign reading “Trump is Toast,” the retired car dealer said he’ll celebrate with a $1,400 bottle of Mouton Rothschild red wine if the former president is locked away.
But what about those four buses of tRumpists?
More Trump supporters were on their way. In a Walmart parking lot in Orlando, about four dozen people dressed in red, white and blue clothing — some wearing T-shirts that said “Donald Trump Did Nothing Wrong” — boarded two buses for the four-hour trip to Miami. They planned to show their support for the former president outside the federal courthouse.
“He has done so much for us. This is what we can do for him. This is what we must do for him,” said Laurie Pettengill, who drove halfway across the state from Homosassa Springs on Florida’s Gulf Coast to go on the trip.
The trip, which was organized by a group called the Florida Republican Assembly, originally had been planned to accommodate four busloads of people.
Don’t be sad. Two out of four ain’t bad. Unless the charter company required a non-refundable deposit.
Anyway, if they showed up hoping for a rousing screech from Dear Leader they were disappointed. To the surprise of no one with half a brain, the Secret Service drove straight into the building’s garage.
