Well I guess if you aren't aware enough to block ads in the year 2015, you would be attracted to literal 1996 web design.

The page source for Drudge is a truly beautiful thing...nary a CSS file to be found, a single random media query floating at the top, inline styling for everything, I hope it never changes.

Also it's pretty bullshit to claim that Drudge Report is a good "news site" design because it doesn't have any actual news most of the time. It's just a page of links to other sites.

The very existence of this tells me Christie doesn't have an inner circle worth a poo poo anymore since he had to burn out his old one to survive the immediate fallout of the bridge fiasco. Your campaign consiglieri, your Carville, Rollins or Rove, is supposed to prevent things like this from happening. Vetoes the idea of you doing an event like this out of hand, and leaves it to you to figure out why. Sure, go glad hand the NYC cops in fat man business suit. But this... but this... I will not abide another stretch pants incident!

The tickets for the event are $150 per couple and will be Saturday. Trip Report  Oh boy. Oh boy. What an experience this was. The entire gathering was a bit haphazard and seemingly thrown together. All the bullet points below are in the exact order he said them in his speech to us. The speech was jumbled, he rambled, and he filled it with business jargon (contract, negotiate). He also acts like he can run the country like a corporation. We came an hour early to get some good seats in the front row. The doors to the room he was speaking is was shut due to him doing a radio interview. While waiting we saw some great stuff. All of his entourage/handlers had name tags. There was a difference in the name tags. Men were Trump advisors. Women were Trump Hostess. Take from that what you will. They gave out the above buttons, a sticker just like it, and eventually white T-shirts with that Trump logo on the front and the saying on the back. The shirts only came in XL or XXL because all Iowans are fatties, or maybe because everything was done with the least amount of effort possible. Don't worry I have a shirt.  Eventually he left he room to go and hide from the hordes of unclean that were starting to show up. That guy he is talking to had to be some kind of big donor because a lady (I find out later the Republican chair for the county) pulled him aside to let him talk to Donald. We got to go sit down about 3:50 and was able to get aisle seats in the third row. We wanted to sit upfront, but the left side front seats were reserved for his entourage/handlers/local republican chair. At least that is what they told the 90 year old woman who sat down with her younger friend (also woman and old). They proceeded to move them to the fourth row. That was a good move that got people grumbling and 15 minutes later moved them back up to the front. The crowd grew as 4:30 came. It was made up of very old women, some very old men, local upper middle class/rich folk (my girlfriend pointed this out because she has had to deal with most of them due to her job), a troop of boy scouts (8 in total), 5 FFA members, my girlfriend, me, and a cranky old veteran in a wheelchair wearing a Bernie Sanders for President T-Shirt. As people strolled in his entourage put people where ever an empty seat was. This was for optics and ended up separating families. I'm sure the young African American boy was thrilled to be placed 2 rows and 7 seats away from his mom in a sea of white folk. At least his worried expression said so. Hey at least he had a sign to raise up for the photos! In fact there was 8 to 10 signs! All provided by Trump. I'm also pretty sure the Veterans for Trump sign was given to someone who never served at first. That man later gave it to a much older gentleman who had served (or at least his navy tattoos led me to believe this). I would say in the end there was close to 275 people. The news says record breaking 400, but they only had 198 chairs to begin and brought in about 30 more white plastic lawn chairs. Plus the media and entourage. I'm also being generous with the 275. They also played a ton of standard patriotic music. I only note this because the songs would start quietly and grow louder towards the end of them. The first few songs everyone grew quiet as the song grew louder. After Trump didn't show up people just started to ignore them and continued to talk. At least they talked at first. 4:30 rolled around and we saw this:  We saw this until 5:00. He was a half hour late and the crowd almost turned. Now that would have been good, but sadly I think this was part showmanship and part no fucks given. At 5:00 they asked for everyone's attention. Had the boy scouts be a color guard and walk up with the flag while the national anthem played. This had a funny moment when half way through everyone started singing the anthem. Was a little odd. We also did the pledge of allegiance (did this at the Sander's thing too). The Republican chair came up and said it is an honor and blah blah. Introduced a veteran of Iraq who said Donald will tell Obama/Hillary that "You're Fired!" Got some laughter and hoots out of the crowd. Then Donald came up and started talking.  Hey did you know that on June 16th everyone will be surprised and that what he will say will make many people happy. He might be running. He can only say might and maybe because of legal things. You understand don't you. Everyone nods in understanding. -Did you know that Saudi Arabia makes $1 billion dollars a day. Did you know that last year we gave $788 million to them. I sure didn't!  -Mexico isn't our friend. They let hundreds of thousands of people come here. Flowing like water to take our jobs. -Bergdahl was a traitor and we shouldn't have given up five killers for him. We got ripped off in those negotiations. -We need to get tougher with Iran. -China is beating us by devaluing their money through the trade deals. -The TPP needs to broken up into 11 contracts with a single one for each country. -Those 11 countries think we are stupid. This is because our politicians are stupid. -Mexico has people killing us. Hundreds of thousands of illegals flowing in and they are not the best and brightest. In fact 2 border patrol agents told thing only 10% are good. the other 90% are drug dealers, murders, and rapists.  -"We are the world's dumping ground." -"Some good people come in I guess." -Those of us who welcome them into America are stupid. -Mexico is becoming the next china and has stolen a Ford plant. This is stupid. -All politicians are dumb -If on the 16th he announces he is running everyone will be happy. -Politicians and media will say it is "bullshit" -He is a lone wolf in the pack. -Doesn't want donors or lobbyists. -If he is elected, he will only place smart people in his staff and cabinet positions. These people are Wall Street bankers and people he knows.  -We will save social security by twisting the arms of China, Mexico, and Japan with new trade deals -Ford should let illegals drive their new cars here. -Would tell Ford he would charge 35% tax on everything built by them in Mexico to strong arm them back into the US. -He has lobbyists and loves them and pays them -He will strong arm more companies like Ford. He knows how to Negotiate. -He loves free trade, but the stupid people ruin it. -He doesn't need lobbyists but hires them -If he is in office he will tell lobbyists and donors to go away because he knows how they work and doesn't need their money because he is rich. -Japan attacks us with trade and won't let our cars in the country. Don't see them driving a Chevy. -He likes China a lot. In fact owns a few buildings there. They always pay rent on time. -The country is stupid. ( I think this one was a slip up) -We should keep our oil -When 9/11 happened "they" (I'm guessing Muslims) sent families to Saudi Arabia not Iraq -Obama tells enemies everything  -He thinks we should screw all of "them" (again Muslims) -We are paying Iran, but deal isn't happening. He knows the Art of the Deal and plugged his book. -Hey did you know nobody thinks he is running. Find out the 16th. -Iran has 4 prisoners. Give them back before we make a deal. -Asks why Kerry is in a bicycle race and broke his leg. He is 72. How is he a leader? -Iranians are killers and Persians. -Iran is tougher and smarter than us. They are out negotiating us. -Says Iran is "tapping" us. Tapping is when you go back and forth saying maybe, maybe not, yes, or no. I may die from holding back. -Wants double or triple sanctions on Iran. They will negotiate then. -He has amazing life and doesn't care if loses. Would just go to the beach. -Our government system is easy to manipulate. -Iraq had 2,200 Humvees left behind and ISIS has taken them all. -Iraqis flee when two shots are fired -Heavily implies he was against the Iraq war. -Money should be given to veterans and family from Iraq oil money.  -ISIS is building hotels in Syria with Iraq oil money -16th he is coming back to make his announcement. Did you know we will be happy. -He loves what he does. HE LOVES IT. -He actually says "his campaign will be different and he has built a great thing. Some of the iconic things in the world." -APPRENTICE -Says he has to give up his shows and money making deals if he runs and that this is a lot to give up. -The American dream is dead but he will bring it back. -somewhere in the speech he did say "Reagan was great." That old man in the wheel chair laughed very loudly. I tried very hard to get a picture with him:  Then he was done. He walked out and people swamped him. I did hear him say to a news anchor that we need to make jobs to fix college problems. "Mr. Trump can I get a photo?" Annoyed Trump, "Hurry up!"  We did get free ice cream.  Local paper full of lies I unfortunately can not go to the Jodi Ernst Roast and Ride due to money being tight, but might try and see if I can get a Scott Walker picture outside the Grassely Fundraiser. Still looking at the 2015 Family Leadership Summit. The girlfriend is close to saying yes to the day trip. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jun 5, 2015 |
