President Donald Trump held a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday. Look who joined him onstage: Cliven Bundy, his eldest son Ryan Bundy and, of course, the newly-freed Oath Keepers leader, Stewart Rhodes.

Hitler organized the Nuremberg Rally four years after he became chancellor. Trump’s using the playbook to keep his adherents energized and engaged. Gotta keep ‘em frothy and adoring (and frankly distracted) for the crap he has planned.
Key word is “organized.” All of Trump’s shit looks like it was thrown together at the last minute. This is why the Hitler comparisons are unfair to Hitler
Like the old saying goes, Hitler made the trains run on time. By comparison, Trump wouldn’t care if the rail system disintegrated. That could be another reason for continuing rallies – he’s really just in this job to fuel his ego (and to keep out of jail). The nuts and bolts of…
…governance he leaves to the people around him. And those people also lack organization. They don’t care how the country fares – they’re just laser focused on their horrible individual assignments, occasionally pausing long enough to put their head above ground and give praises to “President Trump”.
I mean you don’t gotta hand it to him per se but it’s important to look at what made him as successful as he was. Like nobody says that the autobahn is a bad highway
A motley crew of criminals! Remember when Stewart Rhodes crowd pulled weapons on federal law enforcement when they tried to get Bundy to pay what he owed us for grazing his cattle on public lands? To my knee they are never prosecuted for those actions.
Why the fuck isn’t the MSM calling this out? You’d think The Secret Service would keep them at least out of range of him after 2 ‘assassination’ attempts. I know these guys supposedly love Shitler but since when does the SS use that as a measuring stick?
There USED to be a time when White House staff would try and prevent any felons from being close enough to the President to be in an embarrassing picture.
I'd be curious to know how the Bundy's feel about Trump selling off federal lands; were they just pissed at having to pay the fed for grazing permits, or will they be just as pissed at having to pay broligarchs like Theil for permits?
Here's a convicted criminal giving some kind of intimate gesture to the leader of a right-wing religious tax-free scam wrapped in nepotism just before one of their supporters was shot and killed. Trump has the most scummy supporters in American history.
Why is he holding rallies as a lame duck if he didn’t intend to stay beyond his term? Why isn’t he… oh, you know…working as the “unusual figure” that Mikey Johnson claims he is?
That was my thought as well. He doesn't trust that the US military leadership and/or rank and file to support him, so he's shoring up his allies among the militias.

But keep yelling. Someone will hear you.
Now I think they try to stage these events.
