Donald Trump, who attempted a coup against the United States government and remains unindicted for any of it, held a “campaign rally” in Waco, Texas on Saturday. The event coincides with the 30th anniversary of the deadly federal standoff at the compound of the arms-hoarding child-raping Waco cult dubbed the “Branch Davidians;” the odds that the Trump camp was not sending a message to the violent anti-government far-right militia crowd whose help he already solicited in his previous coup attempt are vanishingly low.
Trump’s been all but promising that his followers will engage in mass violence if American law enforcement dares lay a hand on him in response to any one of his suspected crimes, so the nods to violent militias have been coming hard and heavy in recent weeks—including a heavy push of antisemitic conspiracy theories lifted from neo-Nazi groups
As for the actual substance of Trump’s Waco event? Don’t worry, there wasn’t any. It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these but Trump hasn’t learned any new tricks, he assembled the usual gaggle of two-bit conspiracy theorists and sedition backers to goose the crowd, and if you’re wondering how the Donald Trump fan club has been doing of late, after Dear Leader mounted an attempted coup, then slithered off to Florida to surround himself with yet another layer of outlet mall lawyers to fend off yet another wave of investigations into his crimes?
Oh, they’re all in fine form, don’t you worry about that. Fine form.
Can you imagine living next to that guy. I bet his children not only don’t talk to him, they’ve all moved at least three states away.
Then there’s this interview. Surely the guy being interviewed is not serious. You can’t tell me this one isn’t a stand-up comic just pranking the interviewer. I mean, come on:

“He goes out to these restaurants and meets the people.” …..????
Other than the dining room at Mar A Lago, what restaurant has he been seen in? He’s not dropping in to diners in Iowa to meet the locals.
So it’s the same-old same-old, but this time with a heavy tinge of implied violence and a bunch of people onstage who, by definition, think that rallying a crowd to attack the U.S. Congress is a valid Republican response to getting sad news on an election day.
Marjorie Taylor Greene was there to regurgitate antisemitic tropes from whatever neo-Nazi propaganda flier she last swallowed:

Then, there’s this Mongoloid idiot who is a boil on the ass of humanity.

As for Trump himself, the man will never learn a new trick. Not ever. He is fueled by grievance and paranoia. Everyone he’s ever met is a big guy with tears in his eyes who thinks he’s Palm Beach Jesus or whatever.

Seriously, these people shouldn’t be allowed to own butter knives, let alone sharp objects or firearms.
So that was that. There was no big announcement that everyone should grab their guns and come gun down Trump’s latest enemies. There was sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, because of course there was. But mostly Trump was just the treasonous ball of shit he’s always been, a man with grade-school solutions to every problem and who only really cares about the donations that are rolling in from the goobers . . . rolling into his pocket, not into his campaign.
