Is this Trump rally in Tulsa Saturday really going to happen?!? If so, this is un-freaking-believable. It would be evidence of my theory that he feels he needs to out-do himself at least every couple of weeks or so, just to keep the show going.

I know attendees need to sign a waiver saying it's not Trump's fault if this kills them. Do they also have to pay to attend?

Is it expected to sell out? (Surely they are not going to have "checkerboard seating", right?)

How many attendees will be local, versus ones that will spread the virus around the country? I can easily picture people driving in from 200-300 miles away. What are the population centers near there? There's OK City and, after that... Dallas? Kansas City? Maybe some people come in from farther away and stay in area hotels?!? Holy moly...

I heard they are going to supply masks, but surely, if you're there wearing a mask, you're not "all in" and going to a Trump rally is about being all in, right?

Trump's supposedly something of a germaphobe. Are they going to have plexiglass shields in front of him? Blowers blowing the air away from him?

I find this absolutely astounding in its ignorance. I will say one thing for Trump: He never ceases to amaze me...

You've been in California too long.

Will Kellyanne be there?


She selected "the Heather Locklear" on the menu.

This is not a good look

Trump Campaign Manager Says 800,000 Registered For Tickets To Tulsa Rally But The Venue Only Seats 19,200

The Trump campaign has put out conflicting figures on how many tickets have been registered for their June 20 rally in Tulsa, with campaign manager Brad Parscale now claiming 800,000 people registered for tickets despite the venue seating just over 19,000.

KEY FACTS
"Trump #MAGA Rally in Tulsa is hottest ticket ever!" Parscale tweeted on Friday. "Over 200K tickets already & it's not even political season."

He added that they are "looking at a 2nd event in town to get more people to be with Donald Trump," likely because the venue, the BOK Center, only seats 19,200 people.

Three hours later, Parscale tweeted "Correction now 300,000! Going to be epic!"

A few hours after that, Trump announced that he would push the rally back from June 19th, and tweeted, "we have already had ticket requests in excess of 200,000 people. I look forward to seeing everyone in Oklahoma!"

On Sunday morning, Parscale claimed an enormous increase, tweeting, "just passed 800,000," calling it the "biggest data haul and rally signup of all time by 10x."

Forbes has reached out to the Trump campaign for clarification on whether Parscale is referencing ticket requests and whether they plan to distribute more than 19,000 tickets.
... ...

While the bulk of registrations for the rally are likely genuine, there have been some less-than-authentic ones as well. SomeTwitter users claimed to have registered for the rally just to ensure there would be empty seats. TikToker Mary Jo Laupp encouraged her followers to do something similar in a viral video that got 1.7 million views.

BIG NUMBER
39. Tulsa County has seen a spike in coronavirus cases in recent days. The Tulsa Health Department reported 39 cases on Saturday and 82 cases on Friday, up from just 8 cases reported last Sunday.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR
The Trump campaign is already preparing for what seems inevitable by requiring registrants to sign a waiver agreeing to "assume all risks" of coronavirus transmission and agreeing not to sue the campaign.

It really warms my heart to see the concern here over a Trump rally and how dangerous covid is now that the riots and protests have calmed down. I mean really...what a caring and thoughtful post this is. The only thing really missing is pictures and videos from Democracy Now..

So much for the narrative that Captain Catastrophe is expanding his approval with the black community. This will solidify the perception that people have of him 140+ days out from the election. This stunt will be remembered far longer than the actual rally.

Check it out in a theater near you.

You missed the CHUD advisory notice.

I saw it but I still like the meme.

So I guess people are camped out in front, waiting to get tickets, or get in or something? I would still be surprised if it is a sold-out event, but really, nothing should shock me at this point.

Trump has threatened potential protesters. Tulsa mayor has lifted the curfew for Friday and Saturday nights. One way or another (or both), this promises to be an epic event, complete with an aftermath.

Actually this has been good for them. The Juneteenth rally which was going to be COVID cancelled was held because of the Trump rally. The national media has descended on Tulsa and also shined a light on the rally and the 1921 massacre. Front page story in NYT.
