BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally. “We need at least 30 more buses,” an Omaha police officer just said, shaking his head at the chaotic cluster that is unfolding.

Trump BUSSED supporters in to his Omaha rally then when it ended he bailed on Air Force One and provided NO BUSSES to take them back.
It’s wrong to think of this as an oversight. This is a line item. And one easily sacrificed.
Omaha is cold as hell late October. It’s 32ºF in Omaha right now.

Suck it up MAGA trash. Degrees don’t care about your feelings.
Harsh?
If an 86-year-old froze to death walking back from a Nuremberg rally, ya know what I’d say?
“Fuck em”
This doesn’t change when you add 80 years and a Husker hoodie.
Tho I should note that this may seem like I’m talking about someone who is 166 years old. They also wouldn’t need help either.
For my California friends: I must also note that Omaha isn’t a place you can get places without a car. At all.
Most streets don’t even bother with a sidewalk since everyone drives everywhere and 8⁄10 of the population are land manatees that will drive around a parking lot for 2 hours rather than park 100 feet from the doors.
BUT WAIT,
rescue buses are around the corner,
they’re rounding the corner,
along with the healthcare plans …

It’s rare that my hometown ever makes the news.
But when it does, look out baby cuz it’s about … old people getting hypothermia and peeing themselves after getting abandoned at a Trump rally BY Trump.
Sigh.
Hey Omaha stranded Trump supporters, It was only cold because of all the thermometers!

Bus Company Supervisor: The campaign said they would pay us when we arrived. Nobody paid us. They said passengers would wear masks. Nobody had masks and they all kept singing “YMCA”. So we left because we heard from other companies they didn’t get paid last time.

And there you have it Omaha. Trump doesn’t pay his bills.

“When I said I was eager to see Nebraska’s 2nd district turn blue, I didn’t mean from hypothermia.”

I yield the floor in awe to that.

“Attendees at Trump’s rally in Rome, Georgia, on Sunday were reportedly left waiting in the dark, which saw temperatures in the 40s”

Trump simply isn’t paying for return shuttles for his crowds. This is the third city this week.
