One out of every four people in Alabama is a Black American. Evidently, our black family here didn’t get the personal email invitations to go to Trump’s rally because it was comprised of white people from one end to the other, and that ought to tell everyone in America what Trump means by “Making America Great Again,” again. It started with racism and it’s even more racist now. Newsmax coverage continued to call Trump “the president” and outright lied, saying Trump’s approval rating is anywhere between 51 and 54% and said it was approaching Obama’s approval rating. They didn’t say that the poll had been taken at the rally. That’s our guess.

And I see red people who may soon be dead people and we apologize for the morbid humor. But Alabama, along with every other state from Texas to South Carolina, is experiencing a COVID explosion because of a combination of the Delta variant and the lack of vaccination among the MAGAs. (Getting sick to own the libs!). Cullman Alabama is along the I-65 corridor between Birmingham and Hunstville, the state’s two biggest cities, and certainly the reason it was chosen as the location.
This has the opportunity to become one of the most awful super-spreaders of all time. Yes, it is outdoors, but we’re not sure that means much to Delta, and people (surely most without masks) will be yelling with open mouths, spreading that virus all throughout the crowd. It is actually sad, at least for the kids present – of which there were many, who may have unvaccinated parents who get sick and die.
Even Trump seemed to recognize it:

He won’t go to the hospital if he gets it, but he is one of the few there who are vaccinated. Ironically and sadly for the people who are there, he is the least likely one to die in that scenario.
Trump then progressed into his complaints about Afghanistan and how all of that was Biden’s fault. Trump had the gall to bring up Syria, which we left in three days, leaving equipment lying around, allowing the Russians – of all people, to take our bases. Trump said that while pulling out of Syria, Trump had chocolate cake with President Xi, and it was the most wonderful chocolate cake: BIZARRE
Trump: "When I was president, we only had strength. Remember the 59 shots we took at Syria? … and I was sitting with President Xi of China, you remember? Having chocolate cake at Mar-a-Lago. It was wonderful cake." pic.twitter.com/NALZT8fdYv

Jesus this guy, and he was not even one-third of the way through.
Then, he praised the Taliban, and quite frankly, it was sickening:

And people on Twitter were disgusted:

Just the same reheated "America first, America sucks, Biden is a husk, I'm the real president, we've got the bigger boats, two scoops, I'm your blood god" shtick. How could anyone not be bored to tears by this is beyond my comprehension skills. https://t.co/9iLn8FfTdf
