Pro-Trump float hits the streets in downtown Lincoln (NE)

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Paul Hammel

A group calling itself the "Trump Unity Bridge" pulled up alongside the State Capitol over the noon hour in an impromptu show of support for the embattled president.

Loudspeakers on the float poured out patriotic music as a speaker inside the pickup truck explained that he had driven 40,000 miles to demonstrate his support for Trump and his policies.

Capitol security shooed away the trailer before a reporter could talk to the driver because the float was blocking traffic and did not have a parade permit.

and loosened the lug nuts so all the wheels came off mid parade. It would be a fitting metaphor.

Don't look at me like that. While I'm usually awake at 4 AM, I'm too far away for such shenanigans. I just wouldn't cry for them if it happened.

The deplorables who made those signs undoubtedly don't pay attention to the news.

Those are just empty slogans and deceptive lies, and for the life of me I cannot understand why Trump's supporters still think they are actually true.

that he hasn't accomplished anything. Of course he hasn't presented any bills to Congress so they COULD stand in his way, but that's another subject.

MOAR, a grassroots movement, announces its first nationwide rally to peacefully unite in honor
of America.You are invited to join with us on September 16 at the National Mall in Washington DC.
Due to increasing political and social unrest, many believe that core American values,
customs and traditions are being sacrificed. Rally participants will demand protection for
traditional American culture while they express their love for the United States and the
America First agenda. MOAR will send a message to the world that the voices of mainstream
Americans must be heard.
MOAR
we are coming together to send a direct message to Congress, the media
and the world that we stand united not divided to protect and preserve American Culture

Nothing better to do than waste your time on a man who wouldn't pee on your face if your head was on fire? Trump wants to turn your healthcare into "wealthcare", he wants to cut taxes for the rich (you're not rich by any chance, are you? ), he wants to walk all over our Constitution, he's cutting the Bill of Rights to shreds, he's giving corporations carte blanch to pollute our rivers and streams, he wants to spend YOUR TAX DOLLARS to enrich himself and his family...........................just what the hell do you think you owe this asshole? HE CARES NOTHING ABOUT YOU! All of his campaign promises have been nothing but empty talk. He's accomplished NOTHING in seven months in Washington, buy you think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

You're wasting your time and money, rube. And Donald Trump doesn't give two shits about you and your family. You're a little slow on the uptake, aren't you?

And I can see you spared all expense on making your "float".
