Goodness sake. If you go to Trump’s pro-virus Junetenth rally in Tulsa, you have to get a reservation.
To get a reservation, you have to sign this:
Okay, if the virus is under control or gone away, why do people have to sign away their legal rights to go to the Trump rally?
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
How about the people who get infected by the Trumpistas attending the rally? Shouldn’t attendees also have to promise to indemnify the Trumpski Organization in that case?
Pop quiz: how many MAGAtts will be wearing masks? Answer: zero or fewer…
1We can only hope you know who gets sick. Oh, and after the stuff DUHTrumpf said today, Tulsa quotes should be really something. He said a lot of stupid things today, but saying how the National Guard cut thru protestors like “a knife thru butter” gets my nod for today, but it’s still early.
2Will they do that for the GOP convention in Florida?
3It’s too bad election officials can’t put something like that on the ballots this November:
By voting for Donald J. Trump (R) for President, you acknowledge an inherent risk that everything could go to shit, even more so than it already has. You voluntarily assume all risk, because Donald J. Trump has clearly stated “I don’t take responsibility at all.”
4It will be interesting to see how well these things are attended. Those MAGAts are very slow at getting things through their heads.
5They have to sign the waiver because he can’t get a NDA from everyone.
6Juneteenth? He’s really doing this on Juneteenth?
7Hold on to your butts…
Multiple strains of coronavirus are now circulating in the US. Here’s what that means
***********************************
Edit: As the coronavirus moves around the country, it’s mutating — but that isn’t as bad as it sounds.
Wait, what? Oklahoma OK-LA-HOMA
new analysis published in the journal Science found seven new strains of the coronavirus that have been circulating in California — and that’s according to a very small sample size.

I’m glad we can speak freely here at Antifa World Headquarters. Hundreds of members from our super secret cell in an undisclosed location have already registered for the Tulsa rally. We had a huge covid 19 party last week with infected Canadians who tunneled under the boarder, and have been quarantined together to build up a massive viral load. We will be yelling and cheering and foaming at the mouth just like real Trumpistas, but spewing highly contagious droplets as we execute a computer designed path through the crowd to maximize infection. Even more insidious is our crack team of passable cross dressers who will be turning attendees gay. Our Cell will be the ones wearing our Maga hats tilted slightly to the left. The password is my favorite palindrome, “Tulsa night life: filth, gin, a slut.”
9Don’t tell anyone. Long live the revolution.
Are they dead yet? Please tell me they’re dead.
10I hope everyone of them get sick. Better them than others that they will expose.
11Wally@9:
12I know we’ve done this before here, but I couldn’t resist.

Enjoy.
It’s unfortunately what is going around. I’m a member of a car club and we’re going to have to sign something similar whenever we go to a rally or race or, I suppose, picnic. The writ twits made ’em do it.
Now, there’s that thing about having your f*ing rally on Juneteenth in Tulsa, right after the anniversary of the attempted genocide there.
13(This is where that pig of a so-called president is choosing to have his redneck rally 99 years after this horrible massacre.)
The first bombs ever dropped on American soil were dropped on the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Ok.
Greenwood – the most preeminent Black community in the United States at the time – was home to 10,000 residents and contained scores of Black-owned businesses, hotels, restaurants, law offices, doctors offices, movie theaters and more. Following an incident between a young Black man and a white woman in a downtown elevator, many of the nearly 3,200 Klan members in Tulsa and countless more white vigilantes armed themselves with firearms and marched North to Greenwood.
They opened fire in the streets, set businesses and homes ablaze and dropped napalm-style bombs from fertilizer planes flying overhead.
With the help of the national guard and the local police force, they arrested nearly 6,000 black residents and forced them into temporary internment camps in the Brady Theater (now a popular Tulsa music venue) while their thriving community was systematically leveled. Many of those imprisoned were starved, beaten and killed in the same space the city hosts jubilant concerts in today.
In just a few short days, Greenwood was completely destroyed and nearly every single one of its 10,000 residents were left homeless. While the official death toll from the Americans Red Cross at the time caps the loss of life at 300, some researchers estimate that the true number could rival that of Pearl Harbor and the September 11th attacks.
The Tulsa Race Massacre (NOT “riot”) was one of the greatest terror attacks in the history of this country, and yet it is so frequently missing from the pages of our history books. When it is mentioned, it is given the false label of “riot” – implying that, somehow, the Black community of Greenwood was complicit in the attack.
This is what whitewashed history does – it allows us to choose not to face the true horrors of our past, thereby absolving us of responsibility to rectifying it.
Regardless of where you live – it’s incumbent upon us (especially white people – who benefit from the same system that allowed this attack to occur, protected its perpetrators from legal action, precluded it’s victims from receiving compensation, and swept it from view of the masses for generations) to seek out the stories that have been purposefully hidden or misrepresented in order to continue perpetuating false, placated narratives of our country’s true past.
Once we know – we need to act.
Share your knowledge of our past with others.
Learn about implicit biases and check your own consistently.
Look at current events through a lens of systemic racism and call it out.
Support Black owned businesses and businesses run by other communities of color – use your money as a tool to help right centuries of wrongdoings.
Support organizations like the Greenwood Cultural Center who fight to preserve this history and restore the community of Greenwood.
The story of Greenwood is not an isolated one.
We have so much work to do as a country to undo a history of violence and oppression against communities of color — and it all starts with knowing.
To learn more about Greenwood and Black Wall Street today, I would encourage you to follow The Black Wall Street Times on Facebook, Twitter (@BlackWallStTime), or online at http://www.theblackwallsttimes.com.
14AK Lynne:
15Thanks.
Holding a MAGA rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth is like holding a rally at the gates of Auschwitz on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
16Mike @15: Don’t give Miller any ideas…..
17Trump has screwed up again, the highlight of any convention is the acceptance; the RNC is issuing 49,900 credentials to Charlotte. Trump is going to accept at a 12,000-person arena in Jacksonville; that is going to leave 37,000 very unhappy people. The state chairman is going to have to choose and if he is smart he is going to come down with a quick case of C19
18How disrespectful and absolutely mean that this disgraceful POS of the US has chosen to violate such a meaningful day to the citizens of our country by having a “rally” for his sycophants.
Everytime I think that stupid man has gone as low as he can go, he digs another ditch for himself, and defiles our country.
19Thanks AK Lynne. I have read elsewhere about Greenwood but not that much detail. The link is much appreciated.
That’s not the waiver the attendees should be signing. They SHOULD be signing one that states they will NOT seek medical treatment of any kind if they get the virus. Instead they should promise to depend on Their Lord to protect and heal them and their family and friends to send Thoughts and Prayers.
20I had to sign a disclaimer document just to get a pedicure the other day! I guess I was part of history!
21Before they sign the waiver, they have to be able to read it. And understand words.
22Where have the MAGA rallyers been? Did anybody show up for MAGA Night at the White House? I haven’t seen coverage of any pro-Trump or pro-police counter-protests. no conspicuously armed citizens accosting a Governor.
Covid-19 is “surging” in Tulsa. If that continues, I wonder how many fans will show up for the rally next week.
23Once upon a time I thought I had a good grounding in History, including American History. And a few years ago I started learning about Andrew Johnson, what happened to radical Republicans and emancipated African Americans during Reconstruction^ and most recently Tulsa 1921. I’m still considering how to curse out my High School History Dept…
^ Though we did have a tiny bit about carpetbaggers, then somehow skipped to the Spanish American war.
24What Mike said, at #16. And somebody in the Trump administration knows that, and set it up deliberately. Bet on it.
So, what if Trump held a rally, and nobody came? But that would be the smart move, and they’re not that smart.
25The waiver one must sign is missing Trump’s name personally. OOPS! This *might* inadvertently imply that anyone contracting Covid-19 as a result of attendance at his hate rallies *could* hold him liable. Not that he would pay up if history is a reliable indicator, but it does open interesting possibilities.
The depths of his depravity and the limits of his cruelty are boundless. I think he has surpassed any of the monsters before him.
26The GOP convention is apparently being held across the street from my apt. No joke. But I’m not holding my breath. We already caught our Mayor trying to steal our public utility and sell on to Wall St. He failed due to community pressure. This is another stunt to Curry favor, no pun intended. It is suspected that Lil Tater Lenny will attempt to loot the city pension fund to pay for it since we already know that Il Dooshie doesn’t pay his bills. Ain’t this a kick?
27Trump says he’s responding to his African-American friends and supporters by changing the date.
