that's before it started, but even during the speech was still a small crowd

Is... is that four seasons total landscaping?!

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

It might be. There was definitely at least one dildo there.

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 38 points 3 months ago

This came up on reddit. it was pointed out in the comments this picture was taken an hour and a half before the event started. it did fill out for when he was speaking

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah context matters and fair is fair. I mean they don't share that philosophy, and while I'd like to maintain the ethical high ground, reality dictates that we have to speak in a language they understand.

[-] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Pics or it was empty

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 37 points 3 months ago

I would have gone, but I had to feed my cats :(

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago

Oh, looks like Michigan must have a Four Seasons landscaping too

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Wait, seriously. Did they do it again??

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Nah, the Trump campaign is rapidly running out of places they can do rallies, because a lot of cities are requiring them to pay up front. This is normally unusual, but Trump stiffed SO MANY PLACES that he still owes $500kish from his last two campaigns.

Normal businesses are easier to keep away legally than cities.

I'm pretty sure I've been to at least 2 weddings with more people than that

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

Seems like there could have been about as many semi-trucks as there were attendees at that event.

[-] Uli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

Dang, most of the pixels didn't even go.

[-] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

This isn't the correct picutre though right? this was before he was speaking. There was more people than this when he started speaking apparently. Like way more, but definitely not what is expected from a VP.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

I made this for a different thread and then decided to not use it, so I'm going to post it here:

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 17 points 3 months ago

"Get in the damn Secret Service murder car, JD!"

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

🎵 Get out of my dreams, and into my [secret service murder] car 🎵

[-] dwemthy@lemdro.id 6 points 3 months ago

Thank you for this, it's awful

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

I guess people like their recliners better than jd

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

Nobody likes a recliner better than JD!

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago

Recliner? I barely know 'er!

[-] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

If they leave their homes to go to a political rally, who will protect their soft, smooth and willing furniture from JD Vance's insatiable attention?

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Now I want a parody of those 90s sexual harrassment PSAs but its just furniture talking about Vance. Bonus points if ya also do one based off those real fucked up 50s anti-gay ones, like really if ya can pull that off with the fucked up overtones intact ill be impressed.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago

"There are dozens of us! Dozens!"

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Cheezus, there were more people at my kid’s backyard birthday party.

[-] Art3sian@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Why weren’t any of us invited? Fucking selfish, bro.

[-] Sir_packsalot2@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 3 months ago

The Republicans couldn't come up with better

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

He’s soooo unlikeable you can’t expect people to turn out for that

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org -5 points 3 months ago

"If I'm being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side," reported a tech correspondent Chris O'Brien. "So about a total of 200 people potentially?"

Chris O'Brien can't do basic multiplication.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 18 points 3 months ago

10 rows, 10 seats on each side: 2 sides.

10 * 10 * 2 = 200.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 3 months ago

Oh, two sides! I didn't understand that. It's right there "on each side" but that didn't click for me as meaning this times two. Rereading it now, it's obvious.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I will always upvote someone who admits a mistake. Good on you.

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I upvoted you for upvoting it and I upvoted it itself myself.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

10 rows x 10 seats per row = 100 seats per side.

100 seats per side x 2 sides = 200 seats.

Where is the error?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

As someone else pointed out and I acknowledged, I didn't read it as two sides of that many seats each. Once I looked again I could see it was said plainly. My bad.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
