Oklahoma Court Will Not Block Trump Rally

The courts have ruled.

I’m going to guess next will come some type of physical blockade to try and stop people from attending. If that occurs it will only make the resolve to attend even greater. I recall Christian groups at heavy metal concerts in the 80s standing out front telling us why we should not go in. I never saw anyone turn and decide to leave. That tactic is doomed to fail as well. If people want to go they will.


All the left has done is turn this into a much bigger event than it already was which benefits the right.

Anyone going?

 

The re-open plan's phase limitations were adjusted to allow the rally. As the court ruling indicated, the fact that the plan wasn't a law and that it was so crudely and arbitraily assembled meant that enforcement of it was at the total discretion of the people who wrote it. So when Pres Trump came a' knockin they simply changed their minds to let him play. The same thing is going to happen in Florida for the GOP convention because under Florida's multi-phase re-opening plan that convention would technically not be allowed. But of course Gov DeSantis, the bootlicker that he is, will simply change the plan the day before.

Was really hoping the Oklahoma court could have found some way to shut this down but in the end they knew they weren't legislators and didn't try to be. Its a constitutional win but a major loss for the people of Tusla and surrounding communities. There will be a massive spike in cases and with that will come death. All so the President could do little more than do a live version of his Twitter sessions.

 

President Snowflake needs his ego stroked.
Same crap, different day.

 

Freedom prevailed.

 

Of course you were hoping they shut it down, can not have the political opposition legally gathering. Bad for elections and democracy.

 

Don't want VP Biden holding any rallies either. Also want the protest mob to pack up and go home. But then you know that's how I feel because we've talked about this before.

 

Well come on now if Joe has a rally the 217 people there will be able to social distance easily

No way do we need to stop political rallies on either side because of this virus. The free and open democratic election of a POTUS is far more important than this virus. Stopping rallies would interfere with that and would turn out to be a political weapon with local officials using it as such. That is a slippery slope of epic scale. Both sides would do that, it’s human nature.

 

Yea I could see the potential for that. My hangup is this, aside from the obvious infectious nature, if the government puts in place a plan for re-opening and expects all of its citizens and businesses to adhere to it but then adjusts it on the fly to suit a campaign event then it trivializes the plan.

 

Uncharted waters right now. I just am very dubious of changing the way we vote or campaign. People are cunning, they determine how to "cheat" the system pretty quickly when it's changed. I know at work we see that all the time.

 

Everyone going to a rally already supports the party holding the rally so cancelling the rally would have no effect on an election result.

 

Incorrect. Rallies are held for everything from fund raising to creating and growing local support groups thus they effect the election. You could easily also see local party campaign offices closed as "non essential businesses" if we have a 2nd shutdown. This would be weaponized on both sides.

 

It's another exammple of extreme phony hypocrist on the part of the left. Notice who the plaintiff is.

"The suit had been filed earlier in the day against the rally venue's management company, ASM Global, by Tulsa attorneys representing local groups The Greenwood Cultural Centre and the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation, along with two immunocompromised individuals."

They are the same organization that are one of the sponsors of the Juneteenth rally on Tulsa. I don't see anyone suing them for having a gathering that will draw thousands. It's there right just as it's the right of the Trump campaign and their backers to have a rally. Notice all the people not wearing masks while not social distancing. The Greeenwood Cultural Center is just one more hypocritical leftist organization. **** them.

Excellent post.

A attempt to politically weaponize C19 to interfere with the election.

I would enjoy a liberal response to this

 

I want an airplane too. I told the wife I would settle for a McLaren 720S. Still don't have either.

 

They are social distancing! There's clear gaps of at least 6 foot between each group of people

 

They are not making 6 inches distance in some of those groups..

 

Unless the consequent uptick in deaths and cases makes the authorities bring the full lockdown back and then Trump justifiably gets the full blame for both the spike and the returning lockdown. Talk about poetic justice

Trumpers, PLEASE don't ever wake up to the real effect these rallies are having on the general electorate. We're not a bunch of ignorant Germans in the 1930s. Some of us have actually been to rock concerts or seen them on TV and we know that the art and science of making crowds that aren't there look much bigger and more vociferous is well known and has been practiced for going on a century now.

And why shouldn't we "weaponize" Trump's blatant disregard for the lives of HIS OWN advocates? Trump is willing to aid in KILLING several thousand more innocent people who have done nothing more than SUPPORT him so that he can stage yet another little Nuremberg to make himself feel better about a father that went out of his way to tell him he was never loved, but was being raised as nothing more than an instrument to make the Family Fortune bigger.

I truly don't understand why the Trumpers love these elaborately and blatantly staged rallies so when each one shows more and more clearly how dangerously sick their candidate is.

 

Typical lefty response..

Ignore the Juneteenth celebration held in the same town by the same people 24 hours earlier who sued to closed down the Trump rally.

Slip in a Nazi reference, that’s almost mandatory now days.

State reason why the rally should not be held which amount to nothing more than “cause I don’t think it makes sense”.

Insult the people going.

Imply crowd sized fraud to offset the massive turnout.

Did you check all the boxes?

Now how about we talk about the 100s of thousands of Americans who died fighting the real Nazis and not your imaginary ones so people could gather in political groups in support of a freely elected POTUS? Perhaps that matters more than you opinion....

 

If you're in the same household you don't need to distance yourself

 

And you think all those groups isolated to themselves and did not interact? That they maintained 6 foot as they travelled to and from the event after parking? At the port a pots?

Yeah I’ll let your post stand on it’s own merit.

Care to address the absolute hypocrisy of the people holding a event Friday while suing to shut one down on Saturday in the same town? I bet you have a awesome reply to that...

 

Next Saturday post a photo of the rally and compare to this photo. Then look at distances

 

You make it sound like these people are being forced to go to the rally. They CHOOSE to go yet you blame Trump. How about call off the protesters, wouldn't that help?

 

I might, I've never been to a Nuremberg Rally, and I want get a current hat with provenance. I have an idea that Trump's campaign memorabilia are going to be valuable even though they're relatively commonplace because people just aren't going to believe that such a true jerkwad was ever President

OTOH I've just been tested negative and have an N95 mask, I'd probably get beaten up for wearing it.

 

I don’t care about the SD at all. Nor masks.

I just don’t care for someone trying to subvert the election process using the courts. Even more so when they are blatant hypocrites.

 

What a defense. I'm not MAKING these people drink this poison that I'm selling them. It's their fault if they die to show their support of me..

I think the protestors have made their point. I wonder when we'll see the first "Virtual" protests.

Maybe about the time Biden starts his Virtual Rallies
