Fam, what?!
I would have done that shit myself free of fuckin' charge.
The entire bus ride there, I would have been on some fuck Biden and the Democrats.
Then peeled the fuck off and never looked back.
Underrated comedyMF's probably looked like this literally---->
One time in 2011, Hunter Biden was late picking up his daughter from school....she had to wait 20 minutes in the rain
I feel so wrong to all the people I've EVER called wack dancers in my lifetime so far.This goes so hard
I literally wish I could find each and every one of them and beg their forgiveness,
as now I know that compared to trump's dancing them motherfuckers were Jeffrey Daniels.
They were probably intent on stiffing the charter company. And they were like...nope...need confirmation on payment in the account tonight or it's a one way trip.
Their cars were parked about four miles from the rally site. The reporter said their press cars were about one mile away, and they just walked to their cars.
Some of those people were chartered from the airport also this is a bigger story

Hundreds of people waited hours in the cold for buses after Trump rally in Omaha
Hundreds of people who attended President Donald Trump’s rally Tuesday evening at Eppley Airfield spent up to three hours in freezing temperatures waiting for buses to take them back to their cars.
Paramedics took six people to local hospitals "due to a variety of medical conditions," said Tim Conahan, police chief for the Omaha Airport Authority.
Conahan said just over 21,000 people were screened into the event, and more people were still inside the queue line awaiting screening. Trump said during his speech Tuesday that 29,000 people were there.
The president, who spoke for nearly an hour, wrapped up shortly before 9 p.m. Some people in his audience waited until after midnight for campaign buses to take them to their cars, which were parked miles away.
Walking out of the rally, a World-Herald reporter saw two people receive help from Omaha police — an elderly woman who was warming up in the back of a police cruiser and a boy to whom an officer lent a blanket.
Trump campaign officials said they had enough buses ready nearby to shuttle people back to their cars, but said a larger-than-expected crowd slowed the buses’ return.
Arrow Stage Lines, an Omaha-based charter bus company, had 40 coach buses taking people from the South Economy parking lot and two Park 'N Go parking lots to the rally site.
Alex Busskohl, Great Plains regional director for Arrow, said those 40 buses, each of which can hold 54 passengers, began taking people to the site at 10 a.m. and didn't stop operating until everyone had made it back to their vehicles, sometime around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Busskohl said he understood that some people were upset about how long they had to wait for a ride. The area became congested because of a large amount of people walking along Lindbergh Plaza and other traffic, which delayed empty buses from returning to the site for additional pick-ups.
"Unfortunately, our buses can't just float back to where they need to be," Busskohl said.
Busskohl said he didn't blame local officials or the Trump campaign, which hired Arrow for the event.
"I think everybody worked hard," he said.
Samantha Zager, Trump's deputy national press secretary, said in a statement Wednesday morning:
“President Trump loves his supporters and was thrilled to visit Omaha last night. Despite the cold, tens of thousands of people showed up for his rally. Because of the sheer size of the crowd, we deployed 40 shuttle buses — double the normal allotment — but local road closures and resulting congestion caused delays. At the guest departure location, we had tents, heaters, generators, hot cocoa, and handwarmers available for guests. We always strive to provide the best guest experience at our events and we care about their safety.”
Traffic leaving an Eppley parking lot, which is about three miles from where the rally was held, added to the delays.
That left masses of people huddled in 31-degree weather along two-lane Lindbergh Plaza. Some tried walking back to their cars, pouring into the street, which slowed exiting traffic as well.
Omahan Jason Heard said he got to the rally site at 4:45 p.m. His bus driver told him that by that point, 8,000 people had been bused over.
After the rally, Heard said, he could see it was "going to take forever" to get on a bus, so he decided to walk. It took him an hour and a half to go what he estimated was four miles. His cousin, who took a bus back, arrived about 30 minutes later.
"To me, it was more like people just leaving a concert and heading back to their cars," he said. "Anybody that was shocked by what happened at the end of the night wasn't really paying attention."
It would have been nice if organizers had had a plan for getting disabled people back to their vehicles, Heard said, but he didn't hear complaints from other people who were walking back.
Kris Beckenbach of Lincoln volunteered to help at the rally. She said Wednesday morning that she finally made it back to her car at 12:15 a.m.
"We were all parked over at Eppley," she said. "We were 3½ miles through darkness to get there. There was no direction given. I expected at the end of the rally somebody will say, 'Go this way and there will be buses waiting.'"
Buses came, she said, but "they didn't come back for an hour and a half."
She didn't blame organizers, however. "How do you practice for that?" she said, noting the thousands of people who attended.
Jane Kleeb, the chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, commented on the delay in clearing the crowd. “Leaving thousands of Nebraskans stranded in the cold captures the entire Trump administration," she said. "I hope those responsible for the poor planning to feed Trump’s ego will be held accountable and that fellow Nebraskans turn out to vote to end this chaos.”
Some people weren't dressed for the cold, Beckenbach said: "For some people, it was really rough." She noted that she saw emergency responders taking some people out.
"When you go to a Husker game, when you go to any big event," she said, "you expect that you're going to have to take care of yourself and there's going to be waiting."
Beckenbach said she didn't hear anyone "talking inappropriately to anyone else. People were respectful. We all just got tired and cold."
The Trump supporter said she would do it all again: "I would go up early and stand there all those hours."
"It was an adventure," she said. "It was absolutely an adventure."

At one point in that thread it said the busses were stuck some place. I don't know if that meant they were physically stuck due to being physically impeded, or if it was because of the heavy traffic. I haven't followed this today, but last night I had the impression the busses were paid for, they just couldn't get there for some reason.
Edit: the article Lexx just posted said it was the traffic/people on the roads.
Lol
Beau is the man dont even have to play the video just read his shirt...

"Trump treated the MAGA Crowd just like MAGA Crowd Treated the Old and the Vulnerable during this Pandemic..."

This motherfucker must print his own shirts right before each video.
I was just thinking that. He definitely has a heat press.
It is clear now that there was never ANY plan by the Trump team to shuttle supporters the 3.7 mile distance BACK to their cars. Omaha Police finally contacted the Omaha public bus system (MAT) to bring buses to help out because it was below freezing and nearing midnight. Apparently as long as the people were there in time for the photo op, no one and nothing else mattered.
Omaha Trump Rally Attendees Stranded, Several Taken to Hospital Suffering Hypothermia
www.newsweek.com
Backers of President Donald Trump were left stranded overnight, with several taken to hospital for hypothermia after an Omaha campaign rally ended in chaos.
Hundreds were bussed in to the Eppley Airfield site, leaving their cars in parking lots, but were left wandering up to four miles in the cold after coaches failed to pick them up.
"President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally," CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted at 10:21 p.m. CDT.
Zeleny, who was at Tuesday night's event, described the scene as a "chaotic cluster" as Omaha police officers scrambled to provide transportation for those stranded.
"It's hundreds and hundreds of people who came on buses - forced to park miles away - who were stranded," he wrote.
Thousands turned up to the Make America Great Again rally in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night.
"Parking at the Trump rally is full," Omaha Police Department tweeted just after 6 p.m.
"Shuttles will no longer be transporting people to the event. You will not be able to access the rally by foot, Uber, or any other means of transportation. Parking is not allowed in surrounding neighborhoods, roadways or businesses."
By 9 p.m. the event ended but many faced a 3.7-mile walk from TAC Air to the South Economy parking lot at Eppley.
"Officers picking up people wandering in the cold unable to locate their vehicles and are taking them to various parking lots," local news provider Omaha Scanner tweeted.
"Officers who do not have an assignment are going around to parking lots to pick up stranded people and attempt to locate their vehicles. Airport maintenance vehicles also assisting," the account said.
Medics were on hand to treat those, particularly the elderly, with visible medical issues as they walked out.
"Waterloo Medic 811 enroute to Lil' Creighton Code 2 with a 68 y/o male whose initial complaint was possible hypothermia and altered mental status. He is alert and oriented and shivering," Omaha Scanner reported.
"One officer advising 8 to 9 elderly people who are struggling. Separate officer advising they have located an elderly party who is frozen cold unable to move with an altered mental status.
"Officers requesting incident command find a warehouse or somewhere for people to stop to warm up who are walking to their cars."
Just before 11 p.m., the outlet reported that "a couple to a few thousand still need to leave the venue" and officers were continuing to check for those suffering from walking in the cold.
Around the same time, another tweet read: "OPD taking charge of this s**t show. Numerous MAT buses have been requested and are enroute."
"If you aren't paying attention to this absolute s**show in Omaha in the wake of Trump's rally, you should be," Chicago Tribune columnist Rex Huppke tweeted.
"They bussed supporters in then effectively left them to walk several miles in the cold back to their cars. Several taken to the hospital. This is Trump in a nutshell".
By around 1 a.m. the parking lots were finally cleared.
"Majority of parking lots have been cleared. Little to no pedestrian traffic. Most officers are returning to service and going home," Omaha Scanner tweeted at 12:39 a.m.
Trump's visit to Omaha came amid a busy schedule seeing him attend a campaign rally in Michigan and two events in Wisconsin.
"We have to win both Nebraskas," Trump told the crowd, presumably referring to Omaha and the state's more rural districts.
