Reminds me of a football game between Texas and Oklahoma.
Someone in the stands lit off a fire cracker and the Longhorns thought it was half time, so they went to the lockers.

Two plays later, Oklahoma scored.

I’m guessing the lawsuits will be filed soon.

Snowflakes melted on open fire.

I think our next CW will have more 'comical' moments like this than most are expecting. They are all Johnny BadA$$ until something goes BANG!

Imagine an adult purchasing a ticket to this show and being so poorly educated that they don’t know Hamilton and Aaron Burr participate in gun violence

Hot Lips: “Oh My God, They Shot Him!”

Well, of course they believe everything they saw on that stage ... they already believe that Hamilton etal are people of color.

Thanks for the reminder of how President Trump handled the quite long rally interruption due to a medical emergency. I remember when the audience spontaneously began singing “Amazing Grace.” I love President Trump.

. An interesting thing just happened on my iPhone. For the first time the three suggestions after I typed “President “ included “Trump”. Until now, the suggestions were Bush, George and Clinton. Maybe it was because I included the word “love.”

For a man who was never before his election accused of being fascist, sexist , homophobic or any other “ist” President Trump has certainly endured a lot of abuse.

“No ... successful experiment. An entire population (the play attending crowd) so sensitive, the unreal triggers a real response.”

Excellent observation, knarf. If we need to wipe a complete marching band of overly sensitive millennials, just scream “GUN!” The result - STAMPEDE!

I was lucky enough to be there. It really was quite remarkable. I recommend going to a rally if one is in your area.

Brave, courageous, virtue-signaling San Franciscans helping one another during a cri—nope, fleeing like ‘rats for the exits at the first sign of trouble.
