Maybe there was some uplift along the coast*. The last time I was in southern New Jersey there weren't any mountains on the beach.

*Happened in Northern California after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The coast range got about 4 inches higher!

Idiots must never have been anywhere near there.

New Jersey, the mountain state.

The Boss was pulling in giant crowds in NJ when I was a kid in college in Philadelphia. Trump couldn't even match Springsteen's 1976 crowds. Springsteen was born in NJ and NJ will never let him forget it, they love him.

Trump's crowds have been getting smaller and smaller every day, just like his brain capacity.

Sorry, I'm lost!

But, hey, this is "democratic" underground, so we are free to use any term we dang well choose, right?

Fucking idiot doesn't even know what the Jersey shore looks like.

Must've been one helluva high tide for that to have been possible.

NOT the guy to have running foreign policy

“Surrounded by water, big water.”

"Big Lie," they call it.

on a separate note: Why the hell has the DOJ not indicted this piece of shit?

What do you think Jack Smith is doing?

but almost two years late due to indecisiveness/procrastination by DOJ leadership. Smith was given an almost impossible timeline to achieve positive results.

that's the party when TSF goes to jail

Perfect

I immediately knew that was Copacabana Beach, we stayed in a hotel along the beach there a number of years ago.

But I'm glad he screwed up, I'm now looking forward to perusing our travel book and pics for that wonderful trip!

If they were so desperate to lie effectively, they really couldn't have just taken a real photo of the rally crowd and zoomed in to make it look like an authentic, larger crowd (at least at a first glance)?

Americans are so lucky that these clowns aren't intelligent in the slightest. They're already dangerous in their current form, could you imagine if Stone, Giuliani, Trump, etc. were all actually intelligent?

Who had 100K people? Trump or Rod Stewart?

Who is butt sore?

ON EDIT: Maybe it was clearer than I thought.

Just before it went away, I saw that it was a first time poster. The jury decision (or MIRT decision) to remove the post was correct - likely a troll.

MIRT's role is to keep an eye on new posters and send disruptive ones packing.

Whenever a new member makes a post that gets removed by a jury, that's a red flag that MIRT looks at closely to determine whether that account gets banned or is given another chance.

When a new account gets nuked, as MIRT likes to call it, all of their posts automatically disappear.

You must really love it here!!

you one more time.

States of America..

Thank Goodness Pres Biden beat the Psychotic Liar.

just so I can make fun of Roger Stone. Almost ....

N/T

Trump seems to be calling out the regulars to get online and post things about how well he is doing in the campaign and how throngs of people show up to see him. It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

Roger Stone.

well played

The denial comments were just so pathetic!

Every now and again I let myself be floored by how stupid these people are.

I have to remind myself that it doesn’t matter. Because the audience they are appealing to are the stupidest and most ignorant.


I remain confident that Trump doesn’t have a chance and the Republicans as a whole are a doomed party.

I do not see it even being anything resembling close, even though pretty much everything I read (on trump-paid media, of course, which so much is) says it will be. No, sorry, it won't be close. They are not taking enraged women's votes enough into account. Ignoring women is something they do consistently.

It's also developed to all get out with houses on stilts and little fucking ice cream shops and mini-golf courses. .

Now, let's be fair. If you're from rural Arkansas or Colorado Springs and never saw the ocean, you would have no idea what the Jersey Shore looked like, and would be easy prey for Roger Stone's nonsense. That's what he counts on.

Thinks Rio is New Jersey, thinks Trump is Nixon ... dude's been huffin' shitzenpants diapers

There's a picture of it on this page about that tour: https://iorr.org/tour05/rio.htm

But, yeah, definitely not for Trump and for DAMN SURE not in New Jersey

..... Not sure Rod Stewart could draw that big a crowd.

I was going to post the same thing.
This is not the first time I've seen that pic and it was credited to The Stones in Rio.
Rod Stewart has appeal, but not that much.

'Rio de Newjersio': Trump friend mocked for using Brazilian photo to lie about rally size

Roger Stone and Donald Trump

Longtime Donald Trump friend and confidant Roger Stone came under fire on Sunday after posting an unrelated photo in an effort to show that the state of New Jersey could be won by Trump in the upcoming 2024 election.

Trump spoke in the Garden state on Saturday, and was criticized for his apparent slurring of speech. Conservative lawyer George Conway went as far as to challenge the mainstream media for failing to properly report on the former president's "aphasia."

Trump bragged about the size of the crowd in New Jersey, but it was also reported that some people started leaving early.
. . .
According to Listverse, the photo is actually a representation of a record for what is deemed the "largest music concert in history."

The MAGA Kool aid drinkers believe it. That was their goal.

They are successful.

All the news reports are using the Trump campaign claims that there were 80,000 to 100,000 people at the rally, even though the actual pictures show a much smaller crowd.

that it would have been hard to fill a high school gym.

the photos look like less. They had an area of the beach/boardwalk cordoned off. It was full, but hard to estimate the crowd without knowing the dimensions of the area. I'm not sure the attendees would've filled up either the Eagles or NYJ/NYG football stadiums. I did see in one report of an interviewee saying this was the 52nd time he'd been to a Trump rally. Makes you wonder just how many people are repeat attendees.

Yep, "super fans"

He thinks the size of a crowd you can attract is a better indicator than vote totals, and Dems cheat and bus people and etc etc.
I told him if that’s the case, it would be very close determining who should be the next President: Taylor Swift or The Rolling Stones.

he is well aware of their ignorance

a whole campaign?

could sink a campaign. Or looking out of place while riding in a tank. I can only imagine what Howard Dean and Michael Dukakis are feeling right now.

than for Republicans

and he thinks his audience is that stupid. (In which case, he'd be right.)

He is a worthless parasite who needs to drop dead.

Of course he knows that a lot of Trump's base won't realize the photo is a fake.
Their belief is the joke.

The whole MAGA movement is not based on any real governance or care for the political system. There are insidious, genuinely experienced, frightening people who fund and support the movement, but at its core, it has nothing to offer to Americans.

It's just meant to troll liberals. That's it. It's a political movement based on trolling the opposition like they're mischievous children. Everything is funny to them and deliberately offensive, childish, and off putting. Unfortunately, plenty of voters love drama and reality show crap which has led to a culture where everything has to always be entertaining or shocking instead of stable and normal.

the maga movement is to gain power at any cost; trolling libs is the cherry on top for them.

They have to cheat.

Nice try though

Such a stupid lie. These trump people are so sick.

Trump: That's huge! Er, how many is a brazillion?
Stone: Many, biggest ever.

On the interwebs, someone else can find it too.

were pointed to as evidence that both states were in play, and Trump was on his way to a landslide.

That Rod Stewart drew a crowd like that. It must have been free.

…I remember it well. Oh, wait!

For his next criminal indictment to be clever.
