"Teflon" Donald Trump Holds Giant "Pep Rally" At Football Stadium - Live Feed
Live feed
* * *
Last weekend, Donald Trump served notice that he hasn’t lost his flair for the dramatic when, after a short flight from LaGuardia in his private 757, the brazen billionaire arrived at the Iowa State Fair in a $7 million Sikorsky.
On Friday evening, Trump will look to one up himself in Alabama where, sensing an opportunity to create the biggest spectacle yet, his campaign decided to move a rally originally scheduled for the Mobile, Alabama Civic Center to Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
That’s right, this evening, Donald Trump will hold what he’s calling a "pep rally" at a football field that seats 43,000 people.
We are going to have a wild time in Alabama tonight! Finally, the silent majority is back! http://t.co/Vj8vho1ro7
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 21, 2015
Here’s more from The Washington Post on why there’s more to the event (from a strategy perspective) than meets the eye:
Mobile, Ala., doesn't usually host presidential primary rallies. But this weekend it's expected to host a doozy. Donald Trump will take over Ladd-Peebles Stadium, usually home to high school football games on Friday nights, not presidential pep rallies. Trump's campaign shifted from a smaller venue to the stadium after seeing big demand for tickets; it expects 35,000 to attend.
As with all most things Trump, there's a level of savvy that's not immediately apparent on the surface.
Alabama is one of the so-called SEC primary states that lands early in the cycle, adding importance that Alabama doesn't usually have.
But Mobile County also lies on the Gulf Coast, one of a string of relatively populous nearby counties. It's close to other big population centers. New Orleans is only two hours away, and Tallahassee 3½ hours. For Trump fans willing to embark on a longer drive, Birmingham and Atlanta aren't too far, either.
What Trump's doing, clearly, is not just trying to hold a rally in Mobile. He's trying to show strength across the entire Deep South. If his grandiose expectations come true -- which they have a recent habit of doing -- his point will be made.

Hey - WHERE ARE THE TELEPROMPTERS !!!!
and the lutzing focus groups....so important to make a decision that solves nothing and antagonizes no one.
Trump loves Israel.....enough said.... He should get Hagee for his running mate
Noticed his support of Israel.
I wonder which issues he can not touch in this Campaign.
- Women's Issues since he is a New Yorker, Women have been a big Voting Block and Supporter of Hillary
- NSA Domestic Spying & Curtailments of Individual Rights
- Israel
But NYC has always suspended Civil Rights for Order, so Trump might be a big supporter of DHS, TSA, NSA, Federal Central Power Grab... In fact Trump mentions "Reform" in many areas... so Trump may fix DHS & Borders as Reform... while not being a Supporter of Privacy & Individual Rights.
Hillary is no more guilty than Chelsea Manning.
Wait... No, Manning is a whistleblower who had relatively lower Secret Access. Manning had conscience, and Ethos.
- Hillary not so much.
- Hillary is this Lawyer, an Elite that felt she had special privilege, and then lied over and over to Agencies, Congress, and Media (US Public Voters & Citizens)
- Hillary served her own purposes with her server and failed to recognize her responsibilities with National Security Classification Systems.
- Hillary gets the Bozo Award.
Hillary is much more guilty than Manning and her motivation seems to be to self serve her career and control her legacy and future political appearance... while dangerously exposing National Security.
I don't have all the info on Chelsea Manning, but clearly the Iraqi & Afghan Wars were Dirty and few got to blow the whistle on what was happening due to "Ownership" and Control of the Press and Military Personnel.
- Obama can Pardon Manning at this point, and we could eliminate Clinton from future politics, business and lobbying to the Federal Government. Her standing to work as a Lawyer should be terminated for failure to uphold the highest kind of National Security.
- And Trump really did well
- And liked Trump on Jobs and Trade
- And Liked Carl Icahn as Negotiator for China, Japan, and Mexico... But we have to limit Business done by Federal Official in enriching themselves
I was trying to watch the Trump rally in Alabama and this kinda kid looking guy called chris hayes kept talking over for no reason. Anybody know what gives?
If it aint TRUMP/CRUZ than it aint happening for me.
I like cruz also even though i do not agree with him all the time but he's the best so far with Trump.
Cruz is not eligible
Trump, he ain't no Gump
If you think there's a chance for the USA to cut the shit, who else do you have but Trump?
Will watch this tomorrow morning. Working on a new clothes line for Hillary prison outfits.
Thanks Hillary, all product donations will go to Syria, Iraq, Lybia, Sudan, Egypt, Tunisia, Niger, and Chad.
We will also vaporizer the Clinton Foundation monetize funds to replay your treason backpay. Selling emails to receive money is illegal. The money you gained will be returned. Forget some other countries. It will be all be exposed during wash cycle.
If Trump was for real and cared about America:
He would remove all money from politics and replacing with YT campaign and small equal, aprori disclosed campaign amount to cover expenses via public finding, say 1 million $ each candidate that’s all otherwise you are out, and no private money even your own allowed. No flying across US in private jets.
He would reduce campaign to 2 months since no fund raising would be needed the time would be sufficient to present one platform and debate it over the net.
He would change election law (constitutional amendment) and allow for single registration of a candidate in given state to be valid everywhere, reform similar to banking system reform where they allowed cross state banking institutions in early 1990-ties.
He would ask all H1B workers out since tens of thousands engineers, nurses, doctors, college teachers, University professors are jobless.
He would put big trade tariffs on sales in the US from companies that outsource good American jobs like Apple, MS, Goggle, FB etc., GE, Automakers, Boeing etc., as well as Chinese manufacturers, he would prohibit all local and state and federal government to outsource any jobs.
He would reject NAFTA, CAFTA, TPP,TTIP WTO and any other American job stealing BS that is on the books.
He would close all the US military bases in the world especially in Europe and let the other negotiate the peace with each other or fight is off without US money or support.
He would make the theocratic state of Israel pay for their military and end special privileges for its economy and force them to arrange for peace with neighbors even under political conditions like in Lebanon or let them came back to their communist roots of 1948.
If Trump was for real he would increase capital gains tax, close HF billionaires’ , and offshore companies loopholes and complete eliminate income tax on wages, no more W2s for US legal residents.
if Trump was for real he would deflate stock/bond bubbles by instituting substantial transaction tax, ban all derivatives including opytions and futures a cesspool of raw speculation, prohibit buybacks and accounting tricks/fraud and go after the inside traders including US congress, HFT schemes and rich speculators.
He would go after monopolist like GE types, Media conglomerates, automakers, Oracles from BH, Walmart, Big Pharma, and telecoms and all TBTF banksters with antitrust laws and RICO statue and break them down and put executives in jail.
He would arrest and prosecute all TBTF banksters and impose one off 100% tax on new JPM and GS, TBTF’s and other thieving HF billionaires.
He would tax the income of registered foreigners, (non-US citizen willing to work) family members of US legal residents and deporting 100% of those who did not register.
He would end the FED.
There are the important debatable issues that simplistic and populistic Trump’s paper persona would not even touch with 10 foot pole in his pretend, bite and switch pseudo-campaign conducted not unlike to the rest of political puppets on the stage. And there is only one special quality that Trump enjoys.It is his ability to gather together thousands desperate followers to cheer him as another American Idol, what his campaign is so far all about.
We do not need an alternative candidate. We need an alternative system.
More on all this political farce and available true alternatives I found at:
https://contrarianopinion.wordpress.com/notes-on-buddy-politics/
"He would go after monopolist ..."
"He would arrest and prosecute all TBTF banksters..."
"He would end the FED."
Yes, you have hit on a lot of areas that need auditing and reform and... they may be things he can talk about in the Campaign.
I'm feeling overly cautious about what he can't talk about, because I really think public and private organizations can go after anyone that is a "Reformer".
But think we need Sweeping Reforms.
Financial Ratings don't reflect waste in overhead, executive perks & compensation and admin costs. Accounting Rules are too complex and too flexible both in private and public organizations. Banks have too much power, and there is too much flexibility in financial instruments for transparency, monitoring, tracking, controlling, and keeping the playing field level.
But can Trump Address this.
Alternative system? Here is an idea, join the other 1st world nations of this world (or...all of them!!!) and BAN election of DUAL citizens to government elected positions. It's a no-brainer and that it is never addressed is beyond comprehension. Get the Israeli dual citizens out of your government Americans. The cosmopolitican Jewish State of Israel is doing just fine, building mega ports and cooperating with China like brothers-in-arms. You have to wonder why no one ever mentions the conflict of interest. If you want an honest govt, get rid of the parasites.
You confuse president with a monarch.
Most of the things you have listed cannot be done by president. They require congress to pass the law n he president to sign it.
As a commander of the armed forces, he probably could order all the forces back to the US and closure of foreign basis. Then it would be up to congress to try and pass a law to reverse that decision. They would likely fail to get enough votes to override his veto.
I only suggest that those issues need to be debated but they are not. More people must understand that they are being "raped" by the system daily. Without it nothing can change.
Funny that you mention that the president cannot do this or that alone. But he can violate the US constitution at will, detain people indefinitely, seize property etc., introduce martial law or go to war etc., with executive orders at will. You argument is lame. Congress confirmed imperial powers of the presidency during Dubya rule. Yes, US president is a monarch puppet of the Oligarchs but he could be a King of people until he is assassinated.
As I wrote I prefer an alternative system over alternative candidates that can do nothing to fix the system that created them.
I hope this silverspoon cocksucker catches a solid copper migraine travelling over 3000 fps. live on fucking TV.
He's a shitstain on the ass of humanity.
Does anyone know his stance regarding the Federal Reserve? Is Trump willing to not Only default the $2.4 trillion "owed" to the Unconstitutional Federal Reserve, but then work towards Abolishing the "Creature"?
If he ain't willin' to kill the creature then he's just another Bankster Tool...
Ron Paul blasts Donald Trump: ‘I didn’t know that he had an ability to … anoint people’
I don't know much, but he came out and said he like Paul Volker and knew him and would follow what Paul Volker said was good to do.
- 1979 or so the FED Rate under Volker rose through 10% to like 19% before coming back down
- 1983 or so the FED Rate under Volker rose through 10% again.
https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/FEDFUNDS/
Trump ought to know this.
I disagree that we ever needed 19% interest rate.
said he like Paul Volker and knew him and would follow what Paul Volker said was good to do.
In less than a year or two, you'll need a Ouija board and peyote to get any financial advice from Paul Volker.
That's the best thing about doing anything based on what your interpretation of what some dead guy once said. Whatever it is that you want to do, you just stand up tall and say "Well...this is exactly what that poor dead bastard would have wanted!"
I'm sure that George Carlin probably said something like this before but with less words and funnier.
Volker was a Central Banker.
I can't blame anyone who votes for The Donald. Hitlery is out of the question [Emailgate, raising taxes, massive spending, moar war mongering, and her catering to Corporations is unacceptable] ... and Jeb is simply a slower, less enthusiastic looking/speaking nerdy looking Bush who thinks his brother's Iraq invasion was successful and he would do it again. So he's not so ideal either.
The Don is, well, The Don with no politiical double talk and no formal political track record of lies, broken promises, filed wars, etc. I need more info about Ted Cruz and Walker but Trump looks the best to me so far.
When things get seriously gloomy, or crazy silly [like they are now] you must male lemon juice out of the rotten lemons. Avoid the worst choices ... process of elimination.
So many naysayers. So many men judging this billionaire like he was a product Made in China. Well, what have you boys done for your country recently? Watched spectator sports every Sunday since puberty? Played on video games for hours a day? This is the irony of it all. 911 was the day your country was attacked and you did nothing but talk about it. Get over yourselves. If you find a person who can stop the sale of your nation and the slavery of the citizens from a tax debt so profoundly and unbelievably great it has the power to send you all into slavery, treat him with at least respect. Because no one wants the job but the puppets on the strings of the Federal Reserve bank. Grow some balls and admit it. You have no choice but to vote for Trump. Just like Greece, the people on the stage with Trump are going to present Debt for Nature and bail in on bank accounts and it's only a matter of time. Good luck.
I do more for my community every wek than Trump does for his country in a year. You put a fucking freak like Trump on a pedestal? Seriously???
Beggars can't be choosers. The grip the bankers have on your country isn't just by accident. They want it. And Human Resources was a term that replaced Personnel Department. Do you understand what is going to happen if an Israeli fister ends up in Office, a so-called globalist ranting about 7 billion people and poor mother earth? Don't look a gift horse in the mouth unless you have a better idea. I don't see a person on stage that can stop the train headed toward the Cassandra Crossing but this man. No, I am not a fan. I do not like braggarts or judgmental people. Never watched his show. He is not a freemason and cannot be bribed.
Actually the first thing I did was drive to NYC and volunteer with the relief effort, and then I joined the Army. So use "you" carefully.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
You actually think you have a choice?
One must always choose the lesser of two weevils

You think the establishment "chose" Trump to come in and make a fool of them?
DUMP TRUMP
A man with no "reasons" is nothing more that a propagandist.
So we'll go from a grifter to an imbecile to a community organizer to a sideshow huckster. Yeah, that's what we need.
I think Obama covers all of the first categories perfectly all by himself...Oh hell if it was not for being put into political office, he would likely have the forth as well.
I'm thinking Reagan 2.0 here
I like Trump's taste in Women, Aircraft, Golf and oh yeah, I HATE ILLEGAL FUCKING IMMIGRANTS TOO!
Vote Trump!
I love watching the right wing blow there cover over Trump. As long as it was just Obama all Government sucked and was after you. Then comes, The mouth and ZH goes GaGa. Get a grip, girls.
You don't get it, do you?
We like Trump because he is an egotistical and self righteous asshole who does not try to hide it. It gives us great pleasure seeing him give the professional political class and news media the fits.
It is as if someone threw a rattlesnake into a rat co!ony and the rats are panicking.
"a rattlesnake in a rat colony"? Whatever...
Donald Trump is going to be America's Greatest President.
Why Donald Trump - and the rest of the scum - are not suitable to be the next leaders of the free world:

BTW in it the authors of this hostile propaganda describe their technique. Its mostly BS, seeded with enough facts to make you buy it without considering who authored it. Its not the whole truth. Its cut and paste + foreign actors, who mistate significant vocab. These actors pretending to be patriotic US natives were not trained in the US. Or they are faking this too.
You decide. Think about it. Hard. The next 8 years of shit you have to eat could be your own.
Consider who this commercial gives a complete pass to.
2 Birds up
Very Nice Link, but will take some time to view of course.
Interesting connections Between:
- Americans that supported Hitler
- Americans that Supported Fascist Coup with Smedley Butler against FDR
- Positioning the USA as the World Policeman & Superpower
- 911 & Global War on Terror, Afghan War, Iraqi War
- 2008 Financial Crisis in which Bankers claimed there would be martial law, tanks in the streets
about 29-30 minutes through it. (Excellent production standards)
