Trump rally prompts neighboring First Avenue to donate Thursday's profits to Planned Parenthood

While the debate rages on over who’s paying for what when President Donald Trump visits neighboring Target Center on Thursday, First Avenue nightclub and its restaurant the Depot Tavern aren’t quibbling. They will give all their profits that day to Planned Parenthood North Central States.

from Stearns County are aware of it, maybe some signage out in front. Maybe the MAGAts would see those signs as they drive around and around the block in their pickup trucks searching desperately for a place to park.

no room for parking their monster trucks!

Good idea about signage, did you call them?

and then take the bus home, just to make one less parking space available to those idiots. But I think I'll stay away from that goat rodeo.

I am so sick of this lazy-assed, do-nothing president who spends our tax dollars campaigning for his next election. I cannot WAIT for the day he is out of office, or better yet, dead.

You can be sure he'll insult Omar while claiming Minneapolis is a crime-ridden hellhole (it isn't). But he's about as popular here as a case of hemorrhoids, so he'll be playing to the MAGAts from the surrounding counties who hate Minneapolis because it's full of liberals.

influence. Everyone there hates him. Only his MAGAt supporters from outside the city will attend and he will, once again, be preaching to the choir. What is the point? He is just stirring up hate within his base.

Never mind, I think I just answered my own question. I really hope to hell this is not an attempt to incite stochastic terrorism against Omar by those who are geographically closest to her. A chill just went down my spine because it occurred to me that this may be exactly what he is planning.

It's probably intended as more of an attempt at a fuck-you to all of us who live in this left-wing hellhole.
