 —1978 #1 for one week on country charts for Don Williams

Trump's campaign needs "minority" extras for his fascist rally in Tulsa. Advertising on Craig's List. Send photo. Instead of being paid can be substituted for community service. Campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said 800,000 (later 1 million) tickets have been distributed; arena capacity is listed at 19,000. 

“By attending the rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.”

The stupid blatant viciousness is the point. Trump has not had a "rally" since March Second. Trump does not want to acknowledge the existence of any coronavirus problem. Public health is not his concern. The current demonstrations against police brutality on black people is an annoyance to Trump. His location and time for his Nuremberg event could hardly be worse—Tulsa on Juneteenth. Juneteenth  is a holiday for African Americans. June 19th 1865 was the day, Union General Gordon Granger read General Order 3 to the public.

The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.

Texas was the furthest Confederate state, and did not have Federal soldiers reach Texas until June 1865. Only then could Lincoln's Emancipation be enforced. In 1866, freedmen celebrated a day of Jubilee on June Nineteenth. The Juneteenth holiday was established.

In 1921, the largest attack of white people on a black population in American history occurred—Tulsa (Greenwood) Race Massacre. Certainly Trump is too ignorant to have been aware of Tulsa, and Juneteenth; someone else had to choose; but he had to approve. Trump's opinions on Black Lives Matter, and health concerns are widely apparent. After the hubbub that ensued over this, Trump is scheduling this one day later.

Y'no, sometimes some things are so obviously stupid, one (really, everyone) could see disaster approaching. I remember the line, "Verge, if i were you, i wouldn't weld so near the gas tank". I was eating at Old Nelson Commons, someone brought up the news from Guyana. Guyana, does not make Ohio news often; but this one was a huge horror. O, and by the way, the powdered drink was grape Flavor Aid.

Wonder if they will be serving refreshments in Tulsa?

postscriptum: noon 2 August
Herman Cain, a prominent black Republican, attended Trump's Tulsa rally.  Nine days later, he was diagnosed with coronavirus. 30 June he was hospitalised. 30 July he died. Cain ran Godfather's Pizza for Pillsbury. Tombstone is another pizza company.
