SAN DIEGO — Donald Trump held the first campaign rally for his 2024 presidential bid in Waco, Texas. The location was selected because the city has hosted other cults in the past willing to commit violence and die on behalf of their leader when the Deep State FBI and ATF were weaponized to persecute them.
The event opened with a chorus of 1/6 inmates, a new KKK-Pop group. They sang their version of The Star-Spangled Banner entitled The Scar Mangled Batter describing their recreational activities during their peaceful tour of the Capitol building on January 6th, 2021. Percussion was provided by the sounds of battering rams and flag poles gently tapping on the doors and windows of the Capitol to announce their presence to their congressional representatives and senators. Jumbo screens of footage from 1/6 reminded everyone of how benign their visit was as they played Red Rover with the Capitol Police and protected everyone from wild animals with bear spray. They even planned to give Mike Pence a gift of a pre-knotted Donald Trump hemp necktie to show their appreciation of his vice-presidency.
As they sang and the travelogue of 1/6 screened, Donald Trump recited his rendition of the Pledge of Allegiance: “I pledge disobedience to the courts, of the United States of America and to the witch hunts which they pursue, to defeat one nation under Trump, incorrigible, with reprisals and death threats against all foes.”
To conclude, Trump introduced his campaign slogan for 2024: “The White House or the Big House.”
