1. Line his motorcade route with tiki torches.

2. Will he bring his own Tiki torch?

Child raping bag ‘o fuck.

3. This should be interesting.

I'd say about half will be there to protest him, and half will be there to applaud him.

It may be more than half doing the applauding. I have not been to C-Ville in a long time, but if things have not changed that much, this is how it will be for his visit.

5. If he has support they are primarily not indigenous to the area.

8. The entire protest that gave us the 'Tiki Attack' was from out of town?

Like I said, it has been over thirty years since I have been to Charlottesville, but, at the time, I saw plenty of... shall we say... 'conservative elements'... around town.

I won't say that it has not had a complete reversal, but I would be very surprised to find out that it did.

9. The Governor at the time said they were not from Charlottesville...

... to get out, they are not welcome.

Repugs generally bus in people when they expect a low turnout.

7. We are a liberal town

Some of the rural areas tend to be conservative but we outvote them.

4. Maga, inc? give me a fucking break

6. Just saw here elsewhere

The meeting is at the Trump Winery! Making money for himself, of course. Dr
