White House staffers scrambled to scrub social media evidence of Donald Trump's humiliating turnout at his "Great American State Fair" opening after the president blew his top over aerial photos documenting the sparse crowd for the rally he headlined.According to CNN reporting, Trump was "infuriated...
this is the internet … nothing ever disapears (except for backups in the cloud /s ) who’s gonna attach the photos ?
Extremely untrue. Especially with hard drives being unaffordable. Torrents and archives are struggling.
Even before the huge spikes in costs of hardware, I always thought of things being permanent on the 'net is a rather interesting one, given I’ve seen entire communities taken offline, never to be seen again. Maybe alphabet agencies or the people that bought up defunct companies have them, but I doubt even that.
I heard recently the rpgmaker community was going away and losing years of how-to info about rpgmaker.
Soon only the porn devs shall remain for it.
You’re right that it was never true to begin with

That’s deader than a Discord mod’s sex life.
There was a bigger turnout for our hastily organized last minute pride in a rural red state town.
It’s an awful layout for a poorly planned fair.

I’m willing to bet hotels cost too much and they didn’t advertise either. Probably whoever organized it spent all their money on those ridiculous tents and pocketed the rest (or cut a deal with the tent vendor, like Parks and Rec)
The original America250 plan was created a decade ago by a bi-partisan group. Trump’s Freedom250 was created in January 2025.
Even then, he had more than a year to come up with some great attractions.
I expect across the entire USA you guys could do better than a Ferris wheel.
Old joke.
A scientist is incredibly vain. He gets hired to work with a disease that causes human skin to putrefy. One day he discovers he’s caught the disease. He looks in the mirror, and the skin is literally rotting off his face.
“Yes, but on me, it looks good.”
Six months from now he’ll be boasting about how splendid it was.
