The GOP operative tried to mock Biden by sharing a photo of what he claimed was Trump's rally crowd in New Jersey—except it wasn't a rally at all, or even in the United States.

It truly is 2020 all over again. And 2016, for that matter.

GOP operative and Trump campaign mastermind Roger Stone has once again been caught trying to bamboozle the American public (though given how gullible Trump's followers are, who can blame him).

Stone attempted to inflate the attendance of Trump's recent rally in New Jersey by using a photo of something else entirely and saying it was a photo of the crowd.

It was actually a photo of the crowd at a Rod Stewart concert. In 1994. In Brazil.

The mayor of Wildwood, New Jersey, where Trump's rally was held, claimed 100,000 attended, though photos and videos of the event indicate a smaller crowd.

Even if it had drawn 100,000 people, however, Stone's claim is patently absurd.

The photo he chose shows people gathered in Rio de Janeiro for New Year's Eve 1994, where Rod Stewart drew the largest concert crowd in history on Copacabana Beach—the same venue where Madonna recently broke the record for the largest crowd at a standalone concert not part of a larger event.

In any case, there are literally millions of people in that crowd—4.2 million in all according to the Guinness Book of World Records—which is, you know, 40 times more than 100,000. Also? New Jersey is not known for its mountainous beaches. The Poconos are lovely and all but they are nowhere near the ocean.

But no matter! Stone just subsequently claimed the tweet was a joke and that liberals just don't have a sense of humor.

On social media, Trump's slavering acolytes aside, nobody found Stone's dumb tweet particularly amusing.












Others countered with a photo alleged to be Trump's actual crowd, which of course paled in comparison.

Anyway, seems like the strategy in 2024 is the same as the last two times Trump ran: Lie through your teeth then blame it on "liberals" when you're unmasked. These guys are so lucky Trump's followers are so gullible since he actually has nothing useful to offer them other than grievance and lies.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
