I said "we" when talking about Democratic city mayor of Albuquerque going after a Republican President when they haven't done in before for security related payments.
Actually, when it comes to s**thead mayors, Martin Chavez of Albuquerque was truly in a special class. Complete horndog, declared "sanctuary" status which somehow made it worse in a border state without the budget for adequate patrols/enforcement, and basically tried to suck up to every pseudo-celebrity in the city before and after his terms to stay in public view. He crashed a couple of festival gigs my bands played, insisting that he got to address the crowd and announce bands even though he wasn't expected...or wanted.
He guaranteed my hatred of every mayor declaring "sanctuary" status, for all time.

I said that having a large Trump rally in a deep blue State is something we just don't want...and you think that is a pro Trump position? I was referring to the Albuquerque mayor... I know it's early on the West Coast so maybe time for a double expresso with your Birkenstock friends...lol.
I think we've had 8 campaign visits in Madison between Kamala and Biden which is a lot for a city of 200,000. Secret service protocol requires multiple routes blocked off when a protectee is in town. Madison is an isthmus between two large lakes so you either come through the isthmus or go around the lakes from the airport. Every time we have someone in town it virtually locks down the entire city. Nobody has been billed beyond the venue costs.
Bottom line is that it looks like the Albuquerque mayor was looking for an excuse to deny the larger venue request for the Trump rally because he didn't want the optics of a large rally in his Democratic town.
Looks like you fell for some faux made up outrage Z. Can a good Russian conspiracy or maybe a conspiracy involving pizza be far behind?
Dunno, maybe send hicks to trip up some FEMA workers...wait, could THEY be eating all the pets?!?!?
