Mesa, AZ – After protesters outnumbered tRumpettes by 20,000 the last time the fake-prez dared to show his face in Phoenix, Friday's shart show will not be held at a major venue, nor even a minor one, for that matter.

Partly because crybaby Drumpf is way too scared to stray very far off a tarmac here, looks like this is going to instead be another chickenshit, hide-in-the-hangar ordeal, which he's claiming is a Lyin' McSally Rally---but keep reading for the real lowdown of what's actually going on here.


Background on Where tRump is Appearing

On top of the fact that every venue in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Glendale, and Peoria told tRump's scheduler, "Sorry, already booked up" (even though they aren't), tRump handlers were desperate to put him somewhere, anywhere in the Phoenix metropolis where he would least likely piss his diaper at the sight of protesters.

To that end, team tRump was, of course, easily led by the nose to plant him in Mesa, home of Arizona's biggest Mormon temple and largest population of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). Now, before anyone gets their panties all in a twist, I am NOT bashing the tenets of anyone's religion. I am merely stating the facts of Arizona's highly non-secular political reality, one that has been intricately entwined with religion for many years now.

This is a situation that has only recently begun to feel any real pushback (what non-Arizonans will recognize as the oft-quoted turning of the state to "purple" without explaining why that is occurring). Citizens have finally become fed up with the LDS politicians' antics, particularly their decimation of the state's budget and their efforts to destroy the public-school system here.

In a highly coordinated campaign led by Rethuglican LDS politicians, first they bled dry the state funding of education and now they're engaged in stealing federal dollars from the public schools through a deceitful "voucher system" that transfers federal education money to "charter schools," which are primarily owned by LDS members. These private religious schools are shielded from accountability, despite filling their coffers with public money, by state legislation enacted by, you guessed it, Rethuglican LDS politicians.

As a result of these efforts, Arizona now ranks third from the bottom (only above North Carolina and West Virginia) in all categories of education. In a recent report from WalletHub, Arizona ranked dead last in the nation for public school spending per student. So, yes, the LDS Church has been highly successful in its money grab.

The truth of the situation in Arizona is that Mormons not only have been overwhelmingly in control of most of the levers of power for a number of years, but they are also tRump's biggest supporters and enablers here.

But don't take my word for it; just ask U.S. Congressman Andy Biggs, LDS leader of the Anti-LGBTQ Hate Movement and privileged white millionaire, who has anointed himself as tRump's #1 head cheerleader.

Yeah, that guy...Biggs is the cruel and downright sinister former president of the Arizona Senate who has wasted nearly all of his first stint in Congress by:

1.) sponsoring House legislation to shut down the Mueller investigation,

2.) using his position on the House Judiciary committee to hysterically cry for "But her emails!" investigations,

3.) using his chairmanship of the House Subcommittee on Environment to proclaim that climate change is a hoax (and he knows this because he says, no joke, that he's "smarter than Einstein"---yeah, right),

4.) sponsoring House legislation to build a border wall, contracts for which will be funneled exclusively to construction companies owned by LDS members

5.) refusing to vote for any healthcare bill that does not completely repeal the Affordable Care Act because he believes when it comes to health, the decision between life and death should be a simple matter of survival of the fittest bank account,

6.) calling for the abolition of the Department of Education while advocating for charter-school voucher systems (from which he personally and the LDS Church peripherally profits),

7.) vowing to be a major player in overturning Roe v. Wade because he believes men have the right to complete ownership of women's bodies (creepy),

8.) calling for censure of Congresswoman Maxine Waters because, well, face it, Andy's kind has a very l-o-o-o-ng history of chest thumping at black folk (especially strong black women, who they hold in particular contempt), and

9.) spending half his time as a media whore on Faux Fox "News" with his buddies from the Freedom-For-Me-But-Not-For-You Caucus.

You see where this is going, right? Where do you suppose tRump is showing up here?

You got it, smart ones: the gerrymandered CD 5 East Valley district of none other than Andy Biggs, who the fake-prez owes bigly for his comical, but eerily totalitarian, goose-stepping in the halls of Congress.

Interesting that tRump is too scared to appear in McSally's district where migrant children are being held in dog cages, even though this week's "rally" is supposedly for her. Yet, the scared little man-baby will only show his face in Biggs' completely "safe" district, one that cash-rich Andy doesn't need any help at all to buy, er, "win" again.

You see, CD 5 is a district whose lines were specifically redrawn to cobble together portions of cities that make up the suburban sprawl east of Phoenix (parts of Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, and Sun Lakes). The district's boundaries were expanded a few years back to reach into only very specific neighborhoods of adjacent towns, which is why its western and northern edges are jagged lines.

Thus, CD 5 became a district that has since magically delivered the largest congregated group of voters of a certain religion---who, like good little sheeple, always vote exactly as their deacons tell them to---providing a guaranteed win for any Rethuglican nominee of that same religion.

What happened with Biggs is that his own colleagues in the AZ legislature cut a deal with him to get him to leave the AZ statehouse. (You know it's bad when even the Rethuglicans couldn't take the heat of this guy's toxic bullshit anymore.) They agreed to install him as CD 5's rep in Washington, but of course he would have to give up the state senate for that.

Because Biggs is just as big a narcissist as tRump (but with decidedly deeper Machiavellian tendencies), who also has bigly aspirations of someday soon becoming U.S. Prez himself, the AZ legislators knew he wouldn't be able to resist such an offer. Bye-bye Phoenix. Hello D.C.

Now Biggs is on a march to what he and his Church believes is his preordained destiny to sit at the Oval Office big desk. And the man-baby currently there hasn't a clue what Biggs is actually up to. How easily the ding-a-ling got rope-a-doped into coming to Biggs' district rather than McSally's! What an idiot.

So, you see dear readers, this little stunt in Mesa isn't about either tRump or Lyin' McSally. But it most certainly is about Biggs winking to fellow parishioners in the pews and saying, "I got this."


Sleazebag Backers of Friday's Shart Show

The location of this week's circus act will not be in the heart of Mesa. In an effort to discourage dissenters from showing up, they're sticking tRump w-a-a-a-y out at the farthest edge of Biggs' district: specifically, at the small, regional Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport where suburbia meets desert.

More precisely, tRump will not be at the airport terminal itself, but rather at the private business hangar of governmental contractor International Air Response.

Yes, folks, this is the exact same business location from which CEO Bill Grantham helped to hurl orange vomit on America by trotting out the man-baby here in his 2015 run-up to Russian-assisted theft.

The following video link shows the relatively small size of the hangar tRump will be appearing in. This is a short time-lapse of the people who showed up in 2015 (before red-hat disease was inflicted on everyone):

https://www.facebook.com/InternationalAirResponse/videos/918742918181016/

Perhaps some journalist at the Arizona Republic will look into the sweetheart government contracts that Grantham's gotten since imposing tRump onto the nation. Nah, that'll never happen…International Air Response's VP & COO Travis Grantham works an additional day job at the Arizona State Capitol as Rethuglican State House Representative.

Travis Grantham is the third leg of a "Devil's Triangle" drinking game played at the statehouse with fellow LDS Rethuglican seat-warmers Eddie Farnsworth and Warren Petersen. That political trio will make damn sure the newspaper keeps its mouth shut about any grift going on. But, maybe Phoenix New Times will someday get around to peeking behind that curtain…

Based on the stupid-ass conspiracy theories and misogynist comments that Travis Grantham regularly espouses, coupled with his bromance attachment to right-wingnut extremist Mark Levin, I'm starting to think the Grantham family might be related to the Biggs family, or at least attending the same church services.

What I really wonder about, though, is another aspect of the Grantham business: How many of the Hollywood decision makers who are leasing airplanes for their action films from International Air Response know just how far up tRump's ass the Granthams are?

Interesting that these guys are more than willing to take boatloads of money from the very people they regularly ridicule and who their deacons have deemed unworthy of ruling their own planets when they leave this one. But, of course, that's LDS Rethuglican gospel, right?


Details for Valley of the Sun Resistance

For any Arizonans looking to become the next heroic Plaid Shirt Guy (or Gal) at Friday's shitshow in Mesa, you can get free tickets from https://www.donaldjtrump.com/rallies/az-oct-2018 where you have to give up a name (make one up), an email address (just create a new one that you can delete later) and a mobile phone number (might be worth picking up a burner phone for).

Not sure what the stage set-up is going to be on this one (as far as whether human props will be on-camera behind tRump). I suspect only LDS leaders and politicians will be up there with him. Personally, I think it would be hilarious if the Phoenix Resistance packed the audience with people who just stood there, arms crossed, with stern looks on their faces.

One thing to keep in mind is that this tired rerun of tRump flailing his arms while spewing misogynist, racist crap is going to occur at a place of business whose swamp-rat owners can be held personally liable if they allow or encourage Rethuglicans to lay hands on peaceful, but frowning, silent observers inside their hangar.

Another thing I've been told is that International Air Response employees are required to attend as audience members, which is why it's scheduled for 4 p.m. Since they will still be on-the-clock, there's your paid attendees for you. Don't be too hard on them. They just want to keep their friggin' jobs.

Note to anyone who does get in, but is then made to leave: Find a TV camera, tell the newsperson you're an R (local media here will only talk to you if you're an R), and then tell them that you have just decided to vote straight-D because they kicked you out for not clapping hard enough.

See you at the Biggs circus, folks!


UPDATE:

Time changes: Doors now opening at 3:30 p.m.; supposedly starting three hours later at 6:30 p.m.

So apparently the man-baby was so scared of protesters that he landed unannounced at Sky Harbor Airport last night to no fanfare at all and slinked off to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess where I'm sure the taxpayers are picking up a huge tab since tRump doesn't have his name on anything in the Valley of the Sun.

In related news, guess who else has come to play golf in Scottsdale? Yes, folks, we're getting whacked over the heads with a real double whammy this time: Mr. Iraq War himself, Georgie Boy Bush also flew in. Throughout the night, Death Eaters could be heard screeching and wailing overhead as two fake-presidents slept in close proximity to one another.
