Brainmist108"Attendees expressed some disappointment, but both agreed it was likely necessary."
Led Zepbound106The attendee was let down
ArtsulSelva76I hope the attendee wasn’t too disappointed
Deb51Funny part? It's going to be hotter at 5 than it is now.
IMPEACH & REMOVE35Right…. Remember when the Kennedy Center closed for two years because of “extreme heat”. Remember when they fenced off the Reflecting Pool because of “extreme heat”.
The Volatile Mermaid388(Blows smoke off the tip of my Jewish Space Laser) That should do it.
Scott Johnson21Those 3 people are gonna be pissed.
Michelle Rapp↔️MagicCon Amsterdam!15So fascist and tacky the Sun itself had to intervene. Brb making a sacrifice to Apollo.
Jake6Tens of people just hit their breaks in their white Ford Expedition
IveyJanetteMcClelland6The 3 people who were there went to Walmart in the suburbs..
Tim Murphy6Knowing Trump he will reschedule his Great American Farce to Thanksgiving and fuck that up too.
Roxy Hart5Is this our turn to tell Americans to just use air con? Or say “it’s called flaming June, what do you expect?”
The TERRIERHat.2Attendees will get a full refund, luckily ticket booths were able to break a twenty so we got him squared away

Fox reporting the Great American State Fair is closing temporarily due to heat: We saw a few thousand people out here. Now, as you can see, they're pushing everybody out.
Cynfulfan103Both attendees must be sad
Chris K74lol. “A few thousand “….lol
ab4aoc.bsky.social73I thought Trump said he was doing a speech in 107 degree heat to show how tough he was
D.H. Mitchell 🇺🇸🇵🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱40Much like the Kennedy Center closing for, "Renovations".
Pro-Algae Leftist30Remember drill, baby, drill? Karma is a bitch.
Jmart27A few thousand? More like a few! Also are they closing it or did no one show up. Inquiring minds want to know!
Marci8Huh, Idaho State Fair temps at the end of August usually hit high 90’s and over 100 degrees. They’ve never shut it down though. Or, that time during the Twilight Criterium when it was in 100’s, after dark, no less…downtown. They never shut that down, either. Weird🤔
🇨🇦Yves Lavoie 🇨🇦🐈⬛ ✈️ 🌎 ⚓️📸6L'évacuation fût très complexe. C'est long sortir 30 passants.
Aurora3Are the "few thousand people" the blades of grass? The thousands the reporter saw must just be those directional signs in the shot
Steve 52 NO KINGS, NO FASCISTS3All 37 people are now out of the fair!
Vicki Bryan's Bond Angle2Are the “ few thousand people” with you in the room right now?
Gloria 🦋2Gates of hell opening up for McConnell
Risunabe2Even if the “few thousand people” was remotely accurate, that would be an average scone line on a slow day at the Washington State Fair. So much cope.
Leveski2The future of having to cancel events because of climate change while contorting yourself in such a way so as to never mention climate change is here
They just closed the Trump state fair due to heat (99 degrees) and will reopen at 5 PM ET when it is 101 degrees.
Paul Harper55Must have taken several seconds to evacuate everyone.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎14Lol, I just posted how here in Texas, 5-7pm is the hottest part of the day.
Ben Warner11That sucks I want to watch* his marathon speech in 107 degree heat Watch, not listen, and only one thing to watch for Anyone know if he ate a bunch of cherries and milk for lunch?
Karen F10Yeah, that makes sense. Didn't need NOAA after all, did we? Sigh.....
Shannon Pertner9Did they interview the attendee to get their reaction?
Anne Helfrich6All the smartest best people from start to finish. Is the pretend big boy arch melting yet?
Pope ghibby! - Keeper of the Holy Anal Rail Gun5Dozens of people are heartbroken.
Anomalous Jen4Theyre trying to kill their base So anyway...
Katy4Is that the feels like temperature, or the actual temperature? 🔥 🥵
Dr. Fröhlich (prefers not to)2The inability to grasp how heat and radiating actually works is an increasingly obvious red flag.
Maya NH2Can’t Trump just use his Sharpie to change the weather? I thought that was one of his magic skilzzzzz?
Trump's "Great American State Fair" just shut down and evacuated the National Mall after small crowds and high heat; Mamdani's America 250 speech; a notable development in Iran; and more. Your midday updates are here:
Formerly Odd Sock, Now 86 4732Anyone else seeing blank space where images are supposed to be? All over Blue Sky, not only here.
Frank J. Kadel, D.O. FACOS28Wait, are you saying they made both people leave?
RadioStatic19He’s setting it up to cancel his speech to save himself the embarrassment of a poor to nonexistent turnout.
Dude the Obscure17How can you tell it’s shut down? The crowd is the same.
faithy777.bsky.social16There were people saying Trump would properly collapse in this heat with his weight, age, and poor health. Especially since he was talking about giving a long speech.
Sue Me14I 💙 him so much. No annoying ads, no commentary, Pure Unadulterated Mamdani (Post this on every Maga Shit Repugnican page & propaganda media) @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/XcxRUkG...
The Great American State Fair has officially pulled out of the Great American State Fair.
The Crimson Goose25pm, universally recognized to be the coolest part of the afternoon
John Hudgens2"Sorry, the fair's closed - the fair out front should have told ya..." Who knew I'd get so much use out of this Photoshop? :) I hear they actually spelled "freedom" correctly today, tho...
Now we find out2”It had no idea its manager had booked this gig and never would have agreed to it had it known”
PR05P3CT0R1God smiled on the socialist hippies who turned out to show their patriotism during the 1976 bicentennial. It was 80 degrees. Fox News viewers and MAGA not turning up? God doesn’t seem to be a big fan. Here’s how it’s supposed to be when America was still America, even after Nixon and Vietnam:
J. Gonzo1oh - these people really know how to "unfair"!
SE Beller ✍️🌊1Even still, no guarantee it won't spawn more equally shitty Fairs 😕
The Great American State Fair is a wonderful place to go if you're looking for some alone time
Annalisa2If you enter via the Arch de Trump you're teleported to 1932.
alanscarl.bsky.social1How can you do that in a long sleeve shirt? Washington DC heat and humidity is sooo brutal.
Mike Davis • Feed After Midnight1One day until the final failure. Get the “facts” on MAGA 4th! Give a SHARE and spread the fun. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/fam-exclus...
Trump should have volunteered for a dunk tank at the Great American State Fair. It would have ensured massive crowds. HUGE success.
Summary of the state fair: mildly interesting, well-attended, worth going if you live here, but if you’re just visiting here it’s far less interesting than our many museums etc. I hit about half the state booths. Saw zero politicization in the booths and only 8 fair attendees wearing Trump stuff.
Hell no Absolutely no one should attend given the grift , Bible tent and confederate flag.
Eric Columbus26To my great regret the post that begin this thread autocorrected "fryover" to "Grover" thus making the sentence inane.
Matt Beckman17The Minnesota state fair gets 100,000+ attendees on a rainy day. When you say well attended do you mean hundreds?
AllCaps-2212“Mildly interesting” - compared to what? The state booths are mostly tourist literature found at a highway rest stop. It’s more trade show than fair. Give me the folk life festival and traditional picnics on the Mall. It’s all made worse knowing Trump skimmed the $100 million set aside by Congress.
FormerGregSamsa5Maybe they'll wander over to the Smithsonian complex, where I assume there is AC and much more interesting things to look at (they have the Batmobile!)
prosopagnosia.bsky.social4Funny that you would call this “well attended”. The only reason is due to the pathetic attendance the prior week. If this had been opening day, on the weekend of the 4th, it would look meager given the supposed magnitude of such an event.
They mentioned heat stroke talking about the 250th American State MAGA rally & all i heard was stroke & now i have to buy more champagne
Jen4It's ok. Premature celebration happens to everyone at one point or another. 😆
The RedRoach2Heat stroke at 80 is better than a regular stroke Trust me
freddiefarkle.bsky.social2We might be one Big Mac away....
CoachKK2I’m thinking that little mushroom 🍄 only need a couple strokes max, right Stormy😹
dragonlady1011.bsky.social1😂😂😂 who knows we may get lucky he’s planning a really long speech you may get to pop that cork yet🤞
Lisa (SoldierGirl)💔🤍💙💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊1It's always good to be prepared, I guess I should stock up on more Jack Daniels also! 😂
