EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎196And will reopen at the HOTTEST part of the day, lol
Comfortably Numb155I have bad news bsky.app/profile/numb...
Led Zepbound72The attendee was let down
ArtsulSelva55I hope the attendee wasn’t too disappointed
Brainmist55"Attendees expressed some disappointment, but both agreed it was likely necessary."
Deb32Funny part? It's going to be hotter at 5 than it is now.
Greg Pak110oh no six or seven people will be disappointed
Lecia Michelle27You mean the fair that most people weren't going to anyway?🤣🤣
Phoenix Calida25Lol lmao even Climate change doesn't care whether you believe in it or not.
Norm Wilner21What are the odds that it just ... never reopens
Fun19aaron parnas is reporting that washington dc is currently hotter than 99% of the world; and some visitors to the fair remarked that it feels like the gates of hell opened up. (real, not a joke)
Brad Johnson6also no one was going anyway. but yeah turns out putting Koch and Exxon in charge of our future was a bad idea
🇲🇽🇯🇵🇨🇼🇨🇻6how unfortunate for those 4 people
Just Kevin5Republican caused global warming has closed down the Republicans' Freedom 250 Fyre Festival on our National Mall.
Marcie808🧡🖤⚾️4I’m confident that the official attendance numbers for the run of the fair will be one million because that’s what 20,000 rounds up to
Mr Too Damn Bueno 🎉4more like Great American State UNfair amirite Mr President?? You should definitely go out there right now and stay for a while
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.
Cynfulfan75Both attendees must be sad
Chris K57lol. “A few thousand “….lol
ab4aoc.bsky.social53I thought Trump said he was doing a speech in 107 degree heat to show how tough he was
D.H. Mitchell 🇺🇸🇵🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱29Much like the Kennedy Center closing for, "Renovations".
Pro-Algae Leftist25Remember drill, baby, drill? Karma is a bitch.
Jmart20A few thousand? More like a few! Also are they closing it or did no one show up. Inquiring minds want to know!
Rex Huppke147PREDICTION: They will use weather as an excuse to cancel the Fourth of July fireworks/Trump rally to avoid the embarrassment of sparse crowds.
Marci6Huh, 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🤔
Diane5This is a crack up. If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought it was an SNL parody skit. 😂😂😂😂
Steve 52 NO KINGS, NO FASCISTS3All 37 people are now out of the fair!
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 Harper48Must have taken several seconds to evacuate everyone.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎12Lol, I just posted how here in Texas, 5-7pm is the hottest part of the day.
Ben Warner10That 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?
Shannon Pertner8Did they interview the attendee to get their reaction?
Karen F8Yeah, that makes sense. Didn't need NOAA after all, did we? Sigh.....
Anne Helfrich5All the smartest best people from start to finish. Is the pretend big boy arch melting yet?
Anomalous Jen4Theyre trying to kill their base So anyway...
Katy4Is that the feels like temperature, or the actual temperature? 🔥 🥵
Pope ghibby! - Keeper of the Holy Anal Rail Gun4Dozens of people are heartbroken.
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 4729Anyone else seeing blank space where images are supposed to be? All over Blue Sky, not only here.
Frank J. Kadel, D.O. FACOS22Wait, are you saying they made both people leave?
RadioStatic13He’s setting it up to cancel his speech to save himself the embarrassment of a poor to nonexistent turnout.
Sue Me12I 💙 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...
Dude the Obscure12How can you tell it’s shut down? The crowd is the same.
faithy777.bsky.social12There 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.
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
Now we find out2”It had no idea its manager had booked this gig and never would have agreed to it had it known”
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
Annalisa1If 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.
They mentioned heat stroke talking about the 250th American State MAGA rally & all i heard was stroke & now i have to buy more champagne
Jen3It'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....
dragonlady1011.bsky.social1😂😂😂 who knows we may get lucky he’s planning a really long speech you may get to pop that cork yet🤞
CoachKK1I’m thinking that little mushroom 🍄 only need a couple strokes max, right Stormy😹
Lisa (SoldierGirl)💔🤍💙💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊1It's always good to be prepared, I guess I should stock up on more Jack Daniels also! 😂
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.
Matt Beckman10The Minnesota state fair gets 100,000+ attendees on a rainy day. When you say well attended do you mean hundreds?
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!)
AllCaps-224“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.
Tee1Worth the $80 million in tax payer dollars?
prosopagnosia.bsky.social1Funny 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.
