"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.'"
Somehow we elected that fool twice and then elected someone so bad it made him look good
The first time, the Conservatives on the Supreme Court stopped the vote counting when it looked like Bush would lose Florida. The legal justification used was "because we want Bush to win".
The second time was a combination of Swift Boating and the man who oversaw the Ohio part of the election, literally worked for the Bush Campaign. Which turned out like this.
It's why the GOP keeps insisting there's cheating during elections, because they do it.
It's also why they insist any leftist with any platform is "funded by Soros" because they're all funded by shady billionaires.
I really don't think that the human race has evolved as much as we thing it has. We're still throwing poop at each other.
I've heard that he didn't complete the sentence because he didn't want a record of him saying "shame on me".
And yet what he DID say got memed WAY harder than "shame on me" ever would have.
Yeah but it got memed a decade after he left office. Flubbing up one quote is much better than giving the press a sound clip of you saying "shame on me" while running for reelection after one of the most controversial presidencies.
Ya but better than videos showing thousands of innocent dead Iraqi civilians followed by a clip of him saying shame on me.
So 100 people have more money than sense.
If I had to guess, plenty of them are "influencers" the more of a disaster this is the better for their views on how horrible it was. It's a no lose situation for them.
Are we even sure those are real sales? They only made 100 tickets available. It’s far more reasonable to assume that they “released 100 tickets” and then had a grifter friend purchase them all immediately. You’d be able to say that you sold out. Then you ride the wave of free publicity that you get from news article like this. Seems like grifting 101.
I’d bet you’re right. Why else would they only release 100 tickets? It’s a laughably small number for a music festival. Most bars hold more people than that.
Just imagine the Fyre Festival but with another Covid outbreak.
If I knew then what I know now about the first fire fest, I would have considered trying to get tickets.
I have fairly low standards for a vacation, usually I like to go camping so spartan accomodations, meh food, etc. are pretty much par for the course. I usually do a good bit better for myself than the fyre fest provided, but I could make do just fine with what was available.
But man, I would have loved to watch all the entitled rich assholes melting down in-prson in real-time.
To be fair I did see a guy write online that he bought a ticket to the festival when the prices went way down claiming to be at most middle class.
So now the planners have 50k to pay themselves to start planning. Next week.
"They'd never fuck us a SECOND time"
I hear Ryan Cohen has bought in
Don't smear a mans name like that.
GME or BBBY bag holder?
one of the world’s infinitely renewable resources is stupid people
Even if it's shitty, at least it gives these losers something to talk about compared to the rest of their vapid wastes of lives.
Don't worry I'm sure there vast amounts of money will help them recover from your bitter criticism
I'm pretty sure having that much money would cure me of my bitterness too.
Yeah, the rich are so superior and better than the rest of us, am I right?
Attacks on xi and putin doesn't make someone a tech bro you guys are great at gaslighting not so good at making rational arguments
What are you even talking about?
Somebody should give a ticket to the guy who won his ticket in a raffle
last time they had it.
And the guy who secured the water.
I hope it goes exactly like last time. I laughed for months over that.
I bet the ham cheese sandwiches are gonna be really good this time
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
I highly recommend the Netflix documentary about the first one. Very entertaining with a dosage of head shaking and sadness.
Felt so bad for the man that was fully prepared to go blow someone for water.
Gonna be so much YouTube drama from this one down the track, love watching a shit show unfold 🍿
The guy is a pathological scam artist and liar.
The documentary showed when he was out on bail, he got caught doing similar ticket scams again!
It’s almost funny at this point because this seems to be all he knows how to do. I’m sure we’ll hear about this again and he’ll be going back to jail at some point.
