Mark Robinson thread | Sues CNN for Naked Africa reporting

So after the venerable Jeff Jackson graced our fair city yesterday... one Mark Robinson was seen in a local watering hole here later in the day... yesterday evening around 6pm. (He supposedly had a "rally" at "HorsePower Park" just outside of town. (the place is nothing but a dirtbike/4 -wheeler/4x4 dirt track for off - road racing and "Monster Truck" events. Their website had NO MENTION of a Mark Robinson "rally". So it was basically a nothing burger.)

Shortly after 6 pm, some friends got a wind of Robinson being in town - at this wine bar - so they went there wearing their Harris/Walz t-shirts from the Women's March earlier in the day. They reported back saying "there was hardly anyone in the wine bar with Robinson." "He didn't give any sort of speech or anything. He simply walked around, went back outside". There he was on the sidewalk, near another watering hole which has outdoor seating on the sidewalk - which was packed with Saturday night revelers. Everyone just stopped, looked at Robinson walking by, and ONLY ONE person, started clapping - very slowly, almost a polite, quiet little "golf clap". Sort of a sympathy clap, if you will. No one else clapped or said anything. Robinson simply walked to his "limo", got in and drove away.

Robinson's website lists his "event" for today, Sunday Nov. 3: Ace Speedway Victory Rally
Any bets on how many people show up in Elon today for this fat fart?

I have coached a youth basketball team the last few years and I had a really sweet kid play on our team last year. Within the last week or so, his dad has posted a picture of the two of them with Mark Robinson, after all of the damning evidence against him had come out. It really is a cult and a slow moving coup, as Bill Maher calls it.

I knew a nice kid in the 60's. Chapel Hill had a lot of protests-counterprotests-over integration then. This poor kid is forever immortalized by a picture of him holding a sign his dad gave him

Who the hell wants to Integrate
He really still is pissed at his dad (RIP)

That story gives me the same feeling I get when I see parents post pictures of their kids wearing Trump gear or standing by/holding Trump signs.

Yeah man - imagine if they had Facebook and Twitter in the 1930s, how many Germans would have had permanent photographic evidence of their parents dressing them up in brownshirts and swastikas.

Imagine trying to keep a straight face if a canvasser for Mark Robinson was at your door.

As his campaign funds have dried up and the state and national party apparatus has abandoned him like rats fleeing a sinking ship, Robinson has virtually vanished from television, radio, and the interwebs. I wonder if he's still carrying around those life-size cardboard cutouts of Trump and Melania to prop up at his campaign rallies so he can pretend that they're still supporting him. Pathetic, really.

An old man that lives near me (yes he is older than me, lol) just put up a Robinson sign
I just don't get it
 
A friend of mine is a Republican County Commissioner in Alexander County. They (the AC Republican group) held a "victory" rallly for and hosted Mark Robinson last week. I haven't asked my buddy if he really supports him or just feels like he has to given his place in local politics.

Anyway, he sent me a picture of the 2 of them. Ironically, they were standing in front of a wall honoring various people that had contributed to the local community (business leaders, volunteers, etc). On the plaque directly behind them was "Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams," founders of the furniture company of the same name that was based in Alexander County. They are both gay (one time a couple) and very vocal leaders of gay rights in the area. I don't think my friend saw the irony. He's probably never heard the things Mark Robinson has said about LGBTQ community.

I thought I saw a clip of a Trump rally in NC yesterday where Trump turned to someone in the wings and said, "Tell him no." I.just assumed this was in reference to Robinson.
