SATURDAY UPDATE: Denver7 apparently covered the rally live via Facebook on Saturday. It was about as well-attended as you might have guessed.

We’re not sure why this is news, but we got a kick out of this story from Oscar Contreras at Denver7:
A group of northern Colorado residents will take to the streets Saturday in support of President Donald Trump and “his stated goal to ‘Make America Great Again.'”
So far, 181 people have indicated they’ll be participating in the “I Stand with Trump – Make America Great Again” rally scheduled to take place on July 28 on the southeast corner of Highway 34 and Lake Loveland, across from Dwayne Webster Veterans Park.
There will be no speakers or planned agenda. Instead, the event will be utilizing the First Amendment right to demonstrate on public sidewalks, said rally organizer David Huntwork. [Pols emphasis]
We’ll be curious to see how many folks actually “take to the sidewalks” for Trump on Saturday, since the number of people who show up is never anywhere close to the number of people who sign up for something like this. Republican rallies in Colorado haven’t tended to do all that well anyway, even with the lure of free food.
Saturday’s MAGA “rally” in Loveland stands in stark contrast to events like the “Women’s March” in Denver in January 2017 (and again in 2018), which drew hundreds of thousands of people to Civic Center Park. The MAGA rally won’t even come close to the crowd of thousands that attended the “March for Our Lives” rally in March 2018, or the “RedForEd” day in April.

MAGA!!!!! Moscow Agent Governs America!!!!!!
Some of us appreciate the ironies of the location: across from a Veteran's Park and on East Eisenhower Blvd. in Loveland, CO.
Why would supporters of this *resident want to be there? Trump carefully avoided (or dodged, if you prefer) the chance to be a veteran. Trump's campaign and a recent trip abroad denigrated the mission of NATO, an organization fervently supported by Eisenhower. And Trump's actions do not indicate he wants to be in a "Loveland" for all.
Be nice to Cadet Bone Spurs, he is very sensitive and fragile.
First Amendment right to demonstrate on public sidewalks, you know, the same First Amendment that donny putin wants to undermine at every turn. Luckily, the sidewalks should be wide enough to accommodate the dozens who'll turn up, unless they got really into the Duck Dynasty marathon.
It says the rally is expected to start at 1 pm and is expected to be over by 4.
If it starts on time, it should finish at about 1:10.
Don't be late, Moderatus, or you will miss all the festivities.
And remember, no gay pride or Confederate symbols. (How often are those two types of items worn together? )
How often are gay pride and Confederate symbols worn together? Not often, but the Proud Boys, Gavin McInnes' weird alt-right cult, is pretty darn homoerotic. They're still ashamed of it, though, so no gay "pride"….
Might these demonstrators go on a hunger strike while there? Just a few hours
