Nothing beats the Four Seasons press conference.

Coachella is a town not just a music festival. Also it’s in the Coachella Valley. Just fyi. Fuck trump

[–] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 51 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yes, that’s the point of the post. Trump and his campaign staff could not have tried harder to imply they were using the Coachella festival grounds for Trump’s “100k” event but it actually took place at a random shithole in the Coachella valley that’s a fraction of the size. But thank you for explaining it a second time and for including another map, the first one clearly wasn’t enough to illustrate the point that Coachella is a place in California and not just the name of a music festival.

Yeah, I don't get the point of this post. Even if it was the same place, it's just a field when the festival is not on, there's nothing special about it.

Thanks for the clarification! Never heard of the place or the festival. Or the trump rally, for that matter. Also fuck OP for being an obnoxious prick to you in response to this useful clarification

It's a deep cut, so not many will get it, but this reminds me of Bonaroo South by from "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell"

He knows that! He wants you to headline Coachella AND the shit farm!

Isn't every farm a manure farm?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nope, as a kid I had to go to other farms to collect manuare then spread it on the fields of my family's farm

Thanks for the childhood flashbacks

oohh my god, I was scrolling so fast that I thought this was a San Andreas map

I once typed this setup for a completely unrelated joke:

"What do you call a herd of masturbating cattle?"

And a friend punchlined me by answering:

"Coachella"

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

best place to spread shit no?

What are the tight winding lines? Suburbs, parking lots?

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Urban sprawl. Rows of identical homes with pointlessly twisty roads connecting them

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Quick look at the locations... it looks like the place trump had his get together is regularly used as overflow parking for the Coachella festival. Best guess from the satellite view.
