"As Donald Trump’s rise was accompanied by branded merchandise – steaks, ties, boxers and red Maga hats – so his descent may come to be known by the stickers, shirts and hoodies now being sold by an obscure Pennsylvanian landscaping company that wound up playing a comic and widely celebrated role in the final throes of the president’s re-election campaign.

Four Seasons Total Landscaping – a Philadelphia groundskeeping company situated between a crematorium and a sex shop where on Saturday Rudy Giuliani somehow held a press conference about baseless claims of voter fraud – has swiftly sought to cash in on its newfound fame, selling merchandise emblazoned with Trump-inspired puns.

On Saturday morning, Donald Trump announced via Twitter that there would be a “big press conference” at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia. He then changed the statement, clarifying that the event would be at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, on the gritty outer edges of the city, not the plush downtown hotel many had assumed.

During the press conference a reporter told Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, that thanks to the vote count in Pennsylvania, the election had been called for Joe Biden.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Giuliani replied."

It is a great story for Trump's political career to end on.

Mistaking this for this

Let's not let them off so easy with just a laugh. It was absolutely bizarre one of the people behind Rudy is a convicted pedophile.

Man featured at Giuliani press conference is a convicted sex offender



Quote:
The first person Rudy Giuliani, the attorney for President Donald Trump, called up as a witness to baseless allegations of vote counting shenanigans in Philadelphia during a press conference last week is a sex offender who for years has been a perennial candidate in New Jersey.
“It’s such a shame. This is a democracy,” Daryl Brooks, who said he was a GOP poll watcher, said at the press conference, held at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Northeast Philadelphia. “They did not allow us to see anything. Was it corrupt or not? But give us an opportunity as poll watchers to view all the documents — all of the ballots.”
Trenton political insiders watched with bemusement as Brooks took the podium.
Brooks was incarcerated in the 1990s on charges of sexual assault, lewdness and endangering the welfare of a minor for exposing himself to two girls ages 7 and 11, according to news accounts.
Incredibly disturbing. Shows you what kind of people they are.

Trump's attorney brought a convicted sex offender to a press conference held in the parking lot of a landscaping company in a seedy section of Philadelphia.

This is absurd.

Somewhere I read that the name of the person at the press conference was the same as a sex offender but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON.

BTW I am not a Trump & minions supporter so I do support the truth!

Yeah, that's not true. At the bottom of the article I linked:


Quote:
James Gee, chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), also said he immediately recognized Brooks.
“Yeah, I know Daryl. It’s so fitting that he would be there,” Gee said.
Brooks continued to deny the charges he was convicted of, alleging the victims were the children of neighborhood drug dealers he had targeted in his community activism. He also alleged Trenton politicians he criticized played a role as well.
“I went to prison for three-and-a-half years. That’s what they said I was did. I was 25-years-old,” Brooks said. “I was an activist always doing the right thing. They lied on me. The cops set me up.”
The conviction has never been reversed.

The best story of this entire election was the press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping. It will take a real special idiot to top that one!

But then again the MAGA crowd is saying he will run again in 2024 so fingers crossed!

We need to see if Four Season Total Landscaping sells hats and shirts now that the MAGA hats are obsolete.

I can't imagine how many of Trump's supporters were looking forward to a press conference in the real Four Seasons only to find out the befuddled truth. Interestingly enough, the owner was in the middle of bible study when he got the call that the president wanted to use his property for a press conference. He did not even know about it beforehand, kind of similar to when Trump made use of that church in Washington D.C. for the photo op with him holding the bible lopsidedly.
