I saw a grand total of less than five minutes of the service, switching back and forth between different channels. That was enough for me to gauge how big of a s**t show it was. I was hoping the stadium wouldn’t be packed, but it was. MAGAts have the attention span of a gnat, so I was surprised that they could sit through a four hour performance. And quite the performance it was - fireworks…really? TSF was the last straw for me.
