  1. BIDEN SUPPORTERSπŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

  2. Who is going to be responsible for the damage done

  3. BURNING πŸ₯΅πŸ”₯ MAN became MUD MAN.

  4. Attendees were told long term exposure to mud causes Conservatism!

  5. Anyone who said they made the best of it is lying

  6. why does everyone follow each other ? isnt the entire dessert a road and you can drive wherever you want?

  7. I take it the organizer of this event will bring in heavy equipment to fix the landscape from all the damage from people and their vehicles

  8. What a waste of gas. Really irresponsible to be having events that everyone drives long distances especially with large energy and resource wasteful RV. There is a climate emergency. Time to cancel it and hold smaller local events instead. #ClimateActionNow

  9. It’s like setting up camp and it starts to rain so the wife wants to leave. Pretty sure this is exactly what you signed up for. People who left should be banned. β€˜Celebrities’ were mentioned!? oh my, I hope they didn’t get muddy.

  10. Why the don't schedule this event in better time of the year?

  11. What a wastage of time and money

  12. Which is precisely WHY i dont attend events like this; traffic is beyond horrendous.

  13. Shelter in place request. A request is not an order.

  14. That exodus is that way every year

  15. They deserve this!…..…and far far far more!

  16. The media is hilarious as the event ended yesterday so no they haven’t been unexpectedly trapped for days πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ most expected to be there till late Monday

  17. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜
