Was Yogi Berra there?
He showed up after it was over. 🤣

“Visit your Lincoln-Mercury dealer today to arrange a test drive in the new 2026 Mercury Retrograde!”
Was the Valley girl yogi there? She’s the one that chants “O’m..myGod!”

Was ICE there to take advantage of the gathering?
Looked mainly like a bunch of stupid white women.
He was too smart.
Honestly, this sounds like mass psychosis or possession.
Idiots
Disgusting.
If I can't get it with fine Corinthian leather the deal is off.
Seriously though, they should have done something actually helpful like picking up litter or painting over graffiti.
