Remember When This Was Unthinkable?
The Washington Post outlines Trump’s Tribute to Trump on the Fourth of July.
Trump has been fixated since early in his term with putting on a military-heavy parade or other celebration modeled on France’s Bastille Day celebration, which he attended in Paris in 2017. Trump angrily backed off plans for a grand Veterans Day parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in 2018 amid concerns from District officials over costs and potential road damage from military vehicles.
Mr. Bone Spurs is spending tax dollars as fast as he can to put on this event, even though the National Park Service is already running in the red. There’s even going to be special VIP seating for his friends and major donors, which kinda spoils the whole meaning of Independence Day.
It appears that Trump has not hired someone to be the “designated event producer. But in this case, the producer is the president himself.” He’s meeting with planners several times a day and making most decisions himself. Hey, at least it’s keeping his nose out of real governing.
Pray for rain.
This will be a disastrous, tacky campaign rally complete with obese supporters in MAGA hats cheering his threadbare campaign lines about “Crooked Hillary”, or whatever it he calls her. He’ll start out on the teleprompter, but I predict he’ll go off the rails and launch into a 2 hour (Hitleresque tirade). He’ll top it off with Ivanka pushing some fake button to start the fireworks that have been moved out from the mall.
1Bet the crowd will be even smaller than his inauguration.
2I’m praying for severe thunder storms all day in DC on July 4th.
3I wonder how much money he will make with this? I plan to watch the Boston Pops on Bloomberg and the Houston Country Club fireworks from my balcony. Praying for rain in DC and clear skies here
4The VoteVets ate taking donations to buy John McCain t shirts to pass out at the event. Hilarious. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2019/06/25/mccain-t-shirts-trumps-july-4-event/1558309001/
5Every day he comes closer to being Trumpolini for real.
6MangoМосква really really wants a DPRK/Москва/Beijing style military woodiefest parade though, he and his MAGAots get stiff with that stuff.

The official NOAA forecast has a 60% chance of showers for DC on the 4th, forecast below sounds mildly promising to screw the thing up a bit.
Little chance of [TSRA] much lightning though, damn it [not something like we had a couple of nights ago with lightning bolts everywhere]. And not really hot enough in DC to drop a few old MAGAots in their tracks. But maybe this forecast will ‘improve’…
Extended Forecast for Washington DC:
“Independence Day A chance of showers and thunderstorms between 8am and 2pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 92. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
Thursday Night Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 2am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 75. Chance of precipitation is 60%.”

7The fly-overs of the Air Force planes and *AF1* during *the show* add a level of banana republic gaudiness I never, ever thought I’d see in the U.S.
8The hardest part of the rump sh*t-show is that it’s made me realize that all of the foundational beliefs I had about our country had no basis in reality. That the US could come under the spell of a carny barking game show host makes me want to puke.
I will be emailing our local PBS television station, KUHF, to tell them that, as members, we will not be watching the Mall “performances” on July 4, and that, though they unlikely have a choice, they should not be showing an obviously partisan program.
9If there were a better than even chance that people would be killed or injured in lightening strikes on the Mall during this event, I would scream “FAKE NEWS!” at NOAA for predicting that.
Better to get them all raptured together than individually.
10I fear that the 4th in d.c. could turn ugly.
If citizens rightfully protest and dmonstrate against is usurption of a celebration of a country of, for, by the people as he try’s to make it for the criminals, warmangers, profiteers and racists.
Look for a contigent of the ugly boys to show up a “security” and illegal orders go out as to treatment, and forced exclusion, of citizens.
Watch for syphilitic donnie call for a pogram against people of color and the poor.
Watch his deplorables use it as a call for a counter revolution taking us back to the 1800’s
All in all let us hope for a torrential rain on the 4th.
ps
11as a supposed “builder” one would think the demented one would understand the damage that 60 ton tanks will do to roads. Maybe the family has invested in local body shop/tire replacement companies and hope to boost profits by having tanks gouge potholes out of the roads.
Trump is now by default the “Dedicated Crackpot Granpa” at America’s 4th of July barbecue. He’ll appear on TV and say all the crazy stuff the looniest old dude at the picnic always says.
Don’t forget to ask him his opinion on busing:
12“I mean, you know, there aren’t that many ways you’re going to get people to schools.”
I don’t believe in the power of prayer, but I can’t criticize a good-natured toast or a little wishful thinking.
Here’s to a rainy fourth in DC!
13Current weather prediction for D.C. on the 4th is scattered thunderstorms and high of 94. It will be lovely. But just as he did at his inauguration, he will say it didn’t rain even if there is a deluge. For which I’m hoping.
14By the wy the doddering fool just promise “brand new Sherman Tanks” in the parade.
15Sherman tanks were obsolete even by the Korean war and by now they are near useless anachorism’s only good for memorials and movie props
K @14, M4 “Sherman Tanks” were getting outclassed by 1943, but were continually upgraded/modified and held on w/US armored forces until 1957.
.
As far as “Pray for rain.”. No, ‘Pray for LIGHTNING’, lots and lots of extra volt-amperage lightning, on the podium and ‘reserved’ areas…
16While reading an article in The Atlantic this morning, I came across this gem. I can’t think of anyone it applies to more than our commander in tweet. It’s a little long, but when reading what Cheeto Jesus is doing in regards to parades, foreign policy, border walls, etc., it seems relevant.http://www2.csudh.edu/ccauthen/576f12/frankfurt__harry_-_on_bullshit.pdf
17“Every day he comes closer to being Trumpolini for real.”
Il Douche’! on the positive side, remember how that turned out for the original, so there’s hope. with any luck, tragedy will strike, but the only section of stands that will collapse (crushing everyone sitting there), will be the one with Trump & his corrupt cronies sitting on it. hey, a boy can dream.
18Latest news is that the Joint Chiefs are going to attend demented donnies political rally on the 4th.
19If this is the case as soon as possible these disgraces should be prosecuted for illegaly particapaiting while in uniform in a partisan rally. Against the law and the UCMJ
Prosecute, strip them of all rank dishonorably discharge them with no security clearences and declared persona non grata at any and all military facilities of any sort. No benefits. No access to any px. No retirement party’s just a quick kick in the posterior as they get the bums rush out the door.
No cushy lobbying jobs at boeing for these disgraces. Any companies that hire them are eliminated from even bidding on any government contract for anything.
If they show up it is equililant of the german military changing their oath from serveing the country to pledging personal allegience to der fuher.
Any member of the military who particiates in any way, as pilot on fly over, drives a vehicle of any sort or marches are busted and given a dishonarable disgharge. No nuremberg defense for these moral cowards.
I do not wish to hear about their years of disservice to the country or past history. Jail and forced
Also praying for rain and there is a real possibility we might get it. We have been having late day storms o a regular basis lately her sin D.C. Wednesday is supposed to be chock a block with them. Fingers crossed for Thursday!
20All I hope for is one large bolt….I will be watching Boston.
