Despite reports that his aides are scrambling to fill seats for his last-minute, July 4 bazaar, President Trump made a last-ditch attempt to hype what he calls “one of the biggest celebrations in the history of our country.”
Overlooked in all of this is the impact on flights in and out of DCA and connections all along the east coast. There are two scheduled ground stops during the fly-overs and fireworks displays, each of more than an hour. I hope the pilots remind their passengers that they are being inconvenienced so Trump pull another stunt.
I am still hoping that it turns out to be the rainiest. (It would probably be better if it did not rain, and no one showed up, but they would just fake that somehow.)
So you don’t like my idea of a bolt of lightning in the form of God’s own middle finger? (I envision it accompanied by a very deep voice saying “away with you, little man.”)
I’m down with that… But that’s asking a bit much of God, to take a partisan stance like this. All of the evangelicals would be Satan-worshippers by the end of the week (if they don’t deify Trump).
I don’t think that it asking too much for God to stand on the side of righteousness. Trump’s existence and continued success (even if just staying out of prison) is ripe fodder for atheists everywhere.
Edit: With climate change, I keep wondering if God has found a way around his promise not to do anything to wipe out humanity again. In this case, we are going to cause our own extinction, and God can move on to a more promising life form, perhaps on another planet.
