Trump To Host Second Mass Gathering In Two Days Amid Swelling COVID Case Count | Talking Points Memo

WASHINGTON (AP) — As coronavirus cases spike, public health officials are pleading with Americans to avoid large crowds and hold more muted Independence Day celebrations, but subdued is not President Donald Trump’s style, and he aimed to go big, promising a “special evening” in Washington that could bring tens of thousands to the National Mall.

Trump’s “Salute for America” is a BIGLY FAKE…ARTIFICIAL…

Trump salutes to Putin’s Russia most evident in his do-nothing approach and disbelief to the Russian 100k bounty to kill US soldiers!

All told…Trump just cannot help himself from KAGging Putin!
Trumpian KAG = Kiss Assing GRU!

Addendum:

“There are a lot of killers” - Trump

Indeed…Putin Bounty and Trump Rethugs

Most of the US is forecast to be in the 90’s so no problem. COVID-45 hates heat.

For the Mount Rushmore event, GOP Gov. Kristi Noem, a Trump ally, insisted social distancing wasn’t necessary and masks were optional.

Is it merely coincidence that an anagram of “Kristi Noem” is “Irksome Nit?”

I just stumbled across “Catastrophe” by Josh just now, then read this.

Someone…please make it stop. He’s a madman, a lunatic, a pyromaniac, either knowingly or unknowingly, bent on destroying America.

By the way, it’s been over a week now since the NYT exposed Bountygate, and Trump is still not doing a goddamn thing to protect our troops. And Pompeo, Esper and others remain silent or complicit. I haven’t and will never forget that.

Hopefully this will be his last American celebration that he ruins for the the nation. I’m sure only his most Q friendly will attend but many will watch on Tee Vee and ratings will be the greatest ever known to any potentate or god. The tweets will be tremendous.

Don’t watch it. Pass it on.

Most of my family members left countries over a century ago where there were similar demagogues who preyed on peoples fears. Unlike Trump and his family they served honorably in our armed forces and respected our institutions. If they were around today they’d be aghast at how someone like this came to power.

Trump rallies are like using yeast to make bread. Hold a rally, wait 2 weeks, and the numbers rise. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Here’s Kim Guilfoyle speaking at an indoor event in South Dakota, no masks in sight, that was also attended by Kristi Noem the day before it was announced Guilfoyle tested positive for Covid (video from Facebook)

lol. We aren’t over it either. There have been a few spikes since easing restrictions here. On Monday all of us in Ontario will have to wear a mask in public spaces. I’m fine with that. I do already and at work.

So you’re saying Trump rallies are yeast infections? Can’t argue with that.

All I want to know is if Trump will still be running his Abrams battle tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue to show Americans that he is battle ready.
