President Donald Trump has been steadily bulking up the annual Fourth of July celebration on the Mall, inserting himself aggressively into the planning process and demanding military displays of strength, including a flyover by the Navy’s Blue Angels.
Fourth For Donald
FIFY
Hope the argument that they will damage the streets will win the day against tanks. Tanks, right, are you gearing up for something or just trying in your own fake way to look like a tough guy. You are an idiot.
Just one more step in building the “look at how strong I am” image. Dictators and would be dictators love military displays.
Please let him set off the fireworks, it would undoubtedly be spectacular.
Rump still owes money to DC for his inauguration.
Trump still owes $7 million for inauguration
What did happen to all that inauguration money?
Tianemen Square 2.
I have no snark to offer. Only pleas for a near total boycott.
I also do not wish for standoffs between cheerers and jeerers. no one should.
As a DC property owner, no, not on the streets I pay for and not in the Nation’s Capitol. By the way, VoteVets.org is raising money to give out free John McCain t-shirts on the Mall July 4.
[Trump Wants Tanks At His Over-The-Top Fourth Of July Celebration]
Nice ! … then stay in North Korea —
Where is your sense of adventure? So many possibilities for good entertainment, and that social engagement that you’ve been asking for.
Egomania, We Hardly Knew Ye!
Because nothing says independence and freedom like tanks and missiles.
And instead of the Declaration of Independence, let’s all recite the War Powers Act.
Judging by the contrast between Democratic and Republican discourse, I would say that this summer is a spectacular one for America…and I say this in a good way.
Witness the robust sparring among Dems with respect to the candidates, their strengths and their weaknesses
Witness the lock-step sheeple of the GOP… There is nothing that the Dictator-wannabe does that they do not support. It’s like a horror movie.
But worse, because it’s not a movie.
What the Democrats have is something to build on…
But beware of the Purity Police
Beware of naysayers without constructive criticism
Beware of allowing sleepyheads (who should know better) to remain so
Aggressively pursue the Impeachment Inquiry with the same energy that is spent on arguing and handwringing
I do want to see exactly who the ticketholders are for the reserved seats in front of the Lincoln Memorial are. Some guesses: Mnuchin and Louise (Cruela De Vil) Linton, of course Jarvanka and the rest of the Trump spawn, SHS and her family including daddy, Mitch McConnell and wife Elaine Chao, the serviceman he pardoned who was convicted of murder.
This presents an opportunity…I am thinking a bunch of empty seats reserved for us commoners…
Trump has also eschewed the usual practice of hiring an event producer, diving into much of the minutiae — like from where to launch the exorbitant fireworks display — himself.
The British burned Washington in 1814, why not Trump, too?
He’s gone full fascist; you never want to go full fascist.
He wants to point tanks out over a crowd of civilians he has commandeered to attend a nationalistic rally? Is NO ONE in his administration considering the implications of this, and how could it ever end badly for a democratic society? Jesus H. Christ!
