Trump Wants Tanks At His Over-The-Top Fourth Of July Celebration

Great idea. Anything to poke at him in a visible way.
No Tanks, thanks

If POC are not scared of this, they should be.

(1) They can be seen as fighting, thus confirming biases

(2) They can get hurt…something that can well happen in Trump’s USA (4th of July "Celebration " or not…but certainly in an environment full of Trumpers)

Seriously, this whole tRump’s 4th of July could be the start of something no one is expecting.

wants to cut out the middleman–the inaugural planner was paid $26 million

How I wish this could have a Hollywood ending…“Americans Rallying Against Trump For The World To See”

Hey Kim gets them, why can’t he?

This is surprising to hear Graham counter Donald on collusion.

I don’t see people that live in DC being very happy about any of this. The moron is being allowed to take over a national holiday, one I’m sure he knows nothing about. It’s all about him as usual.

If it is rained out, I’ll be laughing.

Otherwise it’s whether boycotting or protesting wins out.

Really doubt the day will end without at least some clashes, since it’s not like a normal protest/counterprotest situation, police would have problems containing things.

90 degrees with 40% chance of thunderstorms at this point. I’m not that far away and we’ve had absolutely no rain in probably 3 weeks.

hoagie · July 1, 2019, 2:42pm

I hope it’s pouring rain with thunder and lightening.

rogerhead · July 1, 2019, 2:42pm

Looks like there really is no one in his administration with the guts and brains to tell this shithead either no or that his ideas are just fucking stupid.

Thoughts and Prayers…

Has DC been paid upfront for this nauseating display of egomania. Pretty sure he’ll stiff them like he has all other municipalities since he’s been in office. He’s running a tab that now approaches close to $1 million, some of which date back to his 2016 campaign. In this case, the money for the 4th will come from taxpayer dollars, so its not his money at all since he doesn’t pay taxes. But has it been appropriated by Congress to the tune of what he’s asking for? Doubtful. Of course, budgets mean nothing to this moron unless he can spend lavishly on all his vanity projects.

Among the guests of honor will doubtless be Daddy Vlad, Rocket Man, and the Bone Saw Prince. Most of the up front seats will be taken by garden variety fascists and abomination butt lickers (Lindsey’s hoping).

mickeyg · July 1, 2019, 2:43pm

What are the odds Bone Spurs doesn’t bring up “Crooked Hillary” or “Corrupted Bob Mueller” or “Sleepy Joe Biden” in his speech from his balcony on the Lincoln Memorial ?

hoagie · July 1, 2019, 2:45pm

Lardass still has not paid DC for his inauguration.

mrf · July 1, 2019, 2:47pm

I have visions of the Animal House finale with the tanks heading towards the VIP section.

matx · July 1, 2019, 2:47pm

The irony of dictators and strongmen celebrating the signing of the British colonies’ Declaration of Independence

esva · July 1, 2019, 2:47pm

I agree. I hope the turnout is even less than Donnie’s “record-breaking” inauguration crowd. I can say that no one in my family will be there, nor will we be tuning in on TV.

Why he has not been aggressively pushing to be added to Mr. Rushmore I’ll never know.
