      Plague of locusts? Blood raining down? Him literally getting struck by lightening?

      I would like the later. It would be hilarious.

      The mistake you are making is assuming religious people are capable of logic, reasoning, or changing their minds. God himself could appear and tell them they are wrong and they wouldn’t believe it, because their existing beliefs are a forgone conclusion. They did not arrive at them by reason or logic and they will not be moved by reason or logic.

    Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

    “celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military…” Fuck off. Trump doesn’t give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

    But don’t worry, they’ve already spent tens of millions of dollars just to get to this point before cancelling.

    If he was nicer, the Democrats could use their weather machine to give him nice weather on his birthday, but he’s been a big meanie lately, so it’s rain for HitlerPig’s birthday.

      To be fair they stated they didn’t want to have an audience out in lightning.

      Whatever the case, calling off such festivities is what I’d like to happen anyway. His stupid birthday parade not happening would be a good outcome.

    “Cancelled” would be great! The ultimate Fuck You from whatever God(s) exist.

    But, does anyone truly believe Little Donnie Mangolini will let it go that easily??? Something he’s yearned for since Season 1??

    Methinks “rescheduled” is a more likely outcome. 🤷‍♂️

        I don’t know. He refused to go to D-Day 50th anniversary memorial ceremony because it was raining and he didn’t want to get wet. I guess it wasn’t his ego on the line, then, and I’m sure the Secret Service is insisting on a covered viewing area, anyway, after the near-miss in Buttler, PA.

      I’m split. On one hand, thunderstorms in DC in the summer are so obvious and predictable that anyone doing any kind of organizing for an outdoor event would have considered them months in advance and would have contingencies. So “cancelled due to thunderstorms” is obviously a cover for “we’re getting too much pushbacka and don’t want to embarrass ourselves.”

      Otoh, not realizing that there is a thunderstorm pretty much every single day in DC in the summer is exactly the level of competence I expect from the Trump admin.

      Trump’s flunkies had 4 years to write Project 2025, so of course that shit has been implemented at frightening precision.

      But they’re incredibly bad at doing anything on short notice. Expect Four Seasons level brainfarts if they need to improvise a solution yet again.

      Knowing trump they’ll make up some fake “security threat” thing to reschedule as opposed to “literally whatever God(s) you believe in don’t want this to happen”

    Second thought: go ahead and do it, and let Trump wave a flag on top of the biggest float

    Yeah right. Probably cancelling it because he doesn’t want people to show up and ruin his dick-tator moment by protesting.

    Then again Diaper Don doesn’t like rain cleaning off his nasty orange makeup and getting in his rats nest.

    The fact that the military’s birthday keeps getting called ‘Trump’s birthday’ shows how far we are sliding into fascism.

      The fact that ya’ll care at all is fucking weird, dude.

      Edit: since apparently I wasn’t clear, I’m saying that celebrating your military’s birthday is fucking weird. Ya’ll went places with this one and none of them were remotely close.

          Congratulations on being fully illiterate, I guess, since I at no point said that I didn’t. In fact, as a Canadian(but more importantly, a human being) I care a great deal about how awful Trump is, thanks.

        It just tells me that they’re educated on national history. Educated enough to call bullshit when they see it.

          Except that what he’s doing is weird at every level and the military worship of the USA is well documented and bad. This dude is complaining that the military’s birthday is being co-opted by Trump and that’s the sign of facism but I’m wondering why there should even be anything to co-opt in the first place. It’s sucking off the military for so long that’s already clearly pushed the USA towards facism looooong before Trump being a douche did anything.

          “Educated on national history”- oh, fuck off.

      Yes, but at the cost of long range visibility and wind, which I guess would only be a problem in certain specific circumstances.

        We live in the future.

        For 3 grand you can buy a smart scope that does all the trig for you. You tell it where you want to hit. Plug in the weight, barrel length, powder charge, etc. It does the math and gives you a firing solution.
