    Can lightning disable a tank? I don’t want the crews to get hurt but four or five M1 Abrams stuck in the middle of Constitution Ave would make for some fucking GREAT b-roll for the nightly news.

      Maybe? I kind of doubt it, though. These things are freaking built like tanks, after all.

    Can’t let his comb over go more wild in the rain. Remember, he doesn’t even show up for veteran’s memorial service in the rain because rain and dying for your country is for losers. What he said anyway. $48 million was spent just getting all that gear there. Could have fed starving American children by funding the program that was canceled but who needs to do that right? OH WELL! ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (/s)

    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.

      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.

    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.

        And then immediately afterwards frame it as the United States 250th birthday. Shenanigans.

      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.

        In his mind he’s probably worried that the low turnout would be bad press for him.

        You know, rather than concern for the safety of the attendees.

    Maybe this is misguided, but in some ways I was looking forward to seeing whatever actions had been planned in DC that day. I guess we’ll see what happens. Regardless, Asheville is coming out strong for a No Kings rally.
