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

      A rainbow appearing in the sky over Dublin on the day that Ireland voted to legalize same-sex marriage? A tornado destroying the house of Rep. Joe Harding, who authored the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida?

      I don’t know how much clearer He can get!

      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.

      To be fair, the headline of this article did literally call it a birthday parade.

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

    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.

      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.
