Please let them!

Looking like jonestown, they already drank the kool-aid.

First, there would have to be a mass of people. Not gonna happen.

Alas.

If MAGA wants to off themselves to pwn teh libs, let them.

100 degrees with 80% chance of thunder storms. Perfect.

Perfect is trump passes out from a heat stroke mid-sentence and a lightning bolt vaporizes his ass before he hits the floor. Perfect!

to God's eyeballs.

I wonder if they will do anything for the people coming. I think putting up large shades that can be taken down at night fall would have been possible if they actually had considered it.

I'm past summers, in very hot weather many restaurants in Manhattan with outdoor areas had something that created a very fine mist that was refreshing at the ends of their space.

I hope they will at least be proving cold bottles of water. Free, if possible. (They should have money left from not paying the costs of top musicians.)

No doubt.

You win the internet

there are going to be multiple flyovers that are scheduled at very short intervals. It is an accident waiting to happen.

He'll cancel, not because he doesn't want to be there, but because he's concerned with the health of his supporters. And the fools will believe that.

Not unlike how wildfire smoke can cause excess deaths in people with lung and heart disease, which are difficult to directly attribute in any one case but are clearly present in the epidemiology data as a whole.

MAGA is about to find out what smog is again.

But the post speech fireworks for 45 minutes, along with the heat, are concerning.

90 degrees?
I just came in from watering some new plantings - I started at 7:30 am - it's now 87 degrees and I'm absolutely spent.
I'm sitting here with a tall glass of ice water trying to recover. Yes it will only be 90 degrees, but those there will most likely have been there for quite some time.

I was not watering in the sun - ferns in shady spots.

considering the attendance at his events so far.

But some people might turn out for the fireworks since that's traditional for the holiday.

ETA: At least not much to worry about regarding a crowd at his speech and other events during the day.

The fireworks, though, could be a cause of concern because Trump always hires the cheapest, most incompetent people. They could burn down DC. Good thing there might be rain to put out a possible fire.

of posters, on touting the event, the other the dos and don't. The couple of things I remember were no coolers, lawn chairs, back packs, no outside food and drink (forcing people to buy such, if there are food and drink vendors there; or causing people to fast and become dehydrated, because there are no food and drink vendors there). The other thing that I thought was weird was that they weren't going to let anyone in after 5p.m.

I read they're charging $20 for water, $30 for a turkey leg.

I hope people don't bring their children.

watch from a distance. Fireworks tailgate parties.

I wouldn't go.

No need to go anyway. You can see fireworks from a distance.

I hope people skip the grounds and have fireworks tailgate parties.

would be particularly bad, especially if there is any rain.

mango mimosa from Trader Joe's.

I just get more and more impatient...

for smaller occasions. But, darn it, I want to open that good bottle NOW!!!

Place is going to be sweltering

sizzle wit da wizzle

That is all

I have had a very bad feeling about this all week.

would be smart enough to acknowledge that the Republican Party don't give a shit.

The cult will somehow blame the Democrats, and shithole will blame Obama.

Let him scream at stuff for hours in the sweltering, oppressive heat. It may be the end of him🙏

I anticipate heat stroke events and maybe even deaths if he goes ahead with this madness. 100+ degrees, high humidity, no water, no shade, the president promises to give a long, LONG speech to "prove he can do anything", fireworks don't start till 11 or later.

Basically, this is my vision of Hell.

wellll....

NWS forecast:

Independence Day:
A chance of showers between 2pm and 3pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 3pm. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 102. Heat index values as high as 110. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

(cough) bullshit (cough)

He won't announce that. The few who show will find out at the last minute after sitting in the heat for hours. Cruelty is the word.

It's a plan.

Remember those that attended Trump rallies in the past and probably got COVID and died.
