In San Diego there is an annual Big Bay Boom where 5 boats in the harbor sync their fireworks to go off in unison. The only TV station in th⁰e city which showed it was FOX and they started it by honoring the i-phone. Then they went on to do more pro GOP BS.

I would NOT allow them to ruin it for me. I hit MUTE and put on the music of Th's Stars and Stripes Forever...

Fuck tRump and Happy Birthday USA!!!

Now we need to take to the streets, peaceful protests are going to be useless in the future. We can't wait for midterms (which may or may not actually take place). Been there, done that. I seriously would die for my country. I don't have kids or a dog so what do I have to lose? I love the USA!!!!!!!!! I HATE tRump's cult. I WILL defend the USA with all of my might. I may be only a 5'1", 90 pound, 64 year old woman but I have the passion of three people combined. I also have energy to spare when I get angry, and I AM very, VERY angry!!!

I've posted some of the most spectacular fireworks I could find, but I made sure that what I posted didn't include the felon's speech! And all we can hope for is that enough of our fellow citizens are angry enough to finally stand up against this 34-count felon who can't seem to help committing additional crimes on a daily basis. And please let those fellow citizens include Congress! It's long past time!
