Are there damage waivers on the backs of those tickets?
If the CinC wants to have the DoD parading planes over Washington DC all afternoon, that’s what’ll happen.
I expect it’ll be very reminiscent of the sort of mass flyovers the Soviets used to trot out for May Day. Or an aerial version of that dumb “tanks through DC” parade he did a few years ago. The only upside to using planes is there’ll be a lot less pavement needing repair afterwards.
Absolutely. Trump loves those big showy displays that other corrupt strongmen get.
What a perfect metaphor for trumpism.
So the air show goes until 11:30pm? Well after dark? While they’re shooting off 10x more fireworks than ever before?
Just making sure I was reading that right…
Probably not, but as always with Trump, shit is poorly worded.
My guess would be that the airshow will end before he starts talking, and the fireworks will start after his speech.
There was a discount on locally-sourced spirulina.
It’s too bad that Spiro Gyra turned them down…
Oh all you bitter winter ogres…
Come off it! This Freedom 250 stuff is awesome!
I mean, can you say TaLeNt, or what???
EDIT: was she trying to sing about being born a certain colour? (try not to re-listen too many times)
I kind of favor King Merdes.
Apparently the “250” in the name refers to the number of people allowed in.
What utterly bleak, pathetic shit.
Because airplanes played such a big part in our revolution. “If George Washington had as many planes as I have, the war would have been over in two weeks.”
The Freedom 250 website had a section where everyday Americans could submit an application to showcase their talent. It looks like if you were willing to pay to get there, you got a spot.
I feel like DC has more people wandering around on any random Tuesday. This event is serving as an actual people repellent.
“Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory." - Donald Trump, in a speech on July 4th, 2019.
He may have finally found a way to get people to sit through one of his speeches: promise a big fireworks show afterwards.
Look at the bright side. At least he doesn’t have the stamina to deliver a speech like good ol’ Fidel Castro used to do: 4 or 6 hours of continuous fiery oratory.
Huh.
Too bad I wasn’t around there, and do my GG Allin best.
Or Wing.
So about like this:
A question for thread participants: if you were in DC and had convenient transport, would you go gawk at this pitiful excuse for a celebration?
I’ve been turning that question over in my mind, and finally decided that yes, I would attend – wearing a shirt that clearly expressed an anti-Trump sentiment of some sort. Or, if such a thing exists, a t-shirt celebrating the opening of the Obama Presidential Library.
i get your point, but I wouldn’t go near the place. Showing up with anti-Trump garb would be a good idea, but would give them the fig leaf that this is “open to all Americans,” when of course it’s pure MAGA stupidly and incompetence on display. The fewer attendees the better.
