It won’t be dark. They’ll have some lovely fireworks to fly through.

I hope someone whispers into the felon’s ear that the Fourth of July isn’t a federal holiday this year. I’ll laugh myself into conniptions when he issues an executive order to “correct” that problem.

And, yes, it isn’t. The federal holidy is observed on Friday, July 3rd this year.

I just thought I’d share [Barbara Walters’ interview with Donald Trump on ABC’s 20/20 - August 17, 1990](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TwVCuPJrMw). Too bad it hasn’t been required viewing.

They’re shutting down Reagan International for 24 hours for Trump’s party.

Well, it will make it harder for people to escape that mess. He may have a big crowd after all. But they aren’t yelling what he thinks. It ain’t gonna be pg13.

Does MAGA ever get tired of Trump’s bullshit? Do they ever take stock of the situation and ask themselves, “What the fuck did we do?” It’s just one shit show after another with this guy. This can’t be what they wanted. Is it?

And by the way, that seems to be Trump’s picture when he was 20, and old enough to be an enlisted man. But of course, that’s just a costume. But if Trump posted that in these times, it’s clearly one of his favorite costumes.

Now he ~~dances~~ spasms to the tune, but when YMCA came out he sued them for IP theft because of the uniforms. He claimed they were his and his alone. But he liked the sailor and the policeman better than the one in the picture. /s but who knows? It might be true. He may still do it

That picture of Trump has made the rounds many times, and while it appears to be a real photo, this Wikimedia citation of the photo indicates that it is from the 1964 yearbook of the military high school which Trump attended, making him 17 or 18 at that time.
