2. Codswallop complete and utter codswallop. Pravda would be proud of that product.

There might have been people in D.C. for the 4th but over all it was a big fucking disaster.

Everybody had to leave the mall because of thunderstorms, a large % could not get back in after
being made to leave, the fireworks were so over the top with so many going off @ the same height
that the smoke obscured the view of the displays, the smoke from the fireworks was so bad that
there were air quality warnings the next day, Trump’s speech wasn’t about celebrating America but
him, Trump fell asleep during the fireworks, the “Great American State Fair” aka Trump’s shit show
was just soggy saltine crackers, and Trump changed the name of the celebration and stole the money
that was set aside for it.

Who owns the Washington Post now?

“The program was reshuffled when Trump decided to headline the event himself with a speech.”

Trump was the headliner because all the acts bailed out on having anything to do with that shit show.
Even the ice ice baby dude got out of preforming there.
