A Very Politicized Fourth of July

[bodysong]

Republicans have lost the right to use the word politicize against Democrats

Trump used America's 243rd Independence Day to make himself "Great"
and the Trump brand "Great, Again." Republicans let him do it.

The Republicans could suggest that Trump pose as Peter the Great, or Alexander the Great...

The Fourth of July holiday celebrates the anniversary of
US founders’ declaring independence from Britain in 1776
(and victory against challenges to Our Democracy and our
Nation.)

In Trump's mind, only pResident Goon #1 occupies the top tier in America.

Next tier down ? Trillionaires get Golden Tickets that are not real.)

(The premium seats are half empty. The real Golden tickets are in the Hamptons.)

His base gets General Admission tickets.

The Pentagon said the administration has provided 5,000 tickets
for Trump’s Independence Day event to the military.

The star of the show should have been Uncle Sam!

U.S. of A!

A sell-out is impersonating Uncle Sam in pResident Goon #1's parade.

Trumpypants will have the stage all to his ego-maniac self.

The historic Post Office that Trumpypants grifted off of DC
is busy, on July 4th

Princess Ivanka, Jared, Donald Jr, and his girl friend Kimberly
Guilfoyle, will be in the Hamptons.

Princess Ivanka has a spa businness in her Daddy's DC hotel.

Hotel guests can also enjoy a special “Red, White, and Bliss
massage treatment” at the on-site “Spa by Ivanka Trump”.
Fifty minutes will run you $165.

This day is the 200th golf outing for pResident Goon #1 on private property.

A 100 million dollars will be spent on Goon #1, on July 4th.

We just spent a 100 million on the Trump European vacation.

A 100 million as spent on delivering Goon #1 to golf detinations.

July 4th VIP section for high-profile Goon #1 supporters and donors
at the Lincoln Memorial

VIP tickets were provided to the Republican National Committee—
not the Democratic National Committee—that were then offered to
high-dollar GOP donors. Trump’s re-election campaign also got some
tickets to hand out as they saw fit.

900 DC National Guards

900 members, which would be nearly triple the typical 300-person
activation for July Fourth activities in Washington, the official said.

Aircraft 1, Goon #1's newest favorite!

"Perhaps even Aircraft One will do a low & loud sprint
over the crowd," Trump posted on Twitter.

(Air Force One! Another erased tweet.)

The aircraft will be coming from California
(the Navy F-35Cs from Naval Air Station Lemoore),
Kentucky (the Apache helicopters from Fort Campbell), Florida
(the Blue Angels F/A-18s from Naval Air Station Pensacola),
Missouri (the B-2 bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base).

Other aircraft (the F-22s, VC-25, Ospreys, and two of the F/A-18s)
will come from nearby Virginia and Maryland, according to the
Defense official.

Viewers suspicious after National Mall cams mysteriously turned off just before Trump’s rally scheduled to begin

Viewers were suspicious after the live webcam of the National Mall disappeared on Thursday afternoon as President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July rally was scheduled to begin.

According to the website, the camera is run in part by the National Parks Service and the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (NSSGA). It’s unknown if the camera was turned off for security or other reasons, but they have been off for a while.

The internet was quick to devise conspiracy theories about the reasons for it.

White House staff forced to hand out VIP tickets to Trump’s Fourth of July rally to anyone who will take them

Politico reporter Nancy Cook detailed the shocking desperation for White House staff as they struggle to get Washingtonians to attend President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July rally. According to Cook, there’s already an outbreak of “finger-pointing” about the low turnout and the festivities haven’t even begun.

“Now I’ve been hearing even tonight, after I published this story today, that they’re really willing to off-load them to — one White House staffer that I talked to late this afternoon took home 15 tickets and was just going to hand them out to whomever she could tomorrow,” Cook revealed. “And the big concern on the part of the White House and the RNC is whether or not these seats will be filled.”

She reiterated that this event could be another colossal embarrassment, just like Trump’s 2017 inauguration.

Trump thinks all Americans will see his Fourth of July speech — they won’t says ABC, NBC, CBS

President Donald Trump said in the Oval Office this week that he believes all Americans will be reached with his Fourth of July speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial, but it turns out that has been dashed by the networks.

While cable news outlets, other than Fox News, might carry some of it, the huge audiences that the big three networks will miss out.

The “Daily Mail” reported Wednesday that the big three won’t be showing the speech because Jeopardy will be on. Indeed, Jeopardy has become a national treasure with long-running contestants becoming national celebrities for their knowledge and keen buzzer clicking.

National Park Service issues bad news for Trump’s Fourth of July extravaganza

On Thursday afternoon, Shomari Stone of NBC 4 News reported that the National Park Service is forecasting “heavy rain, thunderstorms and strong winds” that could delay or even cancel President Donald Trump’s grand fireworks finale for his Fourth of July National Mall celebration:

Even the Creator is pissed at Trumpski!

Marine Corp band forced to perform in pouring rain before sparse crowd prior to Trump’s July 4th party

In a video posted to Twitter several hours before Donald Trump is scheduled to launch his “Salute to America” Fourth of July party, the Marine Corp band was compelled to perform in the pouring rain before a sparse crowd of early attendees and media awaiting the main event.

According to Jim Spellman of CTGN, the sky opened with a deluge of rain that had people running for cover — only for the military musicians to be paraded out for either a rehearsal or a time-consuming filler until the big show begins.

At least Marines are used to rain and abuse.

The combined hourly cost of the 24 aircraft that performed a flyover
on Thursday is at least $551,000 per hour, according to the Defense
Department comptroller’s hourly reimbursement rates for fiscal year
2019 and The Post’s previous reporting. This does not include the
other unknown costs listed above.

So? What's your point? Do you have one other than it's another vehicle for you to indulge in your Trump Derangement Syndrome? How about the 30 MILLION that got pissed away on the Mueller sham 'investigation'?

A typical ignorant Trumpette assertion. The Mueller investigation will have turned a profit for the government (from seized assets). Look it up--somewhere other than Faux Views, dummy.

"Trump’s efforts to control the rally should be seen in the context of his fear that the crowd will boo him."

-Jonathan Chait

(and ruin the audio on his propaganda session ?)

Trump had “requested that the chiefs for the Army, Navy,
Air Force and Marines stand next to him.”

Get it?

The service chiefs have to stand next to Trump as
human patriotism bodyguards

It appears most of the folks down on the National Mall won’t
be able to get very close to the tanks and military vehicles
down by the Lincoln Memorial.

That area is behind a lot of fencing and security

(accessible to VIP’s and other ticketed guests)

(pic of tall chain link fence stretching across the Reflecting pond.)

For those, that were given a Golden Ticket to Trumpypant's fenced-off
Private July 4th Celebration compound on the National Mall,
-Mal-ania's nipples.

Mal-ania was soaked through to the skin, and that white dress revealed her plastic breasts, and her nipples.

Free show for campaign donors ?

Somehow, the dead cat on Trumpypant's head stayed dry.
