I guess you’ve heard that, on top of his destruction of the Reflecting Pool (which he says is in great shape) and the debacle of the Great American State Fair (which he says is a huge success) Tubby plans to blow up about ten times as many fireworks as usual in DC on the 4th and have hours of flyovers, so with the continuing National Guard occupation it’ll be even more like a war zone than usual. For the first time I’m not sorry I moved away.
The photo above is from the 4th of July on the Mall in 2021, when the country had not gone mad -- or rather had briefly gone mad but temporarily come to its senses. People came and went freely then and had a good time. This year the site will be heavily restricted and you’ll have to get there by 6 pm in 100 degree heat well before the gargantuan display of noise and smoke, after which I expect ICE to sweep in among the chaos and bust heads. I don’t think Trump voters realized that fascism’s not so much fun when its brutal stupidity is aimed at you as well as at the people you hate.
Well, honor the Declaration as best you can, far from the madness. And enjoy a couple of free ROY EDROSO BREAKS IT DOWN editions! First, there’s our favorite mainstream media politics show, Received Opinion with Bolt Upright, tackling the narrow escape of SCOTUS’ birthright citizenship ruling. When we get back in there, we oughta pack the Court so they have to hear cases in a mid-sized concert venue at least. And second, here’s one about the New Red Scare that not only conservatives but also watered-down liberals are ginning up now that voters are nominating and electing socialists instead of Better Things Are Not Possible Democratic gerontocrats, feebs, and shills. Keep panicking, guys, I want to get as much enjoyment out of this as possible. It's what Tom Paine would have wanted!
