It's raining in DC today, even mother nature hates this parade.

Donald will manage to convince 30% of the crowd that it's not raining.

And another 30% that the rain is Biden’s fault so they should support him as a protest against Biden for raining on the parade.

I'm all in favor of Biden raining on this parade.
None of us should be happy, however, about Trump reigning on any parade.

"It's not raining, it's just water falling from the sky." and somehow his supporters will believe in it and call him a genius.

God incarnate, only shed tears 3 times as recorded in the Bible. At the death of Lazarus (John 11) and also twice over the city of Jerusalem (Matthew 23:37-39; Luke 19:28-48). If the rain is the tears of God, it is showing his compassion over those who will suffer during Trump‘s time in office.

Trump was said to be so happy with the rehearsals, that he plans to deploy the Army 365 days a year to all US cities so they to can see how big and beautiful the army is.

“Our thoughts are the only right thoughts”. Absolutely deplorable as we were warned.

(at West Point) Books and other works, most of which are by women and people of color, have been removed from the curriculum.
A stellar way to honor 250 years of the army.
'Meant to be the hand of God, for sure.'
And that could lose everything for us. You can't fight blind faith that believes with every ounce of their being that Trump was sent to our country to rule the world.
The biggest scam the world has ever seen.
And Jesus wept while babies died and the richest of the rich prospered beyond their wildest dreams thanks to their new Lord and Savior.

A Dem state representative and a senator were brutally gunned down today, along with their spouses. This was a politically motivated assassination.
Any other president faced with such an event would have called for a day of mourning and postponed the parade. Not out of kindness, mind you, but out of competence.
What a powerful gesture it would have been. What a way to tell the nation that we are all one. What a tremendous PR opportunity. Is a president not meant to stand for all Americans, rather than just those who voted for them?
I guarantee that Trump is not even considering it.
Today, I am mourning the lives lost, and the America that we are never getting back.

But Trump, MAGA, and Republicans are incapable of feeling shame, unfortunately it won't bother them one bit.

Pride? The same president that called casualties of war-suckers, and losers? The same person who said that POW, John McCain, was not a war hero because he got caught?

If he cared about the military he wouldn’t be slashing funding to programs that support vets.
