      A rainbow appearing in the sky over Dublin on the day that Ireland voted to legalize same-sex marriage? A tornado destroying the house of Rep. Joe Harding, who authored the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida?

      I don’t know how much clearer He can get!

      The mistake you are making is assuming religious people are capable of logic, reasoning, or changing their minds. God himself could appear and tell them they are wrong and they wouldn’t believe it, because their existing beliefs are a forgone conclusion. They did not arrive at them by reason or logic and they will not be moved by reason or logic.

    Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

    “celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military…” Fuck off. Trump doesn’t give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

      To be fair they stated they didn’t want to have an audience out in lightning.

      Whatever the case, calling off such festivities is what I’d like to happen anyway. His stupid birthday parade not happening would be a good outcome.

        In his mind he’s probably worried that the low turnout would be bad press for him.

        You know, rather than concern for the safety of the attendees.

    Yeah right. Probably cancelling it because he doesn’t want people to show up and ruin his dick-tator moment by protesting.

        National Guard, Protesters, Police, with the chance that the NG lays their arms down or side with the protesters?

          When he finally dies, they’re gonna have to use an acetylene torch to cut the diaper(s) off (my understanding is that it became too difficult to peel the soiled diapers off so they started just stacking them on top). They’ll have to count the layers to determine how long they’ve been like that.
