"thunderstorms" = trump's ego can't handle all of the protests and no one showing up to his North Korea parade.

The Pope is giving a virtual address in his hometown of Chicago at the same time as the parade. I don't doubt the Pope will get bigger numbers.

trump hates when someone upstages him at the same time.

I have caught on by now that I clearly live in a satire universe constructed to mirror a perfectly plausible dystopia but in ways that make it seem like there absolutely must be a trickster god of this simulation who expresses all the violence, suffering and brutal incongruities of a less artistic reality in absolutely painful amounts of sarcasm within the simulation I inhabit. There is too much deus ex machina for it to be coincidences... but the dues ex machina never seems to be employed to stop the shockingly evil people, rather it seems to be utterly and monomanically focused on making sure the punchline of the the joke hits with style which just feels a bit distasteful if you ask me even if we are all simulated beings (still beings technically, what does it matter?) but that is a seperate tangent...

I only ask that the poetry be a bit better concealed than this? It is disorienting like one is being spun around like a top by the entire universe.

Gee, I wonder if there was a certain agency he's defunding that could've forseen such circumstances

A chance of showers before 2pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 2pm and 5pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming north around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

That doesn't sound too bad, especially since he'll likely be under a cover of some kind. I wonder if something else is up.

Just seven of 50 surveyed GOP lawmakers are planning to actually attend the president’s birthday festivities over the weekend, reported Politico. Source

Ah, Mr Thin-Skin strikes again ....

Should send an email to his friends. “Come to DC. It’s gonna be wild!”

I'm sure all the money that's already been spent won't just go into anyone's pockets.

[–] xylol@leminal.space 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If its been spent isn't it already in the pockets?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 1 points 19 hours ago

Yes, money is exchanged for goods and services.

If the event is called off, nothing is provided, so it’s just someone’s free money.

Dude is literally getting his parade rained on. I think even God is sending us signs

[–] Zier@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

Someone please text Mother Nature and thank her. Also, ask if she can make it rain really hard all day.
