DC's annual 4th of July parade, also on Constitution Avenue, routinely gets large and enthusiastic crowds in much more oppressive weather. People are way more likely to flock to see high school marching bands than tanks.

I really was rooting for storms, but the sight of a fairly small crowd makes for good visuals. Locals heeded the guidance to stay away, and America writ large didn't buy into this thing.

This HAS to be a rock-vs-hard place decision for a lot of Trump fans.

I prefer "stupidification" over "anti-intellectualism."

How many dumbasses really think this guy is Liam Neeson?

This doesn't depict an entire city under siege and burning.

First Amendment don't mean squat to some people.

Seriously, Dems -- stay out of it.

Dear Dems: Just get the popcorn and let Musk and Trump fight it out in public. Don't take sides, especially not Musk's. He's still an asshole.

One Big Beautiful Deficit

IOW, here comes a #TACO moment

Gonna miss these cool, crisp mornings. @capitalweather.bsky.social
