The most patriotic thing you can do is to stand for the supposed ideals of this country and shun this classless wannabe dictator in favor of celebrating in your own community.

Staying out in 100 plus degrees in a crowd for hours with no coolers or shade? No

Subject to false arrest. Potential for getting injured in fake assassination attempts. Food poisoning, Falling stage props. Looks as though the money raised for a real 250 Celebration was misdirected to some Trump related political committee, so anything built there may be falling apart.

It is the Satanic State Fair of Donald J Trump and his angry band of deviant grifters.Visitors beware. Be Woke.

It’s 100 degrees with about 50% humidity in Fairfax, VA right now. It’s uncomfortable even with the AC on. I can’t imagine what it must feel like on the Mall. And it’s not going to get any better. Unless Trump comes through with unlimited water bottles and misting stations - which I doubt - they’re going to be dropping like flies.

Just ‘cause we have an effing a$$hole for a president - who has totally ruined our national celebration - doesn’t mean we have to forgo celebrating our country’s 250th birthday.

Not even the potential promise of a certain meltable, overweight elderly person threatening a two hour speech in 107 degree weather and the circus of unfortunate but fortunate events that might bring about is enough to tempt me if I was stuck in the DC area.

Even if they offer free locally made Mexican Ice Cream.
1. I hate crowds and 2. I know better than to be near an event a high risk of catastrophe and potential arrests.
