(10,944 posts)That is really damn hot and not what I would characterize as "much cooler". The forecasted high for the day is 101.

No coolers or folding chairs | Here's what you can't bring to 4th of July fireworks at the Washington Monument
Drink tumblers, skateboards, balls and frisbees are also prohibited from the Fourth of July fireworks celebration at the Washington Monument.

(6,056 posts)Political cartoons do not have to be factually accurate because they are legally protected forms of opinion, satire, and rhetorical hyperbole. They use intentional exaggeration, distortion, and metaphor rather than literal truth to deliver a critique.

(28,901 posts)I don't want him to die on the Fourth, besmirching our national birthday with his passing. His cult will use it to turn him into a "martyr," for lack of a better word. They'll see it as a sign from heaven of his "greatness," and make him into a demigod. I don't want them to have that, so no, I don't want him to die on the Fourth.
I'll take the Fifth, however.....!

(4,296 posts)He's in poor health and might die before his reputation is sufficiently ruiined. We only turn this thing around if Republicans turn against him. That doesn't happen if he is made saint.
There is the remote possiblility that once he can't threatened people's careers (because he is dead) or rally MAGA's to make death threats, that Republicans will come out of the woodwork to oppose his takover of democracy. But I wouldn't count on it.
It's stunning how early in Hitler's reign his generals were trying to murder him. There really was no other way to oppose Hitler. We still have freedom of the press and maybe a democracy (the midterms will tell) but Republicans in office pretty much aren't free to oppose Trump without losing their jobs, and having their lives and families threatened.
Had early Hitler assassination attempts succeeded, it might have save millions of lives. Or he might have been made a martyr.
