Yeah, still trying to get over the Revolutionary War airports thing. The most ridiculously ignorant world leader ever? Yeah, sure there must have been some syphilitic sots with lead poisoning but wow.

What a great celebration. I’m in tears and proud. Being a Navy Brat, I’m honestly overwhelmed with gratitude and pride. Thanking my President @realDonaldTrump for renewing the Patriotic Spirit in a Society That seemed to have forgotten the sacrifice of so many for our freedom!

Thanks Ari!

@AriFleischer
I don’t care what your politics are, this tribute to our military on America’s Independence Day is beautiful and inspiring.



Thank you Marc!

@marcthiessen
This is a great speech. All those making a fuss about it look increasingly ridiculous with each passing minute. https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/1146899933498433539 …



Tammy is a great person!

@HeyTammyBruce
Excited to alert you to a new episode of “Get Tammy Bruce” now available at #FoxNation, wherein I discuss the violence of the Antifa mob and how it benefits from malevolent Democratic leadership rhetoric. Would be honored for you to join us https://nation.foxnews.com/get-tammy-bruce/ …

Wow! Rousing great speech, great air show, great bands! The great pilots, the great timing of the speech with the fly-overs. We are all so blessed to be Americans! Happy Independence Day everybody! #IndependenceDay #July4th
 
Too bad for Dershowitz that he tanked his reputation to the level of Wolff a while ago.
So I'll do the safe thing and believe neither one.

Would be fun if they sued each other, though.

The USA is a horror show in so many ways these days but the treatment of the detained migrants is the worst thing going on there right now. It is a major failure of morals for the entire country. There is no moral or political will in the country to rectify the horrible abuses. The only difference between the current US concentration camps and the German concentration camps of the 1940’s is that the US is not (yet) actively killing their prisoners. For all those since 1945 who have asked “how could the German people let this happen?” your answer is to look at the USA in 2019. There are no differences. The answer is APATHY.

I don't think this is entirely fair because there is a real, reasonably successful opposition to Trump and his henchmen. There are courts blocking his efforts to hold children this way. There are lawyers working on their behalf and one house of Congress working in active opposition checking him where they can. In 2018 the electorate rejected Trump and his brand of treason by removing his party from that house. Yes it's bad here, but it's not Germany in the 30s bad yet.
 
FWIW, I can report that Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln all refused to show their faces at Mount Rushmore last night during the 4th celebrations. Some may say that it was due to heavy fog, but I think we all know the real reason.

If I understand correctly (from a skimmed WaPo article), the tanks were available to the public, but not the Bradleys.

Not good, of course. Spending US money to fete political donors is a damned shame, but at least the tanks were accessible to the public.
 
While I found the use of military hardware to be inappropriate I feel like it's being made out to be more unique and "out there" then it is.

I mean... y'all remember that the Brits parked in goddamn aircraft carrier in the Thames for the Olympics right? And that Trump got this entire cockamamie idea after watching a military parade in the warlike, militaristic nation of... France. And... like every Super Bowl has Blue Angels fly-over.

I mean it's not like they were parading nuclear missile trucks down Pennsylvania Ave like it's Red Square.

"Le's show off the shiny shiny shootey shooteys" isn't the some unheard of territory.

There are plenty of people - most Democrats, I suspect - that are not apathetic. It's just that there are enough apathetic folks in states with Republicans Senators such that impeachment doesn't happen. Once those folks turn, so will Republican Senators, and then things will change.

Apathy or not, the Republicans cannot give up on Trump. Not yet. They are heading to their own re-election campaigns in 2020. They need the Trump supporters for their own survival, whether Trump wins or not.
They could change once some "real" dirt comes out. Like with Nixon, it was quick at the end.
The real in not the same real as in Nixon times. We have trouble with fake and real now.

Actually, I think they missed the boat on this one. Trump obviously wanted something that looked like this, but ended up just half-assing it, so what we got was to watch a buffoon try to stand at attention while a couple of Ospreys flew by. Even my mother was remarking on how bad the presentation was.

And the camera work was atrocious. He kept pointing out people who were supposed to be there that day, but they never showed those people on camera. He might as well have been praising Mr. Snuffleupagus or Polkeroo.
