This evacuation was a disaster and took over an hour. There is no structure or order outside the venue, even as people crowd and try to line back up. People are upset and saying they’re going home. No matter what happens now, today is ruined for a lot of families who came here. https://t.co/JO8EQe6Qvx

The scene outside the security perimeter — if US Secret Service were to try to establish the mags & security perimeter again in scenario that Trump still wants to speak (he hasn’t canceled), you’re looking at several hours to process everyone again. pic.twitter.com/jxqrlbFtbc

President Trump tells Fox that he will be going forward with his speech no matter what:

Maybe it will be a little bit shorter but I am going to do it whether it's 10 PM, 11PM, or even 2AM… If they can storm the beaches on d-day, I can deliver a speech pic.twitter.com/cKx8iRxj7l

REPORT: Trump’s “Freedom 250” July 4 is in utter chaos right now.
Severe weather rolled in tonight and NPS ordered a full evacuation. MAGA is absolutely furious.
National Guard troops were filmed flipping over picnic tables trying to clear the grounds. Some families gave up and went home furious. Others screamed at Secret Service service and other federal officials.
Trump told Fox he’s doing his speech no matter what, “whether it’s 10 PM, 11 PM, or even 2AM,” because “if they can storm the beaches on D-Day, I can deliver a speech.”
Except D-Day was delayed a full 24 hours because of bad weather. Eisenhower waited it out. Trump’s own comparison proves the exact opposite point he’s trying to make.
If you are in the area, remember to exercise extreme caution.

JUST IN: After heat and storms forced evacuations, Trump is now urging supporters to stay anyway, saying he doesn’t care if his speech starts at 2 a.m. and insisting, “I’m not going to let some rain stop our 250th.” He now says the speech is expected around 11 p.m. and vows to… pic.twitter.com/RlsNvu6mA9

JUST IN: After heat and storms forced evacuations, Trump is now urging supporters to stay anyway, saying he doesn’t care if his speech starts at 2 a.m. and insisting, “I’m not going to let some rain stop our 250th.” He now says the speech is expected around 11 p.m. and vows to attend “no matter what” even if it’s “2:00 O’Clock in the morning.”If the security perimeter has been compromised, it may be 2:00 AM before Trump can speak. 😈
Trump is actively urging his supporters to remain in danger.

Trump is telling his supporters to sacrifice their lives for him, comparing them to U.S. troops during D-Day

I think its time for us to all conclude that the roughly third of those still polling as being with Trump are an emergency for justice and equality and we should all realize that everything we do from now on will have to be in strong, vigorous and effective opposition to them. And that won't easy because they've got the billionaires and millionaires whose patsies they are. No more namby-pamby moderation or willfully stupid libertarian liberalism is going to do it.
ReplyDeleteAs this and so much else about them shows, e.g. their gun nuttery and opposition to universal health care, disempowering them will be ultimately to their own good.
