    You didn't get the memo???? If you are part of a looting, burning Marxist mob , it's okay. It's only BAD when you are a law abiding group who supports Trump.

    "Among those deeply concerned is Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, who doesn't have the right to shut down the holiday spectacle because it's on federal land, but warned the federal government about the obvious dangers of such a large crowd.

    Bowser said she had briefly read through the Interior Department's statement on the July Fourth plans and believed they were not consistent with established health guidelines.

    “We know this is a special event for the Department of Interior. We’ve communicated to them that we do not think this is in keeping with the best CDC and Department of Health guidance. But this event will take place entirely on federal property,” Bowser said."

    "Interior officials planned to have 300,000 face coverings on hand to give away at the National Mall. "

    DT plans huge July 4 fireworks show despite DC's concerns

    If people are smart, the Interior Department will be left with a lot of those masks on July 5th, because people just stayed away. Worst case would be they show up and decline the masks.

    This is not as bad as the indoor rally, but it is still not the best idea.

    Hopefully the viewing areas will be large enough to accommodate smart crowds who wear masks and have plenty of room to stay away from one another. Crowd size control would be a good idea.

    A lot of people normally view the fireworks in DC from boats on the Potomac River. That seems like a far safer way to view as long as the boats only contain families which normally reside together.

    Rain chances for DC on Saturday night are 50/50.

    Most will be watching it on TV, the safest way.
    Any guesses if every firefighter in SD has to work on the Fourth of July to put out fires in the surrounding area?

    All of those attending, especially those without masks or maintaining social distancing, are Trump supporters. Consider it a win if they don't burn down forest.

    It depends on your definition of "spontaneous". A "flash mob" is organized through social media, but it's also "spontaneous. It's not like George Soros and the Jewish Star Chamber are issuing global orders via Facebook or Snapchat.

    Another thing that is ill-advised is firework display because of the dry trees that were killed by beetles.

    No worries. Plenty of other people think I am funny and the meme is being retweeted and liked. No doubt by happy, sane Americans not locked up on a facility like you, sir.

    Well, they certainly were needed when unruly Marxist left leaning mobs protested over a FALSE narrative. You seemed okay with that.

    Only the equally stupid ones. For anyone with half a brain, you're a smug, boorish dumbass with zero self awareness and a high self opinion.
