3. Typical that he would celebrate Independence Day

by visiting a monument that was carved into land considered sacred to the Lakota.

His base should love this show of insensitivity

I hope it storms.

6. Social distancing is dead

The fuse was lit Memorial Day weekend and the bomb went off this week. People aren't going to comply any more. Whatever happens happens.

It varies a lot from place to place.
