Trump's Mt. Rushmore Event ... CRAMMIN' 'EM IN LIKE SARDINES

This is what a coronavirus spread looks like in its preliminary stages ... chairs crammed into the same area together, inches apart, and that's exactly what's in store for the folks who will be celebrating Friday night with Donald Trump.

The site is Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota, where the Governor has proudly proclaimed there will be NO social distancing at tonight's event.

I am moving my celebration and observance of independence up to the day of the General Election.

Trump smells like steaming hot tyranny in a loaded diaper and we need another declaration of independence before he shoots it all to Hell.

Plus, having a celebration like that with the current catastrophe of widespread sickness, death, joblessness, homelessness, etc. does not seem appropriate this year to me. It is more like a time of mourning and reflection and regrouping.

I want the protesters safe..that said, while I generally don't wish this plague on anyone other than Trump, Pence, Mitch, Susan, Gym, Doug, Kevin, Ted, Mario, the Trump spawn...you get the picture..those hate-filled sychophants that thrive on Donnie"s Nazi rallies deserve what they get 2-14 days from the 4th...and the bitch in me wants suffering...

I don't want anyone to suffer, but I want them all to suffer.

Horrible position to be in.

I am just waiting for Trump to get it so that the suffering goes where it belongs.

It doesn’t look like the seating section is covered. And the high today is 88 degrees so they’ll be stinky and sweaty, too.

when the spewing starts. The sun would be in their eyes until the sun goes behind the mountain. And then it will be late by the time it's dark enough for fireworks. Up this far north the sunset is around 9pm. local time right now.
