Sources tell MeidasTouch the White House will shut down portions of the I-5 for Vice President JD Vance’s Marine Corps spectacle during No Kings Protests, triggering chaos, gridlock, and outrage as troops go unpaid during the shutdown.

MeidasTouch has learned from several sources that the White House has plans to close major sections of Interstate 5 for this Friday and Saturday.

The Trump administration is apparently finalizing plans for two days of events under the pretext of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps. Sources close to MeidasTouch describe the closure as part of a “vanity parade” that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force.”

Local officials say the event was announced with scant notice, no coordination, and zero transparency.

3. Launch missiles into Camp Pendleton?

????

5. They have training areas for artillery, so I guess they have some areas set aside for aiming

missiles from our own warships, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet.

7. One can only hope that Vance ...

4. Why do these fascists want to attack their own military base? Live missles go boom.

Omg. I. Just. Can't.

8. You must remember that Trump and co are certifiably insane.

So there is no why for sane people.

10. shame they don't have the range to reach Margo Shithole

11. As I recall, growing up in southern CA, Fort Pendleton is a large area

and mostly arid chaparral vegetation which has highly flammable resins. Trump hates all of us, but he REALLY hated California and wants to burn it down since all the 'violent protesters' in his mind aren't doing it for him.

Maybe some stalwart fire control crews off the coast of FL will just treat Mar a Largo to a 'navy parade'.

12. All us in yellow meeting up in Florida/Texas detention camps?

[Bayard]

13. So he's trying to start more wildfires?

Then he won't send FEMA or any other assistance.

What can you even say about this lunatic anymore?
