(8,107 posts)Would like to point out that Trump's 'USMC birthday celebration' missile attack on California/I-5 was just another trumpian tantrum about No Kings Day, and a flat out lie
The USMC was officially founded, and it's 'birthday' is celebrated, on NOVEMBER 10. Easy for me to remember because an old school pal shares that birthday.
Seem to recall the criminal administration originally said it was going use a Navy ship* to shoot at CA to 'celebrate the Navy's birthday'. Guess some genius trump toady pointed out the USN's birthday was Oct 13, not the 18th, so they switched to the lesser known anniversary for the USMC as an excuse to let Trump be generalissimo as a distraction from No Kings Day.
Distraction failure. We the People did our thing; it was HUGE, peaceful, and well covered by the media. Also, we still remember that Trump has not fulfilled his campaign pledge to release the Epstein files. We are well aware that the taxpayers of AZ 7 are STILL without representation in the US House of Representatives because bully trump knows he is in the Epstein files and is hounding the Speaker to keep that 218th vote to from happening.
Unlike some people, those of us who actually pay attention and care about this democracy, and are willing to stand and defend it, can hold more than a single thought, a single marketing ploy de jour, in our heads at the same time. We will not be turned away from reality.
* The US Navy has an island or two off the California coast, safely away from civilians and infrastructure, that they use for firing practice. One would think the Sec of DEFENSE would know that and let the bogus POTUS know his scam was easily exposed.
