This is making me happy

Reports saying bad weather coming for Trump's parade, and even if it still goes on, there won't be a crowd making it look even more N. Korean-esque, and it's at best sharing headlines with all the No Kings protests if not being totally dominated.

Now how fast will Trump claim it was the biggest and best parade ever, and when will Marjorie claim Jews made it storm with their space laser?

And our soldiers used for Trump's ego no matter what. I feel sorry for the troops getting rained on, but it's one of those things where the overall outcome will be nominally good because it will be bad for Trump, and right now, that's a win.

That was happening no matter what, but now we're getting Trump having his day ruined.
