"Cancelled" would be great! The ultimate Fuck You from whatever God(s) exist.

But, does anyone truly believe Little Donnie Mangolini will let it go that easily??? Something he's yearned for since Season 1??

Methinks "rescheduled" is a more likely outcome. 🤷‍♂️

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I'm split. On one hand, thunderstorms in DC in the summer are so obvious and predictable that anyone doing any kind of organizing for an outdoor event would have considered them months in advance and would have contingencies. So "cancelled due to thunderstorms" is obviously a cover for "we're getting too much pushbacka and don't want to embarrass ourselves."

Otoh, not realizing that there is a thunderstorm pretty much every single day in DC in the summer is exactly the level of competence I expect from the Trump admin.

Don't even think that. He'd expose people to lightning before cancelling

I don’t know. He refused to go to D-Day 50th anniversary memorial ceremony because it was raining and he didn’t want to get wet. I guess it wasn’t his ego on the line, then, and I’m sure the Secret Service is insisting on a covered viewing area, anyway, after the near-miss in Buttler, PA.

Trump is a witch confirmed.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

God is angry. Trump fears being struck by lightning.

The fact that the military's birthday keeps getting called 'Trump's birthday' shows how far we are sliding into fascism.

[–] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 16 points 1 day ago

Coincidentally, it is both his birthday and the US army’s “birthday.” Both arrived on June 14th, one in 1775 and the other in 1946.

We can only hope. Let's dust off that old HAARP and see if we can make it happen! /s

Perhaps he could order Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport the weather.

Thoughts and prayers

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because what, the weather would pose a threat to the wellbeing of the soldiers?

Trump doesn't care about that.

Every soldier should be given a sick chit for bonespurs that day.

Hey, evangelicals, remember how when anything bad happened, it was because God was sad that we weren't murdering gay people? So does this mean that God hates Trump?

Yes. Why do you think Pestilence was sent during the first term?
