    AccuWeather warns that on Sunday, Washington looks like it will be hit with a “a heavy thunderstorm late in the afternoon,” in which “downpours and lightning could impact the events at the White House.”

    Idk, that sounds like absolutely perfect weather for Donnie to go stand in a large open area under a big hastily built metal thing.

      Could you imagine if he gets struck by lightning? Like literally smitten on live TV. It’s so poetic.

    Evangelicals, when hurricane happens:

    That’s Gawd and holy Jeeeeezus being angry at America for allowing Teh Ghey!

    Evangelicals, if rain were to cancel a DonOLD event -

    Why, that’s just tragic.

            Right, but “pete” is hegseth, who’s a big ol nazi himself, so the bolts are the Nazi SS lightning bolts. The joke is much less fun this way.

    one of my closest friends shares a birthday with the clown.

    I just always feel bad like I have to do something extra nice for my friend to make up for it.

    All day he has to hear about Trump on his birthday. All the parade nonsense last year. Now this.

    He’ll use that as an excuse to stop the whole thing so he can safe face. Oh it wasn’t because he is extremely unpopular, a rapist, and a general PoS— no, it’s cause of the rain. Yep.
