Just got home from the movies. Heard about the caused chaos on the National Mall caused by weather and the administration's ineptness.

trump's speech has been delayed. Tentatively scheduled for 11 p.m.
Fireworks presumably will follow the speech.
Rain has now stopped.

Oh can you see, the irony and the shamelessness.

The theme of trump's speech seems to be to thrown in the word "Communist" every minute. That's their campaign strategy for November.

Other themes - militarism, jingoism, Christianity, voter ID, demonization of everyone non-MAGA, ...

America sounds like a very violent country in the speech.

Very low energy crowd; probably few in number and tired and bored.

The Third Red Scare is ramping up.

trump is now twisting the words in the Declaration of Independence to sow fear across the nation..

He spent a lot of time last Friday as well at Mount Rushmore demonizing imaginary communists.

We can expect this theme to continue until the November elections and beyond from trump and the right-wing noise machine.
