Just seven of 50 surveyed GOP lawmakers are planning to actually attend the president’s birthday festivities over the weekend, reported Politico. […] Those sticking around include some of Trump’s most stalwart MAGA supporters: Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (who told Politico “of course” she’d be there), Byron Donalds, and Elise Stefanik are all planning to celebrate. Representatives Cory Mills, Rich McCormick, John McGuire, and Lisa McClain are also expected to be in attendance.

    We should all just boycott the parade. Don’t go, don’t watch it, don’t talk about it.

    That would be the worst outcome for the Narcissist in Chief

      I don’t know mate. Standing in front of a tank and shutting down down Fat Boy Hitler’s farcical thuper duper birthday parade would be one for the history books. There’s not a farts chance in a hurricane that this doesn’t go down as a comical clusterfuck.

      This whole parade is getting shut down, I promise you.

        Major news outlets will not cover the protests. They will happily film the parade though. They will put forth an air of cautious optimism to endear dear leader to their outlet. The only way this gets any MAJOR public attention is if people stop the parade. It will be stopped, there will be a LOT of police action, which will prompt riots, which will prompt more attention. Trump may use it to enact martial law, but he’ll do so at his own detriment. It will not look well at all, but the cancellation of his parade, plus the chaos that will be martial law will only spark more civil discourse throughout the nation.

        It’s about to get hairy, folks.

      Well that would be nice if everyone was on board. But even if the people that hate him don’t turn up, the people that love him will. That would be enough for him.
