What could possibly go wrong?

We can never see the fireworks here because they are always rained out. Every damn year. What the hell was he thinking?

When I heard about this I said to my husband that this would happen. Storms come in off the Gulf every afternoon/evening in the summer. And as for what could go wrong, see Led Zepplin + Tampa Stadium. I wasn't there, I'm happy to say. It was a mess, according to my friends who were:

just when they were certain it would surely smite them. The clouds parted, bolts of lightning flashed and a massive hand thrust down from above to point a finger at the cowering MAGAfolk and thunder "THOU PISSETH ME OFF!"

We have had rain most of the day and I was hoping it was raining down in Sarasota. My prayers were answered.

It's been raining every afternoon/evening for a month. What kind of idiot would schedule an outdoor event in July in Florida. If it wasn't raining it'd be 95 degrees with 85% humidity. MAGAts would be dropping like flies.

I'd be willing to bet that if the rain stops before he comes out, some will think it's divine intervention.

not a bright bunch, really.

Future historians will write up as MAGAts as an extinct, low intelligence branch of the human race.

If it was an outdoor event, they should've scheduled it for the morning. Thunderstorms don't start bubbling up until the afternoon. Another dumbass move.

Still, I'd rather have him drone on and on and on about how horribly abused he's been. I like seeing people get disgusted and go home to their AC, TV, and freezer full of ice cream.

In any case, it doesn't look like much of a crowd.

a tribute to his North Korean inamorato?

Guess they misplaced their loop of Ted Nugent albums?
