fuck the fireworks

at mt Rushmore. Do we really want a raging wildfire over tourists being disappointed? Who are these people? They'll be putting firefighters' lives in danger if it sparks a fire.

I'm enraged hearing this on the news.

Noem is politicizing it as not "loving America" can she be sued if there's a fire?

I'm done.

I get it. Some people love fireworks. I did as a kid, but they were over the ocean.

On tv, locals were worried no one would come next yr wo FW not going off.

There's a larger safety issue at play here, imo

Rushmore due to the fire hazard. But the dumb ass needed a photo op for the campaign, so to hell with that. I don’t think he even ordered the raking of the forests.

I really don't understand how making the sound of bombs and explosions and starting fires expresses your love of your country. Shouldn't it be the opposite???? plant a tree, that expresses your love of your country. Name the tree for a state or a soldier who died for you. Express your love of people who fought to keep this country free by allowing them to sleep at night. Booms started in my neighborhood at 1am and some at 2 am.

"Let me send a chunk of my disaster response force to another state as I'm getting ready to start a major prairie/brush/forest fire in a selfish show of faux patriotism."

Idiot.
