All this talk about no access is just silly.

IF you have high speed internet but believe or not, not all the world has.


I'm on satellite where during the daylight, it's $75/month for 5Gs of download. At night, from 2 am to 8 am, the download limit is 50G.

WOW, I didn't know our army was so advanced during the Revolutionary War that it manned the air and took over airports!

Or is it a sign that Trump is getting too old to be president?
You, of course, could stand there in front of millions of viewers and speak that eloquently for that long and not make a single mistake. Why haven't you thrown your hat in the ring for 2020? America needs perfect people like you.

Seriously, you and all of the other jealous haters know full well that that was nothing more than a misspeak and that the President is very aware that there weren't airports in the 1770s, it just makes you look desperate to find something to pick apart about his otherwise amazing speech. That reflects on you much more than on him.

My takeaway from this is things went well for Trump yesterday. And I say this as a independent who did not vote for Trump or Hillary.

If the best the left can do is push the talking point that Trump may have said airports instead of our ports (which sound almost the same) Trump won yesterday.

Same when the right would parse words that Obama said. I would always thing, wow this is the best you can do?
That’s an obvious point. A serious mistake the Leftists always make is to Double Down on absurdity.

Breaking News !!! Headlines in all the Media that refused to air the 4th of July Salute to America.
1,000’s of people on the Capital Mall to hear the President of the United States address the Nation in a 47 minute Speech in the rain.

He stumbled over ONE word while coordinationing the Speech with Introductions of Patriotic Americans an Military Flyovers.

The worst thing to ever happen in our History .... he must be Impeached!
Orange Man Bad said “airport” instead of “port”. (Maybe)

That’s just silly.

It was live-streamed on the websites of the various local news outlets in my area.
And the one I watch regularly announced that it would be available multiple times during their regular broadcast.

If people think critically, it would occur that the time differences around the country would present all sorts of issues but better to chalk it up to some sort of conspiracy, I guess.

Good point.
The networks don’t cover every single campaign rally live. No reason they should have covered this one.

I know this is true because you used all-caps for part of it. If you and Trump start mixing in a few rhymes, the Democrats don't stand a chance in 2020.

What are you talking about?

The Capitol Fourth celebration has taken place every year for decades.
It always has a great turnout and would have had this year as well without Trump’s presence.

Why can’t people fathom that?

It was good optics for Trump and smart to insert himself into the celebration. And people who really hate him (unlike those like myself who simply do not care for him) seem to be fuming over this fact.

You look much better either saying nothing or at least acknowledge the day went well. Trying to turn it into a negative hints at desperation.
