The “Resistance” warned us that if we elected an authoritarian such as Donald Trump, eventually there would be tanks in the streets of our nation’s capital. Well, on Thursday, their predictions finally came true.
I’m kidding, of course, but some on the left are not. Harvard Law professor Laurence H. Tribe tweeted a photo of tanks arriving in Washington for Trump’s “Salute to America” and declared “The resemblance to days before Tiananmen Square is chilling.” At Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989, the Chinese regime broke up pro-democracy protests with tanks and troops in a military action that resulted in a still-uncertain number of deaths that is believed to range between several hundred and several thousand. Totally comparable situation.
Of all the stupid freak-outs we have experienced since Trump was elected, the hyperventilation over his Fourth of July address and celebration on the Mall may be the stupidest.
His critics called his decision to insert himself into the Independence Day celebrations virtually unprecedented. Sorry, but Trump is not the first U.S. president to give a major speech on the Fourth of July. Harry S. Truman once delivered an Independence Day address in front of the Washington monument. Presidents Woodrow Wilson, John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush all gave Fourth of July addresses from Independence Hall in Philadelphia. And, in 1986, Ronald Reagan delivered a Fourth of July address from the deck of an aircraft carrier, the USS John F. Kennedy, strategically placed in front of the Statue of Liberty.
Trump’s address took this tradition to new heights on Thursday. Democrats complained before the speech that Trump was politicizing the Fourth of July. He did nothing of the sort. In a speech reminiscent of his outstanding remarks last month at Normandy, ...

Un-Build that Pay Wall!
Not just lefties. Have you checked out Bill Kristol’s hate-filled tweets the past couple of days?
LOL!!
They really are drama Queens, aren’t they? Very sad spectacle. Pays the bills I guess.
Tribe is senile.
What makes you think Bill isn’t a leftist?
That’s because they ARE SMALL.
Petty, vindictive, little COMMUNIST WEASELS.
There is no comparison. Anyone who does make a comparison is an ignorant fool.
Did anyone noticed who published this article? This might just turn out to an historic event - A First and, in all likelihood, A Last.
I got sidetracked the other night about Tiananmen Square (I can’t believe it has been 30 years!!??) One website said deaths just in Bejing were estimated at 10,000 or more. With perhaps 10,000 more in other places around China.
In a place like China, we’ll never know I guess.
After watching Leftist Democrat Federal judges rule the country from the bench for the last three years, if you’re OK with a Democrat being appointed as a judge to the Federal courts, you’re a Democrat and a Leftist.
Working against President Trump to restore to the Democrats the power to appoint Federal judges is something Bill Kristol is actively doing.
That makes Bill Kristol a Democrat and a Leftist.
I don’t believe that President Trump uses the word “I” much - unless he’s using it to yank the Democrats’ chains...
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Awesome post!
The scum.
I swear I could hear leftist heads exploding when the Army Chorus rendered the final verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
“His critics called his decision to insert himself into the Independence Day celebrations virtually unprecedented.”
Since we have created successive generations of historical ignoramuses, it has become an established and successful practice of the media, and many politicians, to proclaim that the customary and traditional is “dangerously nprecedented”, and that the latest manifestation of progressive insanity is “the way America has always done it.”
Lawrence Tribe, Head of Capos for Communism!
He probably will be shot at sunrise.
