normal-to-low $150-$200 per night. The Glorious Leader Likes Big
Tanks Parade is not drawing in the masses.

Weather, war and protests threaten to rain on Trump's military parade
...
...
In a twist of timing, the long-planned exercises come the day after
the U.S. began providing aid to Israel in shooting down Iranian
missiles and days after Trump deployed National Guard and Marine
troops to southern California to quell protests against immigration
raids.

I hope all the "No Kings" signs are pointed in the direction of
Congress, who has largely abdicated its responsibility to govern,
choosing instead to amplify talking points and generally fellate
Captain Catheter.

We got here because Americans got tired of nothing getting fixed.
Nothing got fixed because our two parties are both deadlocked in a race
for incompetence. Oh, and they're totally bought, each of them, by
competing corporate interests.

Lastly we got here because Americans decided you can handle a democracy
using the same techniques you use when shopping for consumer goods,
apparently the only thing this country is really any good at.

I'm starting to think this presidency was inevitable.

The parade, honoring the Army's long-planned 250th anniversary
celebration and coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, is set to step
off from the Lincoln Memorial under the threat of stormy weather in
Washington and the potential for protests around the country tied to a turbulent week of immigration enforcement that has involved military
deployment in Los Angeles.

Trump has brushed off the possibility of both disruptions, with a
social media post Saturday morning that said the "great military
parade" would be on "rain or shine." The protests, he said earlier,
"will be met with very big force."
