Is the Mt Rushmore event an official election campaign rally for Trump or is it an Independence Day celebration hosted by Trump? I watched a news report where they scanned the area and there were "Trump" shops with his MAGA hats etc. Apparently, up until this event there have been fire bans. It will be interesting what the fire works display will bring.

(86,612 posts)about 200 Indians were and are still protesting. They have the road blocked and it's in the 90s. Reminds me of a song but I digress... Riot gear, shot off few pepper bullets at peaceful Indians, who are reminding the militia for the king that it's they should remember their oath to uphold the Constitution.
You can tell the tactics of the people with the guns is that they are like dogs being held back with a chain, they are dressed to kill and that's what they look like they want to do.
Also looks like a thunderstorm or two could roil up real quick as the day grows long, you know the routine. A divinely placed bolt of lightning or two would be interesting.
Thing is, the Indians are starting to back off as none of them want to get hurt and the dogs are getting anxious standing there in all that full armor in the sun at 90F+. The back off was starting when I dropped out but it made me think that perhaps there will be some other after dark activity.

The protest is said to have delayed things by at least an hour so far.
It would be funny if Banners unfurled from the heads of the figures!

(4,139 posts)Trump seems to have no problem mixing his appearances as president with his campaign and there does not seem to be anybody or anything to stop him. It goes without sayin that a military band should not appear at a campaign event.
