America's 250th birthday celebration is already lighting up the sky.

A stunning air show featuring 2,500 drones transformed the night over North Richland Hills, Texas, with massive images of a rocket, a bald eagle, and George Washington.

The patriotic display, created by Sky Elements Drone Shows, gave local families an early look at the celebrations leading up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

It’s 10 minutes to midnight in Alaska. No fireworks going off yet.

I watched a little bit of the Mt. Rushmore event last night on Youtube through the NY Post. The comments were almost all negative against Trump with even some saying they hope his plane crashes. I couldn’t help but wonder how miserable and meaningless someone’s life must be to spend Friday night, the day before Independence Day, making disgusting comments while watching something you hate. It doesn’t make sense. These people are seriously deranged.

NY Post said they “hope Trump's plane crashes” huh?
You got a link?
I'll bet that never happened.
I know the NY Post, having read it for decades.
They'll never advocate for Trump's plane to crash.
So you wanna withdraw your fake story now?

The comments under the YouTube live stream is what the poster referenced … not the NY Post itself. Comments under a YouTube are often garbage and full of hatred.

Comments from far left lunatics?
Who cares about that?
They are not from NY Post which is what he said in his post.

I hate to call a fellow Freeper stupid, but damn, man, this is what I said:

“The comments were almost all negative against Trump with even some saying they hope his plane crashes.”

I said the comments on Youtube. I never said the NY Post said that. Maybe brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Will you apologize for your insult about me posting a fake news in a comment? I doubt it. In true FR tradition you’ll probably double down.

We are about to get storms for the rest of the night, so I’m pretty sure our local fireworks festivities will be rained out/canceled. Does anyone know of a link to the ones that will happen in DC, or even other areas? TIA.

“The comments under the YouTube live stream is what the poster referenced … not the NY Post itself. Comments under a YouTube are often garbage and full of hatred.”

Thanks. It was obvious what I was referring to but some people just, I don’t know, see what they want to see in a comment, make personal insults, and start a fight about it. Then instead of admitting their mistake, they double down, just as I predicted, with comments like this:

“Comments from far left lunatics?
Who cares about that?
They are not from NY Post which is what he said in his post.”

It happens pretty often on FR and it’s kind of mind boggling.

Now why would I double down?
Read your post again and yes you did say it was from the comments not from NY Post itself.

I could type a paragraph explanation but I won’t because you’re just too stupid to comprehend it and it would be a total waste of time.

Please so.
I'm genuinely curios.

Okay, I’ll bite. But first, please point out the part in my comment where I said the NY Post said anything:

“I watched a little bit of the Mt. Rushmore event last night on Youtube through the NY Post. The comments were almost all negative against Trump with even some saying they hope his plane crashes.”

Any intelligent person would know I was referring to the comments of viewers on Youtube, not the NY Post. It’s really that simple.

You said that already and I acknowledged that in my post 15, so why repeat yourself again?

I’ve got to admit I mis-read your post. So, I will apologize.
