Always are.

I didn’t watch .... was out by the pool drinking with family.

But PBS in Boston right?

It’s tradition.

Democrats probably even hated the fireworks.

Go search Twitter, I bet you can find liberals complaining about fireworks causing climate change.

Enjoyed the fireworks greatly, but the music was lil too mainstream lame for me.

I’ve seen the fireworks in person in DC for each of the past five years. This year was by far the best firework show.

How long until this becomes an unfunny meme about Trump?

Really enjoyed the pbs capitol 4th presentation. Wish I could have seen those fireworks in person. Trump really cares about this nation and it shows. Proud to be an American today!!! More than ever.

I was watching it before I went out to watch the show here in Fairhope. To me, the best part of the show was John Stamos (Uncle Jessie) playing with some wounded Vets. The frontman was a double amputee and he was belting Chicken Fried.

Here's what the Washington Post had to say.
quote:

At day’s end, there was even a twist on the venerable fireworks show that has boomed over the Mall for decades. The president’s event included an added display launched from behind the Lincoln Memorial, so close that bits of exploded paper rained on the VIP enclosure. But smoke, clouds and distance made the burst nearly invisible to those farther away.

“It’s definitely a bummer,” said Jeff Rossin, 24, visiting from Santa Barbara, Calif. “This looks like a War of 1812 reenactment, when they couldn’t see anything.”

The original show, which was moved to a new launching point in West Potomac Park, was similarly obscured for some, leaving many grumbling that the new arrangements had lessened the view.

Shandra Edwards, 47, who comes every year from Maryland and declared this year’s display “awful.” She hadn’t known the view would be best from the Lincoln Memorial, which was too small to fit the whole crowd in any case.

“That’s a problem; that’s not normal,” she said of the VIP-tailored show. “We’re all taxpayers .?.?. I’m fired up.”

All we are asking for is common sense sparkler control. Are you even aware that 2 out of every 7 Americans will be killed by these tools of war?
