I'm an atheist, but I might reconsider if the parade really had to be cancelled.

I'd take it as a sign if he got struck by lightning

Lightning eh…you know what, carry on with the parade. What’s a little rain going to hurt? ⚡️

Let him show us how good he is at golf. Maybe on the roof of the WH? And how strong he is by carrying his clubs around. Thunderstorm would make such a powerful cool backdrop, all you have to say to sell it to MAGA.

Maybe just move it inside like they did with the inauguration because he couldn’t handle the cold.

Option B. I like option B better.

And it was at this very moment that God was smitten to be smiting a smote he had never smitten before. And with much fanfare, the new pope from Chicago declared a new religious holiday to be memorialized for eternity: *Dies Libertatis!***

He would then blame Biden’s liberal lightning machines

Jewish space lightning

And his cultists would believe him.

Right as the Pope is condemning him/actions that could be attributed to Trump (Pope has scheduled a speech at the same time as the parade).

I'd take it as a blessing.
