1. Edited

The Biden inauguration fireworks was, without a doubt the most impressive fireworks display I've ever seen televised...Probably live as well.

I didn't watch the RNC.

2. The RNC one?

I thought the inauguration show was better.

5. Oh, sorry... I meant Biden's Inauguration fireworks. Why are we talking about RNC NOW?

[BGBD]

6. Because trump

Had NPS put 4k hours into a show for the RNC. Just more of that there corruption.

3. It really was beautiful.

Someone else should have paid for it.

7. I had the Biden Inauguration on my mind with its spectacular fireworks and missed that RNC was being

discussed. I suppose it pays to slow down and read the full post-- I try to remember. Oh well.

9. Join the club

I did the same thing a few days ago when I read a thread title too fast and read the post as if it was talking about Trump when it was actually about Biden. The word "Biden" was right there in the sentence but my eyes for some reason skipped over that part of it and only saw the other part of the sentence, interpreting it as if it was about Trump. Some kind of a brain cramp I had at the time, lol.

11. I had just found out my sister had

died when the inauguration fireworks were going off so I didn't really get to see them. I'm not going to be mad at Trump's fireworks but I am pissed about the Rose Garden.

12. Oh, I am so sorry about your sister.

Perhaps the fireworks were ultimately her memorable send-off? I've always been more supportive of the Irish wake premise of the celebration of life. So, perhaps you may come to picture these as you surely will the happy memories of a life well-lived.

13. Thanks.

4. Since it was for a private organization, how much did the RNC pay for the Park work?

[Squinch]

8. Exactly.

10. Send the RNC a bill

With an exponential late fee schedule.
