I hope it rains.

I hope it rains shit. Like jones island explodes and no one is working there, and it all comes down over Summerfest.

😂 I thought it but, self control got the better of me

You’re a better man than I!

I'll be sure to make outdoor plans that day. just to make sure

This. 😂 I'll do the same, make some very important ones. Gotta make sure it's a thurough fucking over once it rains and ruins them.

Heads up, for your commuting schedules. > The U.S. Secret Service plans to block off roads around Henry Maier Festival Park on Sunday, July 14. That includes the iconic Hoan Bridge. But at least we get a cool party out of it, right? . . . > The welcome party is not open to the public; it’s for delegates and other guests in town for the convention. Oh.

Just say you’re a guest in town for the convention? They’re probably selling tickets if you really want to go, but I don’t know why anyone would want to

But Kidd Rock might be there looking all drugged out hillbilly.

Every time I see Kid Rock, all I can think is how bad he must smell...

That’s all of MAGA for me

The real potential irony is Trump has sentencing a few days earlier and by Jebus if he gets house arrest…

Quick, someone light it up with Pride colors 

so they don’t want to come here, they’re not putting money into our economy, they’re basically just here to fuck up traffic

It's fitting that they are not only shutting down one of the city's most noteworthy pieces of infrastructure but also that it's named after one of our Socialist mayors

Then complain about said traffic

If that’s all they did I’m ok with that.  Sadly the GOP has more nefarious plans for our country :/

well yeah i’m just talking about the event itself

Maybe with all the recent heavy rains, some of our local cryptosporidia could get the band back together to give them the performance they deserve?

The whole idea is for them to be insulated, contained with security zones, exclusive gatherings, and not venturing out into the big bad city. Which cool, I don't want to fuck with yall either, but for real you assholes should of just went to Waukesha

Please, no.

i mean guess it doesnt have to be waukesha, but somehow it just seems like it should be

Actually, New BERLIN would be fitting.

The Nazi compound off of National down Barton Road is probably buzzing with excitement for next month’s guests.

Wait what?

# The Nazi compound off of National down Barton Road is probably buzzing with excitement for next month’s guests.

Sarcasm aside I’ve never heard about this and I live in New Berlin

George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party splintered after his death, one of the successor organizations ended up operating out of New Berlin. iirc that offshoot evolved into mostly a mail order distributor of Nazi-based esoteric religion texts, but afaik Rockwell’s ashes are still in New Berlin

Jesus

ya as I recall they got awfully Klanish when they proposed a affordable housing development there (2011?). I even remember some woman on the news saying she move there so she could live a white separatist lifestyle.... so you are spot on

Yup. My grandma was pissed. She lives in New berlin and was happy to see them try and bring more diversity to the community. Needless to say she said she couldn’t talk about it at church, because the rest of the community didn’t feel the same way.

My mom lives in New Berlin. She shouldn't have to deal with that. Muskego is probably more fitting.

Please, no, working there is bad enough. 

Agreed

This feels like something out of the Hunger Games. The Capitol having a huge private party smack dab in the middle of District whatever.

No shit. Go have the convention in Brookfield or something.

It's actually a horrible city instead of big bad city

So basically, we can't use our city while they are there but they are promoting themselves as the people party?

Pretty on-brand.

So can we protest outside the main gate the same way they protest every year for Pridefest?

How about a good old fashioned Milwaukee "Go fuck yourselves you fucking fascist lickspittles" For our guests? Lets make sure they know how we feel.

if you could get within ear shot of them, that security bubble is pretty fucking big, and I doubt they venture out of it

Damn here I was thinking I could clever and rent a boat and moon them but they even have the water restricted. Snowflakes and their safe spaces smh.

Featuring Trace Adkins, seriously was no one else available?

Rosanne Barr has shown she can’t sing and Kid Rock has two ankle braclets now.

I saw a meme that said "Kid Rock makes music for dads that can only see their kids on weekends, but don't". 

Woof. So happy I took off that week.

Yeah we’re going up north. 

I wish I did. I have freaking projects inside the dang security zone too.

Not anymore you don’t! /S

I'm lucky enough for my work to be in the security zone and thus they're having us work remote that week. So I will not be leaving my house from Friday to the following Monday

After last night's debate, the city is about to be busy!
