850,000 fireworks shells lit up the National Mall! It just broke the world record for the biggest fireworks show in history. For comparison, last year’s D.C. Fourth of July show only used around 20,000 shells. I had people in the comments telling me, “Oh, it was the same thing as last year.” No, it wasn’t. Fireworks are cool. They did a good job, end of story. If you want to complain and and whine, you can go to the main D.C. sub or you can go to Bluesky. If you don’t like what I post, you don’t have to engage in itAnd here’s a compilation of all the best videos from the fireworks, and at the end, there’s a full time-lapse of everything.

They went all out with these fireworks, and they’re still going. This is just a glimpse of it. Good luck trying to breathe tomorrow, but my Lord, they celebrated the 250th with a bang. And the amount of people that waited outside just to get in was insane. Like if you waited out there all day trying to get in, I feel bad because there were still hundreds of people outside.ill post that in a bit

I’ll also post a compilation of all the planes without making 9 million posts, but this shit was awesome. I’ll post another video separately, but man… happy July 4th and happy 250th, everybody. Besides the weather, this shit was awesome. Freedom is never free!!

They did a great job. I saw this in one of the Reddit comments, and someone wrote, “If you choose to be negative in every aspect of life, life will pass you by and you’ll be miserable.” Take that for whatever you will.

I hope everyone had a great July 4th. Everybody be safe, enjoy your night, and if you’re drinking, don’t be a dumbass and drive.

The lines are super long. Good luck if you’re trying to get in. Like I said in my other post, if you’re standing out here waiting in this heat, more power to you! No shot everyone is getting in. massive line of people along Pennsylvania Avenue waiting to get through the gates at 15th Street

A crowd marches toward the White House chanting, “86 47!” while carrying a large Declaration of Independence banner. It’s an interesting juxtaposition: carrying the Declaration of Independence while chanting ‘86 47.

If this is how you want to spend your July 4th, more power to you. What’s more impressive is the fact that you’re walking in this heat while carrying that banner. More power to you, because it’s like 105 degrees outside.it’s boiling outside!!!!
