As Twitchy told you, liberals and the Resistance are having a really, really hard time processing the presence of military equipment and vehicles in Washington, D.C., ahead of tomorrow’s Independence Day celebration. Joy Reid warned that this is an undeniable sign that Donald Trump is ready to deploy the might of our military against his fellow Americans who oppose him politically.

O’Neill, the former U.S. Navy SEAL credited with shooting Osama bin Laden, has a message for everyone who’s melting down over the “tanks” in D.C.:
Dear triggered Americans:
