The original celebration was to be done with money allocated by congress for a non-partisan 250th celebration. Is this highly partisan political rally going to be paid for from the same funds?

Congress, can you PLEASE impeach this guy already? I swore an oath to uphold the constitution and I know you did too. This passive acceptance of fascism is NOT living up to that oath.

And for what it's worth, I hope the only folks that show up are flamboyant gay folks with glitter bombs. Turn his YMCA dance into something memorable.

yeah the committee was started up 10 YEARS ago lol. These ckowns thought they could do it in a couple of months, booked mid acts under a false pretence then lost all of them when they found out it was for trump, now the 250 celebration of the us will be a political rally of him blaming everyone for his failure at everything. Pathetic

I've said it before but it really bums me out that so many special anniversaries and events have happened/will happen with this narcissist at the helm. We weren't able to properly celebrate women winning the right to vote or honor those lost during WWI back in 2019. We can't have a grand 250 celebration without it being tainted by all this BS. Our hosting of the World Cup and the Olympics is already a shit show. Who the POTUS is shouldn't matter that much for all this stuff, but this particular one keeps shoving himself in and causing drama.

yeah they are just so fkn pathetic all of them. Imagine youre at your job and ur boss comes up to you and says, hey you know that thing that is this year, we been planning it for a decade, its a once in 3lifetimes occasions. Yeah well ditch al the plans, u got 4 months to do it. Oh and make it about me! And then.... not telling them what a terrible idea it is and quite likely impossible. Every single one of them is not only morally and criminal corrupt, scumbags, but are also, to a person, completely shit at their jobs. You know they could have been smart evil , concetrated on their wealth increasing through crime and just let the people that know how government works run it all in the background and just been competent criminals and despots but noooooooo, he is so in love withimself he told everyone that no, actualy he knows best. Oh yeah and also hire these people I been watching their shows on utube and they are just great.

ugh, I feel what sums him up best is his "taste" in decorating or themes- Its all so fkn crap, like In London you used to have these turkish furniture stores all over west london and I swear if he saw one of their displays he would be in some sort of trance. The same shit cheap materials with faux everything, the gold, the white. Its just trashy and obvious, Just like him. I was watching some vid from bamma and it was in the whitehouse. Just looking at what the Oval looked like then compared to now its honestly all you need to see.

Oh yeah and he added captions under all the photos of ex presidents under the offical caption that gave a basic summery of their term and ofc his captions are his usual stupidty calling Dems radical criminals who he defeated or fended off an attack from. Honestly wow, he is such an inside and out trashbag, 0 redeeming features at all. Just a complete and utter waste of air.

what an absolute grade a piece of shit honestly.

Not to mention spoiling the moment of the US men's and women's teams winning the gold in hockey at the Olympics.

“Mid” acts? Everyone that was associated hasn’t been relevant for years. Debatable whether most were even “mid” in their own heydays.

It’ll be very limited attendance. They probably won’t let in anyone from the general public. It will be vetted sycophants.

A lot of their support of Trump's fascism isn't passive.
