    Isn’t there a law expressly prohibiting the use of federal funds for partisan activity?

      The hatch act has basically been dead since his first term. I laugh sardonically whenever it is brought up.

      There’s also a law against rape and pedophilia. Didn’t stop him either.

        The problem is: why aren’t those laws being enforced?

        The whole system breaks down when the guy in charge of the boss of the whole DOJ is the criminal, especially when he has nation’s highest court stacked 6:3 in his favor…

    Half milestones are kinda tacky anyways, but I suppose that fits. 250 who cares. I’m sure a lot of people would rather not celebrate most of those years anyways.

        The circumstances that everyone had the same freedoms all those 250 years? Certainly in that case.

          I could see a case where celebrating reparations being involved in a 250 year anniversary, maybe? But to be honest in my opinion, borders are kind of a weird concept now days

            All I am saying is not everyone has a reason to celebrate and people that don’t celebrate shouldn’t be looked at as less patriotic, it’s not compulsory to light fireworks out of my asshole on the fourth fun as it is.

              I fully fully agree, I didn’t mean to come across as critical of your point. There are many reasons to not “celebrate”

    “We don’t want singers with no talent”.

    TIL that according to the highest official representatives of the United States, there is not a single talented musician in the United States.

    It’s a shame, and it would have been a good concert. The blame lies on the untalented musicians who have no talent, if they had talent there would have been a concert with talented musicians.

    But fortunately for all American patriots, the president with the highest scores on a cognitive test will deliver a consistent speech full of patriotic, Christian and capitalist values ​​for several hours.

    You’d have to be a total idiot at this point to attend such a thing.

    I hope we can get everyone’s name that attends this. Kind of like finding out someone that was at the J6 terrorist event.

    Fun fact about Lee Greenwood: he recorded an alternative version of his biggest hit, “God Bless the USA” where he just swapped out all the references. It’s called “God Bless You, Canada”. Dude is such a hack.
