baling on trump's 250th Anniversary celebration? I haven't seen one. Granted, it's not the most important story out there, but it IS a story. It's also a ratings grabber as it's the kind of thing that viewers of both parties are interested in. So why ignore it?

It's an embarrassing story for trump, not the end of the world. But if this were happening to Joe Biden, well, forgive me if I think it would be handled differently.

1. If it were Joe or Kamala

It would be headline news for a week maybe more.

4. Got that right it would 24/7 breaking news coverage non-stop......................

shithole and comrades are requiring military soldiers that qualify "the look (masculine and white)" to attend the birthday bash, but they would have to pay their own way

I don't think many will be there except for the Fetterman, republican congress and republican politicians from across the country and it wouldn't surprise about those 6 asshole from the US SC coming as well.

Taxpayers are funding it as well as the 250th very sad event(

5. It's so sad it's turned into this

I was 4 when the bicentennial happened so barely remember it. I'd been looking forward to this most of my life. That was ruined Nov '24.

2. Not to worry

They'll be on it soon enough how this is bad for Democrats.

3. Yes, shaming the Dem for being part of the Hollywood Elite

That's how the Rs and corporate media have disarmed Dems and kept them from using one of their greatest strengths. I hope Dems see that and use their celebrity allies in the midterms. If the Rs whine, it;s because they're jealous.

7. It's out there. CNN ran a story on it this afternoon,

saying basically what's been reported on DU.

8. Not a cable outlet, but the Washington Post has an article about it.

9. I've heard it on CNN and MSNow

Several times, in fact. I've been out and about today and listen to Sirius XM.
