July 4th: Trump hijacking Independence Day

[Wyatt earp]

No answer to my question? Funny. Thanks for playing...

There are things for which Trump is deserving of criticism, but this isn't one of them.

What's wrong with celebrating the 4th of July? What's wrong with putting some tanks and other military hardware on display for the public? It's not something the public typically gets to see and it's probably a good recruiting tool to encourage young people to consider serving in the military.

For radical extremists like you, every Trump statement or action is an outrage and your outrage only flows in one direction.

What's wrong is turning it into his personal political rally.

---------------------------------- personal political rally --- I think that that is what you ASSUME eh Crep ??

He is going to give an address from the White House (which is when the brand new Sherman tanks will be on display).

I am willing to make a wager that address will mirror every campaign speech he has every given...

You willing to take that wager?

Lakhota Are you triggered when the Air Force provides flyovers for sporting events? Or does your outrage only apply to when Trump is there?

Would you have been okay with President Obama hijacking Independence Day for political purposes - at taxpayer expense?

The country's military won our independence, they are included in parades nation wide, why not on display in the nations capital? Keep it up commies, you'll guarantee Trumps reelection.

.

I am excited to see the brand new Sherman tanks that Trump said would be there.

No kidding that's what I said .

No its not what you said.
What you said was:

What was the question? That you thought the 4th of July was a gay parade day and not about pick up trucks, bible, guns , baseball and American pie?

By the way, merry December 25th, happy January 1st as well.

Washington Post Issues Warning About Donald Trump’s Fourth Of July Bash

The newspaper’s editorial board explained why Americans shouldn’t be lured by the spectacle of the event.

The Washington Post editorial board has issued a warning to Americans, urging them not to be taken in by the pomp and ceremony that will be on display at President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July celebration in Washington.

Americans “shouldn’t be lured by the trappings or the spectacle or the rhetoric of Mr. Trump,” the board said, instead suggesting they should “claim the day for values embraced by the founders: freedom, tolerance and respect for all.”

Obama did worse than that, Lakhota.
By pushing for the ACA mandates, handing out billions if not trillions to corporate insurance interests
(WHERE TWO LAWSUITS SUCCESSFULLY ARGUED THE SPENDING WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND REFUNDED STATES)
Obama's abuse of Govt is STILL affecting Americans and public policy.

This breach that essentially "established political beliefs through govt"
OPENED THE DOOR to the current trend we see now of Christian RIGHT TO LIFE
asserting the same political tactic of VOTING IN THEIR BELIEFS by majority.

Do you care about abuses Obama enacted and enforced that
VIOLATED Constitutional laws and ethics by imposing Party Politics?

Oh please. Could you imagine the epic exploding of Republican heads if Obama, after seeing the FRENCH parade ,had taken over D.C.'s celebration and the DNC was giving away tickets to Democratic donors? The articles of impeachment would be written up already.

Nixon said "It's not illegal if the President does it"
Trump supporters say "Anything goes if Trump does it"

You didn't read the huffpost article huh?

The democrats are pissed they didn't get any free tickets.


.

And you'd be okay if this was Obama's vanity parade instead of Trump's and the RNC wasn't getting tickets?

It's not a fucking parade commie, there will be static displays.

What had been a nonpolitical, nonpartisan celebration on the National Mall will now likely be a multimillion-dollar, taxpayer-financed political rally, critics worry.

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump has hijacked what for decades had been a nonpolitical Independence Day celebration on the National Mall, packing his ticketed-event speech with political appointees and Republican donors.

The Republican National Committee has been offering major donors tickets to Trump’s speech, as have political appointees at the White House and executive branch agencies.

“He’s going to have tanks out there. It’s going to be cool,” joked one RNC fundraiser on condition of anonymity. He said he received an offer for the free tickets on Friday but did not request any. “He wants to have a parade like they have in Moscow or China or North Korea.”

Trump has been enamored of public displays of military might since he attended the Bastille Day festivities in Paris in 2017. His plan for a massive military parade last year was canceled after a Defense Department estimate became public showing that it would cost $92 million and damage the city’s roads because of the weight of tanks and other equipment.

The current plans for Thursday do not include a parade, but Trump is still pushing for tanks or other military vehicles to be displayed on the National Mall, The Washington Post reported, even though their weight is liable to damage the grass and roads. Flyovers by military planes ― including Air Force One and the Navy’s Blue Angels squadron ― are also planned.

The Independence Day celebration has traditionally been a nonpartisan holiday. Now Trump is trying to turn it into a partisan political rally. I think that is ignorant. What do you think?

I saw the 1976 Bicentennial display that involved a lot of Naval ships celebrating Independence day. No Democrats cried about it that day since they were too busy celebrating it.

Here is one source showing the several routes of celebration that culminated on July 4th 1976, from America's Best History.

It was a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Bicentennial of the United States. Across the nation, from 1975 through July 4, 1976, various celebrations were held. There was a Freedom Train, a locomotive that traversed the nation from coast to coast with exhibits about the nation. There was a Wagon Train, that traced the old roads that made the nation, again from coast to coast. There was Operation Sail, a celebration of tall ships in the harbors of New York and Boston.

Then we have this on You Tube a restored 2 minute film:

Parade of Ships -- USA Bicentennial -- NYC

Then we have this PDF list of the July 4 1976 schedule of events celebration, from the Ford Library:

The original documents are located in Box 69, folder “Fourth of July (1976) - Schedules and Lists of Events (1)” of the John Marsh Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library.

You are ignorant and full of baloney.

Maybe he should just set up a stage with some Roman Columns (a la Barry)on it, come out wearing some Nike 'Betsy Ross' Sneakers (a 'tribute' to Colin Kaepernick), recite a couple of quotes from Saul Alensky's 'Rules For Radicals' (as Barry once did), announce that he is going to 'TRUMP' Obama's 'Obamaphone' give-away program by giving one tax-payer-funded SMART phone to every illegal released into the US populace, and as a special 4th Of July / Independence Day (1776) Celebratory Act he should announce that he is granting Amnesty to every illegal in the United States who is either 17 or 76 years old (but ONLY '17' or '76').

That's why I've been saying the founding arent saints and their deeds or constitution for that matter isnt Devine. We should take the positives and reject the negatives. The EC is the biggest one of them all.
