Deranged Rhino Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Umm... what? Inviting active service members and their family to a parade to honor the nation they risk their lives to defend is somehow wrong or in poor taste? People just want to complain to fill their TDS quotas. It's nonsense like this that makes the majority of people in this country see through it (and vote Trump come 2020 even if they don't talk about it in public -- why should they when they know they'll be greeted with hot takes like this one) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then I'd plan my speech to be about where we are as a country. Our history, our successes, our failures and how hard we need to work as a team to keep this great country going the right direction yadda yadda yadda. A unifying speech. And then let AOC speak. And use whatever she says if it's dopey like it would most likely be as cannon fodder in 2020. perfect! My real objection to this whole thing is more on logistics and tradition! and how it would affect me( if i was there this year LOL)!!!! I have pretty much watched for the same spot on the mall the last 30 years...no need to be messing with that! Although i must say the second blast of fireworks from West Potomac Park does sound pretty awesome..so more firewroks always good!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems so. It's incredibly transparent -- and sadly it just means Fox will benefit (who's just as bad as the rest, they're just the other side of the same coin). How much time will those networks devote to Mueller's 7/17 testimony? I think weeks, not hours, worth of time. (They're too ashamed/guilty to admit how badly they botched the Trump/Russia story, keeping it alive is the only way they can avoid self assessment... but it still won't work).

Tiberius Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Happy Fourth of July everyone! My fav, Jennifer Rubin nails it, of course: Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary students, decked out in patriotic regalia, wait patiently for the school's annual Independence Day Parade to kick off, Wednesday, July 3, 2019, in Nacogdoches, Texas. (Tim Monzingo/The Daily Sentinel via AP) By Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer July 4 at 7:45 AM I’m reminded more frequently these days that we are fortunate to have inherited a magnificent democracy and a Constitution that secures our liberties, but that our democratic norms, institutions and values must be scrupulously maintained in every generation. We are charged with the task of fulfilling and expanding the Declaration of Independence’s promise -- “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” If nothing else the past few years should teach us that there is no substitute for an informed and engaged citizenry. I’ve never beleived more strongly in President Ronald Reagan’s admonition: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” I hope your day with family and friends is safe and joyous. Enjoy your hometown parades, festivities, BBQs and fireworks. We should remember that we our able to celebrate and go about our daily lives with peace of mind thanks to our brave men and women in the armed services around the world. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on the activities on the National Mall so you don’t have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
