        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…

          “Checks and balances” were a sham… for decades already. Now you just have a bad actor in a broken system.

    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.

    “We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep — we’ve told them all to stay home,” Trump crowed.

    Then why did you hire them in the first place xD For fuck sake, you’re such a sore looser. People don’t want to be affiliated with you because you’re a crooked fascist pedo and you attack them on their looks, intelligence and or skills. Such toddler behavior. “mommyyyyy! Timmy doesn’t want to come to my party! Hey Timmy, you’re stupid and I’m going to tell everyone how stupid you are! And I’m going to have a party all by myself instead. It’s going to be the best party in the entire world.” Sure Donny, go play with your toys.

      Also didnt they start planning this thing like three months ago. Most performers have their schedules set like a year in advance. My understanding is that a bunch if the acts didn’t even know they were in it.

        From what I heard, they didn’t know what, it was. They thought it was the official celebration but it turned out to be a cheap replica organized by the white house. They didn’t approve so canceled.

        But you also make a good point. We all know who organized it: incompetent idiots.

    Poor Vanilla Ice…he ruined the rest of his reputation by staying onboard, and Trump threw him under the bus anyways.

    I hope various groups and organizations are organizing an alternative event, with all the best artists and food and speakers, and blackjack and hookers. And millions of people attend or tune into that. It would be hilarious to see it completely eclipse this disaster that Trump is pushing.

    Can we hold him to that?

    Is he going to order the military to attend so the venue doesn’t look empty? Or will it be public money spent on seat-fillers?

    “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.

      Right!? Poor guy’s probably just sitting on his couch thinking, “what about meeee?” Plus, the obvious TV op of an Army helicopter dropping him off at the venue to open his set! Such an easy opportunity to own the libs, and they went with Lee Fucking Greenwood!?

      No but remember when Trump wanted a serious and scary military parade for his birthday but instead the soldiers smiled and waved and the tanks were squeaky and no one showed up?

      Good times.

      Wow I haven’t watched that in years!

      (I take no embarrassment for these assholes’ actions - but am I ashamed? Deeply.)
