What specific "many other things [ you ] wouldn’t be ok with if a democrat was doing it" ?!?
This is more empty Leftist demagoguery on your part, of Trump and Republicans. And really, barely-veiled hatred of the United States itself, and its history, that it's somehow shameful to plan a celebration for our country's 250th anniversary. And this is increasingly the Democrat / Left view of U.S. patriotism, and of our history.
I just saw a poll that 70% of Republicans polled, would DEFINITELY display an American flag. In the same poll, only 26% of Democrats say they would display an American flag. And many Democrats say they would display a gay or trans flag instead (which for my money, are each an ANTI-American flag, and the same as displaying the Russian-Communist flag. Which many Democrats do wave at protests, and have for over 10 years) All these are flags of the radical Left, of people who hate and undermine and are actively trying to destroy America. If it's bad for America, your Democrat-Bolshevik party is all for it, and no one in the Democrat party voices a word of dissent.
De-fund the police. Empty the prisons. Open borders. Abolish ICE. Actblue, and billionaires George Soros, Neville Singham, Bill Gates, and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, ALL of whom are intertwined with the Chinese communist government, in their coordinated efforts to de-stabilize and overthrow the United States. Attacking ICE and Border Patrol agents, and doxxing them and their families, encouraging violent attacks on them. Openly now saying they want COMMUNISTS (euphemisttically self-described "Democratic Socialists", emphasis on SOCIALIST) elected, to do all the above craziness and more, to destroy the nation from within.
Rabid anti-Semitism on university campuses nationwide, and on the streets of New York and New Jersey, and NO ONE in the Democrat-Bolshevik party criticizes any of this.
Only a lone (and very far Left himself) John Fetterman has even tried, and for doing so, he has received death threats, and been threatened politically that he will be primaried out in his next Senate election.
Attacks on Trump and other Republicans, attacks on dissenting Democrats. And no criticism within the Democrat-Bolshevik party of any of this. Because this all plays into Democrat-Bolshevik intimidation and silencing of any dissent, either of Republicans or Independents, or even intimidation of those who have long been active and loyal to the Democrat party, often for decades. NY mayor Eric Adams. Long-time New Jersey senator Robert Menendez. People long known to have skeletons in their closets, but for 15 or 20 years were protected by the Democrat-Bolshevik party. But within a week or two of when they became crittical of the Biden / Democrat massive influx of illegal immigrants to their cities and states, very suddenly their long-standing allegations of corruption and crimes were under investigation by the (97% Democrat-donating) FBI and DOJ .
And Democra/Left attacks on Elon Musk, burning Tesla cars and dealerships. Someone who was a visible Democrat for over 20 years, who suddenly was repelled by recent Democrat radicalism and crazy Stalinistt policy, who just before the election became a vocal supporter of Trump. And that is why Musk HAD to be intimidated, to intimidate others from also leaving the Democrat party and supporting Trump. And you of course, M E M, have no problem with this Democrat violence and intimidation tactics. Shameful for anyone else who's not a Bolshevik, who observes these Tesla burnings and calls for Musk's assaassination (48% of Democrats polled !!) But for you... hey, no problem.
I fail to see what's so "shameful" about President Trump promoting a large and festive 250th celebration of our nation's history. The UFC fights are a national, and global, sport. It is no more shameful than inviting the year's champion football team, soccer team, volleyball team, baseball team, or hockey team to the White House to celebrate their victory. All of which teams invited tot he White House has been occurring for decades annually, under presidents of both parties, back to at least Ronald Reagan's presidency that I can recall, and probably a lot further back than that. It only gets shaped into a narrative of being shameful --OH ! OHH, SHAMEFUL-- when Donald Trump does it. No, it's not. I's a celebration of the greatness of the United States and is history, an idea suggested by ulimate fighers and others in the UFC, who are fiercely patriotic, and huge supporters of the accomplishments of President Trump, who wanted to do their part to honor both Trump and the country.
About a week ago, former George W.. Bush-era presidential speechwriter Marc Thiessen said that a century ago when Teddy Roosevelt was president, he had elephants fighting giraffes on the White House lawn.
You know what I find disgraceful and an embarassment to the country, M E M?
One evil faction of the Democrat-Left angry mob, screaming at / threatening / intimidating ANOTHER faction of the evil Democrat-Left angry mob. But Jacobinist / Marxist violent revolutionaries, one and all.
And if they aren't stopped, they will burn this country to the ground. There is no intimidation, no threats, no violence, these people will not resort to, to get power. And if they ever achieve it, they will go full-on Jacobinist French Revolution, on all dissenters. And then finally bloodily turn on each other, to intimidate, attack and kill anyone who doesn't share their particular strain of Democrat-Bolshevism.
As I've cited often, these are Leftist mobs that carry effigy guillotines and severed heads, clearly invoking the Jacobinist Reign of Terror. It's hard to imagine after carrying these guillotine props around since the Occupy Wall Street days of 2011, 15 years now, working up an increasing frenzy of hate and violence, that given the opportunity, they WOULDN'T actually kill their political opposition if they could. https://www.dailywire.com/news/sick-democrat-under-fire-over-beheaded-trump-photo
That they've been openly boasting they would do if given power, whether unknowingly interviewed by Project Veritas, or by their brethren in the mainstream media, as Hakkim Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, James Carville, and Susan Rice have recently, saying these things less than 2 months ago.
THAT is the disgrace. That the Democrat-Left has fomented this violence since at least 2004, and it has come to this. That Donald Trump as president is trying to restore our Constitutional freedoms, and to honor and remember a history we should be deeply proud of. And because it's Trump who is leading this honoring of our nation's history and achievements, the Democrat /Left wants to slander and destroy it.
But then... the Democrat / Left was destroying it anyway. They hate Trump because he got elected in 2016, and prevented the Democrats' Constitution-wrecking one-party authoritarian takeover. And then Democrats rigged the 2020 election, and tried to REALLY make an authoritarian power-grab, from 2021-2024.
And then Trump, despite an incredible wave of lawfare against him, judge-shopped Trump-hating judges, with trials set in venues where juries were over 90% Trump-hating Democrats, and in several cases openly licking their lips at the opportunity to convict Trump, before seeing ANY evidence, ultimately rigged court convictions, and Trump hit with roughly a billion in fines and legal costs, and several assassination attempts on top of that.
Butt Trump still managed to become president AGAIN in Nov 2024, and wipe away all the Democrat-Bolshevik damage AGAIN, from Biden's 4 years. And Trump even further rooted out decades of federal corruption: Democrat abuse of USAID, of Medicare and Medicaid by thieving Somali immigrants and Democrat leaders like Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison.
And now further rooting out literally MILLIONS of fake Obamacare registrations, a least a million individual healthcare accounts which were somehow set up despite people not having social security numbers. And a few million more where Americans without their knowledge or consent were signed up for Obamacare, but the money billed in their names was sent NOT to them, but to somewhere else. And also billions in EBT / SNAP Food Stamps fraud, where just today investigators revealed they found the 300 a week or so given to individual people to by food on credit cards, was exchanged weekly to gangs and cartels, for money, drugs and guns. ONLY because of Trump is this all being stopped.
And the M E M's and Igyy's out there are upset about stopping this corruption. And hate Trump even more. For what? For stopping it? For exposing the Democrat party corruption at the core of this, orchestrating and allowing all of these fleeced tens of billions, no longer pouring back into the Democrat-Bolshevik machine?
You know what ELSE is a national disgrace, M E M ?
THIS.....
AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL, LEAVING $85 BILLION IN MILITARY EQUIPMENT ON THE BATTLEFIELD, FOR THE ENEMY TO SELL TO THE RUSSIANS, CHINESE, AND IRANIANS, TO REVERSE-ENGINEER, AND ELIMINATE OUR BATTLEFIELD SUPERIORITY. FAR BEYOND THE DISGRACE OF LOSING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, THAT RUMP NEVER WOULD HAVE, BUT BIDEN DID, IN RECORD TIME, BARELY 7 MONTHS AFTER BIDEN'S INAUGURATION. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_U.S._troop_withdrawal_from_Afghanistan
Oh, and THIS...
THE AFGHAN WIHDRAWAL (REALLY, ABANDONMENT UNDER BIDEN) WHERE 13 U.S. SOLDIERS WERE KILLED IN A BOMBING, BECAUSE SOLDIERS WERE NOT PERMITTED TO ENGAGE A SIGHTED TALIBAN SUICIDE BOMBER, AND THE BOMBER WAS ALLOWED IN TO HIT HIS TARGET, KILLING 13 SOLDIERS, and HUNDREDS OF FLEEING AFGHAN REFUGEES. AND DOZENS MORE CIVILIANS, VIDEOTAPED, WHO DIED CLINGING TO U.S> PLANES AS THEY TOOK OFF, AND FELL THOUSANDS OF FEET TO THEIR DEATHS. SUCH WAS THE CARELESSNESS AND DISORGANIZATION OF THE SUDDEN RETREAT FROM AFGHANISTAN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Kabul_airlift#Abbey_Gate_suicide_attack
No remorse, no shame, no outrage about THIS, M E M?
Or how about topless transvestites groping their own freakshow breasts in front of the White House under Joe Biden? ( I realy don't want to show pictures, and I doubt anyone here really wants to see them. But photos and video are abundant of this disgrace. The purest example of decadent and perverse. )
And how about the disgrace of lighting up the White House in gay flag colors?
How about the disgrace of making our embassies in nations all over the world, forced by a Biden executive order, to similarly display gay and trans flags at every embassy for several years, and similarly, up till Jan 2025, to allow under 8 years of Obama, and then later under 4 years of Biden, to use USAID and other foreign aid to ram a gay/trans and abortion agenda down the throats of nations worldwide. How's THAT for shameful, and making the rest of the world hate us?
Or how about a groping Joe Biden, both as V.P., and then as President, , putting his hands all over teenage girls and children, where the video of them shows they are clearly uncomfortable and repelled by Biden's hands all over them and sniffing their hair. And Biden furher groping wives and girlfriends of Secret Service agents. And Biden deliberately walking around nude and saying creepy things to female Secret Service agents, there just to protect him, that he deliberately humiliated. https://www.rkmbs.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1241824#Post1241824
Shameful? You bet.
Or a Joe Biden getting instructions from the Easter Bunny, CLEARLY a Democrat-Bolshevik party puppet that enabled them to run wild, not a president in charge. And the question remains: Who WAS in charge during Biden's 4 years? Four years where an enemy nation could have fired missiles at any time, any day, and neither Biden or any of his staff would have had a clue what to do about it, and who even had the authority to do it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/...-for-questioning-trump-s-age/ar-AA1Rw0K6
Or Joe Biden and wife Jill, taking calls from soldiers overseas, where one soldier jokingly said "Let's go Brandon !" And Biden said "Oh, yeah, absolutely, let's go Brandon.." Utterly clueless that it was code for "fuck Joe Biden", making it clear Biden hadn't watched the news in at least a month when it was reported on every day. And therefore clear Biden was not in charge, was not qualified or capable of being president, and had no idea what was going on in the world, to be the most powerful political leader in the world. To be mocked to his face, and not even know it.
But President Trump has a 250th national celebration, and you and other Democrats have a hissy fit about nothing, while ignoring YEARS of Democrats visibly destroying the country. And Democrats in just the last 2 months openly plotting in televised interviews (Susan Rice, James Carville, Chuck Schumer, and Hakkim Jeffries) about weaponizing government against Trump and other Republicans again, THE MOMENT Democrats ever regain power.
Stacking the Supreme Court. Making Puerto Rico and Washington DC states, despite that each clearly doesn't qualify. Eliminating the filibuster. Eliminating the supermajority, moving to the "nuclear option" simple majority, to do all the above, basically shredding the Constitutional checks and balances, so Democrats can have one-party authoritarian rule, pretty much forever . And that's when we'll see the Democrat Jacobinist Reign Of Terror really take form.
