i haven’t “looked under hood” to see how Trump is turning this celebration to be about him rather than the 250, but I don’t doubt it … the guy is the worst flavor of narcissist there is.

Tom Morello just announced (yesterday) a Power to the People show to be held up here on 10/3 at Merriweather. Great lineup … but really want to see Foo Fighters and Serj. Was really thinking of going but …. It’s being advertised as a “non-partisan” event, uh huh …. and Springsteen looks to be the headliner. It being a clear non-partisan event doesn’t bother me that much as I’m able to separate my political views from that of the music I like buuuuuut Springsteen sucks and I’ll be damned if a single penny of mine goes into his suck *** pockets. He has always sucked …

This may indeed be one of the more hilarious ready-fire-aim incidents in recorded human history, and that's setting aside that the acts that were identified sorta have that feel of being selected by gary bettman for some sort of big NHL event like a winter outdoor game.

That said...going to the National Mall during Fourth of July week, even for the 250th, is just ... gross.

I did it once. In 1984 or 1985. Can't remember which. LOL

Ultimately, here’s what they should do. Near each end of the reflecting pool, they build a giant ramp. Then, they put some sharks in the reflecting pool. Then they get a guy in a leather jacket on waterskis …

oh never mind

I’ll be watching fireworks at the club of the presidents which provide a perfectly cromulent view of the dc fireworks safely in the distance.

This sentiment is most commonly used by center-right and maga Americans to gaslight and criticize those that don't agree with them.
No. I'm legitimately saddened by the fact that MAGAs have hijacked everything and made it us versus them so we can't just simply enjoy the 250 celebration. it will all be politicized bs.

I'm sure his message out to the quote unquote Americans will be something along the lines of celebrating without the evil Democrats or some dumb s*** like that.

Just wonderfully well played. Top notch. ("And she stepped on the ball" is a running gag in our household with Mrs. A)

(Unfortunately, the reality is that the newer members are a bunch of noveau riche obnoxious DC drunks. Like the old joke about how many UVA grads does it take to change to change a light bulb -- A: one, as they just hold it up and the world revolves around them)

Do you think he'd give it a full-throated endorsement? :unsure:
He wouldn't like all these folks dropping out. He'd probably stick his neck out for the event and try to convince some other folks to perform.

Can I come crash at your place sometime and go to the club?
