If there’s still anyone out there, who doubts the Republican Party is a cult to Donald Trump I give you this ad. “Ken Paxton is a horrible, person and even though it insults my dignity as a human being, I’m still voting for him because - Democrats“ There is no bottom. There is no shame.

Watching corporate media debate Trump's promise of $5000 a person the way Trump wants. In reality, Dems should simply be pointing out that the GOP controls the House & Senate today and ask Republicans: Why not pass it right now to show Americans it's real?! Put the GOP on defensive.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.
linuscatt · 1d ago
I worked at Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month long Folklife Festival on the mall, "The Festival of Festivals". Was going to feature well known festivals, think Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Oprey etc. as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories. Goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community etc. Can't name names but plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.... Think the types of names who might be affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals. Stars were willing to perform because was under banner of Smithsonian. It had to all be scrapped bc the administration would not release permits to host on the mall. The money went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation cultural moment.
