Because sticking it to the opposition is what the 4th of July is all about.

Sarcastic humor doesn't work here, especially when it requires knowledge of US history.  Trump supporters will agree with your post.

"intended partly to raise civilian awareness of the military so a parade featuring the latest military hardware and marchers from every branch of military service " .

Most importantly IMOP to install a sense of pride and patriotism  the strongest and most powerful nation in the world has endured for over 200 plus years . This is part of MAGA,values from the past .

Do you think civilians are unaware of the military?  Do you think the traditional festivities lacked pride and patriotism?  Regarding "MAGA values form the past", for most of US history citizens were very suspicious of the military and kept it as small and out of sight as possible.

 

Trump is turning a popular, traditional, non-partisan Fourth of July celebration into an "I am the greatest" campaign rally.  Making it even more blatant and illegal, he is using taxpayer money and passing out VIP tickets to Republican donors.  That is what people object to.  Got it?

Alternate take - Trump is turning the 4th of July into a 'Merica! celebration which most Americans love aside from the same stale crybabies who hate pretty much everything. 

 

While the left is coddling illegal aliens at the border and campaigning for illegal aliens healthcare, ole Trump is giving an alternative to that garbage with Tanks and Fireworks and American Flags. 

 

Overall, Trump is certainly doing all the right things to promote America and give an alternative to the lunatic left.

You edit out all of my post which addresses the patriotism of traditional Fourth of July celebrations and the illegality of Trump's partisan celebration, just so you can reply to one sentence with an off-topic rant.  Typical knee-jerk reaction to rationality.

I want to reply before your final five words gets your post deleted.

 

Trump haters aren't going insane, they are calmly and rationally pointing out why Trump's politicizing of the Fourth of July celebrations are inappropriate.  Trump supporters are going insane attempting to defend the indefensible.  For example, you are relying on obscene name calling.

 

 

Speaking of obscene:

 

Quote

 

Donald Trump's Independence Day parade branded 'obscene' by former general

Retired Army Major General and Vietnam veteran William Nash told Politico: “The president is using the armed forces in a political ploy for his reelection campaign and I think it’s absolutely obscene.”

No, it is an illegal debasement of traditional patriotic celebrations.

 

How many times does that have to be explained?

Thats you're opinion. 

 

And you can repeat yourself all you want but from where im sitting it would seem like you guys crapping on a 4th of July 'Merica! celebration is a real loser of a position and basically plays right into Trumps hands. 

 

Im convinced you guys are upset about it because it makes the left look even more ridiculous than they already do.

LOL like the left gives a single turd about "taxpayer funded" anything. The same left is freaking out about a 4th of July celebration using some tax payer dollars on its OWN CITIZENS while actively and openly campaigning on spending taxpayer dollars on literal non-citizens. 

[Tug]

Ha ha!! When cornered with nowhere to go lash out deflect try to shift blame lol pure and simple Donald is using a holiday to promote himsielf at tax payers expense and devide us further on a day  we are supposed to celebrate our country(btw that’s what I’m going to do!!) god bless America cheers!

VIP tickets given only to Republican VIP's and the Trump speech which will be a long brag about how great he; these are the partisan parts of this debasement. 

 

You people can't even see how narrow your blinders are.

It is not an opinion that this is being funded with Park Service and taxpayer money.

 

It is not an opinion that giving VIP tickets to Republican bigshots is partisan and illegal.

 

It is your opinion that everyone who disagrees with your Trump worship is unpatriotic.  Your opinion is wrong. 

 

I'm convinced that you guys no longer care about rule of law in America.

Once again, divide us by turning a tradtional nonpartisan event with lots of flags, fireworks and patriotism, into a taxpayer funded campaign rally.

 

And none of the King Trump fanatics can see how wrong that is.

And you seem to have a blind spot of your own. It's not great that it's turning into a military celebration. The founding fathers had no use for either a standing army or celebrations of military prowess. But the real problem is that Presidents have traditionally avoided appearing at the celebration in order not to appear to be making it a partisan affair. And given that he's showing favoritism to his own political party and donors to his campaign, he's already dirtied it up a bit. Maybe even violated the Hatch Act. Not the he cares about such things. Nor apparently do many if not most Trump supporters.

Id say most Americans couldn't care less, and Id wager the whole ordeal will be packed. 

 

Only the unhinged left of today seems hell bent on taking large dumps on such things as a 4th of July celebration. 

 

But it really is beneficial to the right that you guys do such things, so by all means knock yourselves out.

Nope, but it IS ridiculous, glaringly hypocritical faux-outrage. 

 

 

This is an opinion. Although one I think is quite good for the right. "Democrats fight 4th of July celebration; partisan and illegal" are awesome news headlines and further push that you guys have fallen off the leftwing map. 

 

 

It is my opinion that only the craziest of the crazy left would try and crap on a 4th of July celebration, which youre all hell bent on doing. Which seems to me like punching yourself in the testicles but up to you. 

 

 

The combined irony and hypocrisy in this statement its so intense yet you cant even see it. 

You have not refuted anything in my post, you have only replied with your ridiculous Trump defenses.  Your only definitive statement is to call "... giving VIP tickets to Republican bigshots is partisan and illegal." an opinion.  It is not, it is a fact and a clear violation of campaign finance law.

 

"An official with the Democratic National Committee told NBC News the organization has not received tickets to the VIP section for President Donald Trump’s Fourth of July celebration, “Salute to America,” as of Tuesday morning."

"However, a spokeswoman from the Republican National Committee confirmed Monday that the RNC has already received their ticket allotment for the VIP section of the event."   https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/RNC-Receives-VIP-Tickets-to-Trumps-Fourth-of-July-Celebration-DNC-Does-Not-512118972.html

When VIP tickets are given only to Republicans, yes it is.

Let's keep these posts in context.

[heybruce]

Let us not forget why we celebrate the Fourth of July.  July 4, 1776 is when our Declaration of Independence  http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.html  was signed, declaring the 13 colonies to now be a sovereign nation independent of England and King George.  Grievances against King George included:

 

" He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."  (Mitch McConnell has been a useful tool in this.)

 

"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. "

 

" He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. "  (On Wednesday Trump went against his own Justice Department and tweeted he would defy a Supreme Court ruing regarding the citizenship question in the upcoming census.)

 

" For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: "

 

King George, King Trump, take your pick.
