For Those who have an ear to Hear !
No thanks
The headline terribly deceiving.
Let’s balance the budget instead.
Dumb idea. Go do some work, Congressperson.
It will be misused by many, bad idea.
I’ll take every holiday they offer us. And no more chintzy holidays like MLK day. They consolidated Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays into “president’s day” and then gave us MLK day.
Same number of holidays. Total rip off...
AFTER Mt. Rushmore.
Headline:
Congressman Bennie Thompson staffer fired after social media posts lamenting shooter’s aim in Trump assassination attempt.
By Russ Latino - July 14, 2024
Jacqueline Marsaw, who worked as a field director of Rep. Bennie Thompson, wrote three inflammatory Facebook posts in the wake of the ...

NY Post July 14, 2024.
Shameless lefties on social media came under fire for celebrating the assassination attempt on Donald Trump – with some even lamenting that the shooter missed and that it was “close to being the best day ever.”
“We were a second away, we were a centimeter away from half of the problem being gone and you missed!” the poster – who appeared to be driving while recording – cried into the camera.
“There was a white man attached to that trigger, I know it! We were a centimeter away!” they added.
A TikTok user also shared a compilation of other TikTokkers celebrating – and joking about – the shooting, which also critically wounded two other bystanders.
In one video, the poster held up a candle and sarcastically tried to summon the spirit of John Wilkes Booth, the actor who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
“John Wilkes Booth, if you are with us, please, please…” the person said before trailing off and snickering.
“We’re not even sending our best to f–ing assassinate,” another video claimed.
If the same thing happened to a Dem candidate, there’d have already been a holiday, a commemorative coin, etc, etc.
Incitement to commit a crime is itself a crime—especially when committed by someone in a position of power, whose words are likely to provoke an imminent unlawful action.
Eggplant day
An assassination attempt (nor a successful assassination) is not an event worth making a holiday.
They consolidated Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays into “president’s day”
Once they get that guaranteed minimum income going I want every day to be a holiday.
Uh...no. There are too many federal holidays already.
“Juneteenth” is a joke as is MLK day. The others are probably okay. Maybe there should be an unpaid “Miscellaneous and Sundry Holiday” where everything else gets celebrated. Examples of things to celebrate:
Conservative, straight, Christian, white men
Conservative, straight, Christian, white women
Electrical engineers who attended the University of Washington and graduated in 1982
Servers in restaurants who start their shifts at or before 6:00 a.m.
Football players who never got arrested for doing drugs or alcohol during their college and/or NFL careers
Straight WNBA players
Hockey players (at all levels) who never got their front teeth knocked out
Hockey players (at all levels) who actually got their front teeth knocked out
Hockey players (at all levels) who never knocked out someone else’s front teeth
Hockey players (at all levels) who actually knocked out someone else’s front teeth
Just a few ideas! There are probably many more that folks here think are worthy of celebrating.
Not fully thought out.
Both are stupid AF ideas.
How about GOP vacation month? For 10 months 3 weeks of each month is GOP vacation month...
