Pennsylvania will not participate in President Donald Trump’s 250th celebration of the nation’s birthday on the National Mall, Gov. Josh Shapiro confirmed in a new interview. “This president routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal, and it shouldn’t be that way,” Shapiro told The New Republic, which noted that Trump has described his Great American State Fair as “the most spectacular Trump rally of them all.”

I think it is very widely accepted that if you see an American house, anywhere, flying an American flag, then you know for a fact that the people who live there voted Republican. That says something.

Thanks Sharpie. I don’t think the decent Americans from the other 49 states would mind not having your azhos with their fag flags around. You morons stay the hell home and work on your hatred of America and love of your freeloading, America hating BRAYbors. You don’t GIS about America anyway. Piggies.

TDS instead of highlighting your state.

What fools.

Connecticut and Vermont just had a poster board and 2 chairs as their ‘exhibit’.

I bet California has a model train to nowhere with no tracks.

“This president routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal, and it shouldn’t be that way” — Shapiro

He’s now the most supreme, petulant asshole governor in the country. He eclipses Walz and Newsome with this stunt.

What a sh!thead. We can’t even celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday because of extreme TDS. Of course, Shapiro and all the other similar jerks want the USA in the dustbin of history.

“Trump should make a Pavillion for them”

Great idea! Make nice pavillions for the recalcitrant “Resist” states and rub their noses in it. Let their citizens come to DC and enjoy their state’s representation in the Union in spite of their bitter, little, whiny, small-minded “leaders.”

Old Shapiro can’t tell anyone else that if he had the same opportunity he would do the same thing. He’s a hypocrite at the very least. And the RATS had 12 years proselytizing the demoncRATS position. Phooey on them.

Those who doubted my idea that there is no “civil war” among the Dems, just an evolution to a modified socialist party with lip service to fool the voters——here is an example.
Looking pro-USA and patriotic would make Shapiro look repulsive to the socialists and BLM sector.

In 1960 Rev. Norman Vincent Peale energetically denounced Christians voting for John F. Kennedy. He said JFK would consult his Vatican bosses on anything rather than do what was in America’s interest.

Many people have rejected Jewish candidates as they believed the candidates would favor Israel over the US.

The Dems advising Kamala said to dump Shapiro as a VP finalist because he is Jewish.

Now Shapiro doesn’t want to alienate the mighty and vocal socialists who are the future replacements for Hakeen and Schumer. Sad he is such a weakling.

America is turning 250. Think about that and everything the country has been though. It’s a big deal. And this POS is opting out of a Federal celebration.
