They have enough free ponies. No more holidays to celebrate their skin pigmentation and half trillion Platinum program boondoggle to buy them. Leave that to the Democrats. You’ll never be able to outbid the Dems.

Taxation of labor is slavery.

Slavery has not been abolished.

Hey what is another $600 million! Fed printer goes “Brrrrrrrrrrr”. Am OK with it IF they eliminate 1 or 2 federal holidays for every one they add.

Stop pandering to minority voters. They don’t matter if you can’t secure the white vote.

Bad idea. We have enough federal holidays as it is and stop with the pandering.

Whites have a holiday everyday. That’s what I’m told when asked.

Well, when I pass by food stamp outlets I see lines of blacks celebrating their holiday.

Definitely a bad move. Its pandering and the optics will not resound well with his original supporters. Most are sick to death of politicians playing up to different demographic groups just to get that voting block. It’s got a snake oil salesman feel to it.

Juneteenth is a White holiday. It is an acknowledgement of the fact that white Americans did the right thing and gave freedom to those who did not have the power to win it for themselves.

If Blacks want to celebrate that, I see it as a giant “thank you” day.

One might think it would be on the day of the Emancipation.

I am not sure who is more stupid...the people who think this is a good idea, or the people who believe this is when the slaves were emancipated.

Do we ALL have to bow down to these people?

My thumbs are slow on the phone.

I was much quicker when I had a desk top set up way back when (Pre Obama Care).
