Beyond Juneteenth, I wonder which other holidays Trump would like to eliminate?

What businesses are required to be closed for holidays?
The irony here is that he’d like to take us back to a period when blue laws were common.

40% would rather their taxes go to Elon Musk and Trump than feed starving children.

Got to love it when a man who doesn’t work for a living says the rest of us want to work more hours.

Reminds me of the Chris Rock bit about Arizona not having MLK’s bday as a holiday. All you have to do is not work. How racist do you have to be to rather work than have a day off for MLK’s bday.

In 2020, Trump campaigned on making Juneteenth a national holiday.

Just another example of the utter aimlessness of this administration.

Rhymes with it. Shameless seems more correct. "A husband to every wife, a wife to every man..."

Max Miller is lying. For one thing, he can't seem to make up his mind where he is.

Someone turned himself in for the road rage incident, so I guess Max Miller wasn't lying. Sort of shocking, really; I figured this to be Nancy Mace bullshit. I don't know -- turning oneself in isn't a measure of guilt, but it certainly helps Miller's story.

For nations opposed to funneling $hundreds of millions to Trump, this strategy presents a less expensive alternative.

I just complained six times in a single post about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize (including a thing India denies I did and two that have not come to pass) but I don’t care!

That said, a treaty between Rwanda and DR Congo would be great.

DR Congo and Rwanda sign draft peace agreement

Provisional agreement aimed at ending fighting in eastern DRC expected to be formally signed on June 27.

www.aljazeera.com

“… Eastern DRC has been riven by conflict for decades, with armed groups competing for access to natural resources. Fighting in the region escalated in January when the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group captured Goma, the mineral-rich area’s largest city. A few weeks later, the group seized the strategic town of Bukavu. Rwanda denies supporting the rebels.

Thousands of people have been killed in the region and hundreds of thousands of others displaced since the conflict intensified earlier this year.

Several of the parties to the conflict have been accused of carrying out human rights abuses.…”
