What better way to bring Americans together on something we can all agree to love? Please fill the skies with smoke. Please dine on delicious seared flesh. Please gather all of your friends, all of your family, all of your neighborhood, all of your coworkers together to feast on this beautifully-placed new American Summer holiday!
What was born of division and chaos will be co-opted into a celebration of our commonality as Americans.
This and every Juneteenth going forward shall be declared the National Day in Celebration of Barbecue.
I say this to people and they respond with "If that were true, wouldn't it be on the news? Who wouldn't want to report something this huge?" They might be willing to believe massive corruption in DC but won't believe the media is part of it.
Something definitely went wrong with American Christianity about 200 years ago. The Way of Christ was replaced with the rules of Paul. The Bible Belt with the constant Heaven or Hell browbeating just creeps me out. I went through Plain Old Nothing church, Pentecostalism and Evangelicalism before I realized I was most fulfilled in a small group Unstructured Quaker setting. However, Paul's writings were more prevalent than the OT and the fulfillment of Christ. 'Do what you're told' was still the norm. I can't find a denomination that doesn't concentrate on the writings of Paul so I'll settle on thinking of myself as a Messianic Jew. Paul is either truly God-inspired or fan fiction from someone who can't shake his Pharisee past. I don't know any more.
I don't think the cabal has any money left to spend. Everyone wants them in jail but for them a worse fate is to become broke and irrelevant. It's a given they all got caught in the massive sting that defined the last ten years. Their punishment is they get to live but they lose all their money and influence.
Votes have nothing to do with this. That problem was solved years ago. If no one showed up to vote the totals would be the same. The goal is to keep the young and dumb passive. Absolutely zero Trump supporters will switch sides, the best they'll get is the hope that fewer brain-dead D-bags will wake up and question what they've been told.
Exactly. The worst possible people made it a holiday for the worst possible reasons. We're making it about unity, not division!
