Joe Ferguson forever

He's just looking to stay out of jail now. Indicted on 7 counts per CNN.

I didn't. Now I do and love it. Overt meaning state officials accepting the agreement, at least in principle.

C'mon man. They were slaves and fugitives freed from overt threat. Let them call it whatever they want.

it's what the people celebrating their freedom called it. The exact date is fluid because different states had different dates of emancipation. Texas was last on June 19th. It's a perfectly appropriate title.

descendants of slaves, yes. I'll bet they have a great event at the Harriet Tubman underground railroad sculpture on the Niagara. Some amazing stories and proud moments for WNY https://www.niagarafallsusa.com/media/online-press-kit/discover-the-secrets-of-the-underground-railroad/

yeah, Gospel music, Temptations style rock and an ex patient giving a speech will be a big downer...

This will be a good one. The guy organizing it spoke to my Rotary club- obliged to this one.

This is clever, very clever. but wrong.

It's called law and order...

not playing by the rules...MAGA's typical game plan https://www.axios.com/2023/06/07/fox-news-tucker-carlson-contract-breach

please expound. Why is that not a viable possibility given Jan 6 and the angry, pitchfork carrying rubes who still support it?

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Any plans for your day off? I'm going to a celebration of it at a college. You all?

sure let's relitigate the differences. One was on the capitol and the foundations of democracy, elections. One was not. One was organized and encouraged by the second most powerful party in the nation and a sitting president who is leading the run for another term within said party.. One was not. One has an outside chance of authoritarian power. One does not.

Not terrified of trump but of his supporters empowering him. "Be prepared" is always a good motto. There are real and imagined threats. Jan 6 was real.

"The only thing that needs to be done to enslave people is to scare them. If you manage to find a way to scare people, you can make them do what you want.”..Herman Goering Scared of gays. Scared of Blacks. Scared of trans, Scared of immigrants. Scared of socialists. Scared of Antifa, scared of Jews etc, etc,etc... These culture wars are the Republicans strategy lacking any real policies on fixing the real problems facing their supporters: inflation (which is currently 4 points below its recent high), education, health care, the debt, overwhelmingly top heavy distribution of wealth etc. It seems so easy for their leaders to kindle and fan the flames of hate amongst the rubes. No wonder they do it repeatedly. The pride flag does not threaten you. The authoritarian flags do.

Define normal on ppp

Not fat phobic. Love this song

yes. I get what you're saying. Your way or no way. Good luck with that. All the while yelling "Freedom"...

and to many it is not. can that not be respected? morality police are really a thing some places. Is that what you want for the US?

You can't appreciate that these restrictions are in the spectrum of the discussion? What you feel is appropriate just is, right? Out of genuine interest, what clothing do you feel appropriate for a 20 year old woman to wear out?

does your wife go out with her face unveiled? It's a slippery slope towards twerking. better put an end to it.

We prefer more conventional events like bluegrass and jazz fest. But to each his own
