“does not put us further in debt”

Now all of a sudden these CLOWNS are concerned about debt! The country is burning and these fools are worried about debt and holidays.

Juneteenth is celebration of the pagan summer solstice

McConnell wants to put as much race baiting garbage as he can on Trump’s desk to force vetos. Then Trump will be called rasicst by the media and Dems. McConnell mentioned yesterday twice that Trump should not veto a bill that is a “pay raise for troops.” The beltway sewer has no bottom it seems.

"When did “giving the bully your lunch money” ever do anything except encourage the bully to demand more?"

That's a timely and very excellent analogy...

Using the same logic of substituting a made up pandering black holiday for that of someone who did something significant in discovering America, perhaps we should exchange Christmas for made up kwanzaa.

If this passes, it will be seen as a victory for Antifa/BLM.

I’m for this, as I don’t want them to have another holiday. Most of us don’t get columbus day off anyway.

I just wish Juneteenth was in August.

“What these BLM fools fail to realize is that “juneteenth” only exists because WHITE PEOPLE fought and died for it to happen...they sure as h*** didn’t win it for themselves.”

Exactly. Just like women didn’t FORCE men to give them the vote. If you make reasoned arguments that something is an injustice, white men will correct it.
