After all the D artists claimed they don't do political stuff?

Same ones that did multiple Dem events?

I read the article in your link, and the only evidence that it is partisan is what Trump called it, “A rally to end all rallies”, and the fact that some entertainers pulled out citing that it’s partisan but giving no evidence.

Pretty sure this 'Great American State Fair' is a separate deal.

It doesn't matter to the deranged haters of the country, though.

It’s run by Freedom 250, the group coordinating America’s 250th anniversary activities.


This is the problem some people have with it. America 250 is supposed to be coordinating activities, but Trump created Freedom 250 to do it instead.

America250 is the bipartisan organization created by Congress in 2016 to plan historical and educational events for the 250th.

Freedom 250 was created by Trump just two years ago, and is stepping on America 250's toes. Some congress critters have accused Trump of redirecting Congressional funds from America 250 to Freedom 250, and of using Freedon 250's fund raising arm to sell access to Trump. So, they see Freedom 250 as a Trump vehicle.

I dont really care which entity plans stuff, and it seems like America 250 stayed way too under the radar. The Bicentennial started being hyped up in 1973, while the 250th is almost catching people by surprise.

America 250 is supposed to be throwing "America's Block Party" on July 3 and 4, but I dont even know where that will be since the State Fair will be on the National Mall.

Its all dumb politics getting in the way. Trump could have worked with America 250, but then people would find some reason to get upset about that.

Some groups in each of these states should come to their state’s place and set up a booth and celebrate their state’s history.



I've read that is exactly what's happening. Corporations and groups from those states are stepping up.

How many times have you been in a mall and seen shops that are closed? Just have the booths of those states left empty. Maybe the homeless and trans can hang out in them.

Well it is the 250th anniversary celebration for America not a Trump rally. And before you go all in, we had a 200 version in 1976 that was for America, was that a rally for Ford ?

But Pritzker's campaign ads keep telling me that we have a balanced budget and our economy is stronger than ever under his leadership.

He also keeps taxing the middle class into poverty, so how do we suddenly have "budget constraints".
