“Your” res ipsa! (as jbird would put it)

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.

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.
