FFS...

Actually found something even more gaudy, tacky, and embarrassing than hosting a car dealership on WH grounds or forcing a military parade for a birthday...

That's his whole brand

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Just add it to the list of many other tacky things he’s already done

I hate living in this stupid trashy country. Fuck the Fourth of July.

I think we can all get behind explosives as entertainment though

With the amount of damage it does to local ecosystems (like birds), nah. It also traumatizes many veterans with PTSD.

Ya know, I had a thought about this yesterday. The sound of fireworks isn't traumatic for me, but it's easier to tell people that as the reason I won't celebrate the 4th rather than telling them I'm deeply disgusted by our actions on both the global and domestic stage and I am ashamed to be an American, not proud. It's easy to say here on lemmy, but no amount of "being a hero" in the past will prevent the communities veterans tend to be part of from ostracizing you if you question the myth of American greatness.

If only. At least Camacho listened to people on some level other than bribes and sycophants.

He was a moron and extremist, but genuinely wanted to help the country

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It's stupid and tacky so of course he would.

Fuck UFC, always hated it. It always has been a symbol of regression.

Wow if this doesn’t wake people up, then I don’t know. Is everyone going to dress to repress for “respect “?

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

THIS is where you draw the line? JFC your country is fucked.
