You talking about the thing that 99% never heard of until this year? Well no matter.

It's tomorrow. Try to keep up.

People who have studied history know what Juneteenth is, not because Trump told them. In fact, I would bet that Trump had to be told what the date signified.

Donald Trump is inciting violence again. That is shameful and the truth. You know this as well as anyone, as that is why you have to resort to attacking and lying about others' posts as opposed to mounting any type of coherent or credible defense of the most racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, cruel and inept president to hold the office that he desecrates daily.

There, you wanted name calling, now you have it!

You know you just slit your own wrist to win argument over how sharp a knife might be.


(they really aren't as smart as they think they are)

oh, I forgot. liberal circles have resident historians on staff. they probably also know when international ice cream day is. they have to, if they want to avoid freezing those huge brains.

By the way, you are wrong about how I know about Juneteenth. I read about Juneteenth in a book about Texas back in the early 2000s. If this doesn't suffice for you, then it's you with the problem, not me.
Fail

George Washington wasn't a confederate.

George Washington statue is covered in a burning American flag before being toppled by Portland protesters in Oregon

You've been posting here for 6 years. Have you ever made a "Juneteenth" post here prior to this month?

I wouldn't know; I'm a moderate Independent. I've just read and studied a lot. It's useful sometimes.

I have noticed this about you people. are you also a resident scientist? fact, if it's not a national holiday, the vast MAJORITY of people have no clue what it is.

Probably like Millions of Americans, Juneteenth was unheard of until a week or 2 ago.
What if he planned it on Washingtons Bd or MLK day? What would be wrong with that?

And maybe he wanted to celebrate juneteeth and have AA's show up.

And what did YOU do today to celebrate Juneteenth? Nothing I'll bet.
