So you know: the Folklife Festival is an annual, free festival on the National Mall featuring cultural exhibits from all over the US and literally around the world. It is BIG and when I lived in NoVA, we'd go every year. There's a different theme every year and it's kind of like if the Smithsonian had a pop-up location that you happened upon by happy accident. Stepping on that should be listed as another crime he should answer for.

It's a shitty thing made by a shitty thing and everyone knows you stole all the money set aside for it so fuck you you half witted thief

Another grift in action. Keep counting, it'll only get worse.
roughingupthesuspect
$100,000,000 for one busted Ferris wheel?

Everybody is going crazy about my book of poetry! Millions sold in the first week! But the dumocrats hacked Apple and Google Books, and made it look like it had no reviews! They even hacked into my account and made it look like no one has purchased it at all! DOJ needs to look into this now!
martiniolives2
Oh shut up.
joenoone
They could of done it, it's that they would know not to do it.
fubizdaddie
Obama actually and literally was in office when it happened so he literally did do it. Why would he know not to do it, exactly?
joenoone
When did he tear up the grounds to make an event named after him but call it a state fair?
IrrationalNumber
Turned a massive anniversary into a funeral.
OmnibusLatinName
If only
silentjay01
If the Wisconsin booth isn't handing out cream puffs made from fresh cream, then it isn't a state fair as far as the dairyland is considered.
yesdearmetoo
I have zero interest in this anniversary. I was happy to hear my State, Vermont, did not participate in the embarrassing event in DC. 802!
Zinsurin
Washington state didn't participate either.
I remember being excited about 225, and was looking forward to 250, but damn it's hard to be excited when it's literally the worst people running the country.
kanybal
Damn, 225 would've been July 2001... How different everything was
RenaissanceFaireMan
"Packed with happy people"? Can't he just look for himself and see its mostly empty?
marsilies
The man's been lying about crowd sizes since his first inauguration.
LaurenTarbelArt
Save this idea for when he's out of office or in the ground. We can dream.

Ya know, 8 years from now you could just celebrate "250 years without Trump". (and yes, I realize 8 years is optimistic)

Everything he says resembles abuser talk.

I was born too late to celebrate the bicentennial, and I always loved seeing the patriotism and camaraderie of those days. I have literally waited my entire life celebrate the semi-quincentennial, and one fucktard had to ruin it for everyone!
Antrobus55
Well, whatever i think, i know you don't, you fucking self-important buttstick.
Aimlockbelch
DC isn’t a state, so it can’t be a state fair. Knuckledragging cousinfuckers!
samanthadlcruz
Looked to me like Obama had a much bigger crowd for the opening of his library than trump has had for his "state fair".
TheWombatStrikesAgain
To be fair, 'dog wearing a hat' had a bigger crowd than that state fair.
samanthadlcruz
pretty sure most of the crowd at his fair were just people that wanted to get pictures of his algae pond
Spoenk
I've seen an MS-NOW clip where there was a panel of a bunch of fox losers saying the fair was "packed with thousands and thousands of people" and afterwards a picture of one of the bands there... reflection in the glasses says it all ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HygL0onkT8 )

What a loser.
HEXtheDark
I read forklift festival and was likewise confused and excited for a moment.
randomwalrus
Have to be certified to get in, only the best of the best attend. So many groupies swarm the event though. Like SO MANY.
DietCokeIsMyDrugOfChoice
Sounds like a real pick-me-up!
UneventfulLover
Pro tip: IF you manage to shovel the shit out and bury it, just subtract the 8 years that you feel you have lost. That will give you ample time to plan. Or just celebrate perpetually. I would.
sfrinlan
I don't think there's going to be any burying possible on this shit show. Maybe we can be a proper country again in time for the 300yr milestone.
UneventfulLover
Agree, I didn't think this through. It will be remembered for a long time. Maybe, just maybe, if you can do a complete remake of the checks and balances system, create watertight compartments where need be, bury citizens united and reinstate the fairness doctrine, shut down all illegal imprisonment, adhere to international obligations and agreements and lock up all corrupt representatives, cabinet members, and family members AND throw the key, we might take you seriously again in another 250...
sfrinlan
Here's hoping, friend. There's a lot here worth saving, but I'm not sure that we'll be able to survive the crushing weight of our failures to get there. No idea when "take us seriously" will kick in again, but not being a complete shit show is a good milestone to shoot for from here, I wager.
UneventfulLover
To hope.

Freedom 250: a for-profit LLC created by the Trump administration, by executive order in 2025.
The for-profit "Freedom 250" has taken most of the federal funding intended for the non-profit "America250".
notreallyaclevername
Go check out the freedom 250 webpage, too. It's absolute Christo-fascist propaganda. Even with a designated prayers page. The sponsors and partners list is a wild ride, too.

notreallyaclevername
Check out their partners. They've got Ben Carson's Bible crap and a ton of other similar Christian organizations
BarryTheCyborg
I pray everyday for his death. Does that count?
KillingTlme
About as much as it does when trying to prevent school shootings.
notreallyaclevername
Submit that prayer to the website haha
notreallyaclevername
I just did haha.

Typical small town NC environment
YibeanVizjerei
Such a strange mix sometimes, because I've heard of similar situation, but when my parents moved to NC to a small town to retire to. They were immediately welcomed to a crazy degree, where they were even a bit skeptical/suspicious. But recently a neighbor passed away and my parents, even not being from here, were seated with the family for the funeral service. And the outpouring of support when my father was in the hospital was astounding.
imaynotbeasmartmanjenny
That is a rarity, but in my experience they're usually just being nosey to gossip around with anyone who wasn't there. This is coming from someone who was born into it. They love being friendly to your face as long as you haven't performed a perceived slight.
LtRooney
I've heard of tea being made by cults but that's the first I've heard of a pickle cult.
GorillaPowers
"Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom." When even a pickle company can read the room
Whatdoyousaytoanicecupoftea
Well, doesn't that just take the pickle
frozenlake247
Well now I have a good reason to try their pickles!

That flag was clearly a dill breaker for them.

Even wilder the north Carolina Pavillion had a couple on separate monitors, and the governor of NC had to call and say knock that shit off.
HelpfulCorn
It was not sanctioned by the state, who had refused to participate
thedarkcanuck
Obuma? Seriously?

"Many people don't know that there's a 'u' in 'Obama'."
TheWombatStrikesAgain
You may not have noticed, since he hides it so well, but the president is an utterly classless, childisch, vulgar wretch who wouldn't know how to spell 'dignity' if you engraved it into a hammer and hit him in the head with it.
And by the way he talks, a lot of people have tried exactly that.
TTeun
I was wondering whether it was an attempt at an insult somehow, or he managed to forget how to spell the name of the man he thinks about half of his waking time.
thedarkcanuck
No its the same thing as Sleepy Joe, libtards, demoncraps, etc. Insults they think make them look witty but just make them look uneducated

“Get it? Because I think he’s a ‘bum.’ And don’t forget ‘dumocrats,’ because I think they’re ‘dumb’ (many people [me] didn’t know that dumb is spelled with a ‘b’). I came up with that all by myself.” - Donald Trump, 80-year-old President of the United States and renowned Statesman.
NZSheeps
I know. He normally adds the Hussein bit
thedarkcanuck
And that's who's representing an entire country.
UserNamesArentEasy
Dude, I didn't even realize it was happening because you only marketed to your shit hole followers who are now to poor to travel to your shitty birthday parties because you started a war with Iran and made gas go up.
HypnagogicHallucinations
Seriously, I just learned last night about the State Fair and that it had already started.
Vengeraxe
I thought all the pics I saw were them still setting it up, not of it actually running. Was wondering why Fox didnt have a live 24hr feed on every channel they own.

jacblake
Still waiting for their phones…l
TheDirtySanchezBros
I mean, those aren’t the only reasons they’re poor.
UserNamesArentEasy
No but when they can no longer afford to travel to his events it shows.
Darklinkinfinite
Voting against minimum wage increases for themselves certainly doesn’t help
mja35
lol no no no, they are poor because they are lazy good for nothings, just look at Elon. Pulled himself up by his bootstraps and became the world’s first trillionaire. They could do the same if they just stop being lazy.
TheDirtySanchezBros
Cant forget the lack of education, lack of affordable healthcare, lack of basic services, lack of public transportation options, lack of proper nutrition, lack of access to real news sources, lack of livable wages, lack of pretty much everything because they’ve been gaslighted by Republicans for so long that they don’t even know what voting for their better interests looks like anymore. This is all by design.
miked854
This. I thought the whole celebration was a UFC fight.
leechdemon
The UFC fight was for the rich. The cancelled 4H meeting was for the poors.
I'm not even making a statement with that - count the tweets, if it's even remotely close I'd be shocked. 🤷♂️
wisher1977
I thought it was to raise money for his ballroom…
BeaverOnFire
They probably still funnel funds from this event into his golden birthday present.
CorvidPrime
Same. And I live just outside DC.
