This is just flamebait and belongs in the lounge.

This is not GD material

International Workers Day with base jingoism, its not going to happen. The vast majority of laborers around the world do not forget our American foremothers and forefathers bravery and I am proud that they celebrate it. And am proud that pro-labor and pro-union (as beleaguered as we may be), reject "loyalty day" in the good ole US of A.

(As an aside... foremothers shows up as a misspelling; forefathers does not... interesting.)

nefarious agenda in doing that rote loyalty day declaration per the statute?

More likely that he doesn't give a shit and just does it because it would cause him political problems to become the first president ever to not do it ex post the stautute's enactment--a lame tradition that serves as its own justification.

Loyalty day is a creepy concept, just to be clear where we agree.

for rank and file men and women whose struggle inspired this global event and I believe that he does not give a shit for those who honor them to this day. Not only does he not give a shit but he catapults the propaganda of not giving a shit by promoting a government created "day" of not giving a shit.

Foreparents is also considered a misspelling, but new words and terms are to be coined and brought into circulation. Language is alive in that sense and mutates all the way along.
