4th of july party

I am having a 4th of July cook out with family and friends this weekend. I will not have an American flag or even red white and blue napkins. I am going with a Disney and Mickey mouse them. We went to Disney world in October of last year. A time when America was still great. A happy time. America is not the same place anymore. I hate the thing this country stands for today. Trump is an American disgrace.

Personally, I'll take an American flag over a Disney logo.

Maybe something showing support for labor unions?

Many of them have been fighting Disney Corp. for years.

I despise our so called pResident

I vow to work to correct this wrong that is 'CON in control of all three branches of our government. They simply can't govern
All they're good for is obfuscating and obstructing the issue no matter what it is

you'll get an earful about how anti American you are.

Of course when you quiz them over whether trump's "do you think we're so innocent" line when confronted with Putin, you'll get the standard dumb look.

The kids can make them while the festivities are cranking up! "In the spirit of all that is good..."

But you're still having a 4th of July party. Seems like the holiday the thing. Not so much the napkins.

necessarily a positive reality.

P.S. Surely you don't remember the Bush 8 years as "a happy time"?

really was an example of resistance.

I'm not so partial to Disney. There is lots of racism and sexism in Disney movies.
