Donald’s 80th Birthday Event

I'm sure there will be news about it - or maybe a YouTube video or two?

Can't see British channels buying it though!

Oh well, I won't be watching, then.

It was apparently on Paramount+ which you have to pay to see, MissAdventure

On March 25 Trump bought shares in the company running it.

I'd just like to see the whole spectacle of it, and watch Trumpty Dumpty revelling in it all.
He is such a ridiculous caricature of a human.

... yes, a sort of 'world-weary' observer then!

Wrong link.

These are the things I need to celebrate first. Who wants to join me? It can be an adventure.

imaround Janis Ian, At Seventeen. I just had to go to listen to her again, I last saw her on TV when she was on The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Of course this 250th anniversary is about so much more than the ego and whims of Trump though he might well attempt to make it very much 'about him' one way or another.

Because our histories are so intertwined, there are events and exhibitions etc taking place here in the UK too.

Here are all the other things I need to celebrate today before I can pay attention to that man.

I hear Putin has phoned him to wish him Happy Birthday. Yuk !

I thought maybe baby blimps Jaxjacky, the nappy does look a bit like cage fighter shorts?

Trump apparently wanted this benighted 'Peace Deal' over the stupid war he started, signed and wrapped today, his birthday, as a marvellous piece of self-publicity.

Doesn't look like it's going to happen though - Netanyahoo has been naughty and deliberately disobeyed Trump and is carrying on as per usual.

Trump and Melania will just have to seek consolation watching some cultured and sophisticated Cage Fighting.

Will they be pig shaped Casdon?

So, will we get to see the celebrations?
I'll have to have a look if we do.

... I'd like to see the flotilla of tall ships, and the events around the Smithsonian Festival...

you?

I wonder if there will be golden Donald balloons released all over USA to celebrate?

I think he should have pole-dancing women in string bikinis too. That would catch the evangelical voters, wouldnt it?

In the broader sense of the word - Pastor Bobby Leonard of North Carolina could be deemed an 'evangelical'. It's old hat now but a video is re-circulating on Facebook where said Pastor railed against women wearing shorts instead of 'pants' and dresses, so he'd possibly have an apoplectic fit if hew saw women dancing in string bikinis!

He was the Pastor who told his congregation back in 23/24 that he wouldn't vote to convict a man who's accused of raping a woman if she wore shorts.

Because, "a man's a man. A man's a man"...

Lord knows what punishment he'd think suitable for a woman in a string bikini!

I'm so done with the American Christian Nationalists.

Well, you did ask.

King Charles and Queen Camilla: As former avid participants, they frequently rode with the Duke of Beaufort's Hunt prior to the ban. King Charles even lobbied the government before the ban, defending the sport as a "romantic relationship with dogs and horses". Their former hunt has remained a frequent target of monitoring by animal rights groups regarding alleged illegal activities

The Royals must be called out for their obsession with wildlife slaughter - Protect the Wild share.google/LWjvX79FWJHL9zMiP

Tacky as ever.

I thought the cage fighting thing was a joke at first, should have known better …

It's actually a very skilled sport, covering many martial arts.

I can't speak for what Trump's party will be like, though.
Anything with him around is bound to be tasteless.

Our own royals were always quite the fans of blood sports.
That's if it's "sport" when it's not byween willing, evenly matched participants.

Yes, they were! Horrible. However, it was an indulgence rather than a spectacle to entertain the masses.

I believe, from what I've read so far, that cage-fighting has cleaned up its act and it's now more of a display of martial-arts prowess. It was once banned in some States but that's no longer the case, so I think it's come into the main-stream field of 'sports entertainment'. It would bore me to great yawning sobs, but then I'm not its target audience.

What with that and the high-speed street race, it's going to be quite a macho affair, but there will also be the month-long Smithsonian Festival and an international tall-ships flotilla, plus the State Fair - and a massive firework display (among many other events) - so there will be something for every American.

I really can’t think of anything more distasteful to do for a birthday treat than to watch cage fighting.

He does let himself down, doesn’t he?

I’m sure his wife has the good sense to stay well clear.
