How many tax payer dollars funded this gimmick. They are cutting all the important funding that lives depend on. Nobody needed this flyover to survive.
I have no issue with a sitting president attending an event with the American people. However, if your mantra is extreme efficiency and cutting waste—while labeling things like cancer research and veterans’ benefits as waste—you have no business participating in events like this.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, take a lesson from Biden. Get out of our way. Do it now. Not later.
Biden failed to adapt to the world that had changed around him. He was still living in 1988. You appear to be living in that same reality.
Step aside. We need new party leadership in the senate.

American Blacks have screamed into the abyss about the privilege based "justice" system for as long as I've been alive. It didn't matter to most Americans. In fact, I recall hearing "he should have complied" a lot.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.
