Turns out Christmas was stronger than being “Happy Holidays” sometimes, but weaker than ruinous fiscal policy. Hmmm. Really makes you think.
This is Republicans' Tariff War on Christmas. Happy holidays, here's your vaporised coal fumes courtesy of Trump.
Wow, first time I heard of Sinterklaas being celebrated in the US.
Based on an old Dutch tradition, Sinterklaas is a day-long celebration in Rhinebeck where the children are dressed up as kings and queens and revered as the bringers of light at a dark time of year.
This sounds so much more wholesome than how we celebrate it over here.
I’m sure they would’ve gotten federal funding from this administration if the celebration had Zwarte Piet(Black Pete)😒
Trumps War on Christmas
Is not time there’s an anti-Fox that spews shite like they do? Like how Newsome is aping Trump?
It’s the only way to get through to the sheep
Who will fund it?
