trump Announces Liberal War On Thanksgiving

Trump Invents A War On Thanksgiving As His Mental Implosion Over Impeachment Continues

During a rally in Sunrise, Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump appeared to invent a war that is supposedly being waged by liberals on – wait for it – Thanksgiving.

“You know some people want to change the name Thanksgiving,” the president said. “They don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving.”

His ramble continued, “And that was true also with Christmas, but now everybody is using Christmas again. Remember, I said that? But now we’re going to have to do a little work on Thanksgiving. People have different ideas why it shouldn’t be called Thanksgiving, but everybody in this room I know loves the name Thanksgiving and we’re not changing it. ”

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes chimed in on Twitter to say that Trump’s new Thanksgiving theory is something the president “literally just invented today.”

Time for the 25th or a 5150.

“You know some people want to change the name Thanksgiving,” the president said. “They don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving.”

Every time he uses the terms "some people", or "people say" or " I heard", you know he's about to tell a whopper.

I googled it. Nobody wants to change the name of Thanksgiving. Nobody.
But, it riles up his ignorant base. They would believe him if he said that looking up at the Big Dipper causes diabetes. And that the liberals put it there.

Ya, this fits right in with all the "I'm going to call it Christmas no matter what you say" memes that are showing up on my FB feed lately. You know what's funny? I have never seen even one meme saying "Don't call it Christmas?

Wasn’t the ‘War on Christmas’ invented by Bill O’Reilly another sexual predator? I mean seriously....I am an ex-Catholic heathen living in the extra liberal swamp of Seattle with lots of other heathens and we just laughed that insane nonsense off as we trimmed our trees.

I will admit, I have become pretty consistent about saying "Happy Holidays" to certain people.

During the turkey pardon, Trump said "They say turkeys are closely related to vultures", so I knew another lie was coming.

They say no such thing. Turkeys are not closely related to vultures.
Dumbass.

Donnadub’s brother married a Jewish woman. He converted. Four kids with 2 Jewish spouses and 3 Jewish grandchildren. Her sisters bf is Jewish. So happy holidays comes into play. And the Jewish SIL has her bday Dec. 25th!

Me too....

The problem, not really a big one...but when u wish a Merry Christmas to someone u know celebrates the Holiday as it is meant to be celebrated,,the symbolic birth of Christ...they then return the greeting...which is fine...no biggie...but for many of those folks, it may not be the holiday they celebrate..either they are not religious or of another religion that does not recognize Christ as the Savior or of anything..

Thus the Happy Holidays came into play...Just saying.

Conservatives must be so proud to have such a God fearing honest man as POTUS.  

[thyme4change]

What a jerk. He just wants to piss everyone off, just for fun.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I'm sure a dark web site somewhere has created a "War on Thanksgiving" conspiracy and since Trump loves conspiracy theories he gobbled it right up  (see what I did there?)


I hear a lot of talk about not white washing Thanksgiving anymore.  That doesn't make it a "war" on Thanksgiving.  Oh wait yes it does because we are forcing white people to acknowledge that our ancestors were a bunch of horrible douche bags instead of kind smiling tall hat people like you see in paintings.

Our ancestors raped the land and slaughtered indigenous people. I was watching something on Nat Geo channel the other day about how much the eco system in all of the Americas was completely altered by Europeans right from when explorers first set foot on soil.

And it was all done in the name of God too.   If that is the God Republicans are referring too I can understand why they feel he helped elect Trump.

When in doubt about the religious observances (if any) of those you are about to greet this time of year, best to go with Happy Holidays.

I automatically think to greet with Merry Christmas, especially to those I know who do celebrate Christmas or are known to be Christian. For strangers who wish me Merry Christmas I respond in kind. And for strangers who wish me Happy Holidays, I also respond in kind.

That anyone took the time to greet me this time of year in the first place, I'm okay with whatever they wish me.

[weltschmerz]

I have a big Christmas wreath hanging on my door which says "Merry Christmas!", and I'm an atheist.  What's the big deal? The holiday was stolen from the pagans, anyway.

How does one sign up with the anti-thanksgiving crowd?  I can't find anywhere to join.

I'm going to show my anti-thanksgivingness by eating seafood and creme brûlée tomorrow, none of the turkey and stuffing BS you pro-thanksgiving people dabble in.

[steff]

I wish someone would have told me before I started cooking all this food.

If you find out, let me know. I want to get the Secret Decoder Ring and the monthly newsletter.

When i was a kid i thought the Happpy Holodays cards were meant to cover both Christmas and New Years. It was easier than saying both.

And just to be clear, i Happy Holidays the shit out of Merrry Christmas Nazis.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

You know Starbucks does not put my coffee into a cup decorated with turkeys and pilgrims.  And people have been pissed about their Christmas cups for years now.   I am pretty sure that is where we go to sign up.

Here is the Fox News take on the story: Trump vows not to change the name of Thanksgiving despite cries from the 'radical left'

I think it is good to know what they are telling people.

take one for the team and:

" Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken turkey, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh"

From your link:

“The economy is booming. Wages are rising. Crime is falling. Poverty is plummeting. Confidence is soaring. And America is stronger than ever before,” the president said. He also spoke of his administration’s work to create new jobs, take care of the American worker, build a border wall and protect veterans.

We can add this now too:

I have spent my 35 year career working with people from all over the world that did not celebrate Christmas.  I bought 2 batches of Christmas cards, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays.  I tried to get them out to the right people, but inevitably I ran out of Merry Christmas cards.  Those who I knew wouldn't care, I would send a Happy Holidays card to.

It really isn't rocket science.

I only buy Christmas cards that say 'happy holidays' inside. Just to piss off select relatives on my mailing list.

Jesus doesn't give a shit about any of that. I checked. He's pretty disgusted with the whole crass commercial fuck up his birthday has turned into, he's not going to quibble over what the exactly right words are that need to be said during this extended shopping, debt inducing season.
