Well, she, (Patel's girlfriend) just sang the National Anthem for the kickoff of the 250 celebration.

And seriously when did the right get to take over this celebration??? Oh right the “communist” aren’t USA patriots......the right gets to celebrate not the rest of us. FAWK EM ALL. USA USA USA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

5. And two guys separately sang one of my favorites, the Hallelujah song. One was a military guy

in The Air Force Band, and the other was pretty famous, just didn’t get his name.......I do love that song. Wondering how this really belongs at this USA 250 celebration, ya know the whole church and state thing. Oh shoot that’s right, they all wear their little crosses and love their country.....ugh.

6. Was she worth all the money we've spent on her?

Certainly better than Kash no matter what

[yellow dahlia]

7. Of course she did. They have hijacked the 250th.

I feel no connection to a celebration about this milestone.

[Timewas]

8. No celebration

Not for me until we get a real government again.

[purr-rat beauty]

13. Exactly...

Of, For, and By the people

This is just some shit shoved down our throats

9. Here's a secret for orange idiot

Hey tRump did you even know we have a fabulous National Symphony, military jazz bands and you could have planned a spectacular Boston Pops type concert highlighting your favorite American music? Great singers, dancers etc...Fireworks with patriotic music. All government acts. You're a complete uneducated dope of a buffoon without an ounce of class or creativity.

10. Whenever we let them take control of the narrative

Immigration, Back the Blue, Trans Rights, Voting Rights, Vaccines, Patriotism, etc. They have the media advantage unfortunately, but hopefully one day we can match them

11. Ignoring who she's with romantically/politically, she did a good job

The pace was traditional, no frills, just like I would expect before a baseball game. Well done.

I'd guess the elapsed time was half the time it took Jennifer Hudson to sing it, with slow jazzy embellishments, at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

No complaints here.

12. As soon as Hudson started to sing my wife said "uh oh. I think we're getting the Bleeding gums Murphy version" lol
