Performers now out of Trump's bogus America Fair.

[edhopper]

Martina McBride
Young MC
Milli Vanilli
The Commodores
Morris Day & the Time
Bret Michaels

Left, for now,
Vanilla Ice, C+c and Flo Rida

This is going to be delightfully embarrassing.

1. They lied to peeople

Told the artists this was a bipartisan event for unity and it turns out it's a Trump rally.

[Ms. Toad]

4. This doesn't pass the smell test.

I have no doubt they were lied to. But anything named Freedom 250, in Washington DC this summer, is going to be a Trump appropriation of our 250th birthday, and an ounce of common sense should have told them so.

[Tanuki]

7. I think it is entirely possible that Martina and some of the others

signed on to the bipartisan and inclusive America250 before Trump corrupted, politicized, and rebranded it as Freedom250.

13. They should each sue the Administration for $10 billion. (nt)

[Ms. Toad]

33. Did they sign on before December 2025,

When Freedom 250 launched?

[niyad]

8. Thank you.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. I think they were lied too

But also that they kind of knew what the deal was and then pulled out after backlash.

[Wiz Imp]

18. Keep in mind, that it was unlikely the artists themselves directly agreed to appear.

It was their agents who saw it as a good payday and weren't concerned about the optics for their clients. As soon as the artists were informed of the specifics of what they "agreed" to, they were likely horrified and that is why they are all dropping out.

[peppertree]

22. The only thing missing, will be the troops being forced to wear Scottish kilts in the summer heat

(well - one hopes)

[dem4decades]

2. Flo Rida, that should be fun. He'll probably show up hours late anyway.

[peppertree]

20. Being from Haiti, he DOES know what Cheeto and his Chumpkins think of him - right?

I'm sure the dog-and-cat meat hors d'oeuvres jokes will abound that evening.

[EYESORE 9001]

3. Milli Vanilli canceled?

The horror. The horror.

[peppertree]

10. Blame it on the rain

[Aristus]

17. ...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Imagine throwing a HUGE party and NO ONE shows up?

This is what this fiasco is turning out to be!

Good! More performers bowing out, empty seats, etc. To bring the ratings down, DO NOT WATCH!

I will be at my annual Sci-Fi convention at the Hyatt -Regency in Minneapolis.

[BlueSpot]

6. Maybe he can get that squeaky tank again

[travelingthrulife]

19. Or maybe a group of soldiers singing Fortunate Son.

[Wednesdays]

29. OT, but happy 21,000 posts!

Kudos to your milestone!

[Monsieur_Grumpe]

11. I hear Kid Rock is still available.

[PatSeg]

12. And what about Ted Nugent?

[peppertree]

21. They'll have to hose him down first.

[PatSeg]

23. Ha, ha, ha!

Though I'm not sure anyone will be there who would notice.

[peppertree]

26. True.

He and his pal Cheeto both.

[PatSeg]

32. I was thinking the same thing

They both have a "stinky" reputation.

[Wednesdays]

30. If this graphic is accurate, Kid Rock is already in.

[FakeNoose]

14. I think he can get some impersonators, like Elvis and Michael Jackson characters

If they won't do it, then go with animatronics characters ... y'know, the robots that have no scruples or political convictions. Disney can probably lend some of theirs to Chump.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

15. It's rapidly devolving into four hours of a DJ playing YMCA while a stream of...

... sycophants and suck-ups like Li'l Mikey, Lindsey Graham, Ken Paxton, and "The Cabinet Dancers" all take their turn at doing the double-jerkoff dance while he sways and smiles weirdly off to the side between naps and racist "Truths"--all under a completely hilariously ironic "Freedom 250" banner.

Because "freedom" in [REDACTED]'s America is really only the "freedom" to humiliate yourself for his pleasure.

Have fun with that Lindsey!

[wolfie001]

16. Poor fat slob. I feel so bad

[calimary]

25. I don't!

Sheesh! You could do a horror movie based on that “Thing” coming at you.

[ChazInAz]

27. I've always pictured him as Baron Harkonnen.

[TommieMommy]

24. Good 👍

[kentuck]

28. Kid Rock will be the evening's entertainment.

$60 million dollar celebration and Kid Rock will be the main event.

[Warpy]

31. Military bands, splashy fireworks, done and dusted

and Fatso could be tucked into bed before his sundowner's became too obvious.

Celebrations will be local.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. This made me smile
