Fair CANCELLED: cause there's Nobody Home...- Mockler

1. Nooooo! The most shambolic event ever is no more?

Think of the lost opportunities to screw up the minds of visitors to DC! People won’t discover how messed up America is with Trump at the helm, disgustingly destroying all he touches.

2. Think of the expense,

removing 2 chairs and a poster board.

Like all the money for his inauguration, where is all the cash donated for the original version of this fair?

Milwaukee is a smaller city but Summerfest on Lake Michigan kicks ass!

Even P.T. Barnum could operate a fair!

[PatSeg]

3. Yep, still no one knows where all that Inauguration cash went

4. Even when Summerfest was begun back in 1968

It was rocken. Used to go every year. But after Tom Petty died we only went a couple more times. Once to see Foo Fighters and once to see Mary J Blige. Got too expensive.

6. I remember the Foo Fighters.

I remember getting rained on in 1971 watching BS&T, (RIP DCT)
AND Carlin getting arrested.
That's back when they had an "Acid Rescue" tent.
It was all dirt! Our own Woodstock in the beginning.

7. I kinda liked it better when it was dirt and grass

And the stages were just boards up on concrete blocks. The bands were closer to the people. But with it as big as it is now I guess the need for real stages and concrete walkways was real. At least it's easier to wash the vomit from the drunks away.

5. Expecting crowds on weekdays or even a weekend before the actual holiday

shows a deep misunderstanding of this country and its eople, to say the least.

People have to go to work on weedays. People would rather sleep in on the weekends and then catch up on chores. Even on the coming weekend, when the crowds will be there, a lot of people are going to give it a clear miss because they'd rather spend the day with friends and family eating burnt hot dogs in their back yards, maybe going out to watch town fireworks after dark

In addition, DC isn't Iowa. DC is a very black city and they know damn well they're not wanted ar anything Fatso's crew dreams up and there went at least half of any expected crowd.

This might have been a better idea had it been done by an administration that welcomed everyone and didn't try to turn the Mall into Cornball USA. 3 miles of it is just too damned much of it, resulting in sore feat, cranky kids, and heat stroke. It's half assed Republicanism at its finest and most tone deaf.
