At the moment we are neither. We are a full-on autocracy with a vile, corrupt, lawless, vengeful buffoon leading the charge. Happy 4th!!!

Ones of people. Brilliant.

Madison would have understood that a republic is a kind of democracy. Saying "we are a republic not a democracy" is as stupid as saying, "that's not a dog because it's a collie."

After a round of golf today I asked if anyone had special plans for the holiday. Everyone said no

This old chestnut

This poor soul is even more tedious than Elizabeth Bennet’s cousin Mr. Collins.

I can't get over picking Madison. Of all the Founding Fathers, he chose the one who was Jefferson's perpetual lapdog who was continually sick. And he's here telling us we're a REPUBLIC not a democracy, which is like arguing about Catsup vs. Ketchup.

I’m just guessing, but I don’t think Trump has ever been to any State’s fair. Save your time, money, and energy….go to your own State’s fair. Loads of fun, info, food, music, animals, arts, etc

An obvious @nytpitchbot.bsky.social tag 🤦‍♂️

The Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department put on a better celebration of The Pawnee/Eagleton Unity Concert.

Not "ones", one.

That sign language guy up there should have been doing tosser the whole time. As for cosplayer, another whiney voice

Misleading rhetoric. Madison narrowly defined democracy as only the pure sort administered by each citizen directly, but he acknowledged that a republic is a representative type of democracy.

And the woman is probably his mom, his aunt or his sister...

I'm glad to see there was an ASL interpreter on stage. I would have assumed Trump's "planning committee" would have blown off that accomodation. It's good they are still there.

That is all that is left of the National Endowment of the Arts?

The person signing for the deaf meant there were twice as many people on the stage than were watching.

Wow, they actually had an ASL interpreter!

We are a democratic republic

I disagree, there is one duo there at least

Who wants to tell him a republic is a form of democracy & that we're a constitutional republic which still is one. They don't even know they are actually fascists. 1st they defunded education, then they indoctrinated nationalism without teaching it's not-see-ism, not patriotism. ...& Here we are.

Please, clap…

Literally ones of people 😂

It’s like arguing you have skittles, NOT candy. Like I don’t know how you tie your shoes in the morning if this is the level you’re functioning at.

Does the one audience member need someone signing this boring speech?

So pathetic. Yet another reminder that MAGA is not only corrupt but also gobsmackingly incompetent and in artful.

And the one person was his mother.

Among these idiots most bizarre talking points. “But it’s a square not a rectangle.”

Is that the slob in the shorts on the stage?

1: Do you believe that transgender people and cisgender people should have equal rights/protections? 2: Do you think that politicians should advocate for or against the above position? 3: If you answer "yes" to both questions, why did you disagree with Parker Malloy's take on what Acton said?

This proves people prefer to see a pig. Just wait till The Donald shows up.

"arguing" seems like a overstatement based on the clip. thank you for your service in attending and reporting back.

I get so sick of this. What he's describing is a DIRECT Democracy. There's like one of those in the world. But here is a pop Quiz: Name the mechanism by which we select representative leadership for our Republic.

“We’re republic, not a democracy” is like saying “I don’t own a dog- I own a border collie!”

has the nytimes pitchbot seen this?

Also, all these soldiers dying for "democratic regime change" in Iraq and Iran, and yet democracy is not good enough for red-state morons in their own country? A Fascist "republic" instead?

That's his mom!

Is the Trump Travel Agency new or did I just miss it?Though how anyone might miss anything that he does is beyond me. It’s the trump show 24/7 as far as I can tell.

Who’s dumber, the creator of a fake picture showing many times the number of people that would be safely allowed in. OR the dumb fuckers who still believe it’s real.

The cat is correct. This is consistently one of the worst among the Right’s bad arguments.

I think he died of heat stroke right after that video was taken

The two are not synonymous. Look at the UK, and a few countries in Europe: they're both democracies *and* monarchies. America happens to be a republic and a democracy, and only the lazy (like that guy in the clip) argue otherwise.

His mother

He should have taken that Renaissance Fair gig

The easiest way to tell if someone had even the most basic polysci course is when they say "it's not a democracy, it's a republic!"

That must be his mon.

Is that his mommy in the audience?

I do love that there’s an ASL interpreter in case that one person is deaf.

It's a German Shepherd, not a dog

The US Constitution established a Democratic Republic. Only hardcore MAGAts can’t seem to understand that. 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂‼️

🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

But y’all. It’s unclear if the performance will end at 10:45 or 10:55.

My bets on this doofus 👇🏻🙄 .... but multi-platinum????

Didn't Flo Rida not renege? Has he sold a million albums?

Good place to go if you suffer from insomnia. That lineup will put anyone to sleep!

Is that how they spell schedule in Russian?

Wouldn’t go if you paid me.

"Horsepower of America"? Who comes up with these names?

Can honestly say I have never heard of any of them. Tuttle Twins? 🙄

A convenient shortcut to stardom

OFFS

The fuckin irony of them displaying the first amendment when they've done as much as they can to trample all over it every chance they get

WTAF

Top right in the pic with the slutty armchairs Enjoy, DC! Y’all gotta take one for the team. (At least you can go out to dinner again. Must be nice.)

Gotta say that looks pretty lame for a NASA display. They took us to the moon. This looks like a last minute pop up booth. Come on now.

Interesting how their is an actual display of the first amendment 😒

Allegory of the man cave right there

I’m dying to know which “American’s” are NOT for prosperity…🫣

“American’s for Prosperity”

itll be lean weezy aka lil wayne LMAOO

Im betting its MC Hammer.

Its probably Nicki Minaj. The seven white people that showed up to thing thing today will definitely appreciate that.

American's for prosperity? Punctuation continues to befuddle Republicans.

Would think Vanilla Ice except for he already backed out, didn’t he?

Is it Nicki Minaj? Yeah MAGA loves her 😏

What a fucking snooze. You can have this "fair", MAGAts--ALL of it.

Schedule has a V in it

This suspense is killing me, who was the multi-platinum hip hop artist? I bet it was Menudo!

The horror! The horror!

I thought it was Horsepower of America but I can't find any of his albums I love the Apostrophe's for Prosperity at the top of the list

Grammar is not their forte.

Cardi B

This is like a Magarnival cruise itinerary q

3:30-3:50 ... bathroom break

Americans should not have an apostrophe.

Schedulev might be his name?

Seriously doubt the 3-day “marriage retreat” is a $700 value.

Did you ask what a "Marriage Retreat" is?

Branson, Missouri?! Is that next to Blaine? Where the stools are made?

Is '3-Day Marriage Retreat' a new reality show?

With MAGA family values, the Marriage Retreat/Getaway is probably for those running from their spouse.

Small crowd. The guy in the orange shirt is in the one photo and beginning of the video.

If only I could be so lucky as to win a three day marriage retreat to Branson, Missouri!!

😆

Where’s the crowd though? That looks to be about 10 people.

$4900 value? Why not $5000? You would think that rounding up would be appropriate here…plus the tacky font and colors is giving used car lot.

Yes. Understand from someone there they had a pool. For baptism but people were cooling off in it.

Our county fair boasts between 4,000-5,000 T-Th each day, Friday, Saturday, 8,000 a day easily. That's people. Generally, there are about 1,000 cows and half as many pigs and goats showing in the arena. At this point, we have more cows, pigs, and goats than are at this thing any day of the week.

How low the NEA has fallen, like all other federal agencies.

That's so much more optimistic than I was thinking. 😅 I figured it was someone else who was filming for the comedic impression left by the lack of audience. 🤷‍♀️

What about the masturbator dressed like Uncle Sam?

We are a democratic republic based on the constitutional model with three branches of government at the federal level. Madison knew this.

Anyone have video of the bootlicking workshop?

Wow America. You have really jumped the shark haven't you?

Wow. You may need to book a bigger venue 😭🤣😂🤣😂😭😅

Senator Mike Lee is a theater kid at heart.

“Ones of people” 🤣😭💀🪦

The words ‘America isn’t a Democracy, it’s a Republic’ wins any argument

Saying we’re a republic not a democracy is like saying your pet is a poodle and not a dog.

Jesus, what have they done to The National Endowment for the Arts? Everything is so sad.

Sounds like the Cosplayer was giving his opinion.

That’s that troll from Twitter.

And hence, the effort to destroy America's democratic republic to remove the will of the people from governance. That is called an autocratic republic. This should be no laughing matter.
