Absolutely hate that traitor's birthday falls on June 14th.

(26,305 posts)It's also the birthday of the person who, for years, stalked me. Not malicious stalking. Pathetic, needy, cringeworthy stalking.
All in all, not a day that inspires me to celebrate.

(17,045 posts)I feel like the people in my area have co-opted our flag to represent their traitor cult, so I haven't flown a flag outside for a long time.

(2,025 posts)Nobody really cares about its meaning. Its nothing but a day for trash to display their jingoism. An American flag will never fly over my house, on that day or any other.

(17,045 posts)I try not to hate or love people I don't know. But threw that idea out the window with traitor. He is like chalk on a blackboard-always was, always will be. I can't stand to look at him, or listen to him. Stopping before I go into a full-blown rant :/

My other son was born the day after my bday
So, my son would tease my daughter:
"I was born the day after the 4th of July
JG was born the day after Mom's birthday
And you were born the day after Hitler's birthday!"
That's how I knew Hitler's BD!
