In February 2025, Republican U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney introduced a bill that would make President Donald Trump's birthday a federal holiday. (www.snopes.com)

Hey, fuckfaces, how about we make voting days federal holidays? Fucken had it with these cunts.

Why would they do that? It would be to their direct disadvantage.

Waiting for that $25 vote verification fee.

Fuck that, get angry, let's yell in their faces so hard that spit lands in Trump's neckgina.

$25? That's just the monthly fee for voter registration. The verification fee is a $250 one-time (per election} payment to match your signature with the signature on your $100 driver's license. /s

I propose a compromise: election day is now moved to 14th June (Trump's birthday) and that day will be a federal holiday. This new holiday will be called "President's Day", which is absolutely 100% a reference to President Trump and no other president and has nothing to do with the fact that it will also be the day that the presidential elections will be held. The federal holiday that previously would have been observed today will be instead named "Freedom Day" in honour of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Hopefully this makes everyone happy

Nah, give us a whole week to vote. Liberty Week.

Sorry, but due to new management, your work is now classified as "essential" and you no longer get Stat days, also your pay is cut by 50%. Just be thankful you have a job 😉

President Donald J Trump Memorial Democracy Week

Edit: In most states, when accounting for early voting days, there are already more than 7 voting days.

No, we're done attaching shitty people to good things. No names.

"Death of the 45th and 47th President Memorial Democracy Week"

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't matter. The vast majority of people do not get federal holidays off work.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fuck it while I'm making demands into the void at others with no power make that mandatory, too.

Hell yeah! Next up, an Australian tradition: Democracy Sausage.
