Sesame Street on "A Capitol Fourth" Thursday July 4, 2019

[mbmfrog]

Looks like Sesame Street is coming to our nation's capitol to celebrate the 4th of July with the annual A Capitol fourth special on PBS. Usually I would be happy to see the show honor in such a manner, but considering WHO IS CURRENTLY IN OFFICE and his temperment.....well let the jokes fly.... . Either that or avoid it like the plague.

VCR Alert: Celebrate Sesame's (and America's) Birthday on A Capitol Fourth - ToughPigs

The Sesame Street 50th anniversary tour heads to the U.S. Capitol to celebrate Independence Day! (Because 50 is greater than 243.)

However as fans of Sesame Street: What do you think of this ?

I won't go into great details out of respect and to avoid revealing who said what, but when I met the SS cast at the Knoxville Fanboy Expo a couple of years ago, one of them told me that they had been invited by the White House to appear at some sort of an unspecified event, but that they did not accept the invitation for that very reason, as he represents pretty much the exact opposite of everything that SS has been teaching for nearly 50 years.

But what makes this different, supposedly, is that he won't be there at this event.

The President is not often at this event, if ever, I believe.

Current President is throwing his own pity-party event elsewhere in Washington that night.

Translation: he’s off to another one of his numerous golf trips.

And on our taxpaying dime too.

Hey, it's even costing us our tax money to keep these kids in these concentration camps.

But, that's not what this thread's for; we can complain about all of this in other threads.

Anyway to not derailed this to be talking about our current president, who do you think is going to be there?
I’m speculating Big Bird, Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster. I would love to see Grover and Ernie as well.

Double post: Sorry for this but Toughpigs posted a roster of characters who’ll appear: Big Bird, Abby Cadabby, Rosita, Elmo, Grover, Bert, and Ernie. Kind of weird no Cookie Monster.

Forgive me for asking you this question, but just HOW FAR AWAY the President’s 4th of July thing is from “A Capitol Fourth” taping ?

I am ask this question given how elaborate our current President wants HIS 4th of July thing to be made into. I mean army tanks at a 4th of July celebration and you cannot believe where some of the cash for this is coming from.

Now that the show is on, we're moving the discussion here.
