NPS Ends Free MLK Day Admission, Adds Trumpf’s Birthday

The malevolent Trumpf junta has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to America's national parks, removing two holidays celebrating people of color and adding the Dotard-in-Chief's unpopular birthday.

The National Parks Service (NPS) charges admission fees that range from $3 to $30. On several holidays, those fees are waived. The Department of the Interior, led by good-for-nothing billionaire Douglas James Burgum, removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free admission days in US national parks.

MLK Day is an annual federal holiday that falls on the third Monday of January, close to the slain civil rights leader's 15 Jan birthday. Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery in the US, was celebrated on 19 Jun.

Visitors to America's 116 federal parks that charge entrance fees will now pay for MLK Day and Juneteenth, but will enter for free on Dummkopf Trumpf's 14 Jun birthday, which the sycophantic oligarch added to the list.

Surprisingly, the cancerous Trumpf junta did not add any of the several Confederate Memorial Days to the NPS list which are repugnantly commemorated in the Deep South: 18 Jan (TX), Fourth Monday in April (AL, FL), Last Monday in April (MS), 10 May (NC, SC), 3 Jun (KY, TN).

Dummkopf Trumpf and his avaricious cronies are also trying to gut these same national parks and sell off our treasured public lands. Selfish mega-oligarch Mark Zuckerberg recently bought a mountain in Maine, to the utter disgust and dismay of the locals who are now prohibited from hiking trails they have enjoyed for decades.

I've said many times that Trump now thinks that he is a god.

Is there anyone here who thought that this was a joke?

White pettiness.

White pettiness, greed, racism, and megalomania, all choking us at once.

America will take decades to recover from the damage done by Dummkopf Trumpf after not even being in power one full year (if China doesn't eclipse America before then).

At the end of the First World War, the Osmanli Dynasty was so desperate to cling on to power, they negotiated most of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul, and Anatolia away to the Allied Powers, leaving the Ottomans a rump state around Ankara. The Ottoman nobility didn't give a damn about their subjects or their lands, they just wanted to hold on to their wealth and power, even if it meant ruling over a broken vassal state: i.redd.it

This is similar to the era we are in now. Political leaders, oligarchs, and elites who don't give a darn about the people or their environment, just their greedy self-interests of making money and staying in power, damn the hoi polloi.

That linked map was why Mustafa Kemal Pasha Ataturk was able to marshal the people of Turkiye and kick out both the Allies and the treacherous, self-serving Ottomans, making way for a modern Republic void of nobility.
