Dear MAGA: 20190422 Open Topic

This Easter Monday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

Wait…’Easter Monday’?

Yes, Easter Monday. It’s a thing. It is referred to as “Easter Monday” on the White House site that gives us a history of the annual Easter Egg Roll:

The White House Easter Egg Roll officially dates back to 1878 and the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes, but first-hand accounts suggest that informal festivities began with egg-rolling parties under President Abraham Lincoln. Starting in the 1870s, Easter Monday celebrations on the U.S. Capitol’s west grounds grew so popular that President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill that banned the rolling of eggs on Capitol grounds, citing landscape concerns. [emphasis mine]

In 1878, a group of bold children walked up to the White House gate, hoping to be allowed to play egg-rolling games there. President Hayes told his guards to let the children enter, and soon Easter Monday on the White House grounds became an annual tradition. President Benjamin Harrison added music to the festivities in 1889 with the United States Marine Band.

These are the traditional wooden Easter Eggs that will be given out this year:

Today, the 141st White House Easter Egg Roll will be hosted by First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald J. Trump.

Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. In fact, our host Wolfmoon encourages us to use it…and Enjoy it. “Use it or lose it”, he tells us.
But please keep it civil. Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.

Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful:
Top Image: Is President Trump, at last year’s Easter Egg Roll, seated at a table and surrounded by children. He has a fatherly look on his face, is holding a pen and saying something to one of the children. It was chilly for last year’s event, so he is wearing a dark top coat and the children are wearing jackets.
Second Image: Is a black and white photo of the White House grounds, during the Easter Egg Roll in 1923. There is a large crowd of children and adults in period clothing. It is a sunny day but must have been chilly, since they are all wearing sweaters and coats.
Third Image: Is a picture of five brightly painted wooden Easter Eggs, made to commemorate this year’s Easter Egg Roll. The solid colored green, pink, gold, red and blue eggs have a glossy finish. The gold one bears the Presidential Seal and the others have a picture of the White House, each identified with the year and name of the event.
Fourth Image: Is a view of the White House during last year’s event. It is shot through the flowering cherry trees and tulip trees and shows the crowd that has gathered on the grounds. It was overcast that day.
Fifth Image: President Trump is walking away from Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn. He is wearing a long topcoat and looks deep in thought. There is a Marine standing at attention beside the steps of the chopper. Beyond Marine One is a fountain in full spray and in the distance is the Lincoln Memorial.
Sixth Image: Is a moving gif showing a Polar Bear who is so exhausted that his head and shoulders are down on the ice…but his hind end is in the air and he is pushing himself along with his back legs. This appears underneath “Yes, it’s Monday.”
Bottom Image: Is a picture of a tan bag with a clear plastic window showing the delicious-looking coffee beans inside. Beside it is a navy blue coffee mug filled with coffee, with a large ‘Q’ on it. The coffee bag has the word “Quality” above the clear window, with a large smoky ‘Q’ in a different font than the other letters. Below the window is the word “Covfefe”.
