      Only non-witches get due process.

        Actually the federal holiday is still officially known as Washington’s Birthday.

        Only non-witches get due process.

            No, no, no. The land surveyor and general.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Since Jesus Christ is always everywhere could He not be considered American?

              And a lot of Veterans were/are American.

                June 19th is a shitty time of year to have a holiday. All the graduations just happened as has Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. People are just gearing up for Fourth of July.

                When the holiday happens mid week it’s even worse.

                It’s just stupid. At least make it a Monday or Friday.

                No one wants to lose a floating holiday for a tues, wed, or Thursday during that time of year. Oh and what about if it’s a sat or Sunday. Is the Friday or Monday off?

                  I'm sure they took the time to consider every angle.
