Independence Day has turned into a wee bit of a joke this year thanks to Joe Biden. It started with Biden telling us that "if we did what we were told," he'd let us celebrate July Fourth in small groups. Then he threatened to take July Fourth away because we weren't listening. Then when it turned out that Biden failed at his goal, he didn't have the testicular fortitude to cancel the holiday. Which was a good thing, since most Americans were going to celebrate the Fourth of July whether Biden allowed us to or not.
But July Fourth was still set as a goal as the "end" of the pandemic. A time to celebrate leaving your house for the Americans who haven't been doing so this entire time. Budweiser has never met a virtue it wouldn't signal, so a special commercial was in order. The company teamed up with actor Bill Pullman for his famous Independence Day speech. Get ready to cringe.
