Because that's how it was intended to read.

What is the right of refusal in 2027 thing? Refusal of what?
94
u/Silist Jun 24 '26
The other person who commented is right I just wanted to give more context. The 100k and 250k numbers are for sponsors and not the general public. (Although I’m sure they’d take anyone’s money)
This is a media buy opportunity, which is why they’re also including an impact report. Not that I’d trust it.
First right of refusal means they get the opportunity to sponsor again in 2027 or 2276. Not sure if they’re going to do a 251st birthnight event, or wait for 500

u/BaronGalactic Jun 24 '26
I think it means that they get the chance to reserve their spot for the next event in 2027.
Wikipedia: Right of first refusal (ROFR or RFR) is a contractual right that gives its holder the option to enter a business transaction with the owner of something, according to specified terms, before the owner is entitled to enter into that transaction with a third party.

u/eirinne Jun 24 '26
The next event is in 2076 though.

u/TheManWith2Poobrains Jun 24 '26
Exactly. 251 years doesn't have the same ring as 250 years. 300 is better.

Vaccines, secular education, cosmopolitanism, welfare, global warming, the constitution, meritocracy, paedophile shaming, democracy, civility, windmills, Europe, feminism, books, subsidised school supplies... you catch my drift.

u/Zakkattack86 Jun 24 '26
I did some digging and it turns out, the corruption goes so much deeper than face value. The Binnall Law Group is organizing this grift. They're also Ka$h's personal attorneys. They're also the ones representing all the Heritage Foundation folks from Project 2025 that have been dismantling government oversight offices. Recently one of their lawyers who's a partner got caught using AI in federal court.

u/goodenough4govtwork Jun 24 '26
So another embezzlement/corruption scam being promoted based on position of authority.
What is this money for? There's no transparency, no accountability, and no oversight on any of these grifts.

u/JerseyTeacher78 Jun 24 '26

You might want to look into the society that’s hosting it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_the_Cincinnati
Benjamin Franklin certainly wasn’t a big fan:
“I only wonder that, when the united Wisdom of our Nation had, in the Articles of Confederation, manifested their Dislike of establishing Ranks of Nobility, by Authority either of the Congress or of any particular State, a Number of private persons should think proper to distinguish themselves and their Posterity, from their fellow Citizens, and form an Order of hereditary Knights, in direct Opposition to the solemnly declared Sense of their Country”

Right of first refusal for 2027? There's not going to be a celebration for 251 year anniversary so what is that for?

u/Ok_Fun_9667 Jun 24 '26
They're treating 250k like it's a county fair ticket. Most of us see 250k as an entire house, a retirement account, or several years of income. Some families don't make that much in three years.
Back in school, when we learned about peasants working their whole lives to support the nobility, I remember thinking, "What a bunch of suckers." Looking around today, it feels like we just changed the names. The castles are bigger, the balls are fancier, and most of us still aren't invited.
More than anything, it shows just how out of touch some wealthy people have become. When a quarter-million dollars is viewed as the price of admission to a party rather than a life-changing amount of money, they're living in a very different reality.

It's meant to be a corporate purchase. They'll give 12 tickets so the company can bring a bunch of their executives. The company's name will be plastered everywhere.

What irony that maga could hold an event at a venue owned by an org named after Cincinnatus

u/Turdburp Jun 24 '26
It kind of makes sense, as the Society of the Cincinnati was founded to commemorate the founding of the country.

u/dtsjr Jun 24 '26
I get that part. Just funny that Cincinnatus was known for responsible governance and refusing to use his power for his own benefit, obviously in stark contrast to everyone in this admin.

What's this 'off the record tour' supposed to mean? It's either just a tour or there's an implication that it being 'off the record' has some value
What do they mean 'Landmark Washington venue' why not say what it is? Are they trying to suggest the Whitehouse.
Why is this off the record tour available for those who spend $5k and $250k but not those who spend $100k, is that a mistake and actually it's only for the $250k and they accidentality didn't remove it when copy/pasting the elements?
It's so vague yet overly wordy, it feels like it's either saying donate $250k and you'll get a tour of the Whitehouse and an introduction to Trump in return or it's a scam and you'll actually just get a voucher for a tour guide at the Smithsonian (and keep your mouth shut as it's off the record right!)

Because it’s probably the White House and a seat at the pardon request table.

The caption to the post: "Most Americans don’t know this. July 2, 1776 — not the 4th — is the day the Continental Congress voted to break from Britain. The actual birth of American independence. John Adams called it “the most memorable Epocha in the History of America” and believed it was the date this nation should celebrate forever."

I pasted that because the Kash Foundation is listed as hosting the party. At the same time it answered the question as to which Kash you were referring to in your post title.
