Prompted by an article I read this morning about how red hats fetishize the Declaration of Independence and are planning public readings of the document this week, I gave it a re-read this morning.  It's fascinating as a historical document, but people forget that it has no role as an establishing document for our government. 

One aspect of the document that caught my eye at this particular moment in our history is the listing of grievances and evidence of tyranny presented against King George III.  Couldn't help but notice some striking parallels with our wannabe tyrant:

  • He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither... Concerted effort to delegitimize birthright citizenship
  • He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices... Though he hasn't been completely successful with this, it's clear that he considers the judges he appointed beholden to him
  • He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance... DOGE
  • He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures... Mobilizing the CA guard without consent from CA governor or legislature
  • For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us... Marines in LA
  • For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world... Tariff war
  • For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.. Tariff war
  • For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury...  Suspension of due process for deportees
  • For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences... El Salvador prison - but this one's a stretch I guess since Trump offers no pretense of a trial
  • He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us... January 6th

Except for the last one, this is all in just the last 5 months.

I’ve set up a large automated system to safely launch all of my fireworks on the day. I call it the Firework Sky Demolition, or FSD.   It’s completely safe.  

I am buying one of these sumbitches, but probably not shooting it off on July 4 (unless we are that lucky).  No, I am saving it for a special day that will eventually come (wink, wink).  I also have two bottles of champagne perpetually cooling in the fridge also for that day.

Demacracy?

The message on the bottom right should say use spellcheck on your sign else you risk ridicule in perpetuity.

The DoI readings by trumpkins are akin to Fortunate Son and Born in the USA being played at Dotard rallies.

These were buy one, get one. I lit the first one on the night of Biden's inauguration.

I'm not celebrating shit, other than getting Turntine. This feels like having a birthday party for a family member who is dead. 

I celebrated by reading the Declaration of Independence and noting how applicable it is today

What, exactly, are we supposed to be celebrating today?

 The fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.

I am celebrating the values I believe made the USA great. The greatest of these is that diversity is strength.

Went to parade this morning in Canyon, TX with grandkids. Lots of fire/ police/ recue vehicles.  Horses & farm/ ranch stuff was expectedly prevalent.  Multiple groups of veterans/ VFW/ and other associated entities marched by.  Construction vehicles were awesome and thoroughly enjoyed by my 3 YO grandson.

Towards the beginning of the procession, this jeep goes by with White Panthers on the hood and doors.  I thought it said "We the People on the front fenders.  NOPE.  It straight up said "White People."  I was like, " What in the everloving fuck is that doing here?" Trump flag on the back sealed the deal.  People were clapping as the veterans had marched on by.  They booed the jeep.

I celebrate the freedom that exists to allow that expression to be made.  I felt like it had no place in that environment, as did others.  I was grateful that my grandson was too young to ask WTH White Panthers were. 

It was still weird AF.  Those fuckers are out of their minds.

Our plans fell through so we just hung out at home doing some work in and around the house and errands.

Fight with the parents in the hookem house! Had to take my 3 year-old upstairs when my dad slammed his hand on the couch and said that fox wasnt the only place he got his news.

I visited the National Archives in May.  Very cool.  Takes about an hour with a timed ticket.  I am amazed that the common folk can get that close to the real founding docs.  However, it would kinda not be America if everyone couldn't go take a look for themselves.

If you would like to check it out from home, the Archives has a great website with document scans and articles about the docs.  The website has smaller versions that you can click on or larger ones you can download.  The actual documents are pretty faded, although the Constitution is in better shape than the Declaration and the Bill of Rights.

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs

The scans on that site look almost exactly like what I saw in person on display.

I was looking at the scans before I went and I saw a handprint in the corner of the Declaration.  Sure enough, when I got there, you could see the handprint.

the founders would be aghast at the current timeline, the abject intentional stupidity of 1/3rd of the population and our willing, deliberate, intentional rush to destroy the planet and human civilization while inflicting as much abject cruelty as possible along the way

There’s also Newsmax and Facebook!

At the beach after work waiting on the grand Wailea fireworks and the vibes are very much down. Not nearly as much RW&B swim wear as last 2 years.

Not even the swim wear was spared. Is there nothing they won’t take from us?

The cuts are definitely trending more Brazilian, so not all bad

Popped off several hundred dollars worth of fireworks which is not a lot of fireworks. Thanks Trump for the inflation. 

Threw some fireworks at the feet of young teenage boys who were invited over by my daughter while holding a dram of whiskey.

Why was your daughter holding a dram of whiskey when she invited them?
