Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from #religious conviction.

This 4th of July, I am angry and dismayed. I'm disgusted by our federal government generally and particularly by its absurd approach to commemorating 250 years of American history. I'm horrified by the Republican Fascist control of the federal government and numerous state governments.
But this just means that I am indeed observing the Fourth. It is precisely because I'm keenly aware and appreciative of the Declaration of Independence that I can't help the anger, dismay, disgust, and horror. 1/

@VedaDalsette Last year we found sticks from bottles rockets floating in our pool. We have no trees in our yard, but for the sticks to get here they had to clear a huge stand of very tall pine trees. 🤦🏻
Why aren't they using drones in DC? Why are they using traditional fireworks?

This is so representative of the country. We’re living in under Donald Trump right now. I want my country back.

So Trump found an old speech of Sen. Joe McCarthy's to deliver at Mt. Rushmore.
Pity he didn't find, instead, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt speech about the 4 Freedoms! It's time to return those freedoms to all Americans!
