WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
This land is your land and this land is my land From California to the New York island From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway Saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts All around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me
This land is your land and this land is my land From California to the New York island From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me

Last December, during oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case in which the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that “there’s so much that’s not in the Constitution, including the fact that we have the last word. Marbury versus Madison. There is not anything in the Constitution that says that the Court, the Supreme Court, is the last word on what the Constitution means. It was totally novel at that time. And yet, what the Court did was reason from the structure of the Constitution that that’s what was intended.”
It was a remarkable observation. Sotomayor’s primary intent was to argue that rights and prerogatives need not be explicitly delineated in the Constitution for them to exist. The right to privacy — more specifically, the right to terminate a pregnancy — does not appear anywhere in the document, but neither does the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review. Both exist by strong implication.
WASHINGTON — House Jan. 6 committee members said Sunday that they may make criminal referrals to federal prosecutors involving former President Donald Trump and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Fanning out on Sunday programs to discuss the congressional investigation and its public hearings, committee members said that while no formal decision has been made, they can envision multiple referrals to the Justice Department based on evidence they’ve uncovered investigating the events surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the vice chair and one of two Republicans on the panel, said “we’ll make a decision as a committee” about whether to alert the Justice Department to possible crimes it has uncovered.
“The Justice Department doesn’t have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral, and there could be more than one criminal referral,” she said on ABC's "This Week."
She also pointed to the explosive public hearing last week in which Cassidy Hutchinson, the former top aide to Mark Meadows when he was White House chief of staff, detailed outbursts of rage from Trump on the day he urged supporters to march to the Capitol. “I don’t f---ing care that they have weapons,” Trump said as he urged aides to remove magnetometers near the White House before he addressed a “Stop the Steal” rally, Hutchinson testified. “They’re not here to hurt me.”
“It’s very chilling, and I think we will, you know, continue to present to the American people what we found,” Cheney said.
True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.
True patriots don’t support an attempted coup. They expose it – even when it was engineered by people they once worked for, even if it’s a president who headed their own party.
When serving in public office, true patriots don’t try to hold on to power after voters have chosen not to re-elect them. They don’t make money off their offices.
When serving as judges, they recuse themselves from cases where they may appear to have a conflict of interest. When serving in the Senate, they don’t use the filibuster to stop all legislation with which they disagree.
When serving on the supreme court, they don’t disregard precedent to impose their ideology.
Patriots understand that when they serve the public, one of their major responsibilities is to maintain and build public trust in the offices and institutions they occupy.

Watergate Prosecutor Would Charge Trump with Insurrection July 4, 2022 at 6:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 27 Comments
Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks told MSNBC that charging former President Donald Trump with rebellion or insurrection would prevent him from holding political office again.
She noted that, unlike a seditious conspiracy charge, a rebellion or insurrection charge would see the convicted offender barred from “ever holding federal office again.”
Who lied about Hunter's laptop to change an election outdo

McConnell Seeks to Defuse Cultural Hot Buttons July 4, 2022 at 6:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 63 Comments
NBC News: “The Kentucky Republican’s goal is to downplay the contentious issues on which suburban voters may be more sympathetic to Democrats — including gun restrictions, abortion rights and former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen — to soften the GOP’s image with this group of voters ahead of the midterm elections.
“A Republican leadership aide familiar with McConnell’s thinking said he wants to make the 2022 midterms a referendum on President Joe Biden, hoping that disenchantment over inflation and gas prices will power the GOP back into the majority.”
Said the aide: “Not about Trump. Not about guns. Not about abortion. But about the things that are really keeping people up at night.” ________
SORRY, BUT IT IS ABOUT TRUMP AND HIS LIES, LIES, LIES, AND HE WILL KEEP REMINDING US OF HIS VERY BIGGEST LIES, AND HIS BIGGEST LIE.
AND IT IS ABOUT UNRESTRICTED GUN LAWS AND IT IS ABOUT WOMEN HAVING CONTROL OF THEIR OWN HEALTH AND REPRODUCTIVE DECISIONS.
The Revolution was America’s first civil war On our 246th Independence Day, it is well to remember how much suffering can result from a refusal to countenance other points of view.
By the time the Continental Congress approved the text of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies and Great Britain had already been at war for more than a year. A copy of the Declaration was sent by John Hancock on behalf of Congress to George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army, with instructions that it be read to the troops. Washington readily complied, hoping that the Declaration’s words would inspire “every officer and soldier . . . to act with Fidelity and Courage.” He hoped as well that openly proclaiming that the colonies were now “free and independent states,” no longer subject to the British Crown, would attract more recruits to join the fight “for the Defense of the Liberties and Independence of the United States.”
But it wasn’t only Great Britain with which the Americans were at war. They were at war with each other, too.
The American Revolution, not the bloody conflict between North and South in the 1860s, was the nation’s first civil war. The decision by the colonies to break away from England and its empire was by no means a unanimous one. “Somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of the population retained their loyalty to the crown,” notes the Library of Congress, while committed Patriots — those in favor of independence — accounted for about 40 percent. (As in nearly every conflict, a sizable fraction in the middle preferred not to take sides and just wanted to be left alone.) continues: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/03/opinion/americas-revolution-was-americas-first-civil-war/
Falling Commodity Prices Raise Hopes Inflation Has Peaked July 4, 2022 at 7:41 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 35 Comments
“A slide in all manner of raw-materials prices—corn, wheat, copper and more—is stirring hopes that a significant source of inflationary pressure might be starting to ease,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Natural-gas prices shot up more than 60% before falling back to close the quarter 3.9% lower. U.S. crude slipped from highs above $120 a barrel to end around $106. Wheat, corn and soybeans all wound up cheaper than they were at the end of March. Cotton unraveled, losing more than a third of its price since early May. Benchmark prices for building materials copper and lumber dropped 22% and 31%, respectively, while a basket of industrial metals that trade in London had its worst quarter since the 2008 financial crisis.”
OH NO! CRY REPUGS. IF INFLATION EASES, TRUMP WILL BE THE ISSUE, IN SPITE OF WHAT MCCONNELL AND OTHER GOP BOSSES WANT!
How Did A Zuckerberg Charity Stooge Win A GOP Primary In Colorado? Pam Anderson won a race with no money and very few visible voters
The story of the GOP primary race for Secretary of State in Colorado gets more interesting the more you investigate the results.
As I noted yesterday, the big news is that an Australian businessman named Mike O’Donnell somehow got 28% of the vote (173,000 citizens voted for him!) even though polling showed he had no support, he raised $4,700 for his campaign, and 139 people were following his campaign on Twitter. The most interaction he got on his 1,300 campaign tweets was 4 “likes” on his June 27th tweet; most of them had zero interaction. He went from being a non-factor in a three-person race to grabbing more than quarter of the total vote.
Mike O’Donnell seems like a very nice guy — but can anyone explain his sudden 28% share of the vote in the most important election integrity race in Colorado? Election officials in Colorado had no explanation. Most of the county clerks in the 17 counties that Mike O’Donnell won had never heard of him. Their reactions ranged from confusion to disbelief.
But, wait, there’s more.
The really big news is that Pam Anderson supposedly won the race with 43% of the vote (266,000 citizens voted for her!) which is an unbelievable result — to say the very least.
It’s truly unbelievable because two months before the primary, Pam Anderson was not just losing to Tina Peters in all the polling and fundraising metrics, but her campaign was broke. She had a $5,665 balance in her campaign coffers. According to liberal site Colorado Pols, “this surprisingly anemic fundraising is just more evidence that [Pam Anderson] is a candidate without a constituency…”
Two days after that assessment, Colorado Pols considered Anderson’s campaign dead-on-arrival and added that: “Peters’ strong performance further underscores Anderson’s weakness in this race, running on a message not just disagreed with but considered treasonous by a majority of Republican voters.”
Furthermore, Tina Peters was the obvious frontrunner in every way:
“In the Republican primary for Colorado Secretary of State, all the momentum now is with Tina Peters. By every available metric, Peters is the frontrunner. Peters dominated the vote at the state assembly, and now holds a commanding lead in fundraising. Peters is getting orders of magnitude more earned media attention. Coverage one might perceive as negative about Peters’ criminal case, at least until June 28th, is not a major liability with GOP primary voters. To the extent they’ve heard of Peters, a large percentage will see her as a hero.”
So where were Pam Anderson’s 266,000 voters hiding all this time before primary day?
They were not hiding on Twitter and Facebook — that’s for sure.
The day of the primary, the enthusiasm for Pam Anderson was, shall we say, underwhelming on social media.
Does these tweets appear to show the kind of sudden political momentum that turns Pam Anderson from being twenty points behind Tina Peters to beating Tina Peters by 15 points?
You must remember that Tina Peters got 61% of the delegates at Colorado’s Republican Assembly in April. What about Pam Anderson — you ask?
Pam Anderson did not even attend the Republican assembly. She was so unpopular in the Colorado GOP that she was a write-in candidate who only qualified in April. She had to collect 1,000 valid signatures from registered Republicans in each of the state’s eight congressional districts just to get on the ballot. In the 5th Congressional District, Anderson managed only 1,282 valid signatures. Apparently, more than 5,000 of the 17,904 signatures submitted by Anderson were not valid.
In other words, Pam Anderson was not a wildly popular candidate among Republicans. So how did Pam Anderson suddenly pull off a miraculous 35 point swing on Primary Day two months later with no money and no endorsements?
The only advantage that Pam Anderson had in this race: she’s on the Board of Directors for Mark Zuckerberg’s private election mafia, the “Center For Tech And Civic Life.”
Isn’t it strange that the director of Mark Zuckerberg’s private election charity for Democrats (on temporary leave!) just won the most important election integrity race in Colorado — and a GOP primary no less — as a write-in candidate with a 35 point polling swing with no money and no visible support from Republicans?
One more thing: Colorado uses Dominion Voting Machines.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said... Watergate Prosecutor Would Charge Trump with Insurrection July 4, 2022 at 6:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 27 Comments
Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks told MSNBC that charging former President Donald Trump with rebellion or insurrection would prevent him from holding political office again.
She noted that, unlike a seditious conspiracy charge, a rebellion or insurrection charge would see the convicted offender barred from “ever holding federal office again.”
So I was right
and the lying "pastor" has reading comprehension difficulties
"Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks told MSNBC that charging former President Donald Trump with rebellion or insurrection would prevent him from holding political office again."
Independence Day arrives at a time when the United States is roiled by hearings over the Jan. 6 insurrection, awash in turmoil over high court rulings on abortion and guns and struggling to maintain the common bonds that keep it together.
Yet many also see cause to celebrate: The pandemic continues to be on the wane and, despite its faults, America’s democracy survives.
“I think many of us are feeling conflicted about celebrating 4th of July right now,” obstacle race champion and attorney Amelia Boone tweeted as the week gave way to the long holiday weekend.
In her eyes patriotism is also about fighting for change, she said, adding, “I’m not giving up on the US.”
That sentiment is no doubt shared by millions who on Monday will be celebrating the nation’s 246th birthday and anniversary of independence from English rule.
It’s a day for taking off work, flocking to parades, devouring hot dogs and burgers at backyard barbecues and gathering under a canopy of stars and exploding fireworks — in many cases for the first time in three years amid easing coronavirus precautions.
Donald Trump now has a five point lead over Joe Biden in a head-to-head race per Emerson polling. This five point lead in a poll is the biggest lead I’ve ever seen Trump have in a national poll since he entered politics in 2015.
EXCLUSIVE: Text Messages Show Cassidy Hutchinson Referring To January 6 Committee As ‘BS’
The January 6 committee’s key witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, called the committee “bs” in a text message obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.
On Feb 1. Hutchinson sent a text to a conservative activist with connections to the First Amendment Fund, which is a group started by the American Conservative Union that helps Trump officials cover costs for Jan. 6 lawyers. Matt Schlapp said Hutchinson approached CPAC for help through the First Amendment Fund. Schlapp said he is happy they did not end up assisting her because she was relaying White House “hallway gossip as fact.”
In the text message, Hutchinson says: “Hey (redacted)! This is Cassidy Hutchinson. Kind of a random question, but do you still work for the Schlapp’s at the ACU?”
To which the person responded, “Hi, Yes!”
Hutchinson then said, “Do you happen to know a First Amendment fund POC I could reach out to? I was subpoenaed in early Nov., but the committee waited to serve me until last week (after Ben’s deposition).”
“I had to accept service because the U.S. Marshalls came to my apartment last Wednesday, but I haven’t made contact with the Committee. I’m just on a tight timeline and just trying to figure out what my options are to deal with this bs,” Hutchinson added.
In another text message reviewed by the Daily Caller, Hutchinson told the conservative activist that she does not want things to get “unnecessarily elevated” in regards to the Jan. 6 committee.
The committee has been intensifying its yearlong investigation into the Jan. 6 attack and Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The next hearings will aim to show how Trump illegally directed a violent mob toward the Capitol on Jan. 6 and then failed to take quick action to stop the attack once it began. Over the weekend, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee’s vice chair, made clear that criminal referrals to the Justice Department, including against the Republican former president, could follow.
The beautiful spacious skies The amber waves of grain To the majestic purple mountains Above the fruited plain God did shed His grace From sea to shining sea On you and on me From Sleepy Hollow mountain country To the swamps of Okefenokee To Guthrie Oklahoma To Hibbing Minnesota To Grants Pass Oregon To Stone Pipe Wells, California From Texas to Montana From California to Maine In the sunny days the winter snow From Arizona sand to Cherokee North Carolina To Tarpen Springs Florida America, it's time to be refreshed, recalled to memory God did shed His grace on Thee From sea to shining sea The land is big the best is free Sand and surf, grass and tree From sea to shining sea God shed His grace on me And crown Thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
An expert on White House dynamics says Mark Meadows is by far the worst chief of staff in U.S. history.
Former aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified last week that Meadows seemed unconcerned about the insurrection taking place just blocks away at the U.S. Capitol, and author Chris Whipple, who has interviewed dozens of chiefs of staff, said that testimony cemented Donald Trump's lead staffer as the worst of all time, reported Business Insider.
"It used to be a fairly stiff competition for the worst chief of staff in history, but Meadows absolutely owns it," Whipple said.
Hutchinson told the House select committee that Meadows remained glued to his cell phone instead of asking the president to call off his supporters at the Capitol, and Whipple said that would be his lasting legacy.
"I used to think the defining lasting image of Mark Meadows would be mugging for Don Trump's Jr.'s video camera in the tent at the Ellipse right before Trump went out to incite a mob to attack the Capitol," Whipple said. "I now think the defining image of Meadows is the guy sitting on the couch in the White House chief's office scrolling through his phone while a violent mob attacks Capitol police that day."
Whipple had previously ranked H.R. Haldeman, Richard Nixon's chief of staff during the Watergate burglary and subsequent coverup, as the worst in American history, but he said Hutchinson's testimony had shaken up his ratings.
"The Watergate figures really look like choir boys compared to Trump, and Meadows, and their gang," Whipple said. "That was before now the most serious political scandal in American political history, but it pales in comparison to a president who sends an armed mob against the Capitol knowing that they are armed, knowing that there will be violence, and with a chief of staff who at best just shrugs and looks the other way and at worst was a co-conspirator."
Whipple, the author of "The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency," noted that Trump had cycled through more chief staffers in one term than any other president, but he found exactly what he wanted in Meadows.
"What he wanted is what he got ultimately in Mark Meadows, which is sycophant," Whipple said. "I think he was less a chief of staff than a kind of glad-handing maitre d' who tried to please Trump in every way, and, in fact, he told basically everybody what they wanted to hear, not just Trump. He was and is a spineless character and the polar opposite of the best chiefs."
In the months following the 2020 US presidential election, rightwing TV news in America was a wild west, an apparently lawless free-for-all where conspiracy theories about voting machines, ballot-stuffed suitcases and dead Venezuelan leaders were repeated to viewers around the clock.
There seemed to be little consequence for peddling the most outrageous ideas on primetime.
But now, unfortunately for Fox News, One America News Network (OAN), and Newsmax, it turns out that this brave, new world wasn’t free from legal jurisdiction – with the three networks now facing billion-dollar lawsuits as a result of their baseless accusations.

In June, Dominion Voting Systems, which provided voting machines to 28 states, was given the go-ahead to sue Fox Corp, the parent company of Fox News, in a case that could draw Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan, into the spotlight.
In the $1.6bn lawsuit, Dominion accuses Fox Corp, and the Murdochs specifically, of allowing Fox News to amplify false claims that the voting company had rigged the election for Joe Biden.
Fox Corp had attempted to have the suit dismissed, but a Delaware judge said Dominion had shown adequate evidence for the suit to proceed. Dominion is already suing Fox News, as well as OAN and Newsmax.

This Fourth of July, it’s worth pondering the true meaning of patriotism Robert Reich
On this Fourth of July, it’s worth pondering the true meaning of patriotism.
It is not the meaning propounded by the “America first” crowd, who see the patriotic challenge as securing our borders.
For most of its existence America has been open to people from the rest of the world fleeing tyranny and violence.
Nor is the meaning of patriotism found in the ravings of those who want America to be a white Christian nation.
America’s moral mission has been greater inclusion – equal citizenship for Native Americans, Black people, women and LGBTQ+ people.
True patriots don’t fuel racist, religious or ethnic divisions. Patriots aren’t homophobic or sexist.
Patriots seek to confirm and strengthen and celebrate the “we” in “we the people of the United States”.
Patriots are not blind to social injustices. They don’t ban books or prevent teaching about the sins of our past.
They combine a loving devotion to America with a demand for justice.
This land is your land, this land is my land, Woody Guthrie sang.
Langston Hughes pleaded: Let America be America again, The land that never has been yet – And yet must be – the land where every man is free. The land that’s mine – the poor man’s, Indian’s, Negro’s, ME –.
Nor is the meaning of patriotism found in symbolic displays of loyalty like standing for the national anthem and waving the American flag.
Its true meaning is in taking a fair share of the burdens of keeping the nation going – sacrificing for the common good. Paying taxes in full rather than lobbying for lower taxes, seeking tax loopholes or squirreling away money abroad.
It means refraining from political contributions that corrupt our politics, and blowing the whistle on abuses of power even at the risk of losing one’s job.
It means volunteering time and energy to improve the community and country.
Real patriotism involves strengthening our democracy – defending the right to vote and ensuring more Americans are heard. It is not claiming without evidence that millions of people voted fraudulently.
It is not pushing for laws that make it harder for people to vote based on this “big lie”. It is not using the big lie to run for office.
True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.
True patriots don’t support an attempted coup. They expose it – even when it was engineered by people they once worked for, even if it’s a president who headed their own party.
When serving in public office, true patriots don’t try to hold on to power after voters have chosen not to re-elect them. They don’t make money off their offices.
When serving as judges, they recuse themselves from cases where they may appear to have a conflict of interest.
When serving in the Senate, they don’t use the filibuster to stop all legislation with which they disagree.
When serving on the supreme court, they don’t disregard precedent to impose their ideology.
Patriots understand that when they serve the public, one of their major responsibilities is to maintain and build public trust in the offices and institutions they occupy.
America is in trouble. But that’s not because too many foreigners are crossing our borders, or we’re losing our whiteness or our dominant religion, or we’re not standing for the national anthem, or because of voter fraud.
We’re in trouble because we are losing the true understanding of what patriotism requires from all of us.
True patriots don’t fuel racist, religious or ethnic divisions.
Patriots seek to confirm and strengthen and celebrate the ‘we’ in ‘we the people of the United States’
‘True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.’
How could the colonists have regarded the British goverment as being their government when they were being taxed without representation, without their consent?
‘True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.’
Which is exactly what the trump GOP and believers do daily!!!!!!!! Very sad how discord in America is now the norm all driven by the big lie and search to keep power!!!!!!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
You are in violations of about half of these definitions of patriotism?
But I love the way you see it as unpatriotic to say something about election fraud (unless you are accusing someone of colluding with the Russians)....
But you find it completely patriotic to call one of the three branches of our Government "illegitimate" simply because they ruled in a manner that upsets your political positions.
Patriotism requires people to be good losers when it comes to politics. Same idea holds true when you criticize Trump when he was a sore loser or when you should be criticizing your own for being sore losers over these USSC decisions.
How could the colonists have regarded the British goverment as being their government when they were being taxed without representation, without their consent?
The fact that they were British citizens and had been for their entire lives was "probably" the reason they regarded their own Government as their own Government. But just spitballing here.
The fact is that they rose up against THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT in every realistic sense of the world. They were not being invaded by a foreign force or otherwise protecting their own sovereign nation.
They were creating one...
I mean what do you believe the Independence in Independence Day actually stands for if these people were not part of the British empire?
Feels like this is history that you should know, Reverend?
Scott, supporting the first insurrection in history, is not patriotism, it is a betrayal of the founding fathers who created the greatest nation on earth in history.
It is a betrayal of everything they created.

Actually the founding fathers held the first insurrection of our country.
But I understand why you are not proud of them.
You hate the constitution that they wrote and how they set up this country as a Republic with three co-equal branches of Government.
Liz Cheney is one of the few Republicans to condemn the attempted coup on January 6 and to join Democrats in the investigation. Standing against an armed insurrection is a bizarrely low bar, but Cheney deserves a little credit for being one of two to meet it.
That’s where the credit should stop, though. She is absolutely one of the most conservative politicians in America.
But unlike you, she cares about the independence day of July 4th 2022.
Actually the founding fathers held the first insurrection of our country.
If that is how you rationalize trumps coup.......you are one sick asshole, Lil Schitty......Your education and intellect are sadly fucked up beyond reason!!!!!!
There has only been one "insurrection" and it happened back in the 1700's and it led to our Independence.
But I am sure you believe that the Man with the facepaint and antler hat and George Washington are basically one and the same, huh? Two peas in a pod forever linked as leaders of comparable insurrections?

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land and this land is my land
From California to the New York island
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The voice come a-chanting and the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me.
Last December, during oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the case in which the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted that “there’s so much that’s not in the Constitution, including the fact that we have the last word. Marbury versus Madison. There is not anything in the Constitution that says that the Court, the Supreme Court, is the last word on what the Constitution means. It was totally novel at that time. And yet, what the Court did was reason from the structure of the Constitution that that’s what was intended.”
It was a remarkable observation. Sotomayor’s primary intent was to argue that rights and prerogatives need not be explicitly delineated in the Constitution for them to exist. The right to privacy — more specifically, the right to terminate a pregnancy — does not appear anywhere in the document, but neither does the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review. Both exist by strong implication.
That's why the 10th amendment was implemented
All Dobbs did is return the authority to the states.
WASHINGTON — House Jan. 6 committee members said Sunday that they may make criminal referrals to federal prosecutors involving former President Donald Trump and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Fanning out on Sunday programs to discuss the congressional investigation and its public hearings, committee members said that while no formal decision has been made, they can envision multiple referrals to the Justice Department based on evidence they’ve uncovered investigating the events surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the vice chair and one of two Republicans on the panel, said “we’ll make a decision as a committee” about whether to alert the Justice Department to possible crimes it has uncovered.
“The Justice Department doesn’t have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral, and there could be more than one criminal referral,” she said on ABC's "This Week."
She also pointed to the explosive public hearing last week in which Cassidy Hutchinson, the former top aide to Mark Meadows when he was White House chief of staff, detailed outbursts of rage from Trump on the day he urged supporters to march to the Capitol. “I don’t f---ing care that they have weapons,” Trump said as he urged aides to remove magnetometers near the White House before he addressed a “Stop the Steal” rally, Hutchinson testified. “They’re not here to hurt me.”
“It’s very chilling, and I think we will, you know, continue to present to the American people what we found,” Cheney said.
True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.
True patriots don’t support an attempted coup. They expose it – even when it was engineered by people they once worked for, even if it’s a president who headed their own party.
When serving in public office, true patriots don’t try to hold on to power after voters have chosen not to re-elect them. They don’t make money off their offices.
When serving as judges, they recuse themselves from cases where they may appear to have a conflict of interest. When serving in the Senate, they don’t use the filibuster to stop all legislation with which they disagree.
When serving on the supreme court, they don’t disregard precedent to impose their ideology.
Patriots understand that when they serve the public, one of their major responsibilities is to maintain and build public trust in the offices and institutions they occupy.
All Hobbs did is return the authority to the states.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! You fucking loser....all it did was legislate a women's uterus in those states....something that is foreign to assholes moralists like you who trivialize women's rights!!!!!!

Watergate Prosecutor Would Charge Trump with Insurrection
July 4, 2022 at 6:03 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 27 Comments
Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks told MSNBC that charging former President Donald Trump with rebellion or insurrection would prevent him from holding political office again.
She noted that, unlike a seditious conspiracy charge, a rebellion or insurrection charge would see the convicted offender barred from “ever holding federal office again.”
GO FOR IT!
“against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
people who hold show trials are not our friends

McConnell Seeks to Defuse Cultural Hot Buttons
July 4, 2022 at 6:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 63 Comments
NBC News:
“The Kentucky Republican’s goal is to downplay the contentious issues on which suburban voters may be more sympathetic to Democrats — including gun restrictions, abortion rights and former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen — to soften the GOP’s image with this group of voters ahead of the midterm elections.
“A Republican leadership aide familiar with McConnell’s thinking said he wants to make the 2022 midterms a referendum on President Joe Biden, hoping that disenchantment over inflation and gas prices will power the GOP back into the majority.”
Said the aide:
“Not about Trump. Not about guns. Not about abortion. But about the things that are really keeping people up at night.”

The Revolution was America’s first civil war
On our 246th Independence Day, it is well to remember how much suffering can result from a refusal to countenance other points of view.
By the time the Continental Congress approved the text of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies and Great Britain had already been at war for more than a year. A copy of the Declaration was sent by John Hancock on behalf of Congress to George Washington, the commander of the Continental Army, with instructions that it be read to the troops. Washington readily complied, hoping that the Declaration’s words would inspire “every officer and soldier . . . to act with Fidelity and Courage.” He hoped as well that openly proclaiming that the colonies were now “free and independent states,” no longer subject to the British Crown, would attract more recruits to join the fight “for the Defense of the Liberties and Independence of the United States.”
But it wasn’t only Great Britain with which the Americans were at war. They were at war with each other, too.
The American Revolution, not the bloody conflict between North and South in the 1860s, was the nation’s first civil war. The decision by the colonies to break away from England and its empire was by no means a unanimous one. “Somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of the population retained their loyalty to the crown,” notes the Library of Congress, while committed Patriots — those in favor of independence — accounted for about 40 percent. (As in nearly every conflict, a sizable fraction in the middle preferred not to take sides and just wanted to be left alone.)

Falling Commodity Prices Raise Hopes Inflation Has Peaked
July 4, 2022 at 7:41 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 35 Comments
“A slide in all manner of raw-materials prices—corn, wheat, copper and more—is stirring hopes that a significant source of inflationary pressure might be starting to ease,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Natural-gas prices shot up more than 60% before falling back to close the quarter 3.9% lower. U.S. crude slipped from highs above $120 a barrel to end around $106. Wheat, corn and soybeans all wound up cheaper than they were at the end of March. Cotton unraveled, losing more than a third of its price since early May. Benchmark prices for building materials copper and lumber dropped 22% and 31%, respectively, while a basket of industrial metals that trade in London had its worst quarter since the 2008 financial crisis.”
OH NO! CRY REPUGS. IF INFLATION EASES, TRUMP WILL BE THE ISSUE, IN SPITE OF WHAT MCCONNELL AND OTHER GOP BOSSES WANT!

How Did A Zuckerberg Charity Stooge Win A GOP Primary In Colorado?
Pam Anderson won a race with no money and very few visible voters
The story of the GOP primary race for Secretary of State in Colorado gets more interesting the more you investigate the results.
As I noted yesterday, the big news is that an Australian businessman named Mike O’Donnell somehow got 28% of the vote (173,000 citizens voted for him!) even though polling showed he had no support, he raised $4,700 for his campaign, and 139 people were following his campaign on Twitter. The most interaction he got on his 1,300 campaign tweets was 4 “likes” on his June 27th tweet; most of them had zero interaction. He went from being a non-factor in a three-person race to grabbing more than quarter of the total vote.
Mike O’Donnell seems like a very nice guy — but can anyone explain his sudden 28% share of the vote in the most important election integrity race in Colorado? Election officials in Colorado had no explanation. Most of the county clerks in the 17 counties that Mike O’Donnell won had never heard of him. Their reactions ranged from confusion to disbelief.
But, wait, there’s more.
The really big news is that Pam Anderson supposedly won the race with 43% of the vote (266,000 citizens voted for her!) which is an unbelievable result — to say the very least.
It’s truly unbelievable because two months before the primary, Pam Anderson was not just losing to Tina Peters in all the polling and fundraising metrics, but her campaign was broke. She had a $5,665 balance in her campaign coffers. According to liberal site Colorado Pols, “this surprisingly anemic fundraising is just more evidence that [Pam Anderson] is a candidate without a constituency…”
Two days after that assessment, Colorado Pols considered Anderson’s campaign dead-on-arrival and added that: “Peters’ strong performance further underscores Anderson’s weakness in this race, running on a message not just disagreed with but considered treasonous by a majority of Republican voters.”
Furthermore, Tina Peters was the obvious frontrunner in every way:
“In the Republican primary for Colorado Secretary of State, all the momentum now is with Tina Peters. By every available metric, Peters is the frontrunner. Peters dominated the vote at the state assembly, and now holds a commanding lead in fundraising. Peters is getting orders of magnitude more earned media attention. Coverage one might perceive as negative about Peters’ criminal case, at least until June 28th, is not a major liability with GOP primary voters. To the extent they’ve heard of Peters, a large percentage will see her as a hero.”
So where were Pam Anderson’s 266,000 voters hiding all this time before primary day?
They were not hiding on Twitter and Facebook — that’s for sure.
The day of the primary, the enthusiasm for Pam Anderson was, shall we say, underwhelming on social media.
Does these tweets appear to show the kind of sudden political momentum that turns Pam Anderson from being twenty points behind Tina Peters to beating Tina Peters by 15 points?
You must remember that Tina Peters got 61% of the delegates at Colorado’s Republican Assembly in April. What about Pam Anderson — you ask?
Pam Anderson did not even attend the Republican assembly. She was so unpopular in the Colorado GOP that she was a write-in candidate who only qualified in April. She had to collect 1,000 valid signatures from registered Republicans in each of the state’s eight congressional districts just to get on the ballot. In the 5th Congressional District, Anderson managed only 1,282 valid signatures. Apparently, more than 5,000 of the 17,904 signatures submitted by Anderson were not valid.
In other words, Pam Anderson was not a wildly popular candidate among Republicans.
So how did Pam Anderson suddenly pull off a miraculous 35 point swing on Primary Day two months later with no money and no endorsements?
The only advantage that Pam Anderson had in this race: she’s on the Board of Directors for Mark Zuckerberg’s private election mafia, the “Center For Tech And Civic Life.”
Isn’t it strange that the director of Mark Zuckerberg’s private election charity for Democrats (on temporary leave!) just won the most important election integrity race in Colorado — and a GOP primary no less — as a write-in candidate with a 35 point polling swing with no money and no visible support from Republicans?
One more thing: Colorado uses Dominion Voting Machines.

Chicago's bloody holiday weekend continues: 54 people shot, 7 dead since Friday evening
Violence in Chicago continues to escalate over the long July 4th weekend, with 54 people shot, 7 of them fatally.
The weekend kicked off with 22 people shot, four fatally, within the span of 20 hours on Friday. Violent encounters with police also popped up throughout the weekend, with Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown begging parents to take responsibility over their children.
"There's no reason why everyone can't enjoy the holiday and every event safely. Parents, please, please know where your children are," he said. "Don't leave them to government to be the parents of your kids. We need you, parents, please, to help us make sure your young people are safe."
A crowd of protesters in Chicago's Loop attacked police cars with fireworks and blunt objects after authorities responded to reports of cars doing donuts in an intersection.
Independence Day arrives at a time when the United States is roiled by hearings over the Jan. 6 insurrection, awash in turmoil over high court rulings on abortion and guns and struggling to maintain the common bonds that keep it together.
Yet many also see cause to celebrate: The pandemic continues to be on the wane and, despite its faults, America’s democracy survives.
“I think many of us are feeling conflicted about celebrating 4th of July right now,” obstacle race champion and attorney Amelia Boone tweeted as the week gave way to the long holiday weekend.
In her eyes patriotism is also about fighting for change, she said, adding, “I’m not giving up on the US.”
That sentiment is no doubt shared by millions who on Monday will be celebrating the nation’s 246th birthday and anniversary of independence from English rule.
It’s a day for taking off work, flocking to parades, devouring hot dogs and burgers at backyard barbecues and gathering under a canopy of stars and exploding fireworks — in many cases for the first time in three years amid easing coronavirus precautions.

EXCLUSIVE: Text Messages Show Cassidy Hutchinson Referring To January 6 Committee As ‘BS’
The January 6 committee’s key witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, called the committee “bs” in a text message obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.
On Feb 1. Hutchinson sent a text to a conservative activist with connections to the First Amendment Fund, which is a group started by the American Conservative Union that helps Trump officials cover costs for Jan. 6 lawyers. Matt Schlapp said Hutchinson approached CPAC for help through the First Amendment Fund. Schlapp said he is happy they did not end up assisting her because she was relaying White House “hallway gossip as fact.”
In the text message, Hutchinson says: “Hey (redacted)! This is Cassidy Hutchinson. Kind of a random question, but do you still work for the Schlapp’s at the ACU?”
To which the person responded, “Hi, Yes!”
Hutchinson then said, “Do you happen to know a First Amendment fund POC I could reach out to? I was subpoenaed in early Nov., but the committee waited to serve me until last week (after Ben’s deposition).”
“I had to accept service because the U.S. Marshalls came to my apartment last Wednesday, but I haven’t made contact with the Committee. I’m just on a tight timeline and just trying to figure out what my options are to deal with this bs,” Hutchinson added.
In another text message reviewed by the Daily Caller, Hutchinson told the conservative activist that she does not want things to get “unnecessarily elevated” in regards to the Jan. 6 committee.

We know what happened with Dred Scott.
We have yet to see what will eventually happen with Roe vs. Wade.
The committee has been intensifying its yearlong investigation into the Jan. 6 attack and Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The next hearings will aim to show how Trump illegally directed a violent mob toward the Capitol on Jan. 6 and then failed to take quick action to stop the attack once it began. Over the weekend, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee’s vice chair, made clear that criminal referrals to the Justice Department, including against the Republican former president, could follow.
LOL Hutchinson didn't call the committee bs. She called what she had to deal with bs.

An expert on White House dynamics says Mark Meadows is by far the worst chief of staff in U.S. history.
Former aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified last week that Meadows seemed unconcerned about the insurrection taking place just blocks away at the U.S. Capitol, and author Chris Whipple, who has interviewed dozens of chiefs of staff, said that testimony cemented Donald Trump's lead staffer as the worst of all time, reported Business Insider.
"It used to be a fairly stiff competition for the worst chief of staff in history, but Meadows absolutely owns it," Whipple said.
Hutchinson told the House select committee that Meadows remained glued to his cell phone instead of asking the president to call off his supporters at the Capitol, and Whipple said that would be his lasting legacy.
"I used to think the defining lasting image of Mark Meadows would be mugging for Don Trump's Jr.'s video camera in the tent at the Ellipse right before Trump went out to incite a mob to attack the Capitol," Whipple said. "I now think the defining image of Meadows is the guy sitting on the couch in the White House chief's office scrolling through his phone while a violent mob attacks Capitol police that day."
Whipple had previously ranked H.R. Haldeman, Richard Nixon's chief of staff during the Watergate burglary and subsequent coverup, as the worst in American history, but he said Hutchinson's testimony had shaken up his ratings.
"The Watergate figures really look like choir boys compared to Trump, and Meadows, and their gang," Whipple said. "That was before now the most serious political scandal in American political history, but it pales in comparison to a president who sends an armed mob against the Capitol knowing that they are armed, knowing that there will be violence, and with a chief of staff who at best just shrugs and looks the other way and at worst was a co-conspirator."
Whipple, the author of "The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency," noted that Trump had cycled through more chief staffers in one term than any other president, but he found exactly what he wanted in Meadows.
"What he wanted is what he got ultimately in Mark Meadows, which is sycophant," Whipple said. "I think he was less a chief of staff than a kind of glad-handing maitre d' who tried to please Trump in every way, and, in fact, he told basically everybody what they wanted to hear, not just Trump. He was and is a spineless character and the polar opposite of the best chiefs."

In the months following the 2020 US presidential election, rightwing TV news in America was a wild west, an apparently lawless free-for-all where conspiracy theories about voting machines, ballot-stuffed suitcases and dead Venezuelan leaders were repeated to viewers around the clock.
There seemed to be little consequence for peddling the most outrageous ideas on primetime.
But now, unfortunately for Fox News, One America News Network (OAN), and Newsmax, it turns out that this brave, new world wasn’t free from legal jurisdiction – with the three networks now facing billion-dollar lawsuits as a result of their baseless accusations.

In June, Dominion Voting Systems, which provided voting machines to 28 states, was given the go-ahead to sue Fox Corp, the parent company of Fox News, in a case that could draw Rupert Murdoch and his son, Lachlan, into the spotlight.
In the $1.6bn lawsuit, Dominion accuses Fox Corp, and the Murdochs specifically, of allowing Fox News to amplify false claims that the voting company had rigged the election for Joe Biden.
Fox Corp had attempted to have the suit dismissed, but a Delaware judge said Dominion had shown adequate evidence for the suit to proceed. Dominion is already suing Fox News, as well as OAN and Newsmax.

This Fourth of July, it’s worth pondering the true meaning of patriotism
Robert Reich
On this Fourth of July, it’s worth pondering the true meaning of patriotism.
It is not the meaning propounded by the “America first” crowd, who see the patriotic challenge as securing our borders.
For most of its existence America has been open to people from the rest of the world fleeing tyranny and violence.
Nor is the meaning of patriotism found in the ravings of those who want America to be a white Christian nation.
America’s moral mission has been greater inclusion – equal citizenship for Native Americans, Black people, women and LGBTQ+ people.
True patriots don’t fuel racist, religious or ethnic divisions.
Patriots aren’t homophobic or sexist.
Patriots seek to confirm and strengthen and celebrate the “we” in “we the people of the United States”.
Patriots are not blind to social injustices. They don’t ban books or prevent teaching about the sins of our past.
They combine a loving devotion to America with a demand for justice.
This land is your land, this land is my land, Woody Guthrie sang.
Langston Hughes pleaded:
Let America be America again,
The land that never has been yet –
And yet must be – the land where every man is free.
The land that’s mine – the poor man’s, Indian’s, Negro’s, ME –.
Nor is the meaning of patriotism found in symbolic displays of loyalty like standing for the national anthem and waving the American flag.
Its true meaning is in taking a fair share of the burdens of keeping the nation going – sacrificing for the common good. Paying taxes in full rather than lobbying for lower taxes, seeking tax loopholes or squirreling away money abroad.
It means refraining from political contributions that corrupt our politics, and blowing the whistle on abuses of power even at the risk of losing one’s job.
It means volunteering time and energy to improve the community and country.
Real patriotism involves strengthening our democracy – defending the right to vote and ensuring more Americans are heard. It is not claiming without evidence that millions of people voted fraudulently.
It is not pushing for laws that make it harder for people to vote based on this “big lie”. It is not using the big lie to run for office.
True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.
True patriots don’t support an attempted coup. They expose it – even when it was engineered by people they once worked for, even if it’s a president who headed their own party.
When serving in public office, true patriots don’t try to hold on to power after voters have chosen not to re-elect them. They don’t make money off their offices.
When serving as judges, they recuse themselves from cases where they may appear to have a conflict of interest.
When serving in the Senate, they don’t use the filibuster to stop all legislation with which they disagree.
When serving on the supreme court, they don’t disregard precedent to impose their ideology.
Patriots understand that when they serve the public, one of their major responsibilities is to maintain and build public trust in the offices and institutions they occupy.
America is in trouble. But that’s not because too many foreigners are crossing our borders, or we’re losing our whiteness or our dominant religion, or we’re not standing for the national anthem, or because of voter fraud.
We’re in trouble because we are losing the true understanding of what patriotism requires from all of us.
True patriots don’t fuel racist, religious or ethnic divisions.

‘True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.’
'No taxation without representation.'
How could the colonists have regarded the British goverment as being their government when they were being taxed without representation, without their consent?
‘True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.’
Which is exactly what the trump GOP and believers do daily!!!!!!!! Very sad how discord in America is now the norm all driven by the big lie and search to keep power!!!!!!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
The declaration then goes on to list the ways the King and British government have been despotic.
Great Reverend...
You are in violations of about half of these definitions of patriotism?
But I love the way you see it as unpatriotic to say something about election fraud (unless you are accusing someone of colluding with the Russians)....
But you find it completely patriotic to call one of the three branches of our Government "illegitimate" simply because they ruled in a manner that upsets your political positions.
Patriotism requires people to be good losers when it comes to politics. Same idea holds true when you criticize Trump when he was a sore loser or when you should be criticizing your own for being sore losers over these USSC decisions.
Hypocrite!
How could the colonists have regarded the British goverment as being their government when they were being taxed without representation, without their consent?
The fact that they were British citizens and had been for their entire lives was "probably" the reason they regarded their own Government as their own Government. But just spitballing here.
The fact is that they rose up against THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT in every realistic sense of the world. They were not being invaded by a foreign force or otherwise protecting their own sovereign nation.
They were creating one...
I mean what do you believe the Independence in Independence Day actually stands for if these people were not part of the British empire?
Feels like this is history that you should know, Reverend?
Funny thing

Scott, supporting the first insurrection in history, is not patriotism, it is a betrayal of the founding fathers who created the greatest nation on earth in history.
It is a betrayal of everything they created.
You are betraying our day of independence on the 4th of July in 2022.
Just in case you censor me again.

Actually the founding fathers held the first insurrection of our country.
But I understand why you are not proud of them.
You hate the constitution that they wrote and how they set up this country as a Republic with three co-equal branches of Government.
Liz Cheney is one of the few Republicans to condemn the attempted coup on January 6 and to join Democrats in the investigation. Standing against an armed insurrection is a bizarrely low bar, but Cheney deserves a little credit for being one of two to meet it.
That’s where the credit should stop, though.
She is absolutely one of the most conservative politicians in America.
But unlike you, she cares about the independence day of July 4th 2022.
Actually the founding fathers held the first insurrection of our country.
If that is how you rationalize trumps coup.......you are one sick asshole, Lil Schitty......Your education and intellect are sadly fucked up beyond reason!!!!!!
So you just admitted that you support the insurrection!
You actually believe that January 6th is the second independent date.
Actually the founding fathers held the first insurrection of our country.
If Trump had succeeded the nation that was created by the founding fathers on July 4th in 1776, would be replaced by January 6th in 2021.
You are a traitor 😒

No Roger...
I corrected you.
There has only been one "insurrection" and it happened back in the 1700's and it led to our Independence.
But I am sure you believe that the Man with the facepaint and antler hat and George Washington are basically one and the same, huh? Two peas in a pod forever linked as leaders of comparable insurrections?
