"To the extent the decision is up to Trump, the United States that his speech celebrated on July 4 will exist no more."
-- David Frum, writing in The Atlantic
Democracy Matters

Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

It's coming, Todd. You know it. Trump knows it. We all know it. The most corrupt wannabe AG in US history.

Soon it'll be "These ANTIFA folks are SO DEVIOUS it's impossible to prove anything!"

PBS NewsTrump's administration won't seek new bids to repair the Reflecting PoolLike President Donald Trump, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said he was 100% sure that vandals caused the damage to the century-old Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.Trump’s new Qatar Force One did a flyover for the crowd - because nothing exhibits good old fashioned 4th of July American patriotism like flying a grifted Qatari jet over the US Capital.

Fox is launching a new show this summer: The Nation’s Dumbest.
How on-brand. A celebration of ignorance.
The Atlantic republished a 10-year old JD Vance essay that dismissed Donald Trump as nothing more than “cultural heroin.”
“Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.”
LOL.
Trump soils everything.

Trump said our motto is “Victory or death!”
I guess liberty is out of vogue.

Trump's entire life is a big case of stolen valor. He slapped his brand on shitty products--getting paid up front, while customers were ripped off. He has no honor. He deserves no glory. He's the worst kind of fraud. And Republicans jumped on board.

The air is going to be SO BAD because of the enormous quantity of fireworks to be set off tonight in DC that officials cautioned people nearby to wear an N95 mask, which I am guessing no one will do.
A plastic visor is USELESS (as always). You've been warned.
