Washington, Madison, and Jefferson would be rolling in their graves.
To even think that the Congress, duly-elected Representatives of the People, would submit to such a rule, was not something they ever wanted to see. After all, it was King George that brought them to declare their independence.
That is why we fought the Revolutionary War.
So, the so-called "President" wants to have a big celebration for our country on July 4th. He doesn't really care about celebrating the country. He wants to celebrate himself. King Donald. That's the bottom line.
He will order the military to surround him on that day. He wants tanks in the streets and fighter jets in the air. He wants to be the number one cheerleader for our military. It is the act of a tyrant. The kind that leads to a Revolution.
When a government no longer serves the people, but submits to the rule of a Leader, it is time to replace that government. The part of our government that is most dysfunctional at this time is the Legislature, the US Senate, led by Mitch McConnell and the Republicans, to be more specific. They are the first that should go.
They should face the consequences for their failure to represent the people.
We hope the American people are wise enough to defend what the Founders gave them.
