When was the last time you reminded yourself why these United States of America were formed?

Today, I re-read the Declaration of Independence, and I recorded it for you.

Our Founding Fathers were flawed, but they dreamed of a more perfect Union.

Though I wouldn't mind if someone gave him a ride in a jet and he wore his mask like that.

I didn’t know America has so many Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

BORDER PATROC
ICE AGENTS KILL DOG
DURING UNLAWFUL SEARCH, REFUSE TO RENDER AID, AND LEAVE WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES

weratedogs This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE.
Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

Mmm dirty beans 🤤

It is amazing. Where it goes off the rails is when it's hyped as the answer to all the world's problems.

(Plus getting it rammed down our throats in every device and application is pretty annoying)

Not so much goofy as using his $$ to contribute to real science.
