Due to the state of our country right now, with it's fascist dictator and all his minions in charge, I am already 100% sick of hearing about our 250th Anniversary. We are certainly NOT the country our founders envisioned right now. Maybe once we're a democracy again, I'll regain enthusiasm.

And this isn't common sense. It's the profound ignorance of Donald Trump, which allows him to be easily manipulated by dishonest, extremist kooks.

And since Congress and the judicial system are impotent to stop him, since the military has decided to act illegally, he has forever to keep attacking other countries. He's going after Greenland, as he and his supporters boasted yesterday. Then Colombia? Then Panama? Then Nigeria? And so on.

The US military had their chance. They refused to take it. Now they're complicit in the totally illegal take over of another nation, just like what Russia did to Ukraine.
The US military will not be part of the end of the regime. Congress isn't doing it either.
