Happy Independence Day to my fellow patriots! And thanks for the photos, Joe & Hannah.
I watched a show on HBO Max last night in which Repub & Dem politicians, former presidents and vice-presidents and Secretaries of State, various celebrities & kids read the unabridged versions of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It was fantastic listening to those amazing words crafted by our brilliant forefathers; it was really motivating and made me feel proud. BUT apparently this show was produced between 2016-2020 because Trump (reading some of the words of Article II, no less), a couple Fox News talking heads, and others who support(ed) the Jan 6 insurrection were included as some of the readers. Now THAT was horrifying and nearly made me sick to my stomach - listening to THAT ORANGE MAN read our sacred text, the very text that he so profoundly attacked and degraded, was nauseating. Even then it was clear that as he read he had no feeling of connection to those words and what they meant to generations of Americans who lived, toiled, suffered, fought, and died for our Republic. That image still sticks in my mind as if I had just watched something revolting and dirty. Yuck!
