The reading of a document a dubiously assembled congress will be sending to a Constitutional Monarch that didn't have the final say in the matter and who wouldn't even be able to read it for 3 months isn't exactly the day America gained its independence either.
They also paid waaaaay lower taxes than any other British colony and the reason for the miniscule taxation they refused to pay was to pay for soldiers to protect them from the Native Americans that were pissed off with the endless breaking of treaties the colonists were causing when they kept illegally claiming land over borders they weren't even supposed to be crossing.
When I was young I had an uncle describe the founding fathers as rich guys who just didn’t want to pay their taxes. He’s now a chud. Life is a mfer.
If they do secede we clearly need to take their oil and any rights to military eqpt. Can't wait to see how well they do with their current electric grid.
The Sons of Liberty were basically the colonial Koch Brothers and The Heritage Foundation. Five dead being labeled as a massacre in Boston would be like a 7 point win in football being called a blowout. Sam Adams couldn't even convince his second cousin John that everything about "The Massacre" was on the level.
Counterpoint: “just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships because they knew death was better than bondage.”
Every one of those current 2965 likes should be exported into an fbi database. And not one run by human resources
I mean if you accept the fact that black people were still property after this shitbag country got its “independence” then sure. I truly wish I was 15-20 years younger and I’d leave this fucking place.
I think we should have a 16-day “American Independence Celebration” starting on June 19th and concluding on July 4th. 2+ weeks of celebration sounds awesome.
Racist white guys that tweet dumb quotes from Thomas Sowell make me laugh. Zero chance any of them have actually read any of his books but think he is a philosopher king because they see other racist white guys quoting him all the time. Sowell probably fucking hates Candy Owens and Diamond & Silk for getting in on his grift and having a wider reach than him even after decades of committing to the bit.
If he can make Questlove angry, perhaps he has it in him to piss off the human teddy bear that is Ron Funchess.
Do people actually use those screens? Last flight I was on that had those, I only saw people using those to view the flights progress.
I always see what people are watching when I walk to and from the bathroom. That said I wish airlines would ban Fox News on their airplanes. I also will change the tv in hotel public areas if it has Fox News on.
I mean there's plenty of evidence to suggest we're fucked as a country but I don't necessarily blame people for not tuning in when we've been beaten down for decades by a mountain of evidence that nobody in power will ever face any real consequences.
Do they have wired headphones with them or just make their neighbors listen to whatever it is they happen to be watching?
I don’t think I would have watched it on a flight thanks to the possibility of some unhinged right wing nut job wanting to “educate” me.
yes, for live Sports. The feed is more reliable than streaming on your phone/computer. If its not an important event, still have it on a sports channel for background programming.
