It is said that 250 years ago, Thomas Jefferson woke from a late sleep, and his first words were, “Oh, crap, that thing’s gotta be finalized TODAY?!?”
Yep, today is the 250th birthday of the founding of this nation. A nation now run by a megalomaniac and his billionaire cronies and sycophants. You know, the same people the Founding Fathers warned us about.
