John Adams, writing to Abigail, about the Continental Congress' vote in favor of independence on July 2, 1776:
"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."
BREAKING: The United States House has rejected Thomas Massie’s amendment to stop the integration of the United States military with Israel’s under Section 219 (formerly Section 224) of the NDAA.
that "news" story of him having the names but not releasing them was horseshit, they clipped him out of context. But you either already knew that or are too stupid to verify. Massie has been the most outspoken congressman in pushing for a full release of the files and has even listed names that were redacted illegally by the Trump admin.
Well you guys Trump did it. The middle east is safer and oil companies got rich :,)
It only cost your family 2000 on average..
Do we all feel better now that the middle east is safer for 60 days? Did we win?
@MyHeroTimmyW@PronounMy@Fat_Electrician No. you're slow because you read something and commented on it aggressively without taking the time to learn who it was. which indicates impulsiveness, which is also an indicator of low IQ.
@nuhre_ I watched the release date trailer and noticed a distinct lack of massive honkers compared to previous games. I'm gonna need a mod to fix this. I swear if I see one pop prostitute in-game wearing modest clothing I'm refunding.
@nuhre_ Echoing my own sentiments. The game could be good, but from what they've put out so far it doesn't look like a fable game, it looks like a completely different IP
Never once in my life have I ever said "back the blue." I don't just blanket support groups of people, only individuals and only if they've earned it. Where my paycheck came from while serving in the Army is inconsequential, I've been out of the service for a decade now and my views have evolved as I've learned and grown as a person. The founders never intended there to be a standing army in the first place, btw. You must've thought I was a Republican.
