Independence Day trivia:
Thomas Jefferson presented a draft of what became the Declaration of Independence to Congress, who debated, revised and edited the document on July 2 and July 3.
By July 4, 1776, they'd ratified the wording.
The formal document wasn’t officially finalized until two weeks later, and wasn’t signed until August 2.

Having just finished listening to the audiobook Alexander Hamilton, written by Ron Chernow and published in 2004, I learned that today's political situation matches the infighting, the backstabbing, the press vitriol, and sheer lack of the ability to work together that began the moment our country was formed.
Just think what we could REALLY DO, if the politicians would actually represent the people.
They didn't do it in 1776, leaving women, slaves, and indigenous peoples from liberation.
They aren't doing it now, as The Supreme Court has voted that The President is really a Monarch.
Happy Independence Day, U S of A!
