Reposted due to the Great Pretender's outrageous acts of militarism and tyranny.

Today we celebrate a unique and momentous act of treason. Two hundred and forty-four years ago today representatives of thirteen upstart American colonies approved and adopted a document announcing their secession from the world's most powerful empire.
When the signers of the Declaration of Independence gathered in Philadelphia to take their historic action, they did so pledging "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." In a time when one's honor was everything, that was a mighty oath, which they knew would cost their lives if their uprising failed.
At the time of the signing, hostilities between Great Britain and the colonies had been underway for more than a year. In a letter dated July 1, 1775, King George III wrote: "I am of the opinion that once these rebels have felt a smart blow, they will submit."
Well, Your Majesty, here we still are, and your rebels and traitors are our Patriots.
It would be fitting if, on this day when we honor our patriot forebears, we forcefully declare our own independence, forsaking and forswearing any link or allegiance whatsoever to unpresident Donald Trump, and pledge to do everything in our power to bring about his fall, to remove him from office, and to assign him to the dustbin of history.
Let us be traitors; let us be patriots; let us be Americans, speaking truth to lies, concord to divisiveness, and denouncing Trump to the world.
