I have no heart or want to celebrate this July 4th....1st time ever

It has been going downhill as holidays go. Fireworks from China sold by Wally were all we could afford-and how was that helping?.

Then there are the over achievers setting off military grade explosions because they have really big hands & want everyone to know. The asshat across a wildlife area set one off a few years back that killed our lovely crane nesting in the area. he was found dead the day after-likely a heart attack.

And now we have Russia just taking us to the sheets. And Republicans holding the victim down & cheering.

No

Effin

Way

Hope to be back-It would be nice to be proud of our country. I honestly was despite everything we had wrong we were basically a morale country. Not so much at least it is out in the open.

Are now US citizens and hard workers. They are having a BBQ in Golden Gate park serving Chinese style BBQ. They know more of our country historically and constitutionally than the average American.

It's what's inside that counts, not the public show, nor being a wannabe. We go to our local park and watch the fireworks and we celebrate inside our hearts and then return home.

Its ashamed our country was stolen by a commie loving pervert

And unless Democrats start fighting dirty and effectively with the fucking repubs, and damned soon, I'll feel the same way about my political party. Enough of this wandering in the wilderness and the endless critiques---let's strike back.
