Correct me if I’m mistaken but

It happened. At some point, way back on a hot July in 1775, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson found themselves in a Philadelphia room somewhere,

Sir, this was a great read, an education and therefore a reappreciation on a grander scale for me, of our forefathers and their foresights. Thank you!

Furthermore, my “I deplore the current leader” mentality was grateful to you for the constant examples you shared here of his evilness and lack of intelligence.

You had me laughing and crying at just how stupid and pathetic he truly is. Lord help us all, we are at his mercy until we reverse that somehow.

Thank you for your time and thought that led to this piece of perfection!

Over the last 15 or 20 years I've been reading bio's of our founding fathers and have derived from those readings all the salient points you noted here John. I have come to the conclusion that all of those that have voted for the silver spooned fed boob that midleads this great nation have left the civics lessons they apparently barely learned in the junk drawer. It's not stupidity but lazy disregard for those civics lessons by some that have got us here.

Now you’ve done it. I might have to re-sub HBO. I know the founding & the Constitution itself are fraught with problematic things, but the brilliant minds of the founders are still awesome to me. Even what we are currently experiencing was considered and addressed in the document, which is only atrophied because so many have betrayed their oaths.

Thanks, John. We all have to do our best to preserve our sanity, buffer us against the political news of the day.
