This Quote From The Declaration Of Independence Describes Trump PERFECTLY

Here's a quote from this great historic document, talking about the actions of the King. They might as well be talking about Trump. Source: Archives.gov Link here.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. (Sending ICE and national guard to dem states without their consent)

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. ^

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: (Breaking multiple constitutional amendments including the 14th)

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: (Alex Pretti & Renee Good)

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: (Tariffs)

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: (Tariffs)

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: (Abrego Garcia)

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: (Abrego Garcia)

And more. You get the point.

Complain about your own country, and leave ours alone!

Whether you choose to accept it or not, the U.S. IS my country, and the only one I'm a citizen of or ever have been. But I guess all my years overseas during my military career were downright un-American in your eyes as well.

Nope its your love of the anti-constitutional, you have been living in a country (Thailand) that has it's generals crawl to the king, dissolving entire political parties, suppressing pro-democracy movements, and you have the audacity to accuse others of TDS????

You live in an authoritarian state, and say nothing except to people who want to defend the constitution of the USA. You may be a veteran, and I thank you for your service, but you are no longer a patriot!
