Sorry if this was posted already - To celebrate the fourth of a July, NPR decided to tweet the Declaration of Independence.

Some Trump fans had an interesting reaction.

Doesn't Chelsea Clinton have a ph d in international relations, which would make her at least somewhat qualified to be at the table?

Honestly, I don't see how Mueller doesn't subpoena all of Trump Jr.'s emails.

If Jr. casually forwarded the email chain to Manafort and Kushner, who knows what else was sent directly to The Donald himself.

I hope he does, and then Junior either refuses or we find out he's already deleted all the emails or something like that.

The irony would be just too great.

Apparently it's not possible to advance a major healthcare bill without killing a long-time Senator.

Doctors expressed concern about his condition, but ultimately decided not to do anything about it.

There's a reason taxes have professions dedicated to them in several fields. Its because taxes can be confusing as poo poo if you get more than a w-2.

Taxes are fairly simple if you look at your own specific cases. It gets complicated if you have corporate entities involved (e.g. a home business) but even then, it's not as bad as it's made out to be. There's a huge cultural movement to convince people that taxes are complicated... But then most people don't understand tax brackets, either (You can't take home less money for working overtime for christ's sake.)

That's not to say the whole drat process couldn't be streamlined - It absolutely should - but it's one of those things that is way less complicated than people have decided it it. Like algebra.

Also tax codes are long and complex for a goddamn reason. It's to plug loving loopholes.

I'm more concerned (I can't use that word the same way now) about how China, or anybody else on the opposite end of these rants that aren't involved in the day-to-day of Washington might handle these tweets. Like is China doing the same thing, thinking Trump is just larding off and it'll amount to nothing? I have a feeling they do, since everybody talks, but there's that lingering doubt, and it's really unnerving.

We're talking about people who use their cell phone's light to help them read classified document.

The Chinese and the Russian know what they're thinking, what they're planning, and what they're looking for on pornhub. They probably see Trump type his tweets in real time.
