Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

Why read past headlines: I, too, enjoy the semi-jokes about what Biden should do now that he's a king.

But I lay out how the Supreme Court created a vague "test" of what counts as "official," so they can restrain Democrats while unleashing Republicans.
