Your Friday Video Link: Happy Birthday, America!?

Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to pass the so called "One Big Beautiful Bill" with a shit ton of tax breaks for billionaires and a shit ton of... well, shit for the nation's most needy by gutting medical and food assistance. 

So...  Happy Birthday, America? 

<sigh>

Fuck it! Let's run this week's Your Friday Video Link post.

(I'm not really in a party mood.)  

Today is July 4th, America's Birthday!

Yay?

I know, I know, it's hard to feel much of a birthday party thrill when the guest of honor is on life support.

Anyway...

Your Friday Video Link #1 is a Schoolhouse Rock clip where we explain why we did not want a king.

Apparently the Republican Party has decided maybe Kings aren't so bad after all?  

Speaking of kings, Your Friday Video Link #2 is from Hamilton as King George provides his side of the argument.

As a certain man child President once said, "There were good people on both sides."

Finally, Your Friday Video Link #3 is another Schoolhouse Rock clip that presents the preamble to the Constitution.

When I was but a young Dave-El, I was once called on by a teacher to recite the preamble.

With the caveat, the teacher added, without singing it. 

Oh, dear sweet America. Well, it was a good run while it lasted.
