The only appropriate celebration of the Fourth of July would be for someone in Congress to introduce articles of impeachment of the 45th President of the United States. That process will take months, and I have no illusions about a Republican-controlled House and Senate following through on removing one of their own from the Presidency. This is not going to happen.
But a true patriotic American Congressman or woman would prove their allegiance to the republic by formally charging Donald J. Trump with perverting the course of (obstructing) justice, and ten other charges that any effective Congress would convict on and remove this scamming criminal from office. But alas, that is not the current Congress we have elected.
Instead, we move, step by step, toward a mock democracy where Trump arranges to remain in office after losing the 2020 election. His statement about the Chinese President arranging for himself to be President for Life, "That sounds good to me." The principles on which this nation was formed will be pushed aside and forgotten until the current neo dark age has run its course.
My fear is that real explosions will be needed, not fireworks, to reverse the course Putin and Trump have put us upon.
