Thursday

Are you upset at the hypocrisy of the people who wrote the words, because only pure souls should utter anything profound, or try to set lofty goals? Are you saying these founders should not have declared independence, or just that we shouldn't celebrate that moment in history because it came before later bad things? And who cares about Freemasons?

Why would you equate the writer's of the Declaration of Independence to the Epstein clique?
