The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part.
Particularly notable right now:
"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

I remember when the first Matrix came out and they had a line about how the computers recreated human society at its peak for the matrix simulation, and it just happened to look like the current year of 1999 and I thought, well, this will feel dated really soon.

Let's be clear about a few things:
a) the fact that Jeffress won't share proof is telling

Robert Morris, the founder of Gateway Church in Texas, has said trans people are a threat to children.
He helped Trump get elected.
He prayed over Trump in the White House.
And he just got indicted on five counts of “lewd or indecent acts to a child.”
