What's On Tonight (Thursday): Happy Independence Day?

 

Via Gifer.

I'm writing this shortly after 7:30 p.m. on July 1, which may go down in history as Immunity Day. I'm too salty to make many jokes. The Top Pick's A Capitol Fourth. Let's just hope that it's not too late to save democracy.


I played this the day after Election Day 2016. And it's just as relevant. Via YouTube.
