Founding documents… yeah they better flee the country before it’s too late.
Freedom plane 🤦
This would be a great time for someone to steal the declaration of independence
It would be oddly appropriate for that plane to crash and burn.
I thought this headline was a weird metaphor at first.
Man, I assumed at first it was for safety, but it’s to tour them around?
These would be huge symbolic targets for an attack, this is the absolute worst time to do this.
I have a very strong feeling something is going to go wrong, whether thru accident, incompetence, or maliciousness.
I’m gonna be shocked if they all make it back in perfect condition. Maybe damaged and just not acknowledged.
We have multiple original copies of all of them. They made multiples, to distribute among the colonies and to send to England.
I’ve got triples of the declaration of independence.
Triples are best, triples are safe.
“Oops, something happened to the Constitution. Oh well, I guess it’s gone now. We should make a new one!”
When asked why the Constitution wasn’t one of the included documents, officials responded “what the hell’s that?”
What the f*ck? That’s a new form of masturbation I hadn’t considered America capable of, considering our current leadership is either too dumb to read these documents or too giddy to pretend nobody knows what they mean.
Apparently this happened by train in 1976. I saw that train go by, TIL there were documents on it.
Ah, back when those documents almost still stood for something.
Or we were at least able to share in a mutually convincing fiction that they did.
Reading this comment made me think of the “High watermark” line in Fear and Loathing.
Too embarrassed to stay in DC
Burn them, meaningless anymore.
