To: Secret Agent Man

We can use most of the Declaration of Independence again:

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good...

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers....

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures....

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation...

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States...

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury...

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us...

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people...

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us...

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Don’t need to reinvent the grievances, tyrants pretty much do the same stuff, different day

Absolutely, I made that comparison back when Obama was in office. But it applies much more so now.
