Trump names Lawrence Taylor to Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition ~
Lawrence Taylor is a registered sex offender.
(But hey— the 16-year-old’s pimp commanded her to say she was 19 😐)

Politics is a game that hides power. It purports to have "sides" -- A or B, red or blue, good or bad -- so that parasites wield control while followers on each side snipe at one another.
But if we must discuss sides, it should focus on the ridiculously, appallingly rich who grasp, wield, and use power and . . . the rest of us.

USA sanctions Francesca Albanese for working with the International Criminal Court, and for being early at calling the Gaza Genocide a genocide.
This regime is a global menace, to the freedoms of each of us. Where will this end?

#Liberia was created in #Africa by the #USA in the 1800s
Many Liberians are descendants of freed American slaves
Liberia's Declaration of Independence in 1847 charged the USA with #racism, violence, and #inequality; that it forced them to leave and create a new nation
Anyway, here's the ignorant orange turd #Trump meeting Joseph #Boakai, the President of Liberia, not knowing that English is the official language of Liberia (not knowing any history, the complete moron)

What a lot of people don’t know, is that we had two socialists hold federal office in the early 1900s. Before Democrats and Republicans united on the Red Scare, the Socialist Party of America threatened the duopoly’s power, then conviently, the USSR failed at establishing democratic socialism a few years after their successful revolution. I joined the Socialist Party USA to rekindle that flame. To be socialist is to be American. I’m also a Democratic Socialists of America member. #Socialism #USA
US importers are increasingly being asked by foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar. The volatility of the US dollar, which has declined by 8% this year against a basket of other currencies, is driving this trend.
Foreign vendors are seeking to limit their exposure to further swings in the greenback by denominating contracts in local currencies or other alternatives.
SpartacusWhen you've been a subservient puppet of the #US for 80 years and suddenly you wake up.
#Denmark wants to defend its sovereignty against the #USA with the US #F35, in which the US can fully control its flight capabilities since it does not give full control of the radar to the countries that buy it but keeps it only for them.
"Canadian #wildfire smoke is travelling south and making it difficult for some Americans to enjoy their summer, according to a letter from six members of Congress to #Canada's ambassador in Washington"
Great!
So you #USA #Republican #GOP are ready to address #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis now
Right?
The letter isn't just a cringe display of profound ignorance about *why* there are #wildfires
Right?
Fucking morons

It wasn't going anywhere, the mountain.
No matter what you said to it, no matter what names you called it, what slurs you cast upon it, it did not bow down, droop its head, slink away, acquiesce in your opinion.
It just remained: strong, determined, immovable.

Crystallizing the collapse of the #USA's standing in the world under #Trump in one news item:
"#Myanmar’s military leader lauded Mr Donald Trump... after a tariff letter from the #US President believed to be #Washington’s first public recognition of its rule
General Min Aung Hlaing endorsed Mr Trump’s false claim that the 2020 US election was stolen, and thanked him for shutting down funding to US-backed media providing independent coverage of conflict-wracked Myanmar"
The United States has intervened in 128 elections since 1946 to shape political outcomes in their own interests.

Not to do one of those "Americans make everything about themselves" type comments, but bear with me for a moment here:
The "mature #democracy" is dying because it's so lazy defending something it never thought it had to defend
While the emerging democracy vibrantly defends its democracy because it's painfully aware of what it can lose and how much it suffered to get the chance to have one

This is Tank Man on June 5, 1989, on Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, China near Tiananmen Square
Oh, heh

I tried to make a longer rant than my usual clips. So this is more practice than anything else.
A rant about when you're in a bad neighborhood, the only nice looking buildings are run by the government. The only park within a short walking trip of my home (about a mile and a half) is only there as the courthouse, library and #police station needed to look nice.
If the #usa cared about its people, everything would be like this.
