On the United States' 250th birthday 🎂

Tangent as I'm not a huge SNL fan . . . but I enjoyed their patriotic sketches featuring Nate Bargatze as George Washington and this one with Walton Goggins on the Second Amendment or simply "Guns”.

A good book that shows that Portuguese neutrality is frequently overrated.

[Margarida Portela 💊 ⚔️ 🇵🇹 @Margarida1914]

I have already read The Romanov, Vol. I, from Simon Sebag Montefiore, and loved it. But also enjoyed a lot "Catherine, the Great" from Ribert K. Massie.

Other excelent book so far was writen by Jason F. Stanley, "How Fascism Works".
Very good too...

@HistoryPegg I fully understand what you are feeling. It happens a lot and there are professional "bend over and kiss their feet" people that, when we see... are promoted only for @ss licking. But we must and we will endure and have what is ours!

@militaryhistori There were several going around the internet. With cardinals inside the chapel doing sardines, or "fevras", pork stakes that we usually do, or images of the white smoke going out saying "well, with 4 portuguese inside is it a new Pope? Or some sardines?! We may never know" 🤣🤣😆
