Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.
This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.
*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
♦️ Décidément, Madame @MLP_officiel, il n’y a pas un seul domaine que vous arrivez à maîtriser, pas une seule donnée pour laquelle vous soyez capable d’apporter une vision claire et professionnelle de la société.
Vous êtes pitoyablement mauvaise en droit, en économie, en matière militaire, en matière d’énergie, d’écologie, de stratégie, d’alliances, de retraites, mais également en matière de données scolaires.
Tellement mauvaise que vous n’avez pas d’autre choix que de vous référer à des graphiques d’un militant d’extrême droite qui publie de faux graphiques en mélangeant des données, des méthodes qui ont évolué, et des sources tronquées.
Ce n’est pas seulement pitoyable, c’est d’une bêtise abyssale quand on prétend se porter candidate à la plus haute fonction de l’État.
Quand allez-vous apprendre ? Quand allez-vous sérieusement vous rapprocher des véritables économistes de ce pays et vous entourer de conseillers reconnus, au lieu de chercher des données chez de petits militants en mal d’existence ?
Voici une réponse factuelle au graphique stupide de @marc_vanguard
Pourquoi ce graphique est trompeur.
Il parle de CM2, donc PISA est hors sujet. PISA évalue des élèves de 15 ans, pas des élèves de CM2. L’utiliser implicitement ou visuellement pour donner une impression de comparaison générale du « niveau scolaire » est donc abusif. (Ministère de l’Education nationale)
La source DEPP utilisée concerne une enquête spécifique : « Lire, écrire, compter », sur le calcul en fin de CM2, avec seulement quatre points de mesure : 1987, 1999, 2007 et 2017. Ce n’est pas une courbe annuelle continue. (https://t.co/ebcSZrfhSs)
Le graphique transforme un indice base 100 en 1987 en apparente « baisse de 30 % ». Or un indice n’est pas une mesure directe du niveau. Passer de 100 à 70 ne signifie pas que les élèves auraient perdu 30 % de compétences.
Le choix de 1987 maximise l’effet visuel : c’est le point de départ le plus ancien et le plus haut de la série. C’est un choix de présentation qui dramatise mécaniquement la pente.
Le graphique ne mesure pas « le niveau scolaire » : il mesure une partie du calcul en fin de CM2. Il ne dit rien, à lui seul, sur le français, la compréhension, le raisonnement, les autres niveaux scolaires ou l’ensemble du système éducatif.
Les données plus récentes et spécifiquement CM2 existent aussi : CEDRE compare les mathématiques en fin d’école sur 2008, 2014 et 2019. La DEPP indique une stabilité entre 2008 et 2014, puis une baisse en 2019 (mais pas la conséquence de la politique de E Macron).
Ce graphique mélange un indicateur partiel, un point de départ choisi pour maximiser la chute, une courbe non annuelle et une lecture abusive.
C’est une mise en scène politique des chiffres, pas une analyse rigoureuse.
Les pires détracteurs de la France Insoumise sont unanimes sur les plateaux TV :
— « La france insoumise c’est le seul parti qui bosse, qui a un vrai programme et qui n’est pas un club d’élus. »
Voilà.
I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality. 25th this man immediately. https://t.co/aY1g5q1dpz
Although John Trump is trying to deceive the masses, remember this: he will not recover. It’s the law of human nature.
Is he creating jobs in America? No.
Is he making life more affordable? No.
Is he funding research for the next major breakthroughs? No.
Is he bolstering the U.S. economy and revamping infrastructure? No.
Is he focusing on next-generation planes, railways, and transportation? No.
Is he closing inequality and giving a fair shot to all Americans, regardless of race, gender, or religion? No.
Is he helping more Americans gain access to healthcare, childcare, and education? No.
What about housing? Has he made it easier for Americans to afford homes or cars? No.
Are drugs and guns still killing tens of thousands of Americans? Yes.
Is he doing anything about it that the country can see? No.
He’s spending roughly $12 billion a week on war, and now he’s trying to get out of a conflict he started—after damaging America’s reputation, weakening its position in the Middle East, and further ballooning the national debt.
That is not a great legacy.
When Trump leaves office:
The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department.
The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center.
The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico.
The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom.
Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired.
The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president.
Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference.
The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies.
The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists.
Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it.
The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters.
U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators.
And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.
@labar0nn3_ Iy a eu quand même un longue histoire de l esclavage pratiqué en France pendant le siècle des lumières.
Il suffit simplement d en parler dans l enseignement francais .Pas la peine de refaire l histoire des wolof...
