Family in New England since 1635. Amazed that Russian mafia took control of the US government via drumpf. Edit* The reboot looks worse than the original.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Wrong Elon - most of the world hates your fucking guts. You’re not a visionary. You’re an online grievance machine with a God complex and the emotional maturity of a spoiled 14-year-old.

Fuck this guy.

@ClintonDesveaux There is nothing conservative about this man. You obviously have not been paying attention.

@mattdagley I’ve never waited in line for a kiosk there. Frankly, it’s not that common to see a line up at the counter. And you have a pretty dim view of what constitutes smartness.

Tommy Hunter, Canada’s Country Gentleman, has died.
He hosted The Tommy Hunter Show from 1960 to 1992 and gave many early country artists some of their first exposure including Garth Brooks and Shania Twain

A European capital is on fire because Russia spent the night firing missiles at civilians in their beds.

Kyiv is full of smoke. People are buried under rubble.

This is terrorism.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

I’m currently witnessing dozens of huge explosions in Kyiv city centre. A hotel near my apartment is on fire. Residential buildings damaged. This is not war against soldiers, it’s Russia terrorising civilians in their homes. A sad and pathetic nation.

[D.Radka, #NAFO 🇨🇿🤝🇺🇦 @DakdaR22]

- Petr Pavel,
President of the Czech Republic 🇨🇿:

"The fact that Ukraine did not fall within three days, as Moscow signalled, but has now been bravely resisting daily attacks for four years, not only on the front line but also in cities and villages across the country, is due to the immense sacrifice and determination of its people to defend their land, families, and homes.

Helping Ukraine defend itself is not only a strategic necessity, but also a moral obligation.”

I couldn't agree more....

🧐🤔YOU WANTED A WALL, TRUMP? YOU’LL HAVE ONE.
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded to Trump’s threats:
“So you voted to build a wall.
Well then, dear Americans — even if geography isn’t your strong suit, and you see America as a country rather than a continent — you should know that on the other side of that wall stand 7 billion people.
And if the word ‘people’ doesn’t resonate with you, let’s call them ‘consumers.’
Those 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhone to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can trade Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti, and within six months replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW — brands that are already more popular in many places.
They can cancel DirecTV.
And even if they choose not to, they can stop watching Hollywood films and turn instead to higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe — with richer storytelling and better filmmaking.
Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and visit the Xcaret resort in Cancún instead — or explore destinations across Mexico, Canada, or South America.
Even in Mexico, you can find better burgers than McDonald’s — with higher nutritional value.
Have you ever seen pyramids in the United States?
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan have ancient wonders — none of them in the U.S.
If they were, Trump would probably have bought and resold them by now.
We know Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand. There’s Adidas — and even Mexican brands like Panama.
We understand economics better than you think.
And we also know that when those 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy — trapped behind its own self-imposed wall — will begin to collapse to the point where you’ll be begging for help.
We didn’t want to do this.
But you wanted a wall?
Well.
You’ve got one.”
Her approval rating has reached a historic level — according to a recent poll, it stands at 85%.

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

@flowasthetao2 @Bradvibing Do you often compliment yourself this way. I mean it’s perfectly warranted, just curious. Self-affirmation is empowering.

[Very Brexit Problems @VeryBrexitProbs]

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you.

​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world.

2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled.

3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations.

4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East.

5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon.

6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill.

7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs.

8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt.

9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world.

10. We’re not the freeloaders.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

I would say paid, not played, by Putin, Iran and other interested parties. You may get fooled once or twice, but not even Trump deserves the benefit of the doubt that he's just an idiot anymore.
