This is not a day to celebrate the American government.
It’s a day to celebrate OVERTHROWING government.
Thank you for your cooperation.
#IndependenceDay
🇺🇸 AMAZING! Japan just did a whole FIREWORKS SHOW celebrating America’s birthday today, as it’s now July 4 in Tokyo
This is what a REAL ally looks like.
Unlike most of our European “allies”
God bless America, and God bless Japan! 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
They didn’t call it “Sentinel” or “Guardian.”
They called it “Flock.”
As in: something you herd, track, count, and keep from wandering off the reservation.
They see us as livestock.
Zero respect.
Quick reminder that America isn't actually 250 years old. It was born on March 30, 2003 when legendary American patriots, Limp Bizkit, performed "Rollin'" for The Undertaker's entrance at WrestleMania XIX.
America burned Japan's first gift of cherry trees. All 2,000 of them, on President Taft's direct order.
The 1910 shipment arrived in DC crawling with insects and nematodes. Agriculture inspectors condemned the lot, Taft signed off on the bonfire, and the State Department braced for a diplomatic disaster. Tokyo's mayor, Yukio Ozaki, responded by sending 3,020 more, grafted from the famous grove along the Arakawa River.
Those trees have spent a century paying the friendship back.
Four days after Pearl Harbor, vandals chopped down four of them. Park officials renamed the survivors "Oriental" cherry trees for the rest of the war to protect them from axes.
Then came the twist. By 1952 the original Arakawa grove in Tokyo, the parent stock, had nearly died from wartime neglect. Japan asked Washington for help. The Park Service shipped budwood from DC's trees back across the Pacific and restored the grove that created them. When a flood wiped out more Japanese trees in 1982, horticulturists took 800 fresh cuttings from the Tidal Basin.
These 250 new trees solve a real problem too. The Tidal Basin is sinking, and a $133 million seawall rebuild forced crews to rip out roughly 150 trees. Japan offered replacements before anyone asked, timed to America's 250th birthday.
So the genetics run in a loop. Tokyo's grove seeded Washington's. Washington's saved Tokyo's. The saplings going in this spring descend from both.
114 years of diplomacy, running on grafted branches.

Putin to Western People 🛎️🛎️🛎️
Putin: I want ordinary Western people hear me, too. You are being persistently told that your current difficulties are the result of Russia’s hostile actions and that you have to pay for the efforts to counter the alleged mythical Russian threat from your own pockets.
All of that is a lie.
The truth is that the problems faced by millions of people in the West are the result of many years of actions by the ruling elite of your respective countries, their mistakes, and short-sighted policies and ambitions. This elite is not thinking about how to improve the lives of their citizens in Western countries. They are obsessed with their own self-serving interests and super profits.
The government is installing flock cameras to spy on us.
We OWN these motherfuckers. They are PUBLIC SERVANTS. They work for US.
We should be installing flock cameras in every taxpayer funded office in the country to watch EVERY FUCKING MOVE THEY MAKE.
Have gay pride parades IF you want.
Go to gay pride parades IF you want.
But if a child sees your genitalia because you got naked at a gay pride event you SHOULD do 20 years in prison.
Being gay is no excuse for this kind of behaviour.
@DiedSuddenly_ So just sit there and do nothing about it? No, municipalities can answer for higher taxes over something that constituents clearly DO NOT WANT.

Reminder: Ben Franklin was the biggest baller of all time
My wife hates my lifestyle. Even though I’m averaging $300-500k a year from trading she hates that I trade for 2-3 hours a day then play playstation and chill for the rest of it. It doesn’t matter how much I make, she treats me like her unemployed bum husband who won’t get a job.
