39 Little known fact, VI Lenin , excerpt from the letter to the American Workers:

"The history of modern, civilised America opened with one of those great, really liberating, really revolutionary wars of which there have been so few compared to the vast number of wars of conquest which, like the present imperialist war, were caused by squabbles among kings, landowners or capitalists over the division of usurped lands or ill-gotten gains. That was the war the American people waged against the British robbers who oppressed America and held her in colonial slavery, in the same way as these “civilised” bloodsuckers are still oppressing and holding in colonial slavery hundreds of millions of people in India, Egypt, and all parts of the world." And then he goes on about the English and German imperialists, bourgeoisie and other malcontents...

you just inspired me to post more Lenin !

"The American people resorted to these tactics long ago to the advantage of their revolution. When they waged their great war of liberation against the British oppressors, they had also against them the French and the Spanish oppressors who owned a part of what is now the United States of North America. In their arduous war for freedom, the American people also entered into “agreements” with some oppressors against others for the purpose of weakening the oppressors and strengthening those who were fighting in a revolutionary manner against oppression, for the purpose of serving the interests of the oppressed people. The American people took advantage of the strife between the French, the Spanish and the British; sometimes they even fought side by side with the forces of the French and Spanish oppressors against the British oppressors; first they defeated the British and then freed themselves (partly by ransom) from the French and the Spanish."

94 There was a long-running quibble between Spain and Russia over who was the first to offer a diplomatic recognition to the new United States. Of course, in both cases it was their old imperial government that did it.

Fireworks has a unique social position in the US, thanks to Adams I expect. In other countries, they have always been put on by the powers-that-be to celebrate their primacy. There is a resulting tension, here, between the Big City Committee Show and a bunch of rangy dangerous scalawags on vacant lots. It's a little like defining "militia" as the National Guard.

Yeah, but the militia IIRC is defined by law as able bodied males between the ages of 17-45 in most states.

@CollinRugg
BREAKING: Leaked video shows Donald Trump saying he thinks Kamala Harris will be the Democrat nominee, says she is "so f**king bad."
"She's so bad. She's so pathetic. She's just so f**king bad."
"How did I do with the debate the other night? I kicked that old, broken down pile of cr*p. He's quitting the race."
"I got him out the race, and that means we have Kamala. I think she's going to be better. She's so bad. She's so pathetic. She's just so f**king bad."
"Can you imagine [Biden] with dealing with Putin and the president of China, who's a fierce person? He's a fierce man. Very tough guy."

And if that doesn't happen and Kamala succeeds he gets to say "I told you so." Win-win

202 I've seen attempts to link Trump to Epstein.

I mean, yeah there was a social connection, but as I understand it Trump cut out all association with Epstein as soon as he learned about his skeeviness. And Trump was the only person who was clean and could (and did) testify against Epstein.

Konstantin Somov: 10 Facts from the life of the “Gallant Scenes” master

Masquerade, buffoonery, coquetry, frivolous scenes… "A venal, frivolous thing" — this is how the artist spoke of the series of works that made him famous. A virtuoso watercolourist, an excellent graphic artist, a master of portraiture, a subtle landscape painter — it’s all about Somov. In the year of the 150th anniversary of the artist, we talk about the life and creative path of the remarkable master and one of the founders of the famous Mir Iskusstva society.

212 UK Guardian, July 4, 2024, Joe Biden tells radio show he ‘screwed up’ in debate but vows to stay in race
President gives interviews with stations in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as polls show him trailing Trump by six points

“I had a bad night,” Biden told Milwaukee radio host Earl Ingram. “And the fact of the matter is that I screwed up. I made a mistake. That’s 90 minutes onstage – look at what I’ve done in three and a half years.”

Heh. Look back at what's he's done in 50 years.

Trump Gives Brutally Candid Assessment Of Biden, Harris After Debate Disaster

Former President Donald Trump referred to President Biden as a “broken-down pile of crap” in a leaked video where the Republican White House hopeful suggests his 2024 opponent will soon drop out of the race.

The video clip, obtained by the Daily Beast, shows the 78-year-old presumptive GOP presidential nominee sitting in a golf cart — with his son Barron Trump riding shotgun — as he critiques the 81-year-old president and offers his analysis on the state of the race.
