2 hours of Bernie Sanders
Jaded, yet not entirely cynical. Here to support the fediverse.
I needed to read this today. Thought someone else might need it too.
Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

At last count, I see G6 ...
2/ And by no mind left, I mean everything you're thinking, but also that this is so utterly irresponsible and stupid that I can't even...

Anybody who has served in the army can tell what this is. And probably everybody else.
A silent protest by soldiers.
That's how they celebrated the 250th anniversary of the #USArmy and honored their oath to defend the country and the Constitution: the out-of-sync part was their message to the clown-in-chief exactly about that. 👍 👍 !!
Just saw video of Trumpy's Big Birthday Blowout.
I was completely stunned to see the soldiers marching. Because they weren't marching. They were out for a stroll. No one was walking in step, half of them didn't even do a basic eyes left move when they passed the review stand. That's one of the most simple drill evolutions there is, you literally just *turn your head* and keep marching.
I know, I'm not US military, but drill is drill. It's been the way it is for about 300 years, since the evolution of firearms as a major weapon of war, for old reasons that don't really matter, having to do with the accuracy of those early firearms. It's retained for its ability to build cohesion, discipline, and quick instinctive response to orders.
And drill has a look to it. This was not that.
For me, that was a signal: "We don't want to be here either. We're not with him. We're here because we're good troops, and we do what we're ordered when it's a legal order. But he can't make us respect him."
Just to interpret what you can see for yourselves on the video. A good half of those troops are *not* on Trump's side.
Any vets out there want to chime in?
I take it all back. $45 million was a small price to pay to humiliate President Trump at his own parade and mobilize millions of Americans across the nation to demonstrate against him.
Just because it makes Trump miserable:
Please boost.
