Freedom can fade away

On our national day (Sunday) we celebrate freedom from work (day off in lieu Monday). And we have fireworks. I know you do, too, but we also have fireworks on Victoria Day. We love our freedom from work.

Here, you can use the above plastic tablecloth for your barbecue on 4th of July. If you are a toddler from Honduras or 10-year-old from El Salvador whose mother is asking for asylum, you go to the next photo...until such time as a hate-addled man decides otherwise.

I've been resisting concluding that Trump is off his rocker, but it's getting harder. The last month or so has been insane -- attacking allies, promoting dictators, treating children as threats to the nation. And then there's the NAFTA sunset clause, which would destroy the economies of all three countries if enacted.

He has unified Canada, though. Trudeau has the support of the other two major parties against Trump. One of the first things Ontario's new premier, supposedly a Trump-like figure (he's Rob Ford's brother) did was to announce he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Trudeau against Trump.

I haven't resisted at all! It just seems obvious that he's nuts, especially if you're a mental health professional. Dangerously so. Yes, he's also unified Europe, at least in the sense that they are making deals to cover their own behinds rather than waiting for this defective man to remain their ally.

I can't fathom the rapid demise of the USA, but the longer this goes on thanks to the cowardice of the Republican party and idiocy of Trump worshipers, the more it looks possible. I honestly think it's a goal of Trump and his rich friends, because the more money spent on international endeavors via taxes, the less cash there is for wealthy people to pocket. Could it be that they really think this is all that matters?

Ew, Rob Ford had a brother? At least it he's temporarily distracted by shenanigans to the south.

Grazie, Gabi. I hope your new nationalist isn't as evil as ours.

true

it can fade away

BTW what can we feed freedom with ?

Possibly our lives, if it comes to that. It's happened many times before, eh?

We really shouldn't have to be celebrating freedom in this day and age............we should be taking it for granted.

It just goes to show how fragile a concept freedom is..!!

A super pic Diane and a great narrative and link.................

Excellent point, Keith. Fragile, yes, so fragile that it's shocking.

The world has gone mad !!!!
