Independence Day arrives at a time when the United States is roiled by hearings over the Jan. 6 insurrection, awash in turmoil over high court rulings on abortion and guns and struggling to maintain the common bonds that keep it together. Yet many also see cause to celebrate: The pandemic continues to be on the wane and, despite its faults, America’s democracy survives. “I think many of us are feeling conflicted about celebrating 4th of July right now,” obstacle race champion and attorney Amelia Boone tweeted as the week gave way to the long holiday weekend. In her eyes patriotism is also about fighting for change, she said, adding, “I’m not giving up on the US.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] That sentiment is no doubt shared by millions who on Monday will be celebrating the nation’s 246th birthday and anniversary of independence from English rule.

  • Ha, Ha! Republican Voters Against Trump Release Pointed New Ad
    The Daily Dot, Monday - 04/29/2024 - 08:13 AM

    A Republican organization opposed to Trump slammed conservative figures who recognize the danger posed by Orange Mussolini but plan to vote for him anyway. Via HuffPost: The video from Republican Voters Against Trump is an update of a 2022 spot from the organization that resembles the old ASPCA ads featuring singer Sarah McLachlan. Instead of urging viewers to help save animals, the spokesperson here warns of prominent Trump supporters suffering from “partisan derangement syndrome.” That list includes former Attorney General Bill Barr, who has called Trump a “horror show,” dismissed his claims of election fraud as “bullshit” and said Trump grew “detached from reality” after losing in 2020. Also prominent hypocrites Chris Sununu and Mitch McConnell.

    By now, you've heard about smelly Donald Trump sleep-farting in court daily, and I'm sure that Eric Trump heard about that, too. Eric told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo how great his father's "stamina" is and said he's "never seen anything like it in my life." That's a tell. Donald says that or says something is worse than "the world has ever seen" when he lies. "He's going all over the place," Eric said of his father, who has been golfing on his days off where, hopefully, he's not farting on his Mar-a-Lago guests.
