We'll hear his name again.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Is this normal?
Apparently it is now.
Call me a cynic, but I don't have a lot of optimism for the USA's future.
Normal for some Americans. Some, but not all.

Well, that is true, but I won't let that get in the way of a little hyperbole.

I remain highly optimistic for America's future. Once the gun nuts, the bigots, and the fascists tear it completely down, we'll have a second American revolution, and rebuild. History has shown that the half-life of oppressive societies is relatively short.
However, in the short term, were fucked!

"America's Mayor" has been served an indictment at his birthday party.
Happy Birthday, Rudy.

I'm confident the USA will bounce back in my children's lifetime, sure. I doubt I'll live to see it myself though.

Yeah, it's a drag. Things will get better as soon as we open fire on the seditionists - but things will get worse until then.

I love the fact that between him Tweeting, "If arizona authorities don't find me by tomorrow morning..." (now deleted), and a post from the Arizona AG saying, "Papers have been served," 55 minutes passed.
55 minutes!
