Donald Trump's tax returns are out and, surprise, surprise, he's dirt poor and kept afloat only by hundreds of billions of dollars in loans that are coming due.
New York Times Article
" The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. ...Ultimately, Mr. Trump has been more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life."

Somehow, I missed that one. Looking at that speech in isolation, I was willing to give the dumbass the benefit of the doubt for once and chalk it up to just a simple anachronism stew, trying to distill the accomplishments of the preceding 244 years’ worth of military actions tying it back to the Revolutionary War into one passage, especially given that it concluded with a reference to the War of 1812 (naturally, this could have been a hell of a lot clearer if it was the case, maybe with a reference to General Grant or D-Day at the very least), but then I read that his excuse was: “The teleprompter did go out and it was actually hard to look at anyway because there was rain all over it but despite the rain it was just a fantastic evening,” and I figured out this more charitable interpretation was almost certainly not the case.

The kind of nations that teach "patriotic education"

Russia
There is no need for "patriotic education" . How about simply education

You're absolutely right. One wonders why we have governments at all, given the futility of organized response in light of human stupidity. A better government, a worse government, we can't credibly expect a difference in outcomes and, really, it's all just the same.
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!

...and to add to that, why even go to school? That's not digging ditches with a shovel or other noble work - what are we even supposed to use words for, huh? We managed just fine for countless millennia without any literacy.

Trump delayed a fucking month before doing anything meaningful a there a million things he could have done to prepare the US . He didn't even wait for RBG's body to grow cold before plotting to replace her with one of his lackeys
God this statement is dumb
