The last vestige of #AmericanExceptionalism is this: While cowards in other countries will cower in silence, the cowards in the #RepublicanParty admit to the national press that “They are all afraid.” https://www.reuters.com/world/us/republican-senator-murkowski-threat-trump-retaliation-we-are-all-afraid-2025-04-17/

Why is it up to #China to tell the truth?

They accused #tRump of bullying and blackmail. That's the truth. These tariffs are outright extortion.

The #US thinks it's unfair that #Australia sells coal to China.

The orange menace is trying to force #Americanexceptionalism onto the world as policy. No, America is NOT first.

Every other country needs to stand together against the US and it's imperialist BS.

"No. Fuck off America." -Every country except israel

Trump’s trade crusade? A gift to China as Europe flees US tariffs for greener pastures. When you start attacking your own vassals, your opponents don’t need a complex strategy… they can just sit back and let you hang yourself.

"We [#America] are the only ones ever to have invoked #article5, the mutual defence obligation of the #Natotreaty, after 9/11; and our #Europeanallies did respond. Per capita, almost as many #Danishsoldiers were killed in the #Afghanwar as were #Americansoldiers. "

"What #Vance and his colleagues seem to have forgotten, though, is that what #America now wants — essentially for other #countries to have the capability to fight #wars all by themselves — is exactly what, until very recently, America did not want at all."

Trump has said he wants to leave school policy to the states, but state officials and lawmakers aren’t clear on what that would look like.

February 27, 2025, By Adam Edelman and Tyler Kingkade

Excerpt: "The largest questions revolve around who would pick up many of the agency’s most crucial responsibilities — among them, the disbursement and oversight of funding for schools with extra needs, including schools with large populations of impoverished students or schools with children with disabilities."

Heh. I finally understand why I never felt kithship with American ceremonies of deference to "the flag", which in retrospect was an icon for group identity.
