🇺🇸🇺🇸🧐🤔“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”
Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.
This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:
“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.
Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.
‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.
Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.
And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.
You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

I will always think of @Glen_Hansard busking on Grafton Street each Christmas Eve for the Simon community and the homeless - the Big Busk, which he started (and which inevitably also involved Bono and Sinéad O'Connor), was a huge part of returning to Dublin for the holidays, for me and many like me, living away.
It made sense to someone who was himself a former Dublin busker - he quit school in Ballymun at 13 to play on his city's streets. He even played an Irish busker on a Simpsons episode ("In the Name of the Grandfather"). The Commitments, The Frames, the Swell Season came after, and so did an Oscar and an Emmy. And still every Christmas he was out busking for the homeless, and getting every other Irish musician to, too.
And Once was both the perfect romantic comedy - the right amount bittersweet, no happy endings but we can value the moments of closeness we get, as long as they last - and the perfect Dublin film. I danced to Falling Slowly at my wedding.

I’m 32.
At 27, I became a multi-millionaire, but I felt emptier than ever.
Then, I discovered Alan Watts’ lectures and he changed my life forever.
Here are his 5 most powerful lessons (that will change your life too):
The flooding in Nairobi is not getting any media attention. The Makuru area is particularly badly affected and many of the families with children in Gatoto school have lost their homes. Please share. Gary
