It's unbelievable what the American people put up with from these evil clowns.
In other countries, the streets would already be burning.

“There was a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House today. …
the ceremony today at the White House was not solemn. Before the ceremony, Secretary of [Defense] Pete Hegseth and several generals and a clutch of other white men were standing off to the side talking. One of the men clapped the other on the back, as if he had just made a difficult putt on the golf course. Another man said something funny, and several of them laughed.“
Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]

A quotation from George Orwell
Why is the goose-step not used in England? There are, heaven knows, plenty of army officers who would be only too glad to introduce some such thing. It is not used because the people in the street would laugh. Beyond a certain point, military display is only possible in countries where the common people dare not laugh at the army.George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1941-02-19), “The Lion and the Unicorn: Socialism and the English Genius,” Part 1 “England Your England,” sec. 2, The Searchlight Books [ed. Fyvel and Orwell]

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Quoted in Gay Zenola MacLaren, Morally We Roll Along (1938). A recollection of something Twain said to the author when she was…
A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments on it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1863-11-02) to James H. Hackett
