(58,785 posts)very appropriate as Putin is at war with us to reestablish that hegemony. It was banished because of what it meant to the people, rather than its actually words, and Putin brought it back. I have to admit the music makes a magnificent anthem (singable also), and the lyrics are rather reminiscent of America the Beautiful.
My husband and I lived in West Hollywood in the early 1970s. I was disgusted to learn there was a Trump star in Hollywood at all. Hollywood Blvd had declined severely when we were there, but it did evoke sentimental echoes of the Klieg lights heralding premiers that I saw as a child. I didn't realize then that there was whole other level, of new degradation, ahead.
Thanks, Mitch96, for posting the overture. It's been a long time, until now.

(66,388 posts)Regular Army Russian soldiers still wear the pull-on jackboot style marching boots. Theyre relatively easy to come by in the post-Cold War era.
Those guys dont. But I didnt care. Hats off to them.
(Specialized Russian soldiers, like airborne troops, wear the more familiar lace-up boots).

(8,678 posts)this tells me is that Trump being owned by the Russians is now in the mainstream. I think up to now many didnt get it or thought it was exaggerated. Now its like common knowledge.
This has to be a good sign.

(9,989 posts)A lady I knew had worked as a highway flagger - she said, when it was really hot, she had to be careful to turn down most of the beers, or she'd get too hammered to run the STOP/GO pole!
If our comrades worked it right, they could rotate through 4 or 6 "guards" as they are being bought beers around the corner.

But the guard detail is fucking brilliant.

(37,457 posts)President Donald Trumps star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was destroyed Wednesday morning by a pickaxe.
Officers responded to a call at the stars location on Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue around 3:30 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Ray Brown told TIME. They found that Trumps star had been destroyed with a pickaxe.
Photos from the scene from reporters and witnesses show the damaged Trump star with a pickaxe lying alongside a pile of rubble. The star appears to be gouged out, leaving a hole.
