    - In the US, some political assassinations of Democratic politicians. This is the fascist state in the making.

    - Trump got his military parade on Saturday. There weren't many people there, and it was a somewhat sad and meager setup. Even Trump fell asleep.

    - Last Saturday, well-attended 'No Kings' protests took place at 2,000 locations in the US. There was a striking amount of enthusiasm for them, and these protests were mainly festive.

    - The Trump administration is considering imposing a travel ban to the US on another 36 countries. The country is therefore choosing to be ignored.

    Wrong Again Pork and Cheese.

    NPR noted that more than 200,000 lined the streets referring to historical comparison in 1991 though todays crowd was better described as
    "tens of thousands" npr.org

    Time summarized it this way:
    Time estimated tens of thousands of people came out.
    Both examples are a far cry of your 2000.

    Elon Musk is talking about starting a new political party... Does he really think anyone still wants to follow him?

    Trump wants to impose an additional 10% tariff on countries that cooperate with BRICS nations.

    Trump has shifted the import tariffs, which were set to resume on July 9, to August 1. It seems that fewer and fewer countries are taking this whole situation with the import tariffs seriously anymore.
