Kad smo kod ovoga... Kao dete su me moji vodili na paradu kod skupštine za dan pobede. Pre okupacije Krima sam redovno gledao moskovske parade, koje su bile mnogo veće i bolje nego SFRJ. Gledao sam i po neku kinesku i one severnokorejske. Nije da sam neki fan i fanatik, ali su mi parade uvek bile zanimljive, a nekako najlepša mi je uvek bila francuska za dan bastilje.

 

I zato sam danas pogledao Trampovu paradu, jer sam hteo da vidim kako to radi najmoćnija i najraznovrsnija vojska na svetu, sa elitnim vojnim školama, elitnim orkestrima i... Gadno sam se razočarao. Ono je toliko siromašno i jadno, vojnici ne marširaju nego se šetkaju, malo tehnike, malo oklopa... Lik koji nosi dron visoko iznad glave me dokusirio, ali daleko najbizarniji deo je što je parada imala jebene sponzore! I to, naravno, neka kripto firma. Sve što mogu da kažem je ono što uporno i iskreno govorim od januara: Ne-stvar-no!

"Ako ovaj incident gledaš izolovano" - pa društvo nije izolovano, politika nije izolovana. Kao kad bih na napisao "Ako sam čin pucanja ne gledaš, izolovano ti ostane da je hodao naoružan čovek, a naoružani ljudi hodaju Amerikom još od osnivanja, tako da nema potrebe bilo koga kriviti". 

Pa jbte nije ovo isto I pokusaj atentata na predsednika! Kako ih smestis u isti kos? 

Nebitno, ja sam objasnila zasto je pokusaj da se prave politicki poeni na ovakvim stvarima nerazumno. Ali nemoj da razum sprecava narativ.

Americka tradicija je da se te parade ne prave, narocito ne na predsednikov rodjendan. Ovo da je neko pomenuo pre 10 godina mislili bi da je lud.

MAGA agenda je uglavnom stetna. No deo koji se odnosi na Medicare i Medicaid ukazuje na dublje probleme u drustvu. Nas "normalne" gradjane ne pljackaju oni koji primaju drzavnu pomoc nego najbogatiji sloj koji preko tih programa svoje troskove poslovanja (plate zaposlenima) prebacuju na budzet, tj. porezne i druge namete koje placamo svi. 

Ovde je to dobro i jednostavno objasnjeno (boldovi u tekstu originalni, autorovi):

 

Don't let GOP billionaires' gripes fool you — this is not ok

by Thom Hartmann

June 15, 2025 3:28PM ET

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Mehmet Oz, and two Trump administration colleagues recently published an op-ed in The New York Times justifying the GOP’s attempt to cut Medicaid and SNAP benefits by imposing draconian prove-you’re-working paperwork and hoop-jumping requirements on recipients. In their article titled “Trump Leadership: If You Want Welfare and Can Work, You Must,” they noted: “Our agencies are united in a very straightforward policy approach: Able-bodied adults receiving benefits must work.”

Which raises the question: “Why?”

Why is it that anybody working full-time in the richest country in the history of the world should need any sort of government assistance just to eat and stay healthy? Shouldn’t a full-time paycheck — any paycheck for any sort of work — pay enough that people can live a decent life?

As Senate majority leader John Thune said yesterday, “The best health care is a job…” What he failed to note was that that’s true of Denmark but not America.

What, after all, is the point of a minimum wage if not to make sure that people who are working don’t have to steal just to stay alive? Shouldn’t any reasonable capitalist society be organized in such a way that a single full-time worker can raise a family, put their kids through school, take an annual vacation, and have a reasonable retirement?

This is not a new or novel idea.

Among the developed world, the U.S. stands virtually alone in imposing punitive, bureaucratic work requirements for access to food, housing, and health care, all services that are treated as rights in most other wealthy nations.

Welfare in pretty much every other developed country in the world is limited to the disabled, sick, or caregivers because everybody who’s working is making enough to cover their basic living expenses. In Denmark, for example, McDonald’s workers earn $22/hour, in addition to getting six weeks of paid vacation, generous pension contributions, overtime pay, and paid sick leave. (And a Big Mac costs ~$5.75 there, compared to $5.69 here.)

This “if you work, you can live a good life” notion isn’t even a new or novel idea for the United States. Progressive Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, a quarter-century before his distant cousin Franklin got a minimum wage passed into law, proposed the same in August, 1912, when he told an audience in Chicago:

“We stand for a living wage … [It] must include enough to secure the elements of a normal standard of living — a standard high enough to make morality possible, to provide for education and recreation, to care for immature members of the family, to maintain the family during periods of sickness, and to permit of reasonable saving for old age.”

We got close to this during the golden age of America’s middle class, created by FDR’s New Deal programs in the 1933-1980 era, when about a third of Americans had a good union job which formed the wage and benefit floors other employers had to compete with, causing two-thirds of Americans to be able to live a middle class life with a single paycheck.

I saw this myself. When I was five, my father sold Rexair vacuum cleaners and World Book Encyclopedias door-to-door. We lived in a garage converted to a one-bedroom house and every month visited what my brothers and I called the “cheese store” (the county-run surplus food facility) to get a free brick of American cheese, a big canvas bag of dried macaroni, and a box of powdered milk.

Then, the next year, dad got a job at a unionized tool-and-die shop. Within a year we’d bought a three-bedroom house in a new south Lansing suburb and dad had a brand-new car, the first that didn’t have holes in the floorboard. Every year we took a vacation, driving all over the country. We bought our first-ever TV that year, along with a living room full of furniture to sit on to watch it.

In other words, a good job and the Machinists Union lifted my family from poverty into the middle class. And we stayed there: in 2006, dad died in that same house he’d bought brand-new in 1957, which is now occupied by one of my nieces and her family.

By 1980, about a third of all American workers were represented by a union. Between that and the top 74% income tax bracket, America’s middle class grew faster than any had in world history.

Income and wealth were broadly distributed: the average CEO only took, at most, 30 times his employee’s salaries. The top tax rates made it a waste of time to try to take more out of the company, and stock distributions as compensation and corporate stock buybacks were functionally illegal then.

All that changed, of course, with the neoliberal Reagan Revolution of 1981, which led us to the mess we’re in today.

It’s a moral crime that anybody working full time in America must depend on the largess of government or philanthropy to live a decent life: a minimum wage should provide for a minimum standard of living, not a poverty-filled struggle.

A study published by The Journal of the American Medical Association found that states that raised their minimum wage into the $15/hour range (DC, Washington, California, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Illinois) had welfare participation rates that were about a third lower than states hanging onto the federal $7.25/hour minimum.

In other words, welfare benefits have become subsidies to cheap-labor employers; without those benefits, people couldn’t afford to work for crap wages and employers would be forced by the marketplace itself to pay their workers better.

Back in 2016, the Economic Policy Institute found that raising the minimum wage from $6.75 to $8.00 per hour back in the day in California decreased state public assistance payments by $2.7 billion. It only makes sense.

Thus, the entire GOP effort to impose draconian, paperwork-rich “work requirements” on Medicaid and SNAP recipients boils down to two things:

1. Cheap labor Republicans want us all to pay taxes to subsidize the lifestyles of people whose employers should be paying them enough to live a decent life.

2. They want to make it harder and harder for those people who are legitimately in poverty because of disability, age, or a lack of local work opportunities to get benefits so they can reduce federal outlays to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

In other words, it’s all about screwing working people to keep taxes low on billionaires and profits high in corporate America.

So, the next time some billionaire-funded Republican mouthpiece like Kennedy or Oz complains about “able-bodied people on welfare,” don’t just challenge the cruelty — challenge the con.

Ask them why they think the richest nation in the history of the world can’t afford to guarantee that a full-time job comes with a living wage.

Ask why they’re hell-bent on protecting low wages and corporate profits instead of working families.

And then ask the real question: Who benefits when work doesn’t pay — the struggling single mom trying to feed her kids, or the billionaire writing the checks to keep this scam going?

...operations in the U.S. to support the branding claim.

 

While full contract details remain under review, according to direct sourcing out of China’s manufacturing network, here is where Trump Mobile T1 will actually be built:

 

•Foxconn Interconnect Technology & FIH Mobile — Shenzhen, Guangdong

 

Will manufacture and supply the core Trump Mobile T1 base plates, internal circuit architecture, and primary electronic assemblies.

 

•BOE Technology Group — Hefei, Anhui (major production); Beijing (HQ)

 

Will provide the AMOLED display panels used in Trump Mobile T1, delivering the entire screen inventory directly from Chinese fabs.

 

•Luxshare Precision Industry — Dongguan, Guangdong

 

Will supply all internal connectors and signal transfer components critical to the internal structure of Trump Mobile T1.

 

•Goertek Inc. — Weifang, Shandong

 

Will provide all acoustic hardware for Trump Mobile T1, including microphones, speakers, and audio drivers.

 

•BYD Co., Ltd. — Shenzhen, Guangdong

 

Will produce the lithium-ion batteries that will power every Trump Mobile T1 handset, fully manufactured in China.

 

•Lens Technology Co., Ltd. Changsha, Hunan

 

Will fabricate the glass panels for both the front and rear of Trump Mobile T1, shipped directly from their Chinese facilities.

 

•China Northern Rare Earth Group High-Tech Co., Ltd. — Baotou, Inner Mongolia

 

Will supply the rare earth elements essential for Trump Mobile T1’s magnets, speakers, haptic motors, and high-performance display modules.

 

Despite the rhetoric, Trump Mobile T1 is overwhelmingly dependent on Chinese manufacturing at every stage — design, components, subassemblies, and raw material supply chains. The administration’s recent rare earth agreement with China only deepens the phone’s structural reliance on Beijing, while continuing to present the product to the American public as a symbol of domestic production.

 

This is not “Made in the USA.” This is assembled in the USA — from parts fully controlled, fabricated, and shipped out of China.

Edit:

Yes, military officers in the U.S. Armed Forces serve at the pleasure of the President. This means the President can dismiss or remove a commissioned officer at any time. This principle is a key aspect of civilian control over the military, a fundamental tenet of American democracy

.....

The phrase "at the pleasure of the President" in the context of law generally means that a political appointee in the executive branch can be removed by the President at any time, for any reason or no reason, without requiring Senate approval or a formal process. This principle applies to many high-level positions, including Cabinet secretaries and other political appointees.

........

 

In the US military, the phrase "serve at the pleasure of the President" signifies that officers, including those in high-ranking positions, can be removed from their posts at any time by the President, regardless of the length of their appointed term. This principle is a cornerstone of civilian control over the military and ensures the President's authority as Commander-in-Chief.
