Government Corruption
They've got George Floyd on their hands

[ColonelCassad] Destruction of a wall with a mural of George Floyd in the USA.



Earlier in Washington, a huge Black Lives Matter sign was removed from the city center.

The issue of tearing down two monuments to George Floyd is being seriously discussed.

Now all that remains is to release police officer Derek Chauvin and dig up Floyd's golden coffin.

Also today, it is reported that the Trump administration is demanding that European companies providing services to the US government abandon racial and gender programs as part of the previously implemented agenda. Those who persist are threatened with excommunication from American contracts.

Perestroika. Glasnost. New thinking.
Rozhin subscribes to the notion that the USA is undergoing our own Glasnost, a bit of revenge for the 1990s.
I'd have to agree with Rozhin. Perestroika (restructuring) definitely applies. Glasnost (transparency) seems like a pretty good fit after the Obama-Biden dictatorships. The rampant corruption of both, plus the political slime tactics that characterized the Dems' "сопротивление" (Resistance) during the first Trump administration gave us sixteen years of political nightmares and has pretty much given Trump a free hand, just like the August '91 coup attempt by the old guard generals pretty much a.) discredited Gorbachev because it almost worked, b.) gave rise to Yeltsin and the democratization movement and finally c.) gave us Putin to deal with because Yeltsin was a drunk and a piss poor administrator even when he was sober. Putin wanted to reestablish the "normality" of the Soviet era. Notice that General Aleksandr Lebed, who was a genuine hero (Moldova and Chechnya), tragically perished in a "helicopter crash" (sound familiar?) in 2002, like so many subsequent pains in the Putin underwear. Lebed grew up in Novocherkassk, where 23 people, including the requisite women and kiddies, were killed and disappeared in the suppression of food riots (the Новочеркасский расстрел) that were hidden until Glasnost kicked in.
