Jul 4, 2026, 4:39 PMThe United States is 250 years old today and, like some seniors, it shows signs of memory problems, has fallen victim to scammers, and is struggling just to stay alive.

“Fallen victim to scammers” 😆👍
(((Cindy Weinstein)))CindyWeinstein@zirk.usJul 4, 2026, 4:49 PMI have often thought that our nation suffers from mild cognitive impairment, though it has entered a later stage, unable to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) like being able to afford groceries, going to the doctor, not being able to be in the world because of ICE. In addition to hallucinations (election fraud, communists, climate change deniers).

Compared to some countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, his statements are more open, and his culture is more comprehensive. If you think this view is wrong, welcome to share your opinion.- Anthony Brian Mallgrenabmallgren@mastodon.socialJul 4, 2026, 9:53 PM
@CindyWeinstein @LoganFive That's not even the worst. Purposely leaving backdoors open in like all of the inventions is one of the craziest things. "Can't you just do it right? Here's the proper fix." "You going to make us, then cover lost services income?" That's crazy. Looking at a Tesla/WayMo, like, "Is this the contraption I would like to die in?"
☑️ CathKletskous@mastodon.socialJul 4, 2026, 4:52 PM@LoganFive For a country, 250 years is still at toddler's age and it shows.

Ted JohnsonHalfHeartedFanatic@mas.toJul 5, 2026, 4:25 AM@Kletskous @LoganFive's quip is funny, but the analogy falls apart, doesn't it? Trump is the avatar of our "terrible twos."
Nadia ☮️🍉🌲🐷🐮🐾lagrandecedre@mastodon.socialJul 4, 2026, 4:58 PM@LoganFive 250 years of brutal violence exploitation and suppression of democracy in the interests of a small elite group. America has always been a lie.

It's kinda neat to read about our avarice friends.
Ken M SweeneyTheComfortableSpotPodcast@mastodon.socialJul 4, 2026, 5:10 PM@LoganFive does it have a donor card?
MUGISHA PHOCIT2003MugishaPhocit@mastodon.socialJul 4, 2026, 5:30 PM@LoganFive I believe that the American Continent existed like other continents did more than 250 years.
Do you just count the time when it just started to be inhabited by humans?
Jul 4, 2026, 6:59 PM@2003MugishaPhocit @LoganFive the United States of America is a specific thing of a specific time; it is not the land, it is the government built by and for those that took that land
the land itself has been inhabited for millennia; my people did a genocide. and it's still going on
Jul 4, 2026, 5:39 PMIf all that is true, then America must rely upon its younger members to support it, guide it, and most importantly, love it enough to keep trying.

Well, it pretends to be 250 - in reality it's just three 80-year old men in a trenchcoat...

The Turtlethe_turtle@mastodon.sdf.orgJul 4, 2026, 6:23 PM@LoganFive some of us are not too old to remember our real 250th birthday is March 4, 2039.
TraversEtraverse@mastodon.socialJul 4, 2026, 7:43 PM😳 Ouch!
Jul 4, 2026, 9:05 PM@LoganFive 250 years is no way near senior in country timeframes.
Their behaviour can only be put down to immaturity really 😁
Alessandro Corazza 🇨🇦alessandro@cosocial.caJul 4, 2026, 9:51 PM250 years is by far one of the oldest unless you're for some reason counting continuity of name rather than continuity of government.
Eric BonoEricBono@beige.partyJul 4, 2026, 9:39 PMI'm still cheering for the banana peel.

@swisstxlady Sorry. I mean, I'm right there practically. How about I change it to "some" instead of "many"?
