Any idea who she was talking about?
Graca Machel, told the heads of state and U.N. officials. She implored them to take on “ego-driven” decision-makers, political dogma, greed and the arms industry.
Madeba’s in the House!
Lol!
Sadly Trump’s current national security advisor is one of the crew who considered her late, great husband a terrorist (presumably because Mandela once supported an anti-apartheid sabotage campaign in the 60s? Who knows – NeoCons are weird, Bolton especially so…). One can only imagine what Trump himself would think of Mandela were the latter still alive. I can barely imagine how his narcissism could deal with a black man who wasn’t fabulously wealthy being 10,000 times more respected than he is…
Trump, arriving at the U.N. Monday for a meeting on drugs
No doubt.
Waiting for Trump’s Tweet about how much he respected Nelson Mandela, and especially liked the song Peter, Paul, and Mary did about him. (C’mon, you know – The Great Mandela?)
“Frederick Douglass Nelson Mandela is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”
I caught that one; too . . . ;)!
“Puff the magic dragon” he began to sing, quietly, “slayed by the sea.”
“and triumphed in the autumn votes in a land owned all by me…”
Yup. Definitely the good drugs. (We know he doesn’t drink beer like any self-respecting bully.)
