Notably: Switzerland has four national languages, none considered more preeminent that another: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. In schools children are taught their county’s predominant language, plus one of the other languages, and English. There’s a movement among nationalists to start eliminating the multi-lingual education requirement, the latest move away from federalism in a country that manages a reactionary streak once in a while (a 19th century pamphlet with Colorado calling itself “the Switzerland of America” may have been accurate geographically, but Switzerland has never been as welcoming to migrants as Colorado; In the 1970s, Lebanon was tiresomely referred to as the Switzerland of the Middle East, if mostly because of Lebanon’s banks’ similarities to Switzerland’s: secrecy privileges allowing bandits and warlords to stash their dollars unseen). Countering the move against multi-lingualism, Le Temps, the French daily, editorialized on the subject on Sunday to make the point that multilingualism is one of the country’s pillars. This paragraph in particular would be both descriptive of an idealized America and instructive of what we ought to emulate: “Because we are not talking here about pedagogy, but about national cohesion. The big words right away? Not so much. Switzerland is a nation founded on a common political will, not on linguistic or cultural homogeneity. Our multilingualism is one of the pillars of the country. Being able to speak the other’s language, even laboriously, is essential. Understanding yourself, even indirectly, is a necessity. The connection between language and identity is profound. No longer learning the language of others affects the very identity of Switzerland. This is why the Confederation cannot watch the gradual abandonment of French in compulsory schooling without lifting a finger.” Alter a couple of details, and it’s as applicable to the United States under ICE as it is to Switzerland.

This, after all, was Switzerland, where everything works; Switzerland, where trains run like clocks, and clocks run like watches, and watches are synchronous with the pulse of the universe; Switzerland, where electric eyes watch underground parking spaces and turn on green lights when they are free; Switzerland, where electric eyes watch urinals and flush not only the one under address but the one next to it as well; Switzerland, where switches in mattresses cause rooms to go dark as people get into bed.”
–From John McPhee’s La Place de la Concorde Suisse (1984).
Dennis C Rathsam says
Its sad you anti Americans, are the biggest assholes continuing to make fun of TRUMP. 77 million Americans put him in the peoples house. To the Jackasses schagrin, TRUMP continues to lead. He has deported millions of Democratic voters, ( a la Joe Biden). Who’s plan backfired in his face.TRUMP and his cabinet, has made a pile of rubble in Iran. Even the goats have left, looking to greener pastures. We will see Friday if its peace, you cant trust the lying Mullahrs,we crossed that road before…. If Iran dares to procrastinate again, there will be the biggest attack on what’s left of rubble, called Iran! Obviously, you cant make a deal, with the desert rats. TRUMP is prepared to do what ever it takes, He,s given them a deal of a lifetime, its up to them to join the world at peace, or face extinction! As usual I stand with my president, like so many patriotic Americans…..The best is yet to come, as gas prices continue to decline.
The dude says
Dennis’s “deal of a lifetime” is less restrictions than what President Obama negotiated previously, but many many more pallets of cash…
NO REGERTS!!!
Liam says
Keep chugging the kool-aid, man. It’s delusional people like you that made my grocery bill go up $300 a month and my gas bill increase by $200 a month. Gas will never come down buddy, nor will the cost of beef, or produce, or eggs. It’s not “anti-American” to criticize someone that is running this country into the ground. You people drove around with Biden hog-tied on the backs of your trucks, giggled about Paul Pelosi being attacked, guffawed when Gretchen Whitmer was threatened with violence, and yet you have the gall to say people are anti-American for criticizing a PDFile who cavorted with the notorious E P Stein. You couldn’t be more wrong, dude. It’s my birthright to criticize a pile of excrement stinking up the joint.
Mothersworry says
When you get a chance ask your fearless leader how those wounded in this debacle are doing. Just more of the cost of his mindless bullshit! Oh, there were close to 400 hundred wounded. Also you should know that when he was in for his 3rd yearly physical at Walter Reed. He didn’t have the the balls to waddle down the hall and visit with 13 of the wounded that were being treated there. He truly is an effn’ coward!
Skibum says
Today’s cartoon pretty much sums it up, except for the fact that it is not only the idiot in the WH who is suffering from his own incompetence. Our entire nation is suffering at his hands. The affordability crisis is REAL and is being completely ignored! This country’s bread basket farmers, who traditionally have been reliable republican supporters, are being treated like dirt (pun intended). So many American businesses that rely on products imported into this country have been harmed by this maniac’s policies and ineptitude, not to mention all of the truckers and other critical parts of our nation’s transportation systems who have seen profit margins gutted due to extremely high gas and diesel prices that the orange faced “wizard” is directly and solely responsible for after he ignored the advice of experienced military and intelligence professionals and started his misadventure in Iran without understanding that they would close off the Straight of Hormuz to the world’s oil tankers.
Yes, this has been a disaster of his own making, but he most likely stands in front of his bathroom mirror licking his self-inflicted wounds and manufacturing other people’s names and imbecilic reasons for the failures that he never, ever admits to or takes responsibility for.
The dude says
I don’t really care if Dennis and Jimbo enjoy self flagellation. I’m more of a live and let live kinda guy like that.
It’s a problem when they insist the rest of us have to participate in their little fetish
Skibum says
You just have to chuckle at the nonsense and move on, because some of the most fervent maga mush brains are far too lost in their own delusions. They are the perfect examples of the idiot in the WH’s admission that he loves the uneducated. Birds of a feather stick together.
Sherry says
It’s amazing how a really “great” political cartoon can take months and months of lying BS and boil it down into one incredible image!
This one says it all about trump’s Iran war FAILURE/lOSS/DEBACLE! Aren’t you sick of all this “Winning”, Maga?
Ray W. says
The New Voice of Ukraine reports that in early June, after so much damage had been visited on numerous Russian refineries by Ukrainian drones, cruise missiles and rockets, gasoline output in Russia was down by some 30% compared to 12 months earlier. At first, the Russian government attempted to close the gasoline demand gap with gasoline sourced from Belarus and Kazakhstan, but there wasn’t enough available excess supply. So, Russia has had to resort to buying gasoline from Asian refineries owners. The needed fuel is being transported to Russian ports by sea-born tankers.
Make of this what you will.
