This years 'Song of Summer' just a podcast about impeachment...
TORONTO —- In what musicologists and pop chart analysts are calling an unprecedented trend, patterns in digital downloads, youtube views and online engagement all indicate that this year’s song of the summer will be a forty-five to seventy-five minute unstructured podcast focusing on the potential impeachment of Donald Trump.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

The US is clearly the most advanced nation on earth. According to Trump, we had airports in the late 1770’s.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

Originally posted by BBCDonald Trump's 'airport' revolution sees people rewrite history
A speech by the president of the United States will always get attention, especially on 4 July.
But Donald Trump's 2019 address to mark America's Independence Day has been flying around on social media more than usual.
During the address in Washington DC, Mr Trump suggested the Continental Army "took over the airports" during the revolutionary war against Britain in the late 18th Century.
It's not clear exactly what Mr Trump was referring to. The first successful plane to take flight was the Wright Flyer, in the US, in 1903 - more than 100 years later.
In response, people have been adding their own, imagined references to air travel within established history.
The hashtag #revolutionarywarairportstories has been used nearly 4,000 times on Twitter so far, and the term Revolutionary War used more than 16,000 times.
Twitter user @King_Of_Shade invented the Battle of Baggage Claim in 1776.
...
User SlumdogSkillionaire commented: "By the end of the war there was not a single airport on the continent that was under British control. The troops were nothing if not thorough."
While another user added that: "Not a single RAF aircraft was in the skies above America during the Battle of Yorktown. What a strategic accomplishment!"The US president said the army took over airports in the 18th Century in his Independence Day speech.

Behold! The Unrivaled craftsmanship of the Smurfette Melania!
Originally posted by BBCNew Melania Trump statue in Slovenia gets mixed reviews
A tongue-in-cheek statue of US First Lady Melania Trump has appeared on the outskirts of her Slovenian hometown.
US artist Brad Downey hired a local chainsaw artisan, Ales Zupevc, to carve the likeness out of a tree trunk outside the town of Sevnica.
The result was a wooden rendering of Mrs Trump dressed in a blue coat with a club-like hand gesturing to the sky.
Some residents described it as "a disgrace", a "Smurfette", saying "it doesn't look anything like Melania".
Downey told Reuters news agency he wanted to "have a dialogue" with the US political situation.
The artist has an exhibition in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana until late August. The gallery reportedly suggested the statue "might only be a slapstick prank" in a leaflet.
Downey's previous works include Wisdom Testicles and Cactus Hand.
Sevnica has become a tourist magnet ever since Donald Trump was elected US president in 2016, and Ms Trump - a famous former resident - became the first lady.
