#Loyalty

Trump—a comically germaphobic billionaire with Liberace’s taste in decor who plays tracks from the Phantom of the Opera at rallies—has earned the loyalty of millions of white working-class voters being one of the least personally relatable candidates ever https://t.co/7F5tQyVa2c #Trump #Germaphobe #WorkingClass #Therearenocountrycodesmentionedinthetweetprovided.

10/10 Allies will learn to perform loyalty rather than align strategically. Adversaries will learn to wait. The paradox of Trump's Latin American interventionism: even when it "works," it teaches the region that US power is no longer something to rely on #USForeignPolicy #LatinAmerica #TrumpInterventionism #US #LA

Nathan Ake 🩵🥹 Un soldat incroyable. Pendant six ans, tu t’es battu pour ce maillot. Tu as remporté tous les titres possibles, toujours avec exemplarité. Jamais un problème, que du sérieux et de l’amour pour le club. Tu as été extraordinaire. Lors du triplé, tu as mis dans ta poche les meilleurs ailiers du monde. Tu vas me manquer. @NathanAke #MerciNathan #Loyalty #Football

Viktor Orbán's defeat in Hungary has revealed the fragility of his hybrid regime, where loyalty among elites waned as belief in the regime's invincibility crumbled, demonstrating that such regimes are vulnerable not only to public dissent but also to internal disillusionment with the power structures that sustain them. #Węgry #ViktorOrban #reżimhybrydowy

Hey @ouraring Can you explain how a customer is supposed to feel when they pay for a ring, the ring never arrives, and your solution is neither a replacement nor a refund? I've been a loyal customer, but this experience has been awful.

Normalerweise spreche ich nicht über private Dinge. In den letzten Wochen war ich so ziemlich von der Bildfläche verschwunden. Viele haben sich nach mir erkundigt, aber ich habe nur selten die Kraft gefunden, zu antworten. Leider ist mein geliebter Vater am 11. Mai verstorben. In seinen letzten Stunden durfte ich noch bei ihm sein und seine Hand halten. Vorgestern haben wir ihn zu Grabe getragen. Vor diesem Verlust habe ich immer Angst gehabt. Und jetzt kann ich nicht fassen, dass mein Vater einfach nicht mehr da ist. Ich werde niemals mehr “Papa” sagen können und nie mehr sein freudiges “Sandimaus“ hören, wenn er mich gesehen hat. Mein Vater war ein Ausnahmemensch. Er stand wie kein anderer für alte Tugenden: Ehre, Würde, Anstand, Rückgrat und Treue. Er war ein Gentleman, der allen Menschen mit Respekt begegnet ist. Auch war er der selbstloseste Mensch, den ich kenne. Er hat für andere alles gegeben, und sich selbst stets zurückgenommen. Meine Mutter hat er auf Händen getragen. Auch für meine Großeltern war er immer da. Sie haben ihn geliebt wie ihren eigenen Sohn. Ich hätte mir keinen besseren Vater wünschen können. Er war liebevoll und fürsorglich. Ich habe ihm alles zu verdanken. Es tröstet, dass er jetzt von allen Schmerzen befreit und wieder mit meiner Mutter, seiner großen Liebe, vereint ist. Ich bin unendlich dankbar dafür, dass ich ihn hatte.   ***   I usually don’t speak about my personal life. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been missing in action. Many of you have reached out, but I’ve rarely had the bandwidth to reply. Sadly, my beloved father passed away on May 11. I held his hand when he passed. A couple of days ago, we laid him to rest. I had always been afraid of this day. And now I can’t fathom that my dad just isn’t around anymore. Never again will I be able to say “Papa” and never again will I hear his joyful “Sandimaus” when he’d see me. My father was a truly extraordinary mensch. Like none other, he embodied traditional virtues: honor, dignity, decency, integrity, and loyalty. He was a gentleman who treated everyone with respect. Also, he was the most selfless and giving person I have ever known. He cherished my mother, the love of his life. I could not have wished for a better father. He was loving and caring. I owe everything I am to him. At least now he is relieved of his pain and reunited with my mother. I am truly grateful that I had him. #Trauer #Erinnerung #Familie

Tim Goldring Jun 4

Not sure if wrld.org has an arts or literature section? I’m looking for beta readers for a new book “Letters from England”. Here is an overview: OVERVIEW In August 2015, Timothy Goldring, a British businessman, began a sentence of seven years in Changi Maximum Security Prison, Singapore. He had no telephone. He could not always reply to letters. He had a concrete floor, a tikka sleeping mat, and seven cellmates in a cell twelve feet by twenty. The following month, a letter arrived through the food hatch. It was typed. It was from Lancashire. It began: Dear Tim, Trust your accommodation is up to the normal standards. Francis - IT businessman, Fitbit enthusiast, walker of the Yorkshire Dales, dreamer of a bungalow in Burnley with an inside lavatory — wrote to his oldest friend every month for four and a half years. Fifty-one letters. He did not miss a month. He wrote about what was happening in the world, about Donald Trump and Brexit, about his shoulder operation and his grandchildren and the taxi he drove home drunk on New Year’s Eve. He wrote the way he talked — with a Lancashire man’s instinct for irony, an old friend’s instinct for loyalty, and the stubborn conviction that the world continued and his friend was entitled to know about it. He did not write about the cell. He did not write about the sentence. He treated Timothy as he had always treated him: as a man who was interested in the world and entitled to opinions about it. Between every line, unspoken but unmistakable, was a single message: “I have not forgotten you. Here is the world, held open. I’m keeping your place in it warm.” Letters from England is two books woven into one. It is Francis’s book — a month-by-month chronicle of Britain, seen through the lens of one man’s grim, affectionate, furiously funny dispatch from the outside world. And it is Timothy’s book — the replies he could not send at the time: what it is to receive, month after month, the voice of a friend speaking from a world you can no longer reach. What it is to discover, in the most reduced of circumstances, that a smaller world is not necessarily a lesser one. That a monk’s cell and a prison cell are, in certain lights, the same room. That friendship, at its most austere — stripped of presence, of reciprocal conversation, of every ordinary reassurance — is perhaps the most extraordinary thing there is. This is not a story of crime or punishment. It is a story of loyalty. Of what one man does when another disappears from the world. He writes. Month after month. Into the silence. Because the alternative — to say nothing, to let the distance win — was, for Francis, sat in his cottage in Lancashire, simply not acceptable. If anyone is interested let me know and we’ll figure out how to get a pdf to you. Many thanks.

Bill Cassidy: I don't really think President Trump likes me that much, but we work really well together. When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you want it to. But you don't pout. You don't whine. You don't claim that an election was stolen from you. American leaders, he said, should not be focused on loyalty to one individual, but rather to the wellbeing of the general public. And if someone doesn't understand that and attempts to control others through using the levers of power, they're about serving themselves. They're not about serving us. And that person is not qualified to be a leader.
