It’s a mystery to most of us how it’s possible that the comments of our country’s top military minds, who worked for Trump and knew him intimately, can be ignored.
Trump supporters think of themselves as patriots, but they seem not to care that our generals and admirals believe that our president is some combination of a spoiled child and a criminal sociopath.
After being ordered to commit war crimes, retiring is an option, and I don’t think anyone could say that what this commander did was absolutely wrong. Of course, another option would have been to call bullshit, and to stand up for rule of law and the United States Constitution.
FWIW, I don’t expect the entirety of our top-ranking generals and admirals to simply disappear from active duty and retire in Tahiti when Trump decides to attack Venezuela, or Canada, or Greenland, or to reorganize the EU.
As we see from the polls, there are Trump supporters falling off the bandwagon every day. How and why does this happen? It’s hard to know.
Some may have undergone an epiphany and realized to their horror that our president is a criminal sociopath and simply can’t believe how gullible they were to have bought into his crap in the first place.
The meme at left suggests that there is another group that has been brought to their knees by Trump, who apparently is a man with unlimited power who knows essentially zero about finance and economics, and simply took our farmers, like our factory workers and the rest of the working class, to the cleaners.
One of the most important “commandments” in Strunk and White’s “Elements of Style,” first published in 1920, is: “omit needless words.”
Is anyone perfect at this? Probably not. Then again, we come across true prize-winners constantly, as exemplified at left.
Where does the brutality and lawless of ICE rank among the criminal insanities of the Trump administration? That’s a hard question to answer in a time that features the execution of people off the Venezuelan coast who may be smuggling drugs, and the prosecution of the president’s political enemies.
It’s true that Trump has destroyed the nation’s reputation. The question is how and if this can be reversed when the United States elects a sane human being to the White House.
Some say that the damage is irreparable. I doubt that.
The sign at left is an excellent example of what life in the United States would be like if we didn’t have a constitution, and hateful morons made our laws.
American actress Amanda Seyfried says she will not apologize for her past comment calling Charlie Kirk “hateful.”
When you and I were young, if someone said that Canada was south of the United States, or that vast numbers of penguins inhabited our Great Plains, they wouldn’t have been taken too seriously. Now, truth has ceased to matter and BS-artists like this are quite common.
As anyone who can read is aware, China is eating our lunch with respect to wind and solar.
It’s funny. My gardener, Gonzalo, says the precise same thing.
I’m glad he’s happy, but that doesn’t make investment in gold a good idea.
