MAGA Republican Runs in Wyoming
Meet Reid Rasner (photo at left). He’s a MAGA Republican running for congress in Wyoming–that’s a good fit.
He faces three challenges, however:
1) He’s openly gay, a terrible fit for Wyoming,
2) His politics appeals only to the true idiot. While it’s true that voters there are not well-educated, they’re aware and alert. They’ve seen trickle-down economics fail consistently since the days of Roland Reagan, and they’ll be very hard to convince that democratic socialism as it’s implemented around the world makes the nation’s citizens poor, and
3) I hate to judge a book by its cover, but he looks like a dullard.
Asking the congress to “address the climate crisis” is something of a joke. Most of them have their seats by virtue to their allegiance to Big Oil, and, for many, their position on climate change is that it’s a hoax.
We hear all the time that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who served Americans’ health needs under seven presidents, created COVID-19 in a Chinese lab and deliberately inflicted it on U.S. citizens, killing millions. The anti-science far-right is cranking up the animus against the man, and now, tens of millions of Americans are desperate to have him sentenced to prison.
Trump’s (fairly successful) attempts to divide America are just a means to the end of staying in power so as to be able to continue to loot the U.S. treasury.
People have been dancing around the faith/reason duality for more than 2000 years. Aristotle worked out the rules of logic around 350 BCE, and Thomas Aquinas assumed the task of using them to prove the existence of God in the 13th Century CE. Descartes came along a couple of hundred years later, and made some improvements on all this, but we’re still left with very little.
At left is how I feel about Trumpism. I may be limited in how I can go about preventing it from entering the world, but I’ll be damned if it will happen through me.
Wonder who this “patriot” voted for.
What we have at left is a continuation of the discussion: who is more disgusting? Trump or his voters?
No one knows the precise content of this “shouting match,” but it’s reasonable to assume that Pirro didn’t want to go down via prosecutorial misconduct, simply to allow Trump to avoid blame for his outrageous decision to have an incompetent crony redo the Reflecting Pool.
This from Sartre.
