What do I think of it?  It’s the 2026 Republican narrative, and I’m sure it resonates with the very bottom of the barrel in terms of IQ.

We live among tens of millions of people who can’t distinguish between China and Denmark, many of whom couldn’t find these countries on a map.

The problem they’re going to run into, however, is raw numbers. Trump’s approval rating is about 30%, and it continues to fall as the war in Iran goes on, the working class can’t afford necessities, and his dementia continues to worsen.

Obviously.

You could say this about any Trump supporter, but especially those who are powerful and well educated.

As Andy Borowitz pointed out, to commit treason requires having enough intelligence and knowledge to know better. That’s why the Jan 6th felons went down for aggravated battery, etc., rather than treason.

 

 

The death of Lindsey Graham has brought out a curious mixture of responses.

Some are full of respect and kindness–even among those who disagreed with him at every turn, i.e., humanitarian progressives, believers in U.S. democracy, and the like.  Are the motives of these kind people politically motivated? It’s hard to know.

There’s precious little ambiguity in the response at left of battered Capitol policeman Michael Fanone.

I’m not sure.  Starting a pointless and illegal war that has no end in sight, at enormous expense?  One that has debased and degraded our nation on the global stage? Crashing our economy for the common American?

Doesn’t sound like a winner to me. Could be wrong.

Maybe a better question is what they shouldn’t do.

If I were one of these folks, I would be reluctant to go on record and declare my support for the man who has almost single handedly brought the United States to its knees.

A little over ten years ago,

  • Our country was the envy of the world; now we’re regarded with a mixture of ridicule and contempt.
  • We were making our way forward out of ignorance, racism, and hatred of other people; now it’s thriving.
  • The common American could afford gasoline, housing, and groceries; now we’re suffering.
  • America was doing what it could to protect endangered species and forward environment responsibility; now we’ve sold our souls to the greediest of individuals and corporations.
  • We had very little corruption in the presidency; now it’s rampant, and the DoJ has been weaponized to protect the criminal sociopath in the White House.

Again, I’d be loath to attach my name to this shit.

Well, he’s certainly one of the most visible anti-intellectuals and science deniers in our public space.

If you like ignorant morons, he’s your guy.

No one with any sense truly doubts the words at left.  Caring only about wealthy white men is the GOP brand, like the Nike “swoosh.”

Not only does the Republican party appeal to the uber-rich, but also to a wide variety of racists, and people stupid enough to believe that Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and that the billionaires are job creators.

What Noam Chomsky says here is spot on, especially with respect to Trump.

What makes Trump so good at this is his facility to invent a new boogieman every couple of days:

Communism, Dr. Fauci, Venezuela’s drug boats, Iran, birthright citizenship, democrats, the damage done by previous presidents, the climate hoax, the vandals at the Reflecting Pool, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, liberals in education, the Hollywood elite, unsafe vaccinations, trans people, a nuclearized Iran, massive voter fraud, Haitians eating our pets, Harvard, the ex-Fed Chairman, NATO, wind turbines, the far-left radicals, the election control people, the list goes on.

Then there are the near-daily outrages:

The Kennedy Center, the arch, turning Gaza into a luxury resort, annexing Greenland, accepting a $400 million Qatari luxury jet, dozens of violations of the Emoluments Clause, curtailing environmental emission standards, usurping the Panama Canal, refusing to pay damages court-awarded to E. Jean Carroll after being adjudicated a rapist, pardoning hundreds of violent convicted felons, accepting bribes for pardoning white collar fraudsters, insider trading, orchestrating huge international deals that benefit his children, targeting Jack Smith, Jamie Raskin, and dozens of other political enemies, protecting ICE agents who commit murder/manslaughter, and leasing federal wilderness land for oil and gas exploration to profit his billionaire donors.

The more indefensible the better.  If it doesn’t make him billions of dollars and/or distract from his numerous legal woes, e.g., the Epstein Files, it’s worthless.

Is her point that there are countries that are even more repressive to women’s rights?

Does anyone disagree with that?

The words at left may seem obvious to you and me but realize that we live among tens of millions of people who are completely desperate to cling onto their beliefs that Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people, however contrary to the evidence this may be.
