Senility in the White House
The world’s 200+ sovereign nations have that precise number of leaders, and it’s impossible to say how many of them are totally lucid–or completely senile–or anywhere in between. Is it possible that important decisions around the globe are being made by underlings, acting behind the scenes? Of course.
If Donald Trump is losing his mental faculties, that’s not good, but far worse is his lack of honesty and integrity, and his compulsion to act purely and only in his own personal interest, regardless of the dictates of law.
We need to accept that, in general, the people of the Deep South actually don’t care if their government isn’t helping them achieve healthier and more productive/affluent lives. As long as white people dominate their part of the world, socially and politically, they are quite happy to remain at the bottom of the rankings in terms of longevity, education, etc.
Admiral McRaven’s words at left focus on Trump’s effect on America and our country’s effect on the rest of the world.
In Santa Barbara County, where 2GreenEnergy “headquarters” makes its home, PBS and NPR are hardly under threat. We at “2GE” make regular monthly contributions to the local affiliates of both, and those organizations have money coming out their ears from like-minded listeners and viewers. The criminal insanity of the Trump administration could no more shut us off from quality information and entertainment than it could put out a wildfire with a squirt gun.
Let’s imagine that the assertion at left is true–even the most extreme version. There are astrophysicists who believe that the universe in which we live that began 13.7 billion years ago is just one of an endless number of universes that come into being, expand, contract, and implode, only to give rise to the next.
I’m a Pennsylvanian, and I believe the answer is corn.
The “Other 98%” reports: Trump is literally sabotaging America’s booming Clean Energy industry for his billionaire oil-tycoon donors.
Dissenters against autocrats in Hungary, Serbia, and Turkey see the same “democratic backsliding” in the U.S. “Americans think this is something that also only happens to others,” said an opponent of Hungary’s Viktor Orban. “That mindset has to be fought.”
As I mentioned in the earlier post, it appears that, miraculously, the Epstein scandal may be the undoing of Donald Trump’s second presidency.
If we progressives had been asked a month ago if there were something–anything–that might come along and bust up the love affair between MAGA and Trump, we would have said no.
