Here, Trump urges voters to “cheat like hell” to help the Republicans win the 2026 primaries.

I have never understood how anyone, regardless of how unintelligent and mean-spirited, could vote for Trump.  Now, this whole concept is even harder to grasp.

There are many countries around the globe whose people have a deep and honest concern for the wellbeing of their planet and its civilization.  As shown at left, Costa Rico is most certainly among them.

Perhaps you live in such a nation.  I sure wish I could say that I did.

The United States has too many greedy billionaires and too many hateful idiots.

It was just 25 years ago that the whole world embraced the United States and shared our grief after 9/11.

We’ve taken all that kinship and discarded it as if it were a soiled paper towel.

Hillary Clinton was among the best-qualified presidential candidates this nation has ever had.

It’s a tragedy that the U.S. chose a cheesy conman over her to lead this formerly great country.

To the idiot who sent me this:

They told us education is bad because it creates people capable of thinking.

Every step we take downward into the depths of ignorance brings a new level of pain and desperation as we watch the United States fall deeper in the abyss.

Worth noting: the rest of the world haven’t become morons.  What happened here?

At left is an interesting twist on the case for social democracies.  In short: Investing in people pays off.

As they say, Education is expensive, but the cost of ignorance is far higher.

Have we hit the tipping point on climate change?  For example, has the melting permafrost in the Arctic released so much methane that a runaway feedback loop has been established?

As suggested at left, an analogous question could be asked about the level of corruption in the U.S. government.

A judge has ruled that New York State’s climate “superfund,” modeled after laws that provide money to clean up toxic waste, runs counter to federal law and is therefore invalid.

Eventually, we will have laws that force companies whose actions are ruining the planet to pay for the remediation that must happen to avert environmental collapse. In the meanwhile, we need to expect the fossil fuel industry to continue its ruthless legal attack on such legislation.

The idea expressed at left, i.e., that Trump’s arch–or any single action Trump has taken towards self-aggrandizement is causing his approval rate to plummet–is fallacious.

Sure, a great many of his similar efforts, e.g., putting his name on the Kennedy Center, or issuing coins with his image on them, rankled our souls as Americans.

But let’s face facts, Trump’s approval rating is hovering at just above 30%, meaning that about one-third of U.S. voters don’t care that he’s a petty, spoiled child, a convicted felon, and one of the most despicable people in the history of humankind.

Here’s proof (as if any were needed) that Trump understands that he’s despised and knows that his claims that he’s “respected around the world” are total bullshit.
