No reason to convict him of a crime first, right?
America used to stand for justice, but that was long ago.
Btw, the vast majority of the people who commented on this meme on social media said things like, “Of course!”
The nation is still wondering about the thought process behind the selection of certain of Trump’s cabinet members.
The common wisdom, of course, is that the normal issue of qualifications as seen on the person’s resume’ is far less important than his unwavering loyalty to the president.
But does that explain RFK, Jr. or Pete Hegseth? I’m fairly certain that you could find loyal Trumpers who aren’t complete crackpots to head Health and Human Services. If you check the coverage on health and disease on Fox News or Newsmax, you’ll find plenty of people with “MD” after their names who aren’t batshit crazy like Kennedy.
Perhaps part of Trump’s thinking is that he wants to communicate to the American people that he is already a dictator, and as such, that he can do anything he wants, regardless of how destructive and apparently insane.
Why not indict the anarchists, the Trotskyites, and the existentialists?
Aren’t Americans eventually going to conclude they’ve seen enough of this stupidity?
Of course. Patel and Cruz are both such reasonable and honest people.
Btw, I want to know where the mayor of Dallas was on November 22, 1963.
The United States needs to come to terms with the fact that there is an entire class of people, young and old, whose personalities are deeply rooted in the ultra-right-wing: Trump, white-supremacy, the rejection of science, Fox News, the dismantling of the federal government, and so forth.
The young Oklahoman at left is certainly nowhere near changing his political philosophy, and that’s just fine.
I’ve often wondered how those who purchase Trump paraphernalia (sneakers, coins, etc.) feel about their purchases.
Of course, the guy at left is only one patron, but he doesn’t seem too happy.
This is funny, but is she really any worse than any of the dozens of other paid liars befouling our media airwaves today?
On a post of this subject, a reader notes: There is nothing clean about wind turbines.
Wow. Didn’t know that.
To keep this simple, I would simply say:
A) wind energy is about 9% of the total grid-mix in the U.S., and
B) in the main, it displaces coal, with its CO2 and methane, heavy metals (cadmium, selenium, arsenic and mercury), and a huge array of highly toxic radioactive isotopes. All this makes coal by far the most devastating source of energy in terms of environmental and human health.
Of course, if you have additional information on the subject that I have missed, please let me know.
You might call Trump a laughingstock, but only if you’re in a position in which he’s unable to harm you. And that doesn’t cover too many people.
There’s nothing funny about Trump if you’re:
• Poor or working class, and vulnerable to rising costs of consumer products and healthcare
• A person of color, an LGBTQ, or a Muslim
• A woman of childbearing years
• An asylum seeker hoping for compassionate treatment that complies with domestic and international law
• A military personnel (of any rank) being humiliated by a commander-in-chief who has utter disrespect for you
• Trying to get a good education in a country with rapidly declining standards
• A patriot who values the Constitution and rule of law
• An American-based business that will sooner or later be eaten alive by tariffs
• A parent who’s finding it difficult to teach his kids about honor, truth, and personal integrity in a country with a president utterly devoid of these
• An erstwhile ally of the United States in Europe
We Americans, and those around the world, deeply wish that Trump were a laughing matter. But that’s very rarely the case.
If he can be deposed and incarcerated, that will be another matter.
For the last, say, 10 years, it’s been said that we live in a “post-truth” world.
Here’s a great example: Mike Johnson’s claim of a few days ago that the government can’t re-open until after the “Hate America” protest is over, with its “Antifa, BLM, and pro-Hamas” people. “Wait till you see all the Marxists on the Mall on Saturday.”
Now, considering that the whole world knew before the rally (and received confirmation of it later) that seven million completely peaceful people were assembling in 2700 cities all over the world, doesn’t this guy look like a liar and total fool?
Not at all. Today, Johnson is talking on camera, again with a straight face, just is if he had been even 1% correct about what happened last Saturday.
In a post-truth society, no one who fabricates ridiculous stories is discredited.
You must be thinking of the 20th Century, when honor and truth still meant something.
