Where There Is a Demand for Something, Regardless of How Asinine, Someone Will Come Along and Meet It
It’s easy to get angry about stupidity like this, but it’s part of the reality we are all living in the United States right now.

Trump Is Despised, Both Domestically and Internationally, But Does that Concern Him?
Almost every day, Trump does something that is abhorrent to the world’s people, whether it pertains to cruel and self-defeating treatment of immigrants, violations of the rule of law, the destruction of the environment, the annexations of other countries, global economics, and, most often, using his position as U.S. president to enrich himself illegally. For all this and more, he is hated around the globe.
But does that bother him? I’d have to guess no.
He’s proven that he can act illegally and unethically, and that he can do it with impunity, and it seems like that’s the only thing of importance in his sickening life.
He can only be stopped if the U.S. congress would simply hold him accountable for his crimes, but sadly, fruit flies have more backbone.
So what about the American people? We detest him, to be sure, but under our Constitution, we’re only as strong as the people we elect to represent us.
Violent Protests
To the reader who sent the meme here:
Seems like a bizarre comment, given the horrors of January 6th, where thousands of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, resulting in more than 140 officers injured and five dead.

America Draws the Line
At left, Bill Madden checks in from Boise, Idaho.
He makes an excellent point: until recently, Idaho loved Trump.
This is all terrific news. It’s nice to know that, at a certain point, American draws the line against hatred and stupidity.

Fighting Fascism
Like the fellow pictured at left, my father fought in WW2. Dad didn’t live to see the Trump administrations, and I wish I could have gotten his take on what’s happening now, vis-a-vis what he risked his life for, bombing well-protected German oil refineries.
Dad was a conservative Republican, though he wasn’t a stupid or mean person. This makes me suspect that he’d have a viewpoint similar to the guy with the sign here.

The Modern Catholic Church on “Wokeism”
It’s good to see that the Catholic Church leadership is so rooted in humanitarianism, continuing along the path of Pope Francis.

Oldster Never Liked Tyrants
Apparently, the woman here is a “95-year-old mother, Mavis, in Redding, California. She didn’t like Hitler and she doesn’t like Trump!”
Great to see.

Some Protesters Get “The Bird”
I notice that drivers passing by political protests are generally quite supportive of the viewpoints being expressed. Yet, as show here, that’s not uniformly the case.
Here’s Tom Fernandez, a state senator in South Carolina, flipping off his constituents.
I thought state/local politicians tried to curry favor with voters; I guess Fernandez couldn’t help himself. That’s kind of funny, IMO.

Anti-Trump Protestors per Square Mile
An old friend writes: Even Nantucket had over 600 people march yesterday. This was definitely my favorite sign.
I love the sign too.
As the island only covers 105.8 square miles, it produced 5.7 protestors / sq. mi. Could be a record!

While I don’t encourage vandalism, it’s hard not to appreciate clever (and non-permanent) alterations of traffic signs, like the one here.
