More Ridiculous Garbage from Trump’s Lackeys
In the 45 years I’ve lived in/near Los Angeles, there have been few major changes. It’s still the entertainment capital of the world, while continuing to feature obnoxious traffic and housing prices. Like most if not all of the largest U.S. cities, its government is headed by Democrats.
What has changed is that the president of the United States is, for the time in American history, a person of unbridled vengeance against his perceived enemies, and thus he loves to punish these urbanites.
No surprise: the chief executive also surrounds himself with bald-faced liars who are happy to spread utter crap like that which we see above.
The idea that Dale Carnagie expressed in the first part of the 20th Century originated thousands of years earlier with the ancient Greeks; in fact, Aristotle wrote an entire treatise on the subject.
Before Trump, no politically active U.S. citizen thought he was taking a risk to his personal safety by criticizing the president and/or his administration. This country, and, in fact, the entire West, had experienced the Enlightenment (aka the Age of Reason) of the late 18th Century, central to which were the doctrines of the French Revolution and the U.S. Constitution. In place of monarchy, our societies now had rule of law and various guarantees of freedom, e.g., that of speech and of the press.
If you were asked to name the most dangerous person in Trump’s cabinet, your first thought might be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whose only qualification for the job of running the Pentagon is his tenure at Fox News and his alcoholism.
Even when I was a small boy, I had a tough time believing everlasting torture in hell was a fair punishment for anything that a person could possibly do, regardless of how heinous, in a single lifetime.
Was the damage that Elon Musk inflicted on Tesla worth it?
I remind the reader who sent me the meme here that the main use of property tax is the funding of public schools. Speaking for myself, this is a sacrifice I’ve always happily made, both before and after I had school-age children.
I have to admit, Roberts’ statement here does seem stupid in the extreme.
What Frank Herbert says here is true.
Senior energy analyst Glen Doty remarks: This made me smile.
