A reader sent me this meme and adds: It’s funny how rich people always send you the invoice.
It’s always struck me that exporting our hate and stupidity to other planets is a terrible idea. Given all our wonderful resources, if we can’t figure out how to take care of ourselves, extinction is the only option.
There are a few aspects of this advertisement that we need to consider with a mixture of laughter and pity:
Obama is considered to be a traitor by the least educated people in the U.S.
He’s despised by Trump for unexplained reasons. Of course, Obama is black. Maybe that has some relevance here.
Rated (on average) the seventh best president in U.S. history by historians and economists (people who can read and write).
Lol. Minne-f***ing-sota???
Sorry, too much literacy there. Too many college graduates and IQ points.
My advice for Lindell: Move to Mississippi or West Virgina and run for governor there.
When 2GreenEnergy was launched in 2009, there was still some talk about flywheels as potentially scalable solutions for energy storage. But in the last 10 years, no one’s heard a peep about this subject from any credible source.
Of course, now we have charlatans coming out of the woodwork, calling on idiots to invest in clean energy “technologies” that are totally nonsensical, like these conmen.
In today’s world where honesty is a joke, you can count on criminal liars to emerge from the shadows to rip off a few (or many) idiots.
It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.
Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.
Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.
We regard the underclass as animals; others regard every person on Earth as a human being.
This asshole’s only strength is his ability to prey on Americans’ ignorance, in this case, failure to understand that the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats flipflopped in the early 20th Century.
Margaret Thatcher made this comment in the 1980s, before the Internet made it possible for most people to figure out that:
I know not everyone agrees with me (e.g., my wife) but I will be surprised if Trump completes his term in office.
Congresspeople want to be re-elected, and for most of them, this is the only thing motivating their actions. How many of them want to be thought of as someone who supported a criminal president who brought this country to its knees?
There are two types of people.
First are those of us who stand for the idea: live and let live. We don’t deliberately step on ants, and we support the rights of the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere to enter the United States to escape starvation and the threat of death by the Mexican drug cartels to pick our crops and live here, for months at a time, in the U.S.
Until Donald Trump rose to the U.S. presidency and gave us all permission to be our worst selves, virtually all of us felt this way. Were migrants a problem before about 10 years ago?
The other type is those like Christian Castro, who takes (took, past tense) great delight in tormenting the world’s poorest and most desperate.
The story here from the New York Times:
Law enforcement officials on Friday arrested an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant this year and lying about it.
The agent, Christian J. Castro, 52, was caught in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tracked him down, according to the Hennepin County attorney’s office, which had charged him this month with four counts of second-degree assault. He faces an additional charge of filing a false police report.
The shooting, on Jan. 14, set off violent protests at the height of the Trump administration’s immigration operation in Minnesota this past winter.
“Today’s arrest is a critical step forward in our prosecution of Mr. Castro,” Mary Moriarty, the attorney in Hennepin County, which includes Minneapolis, said in a statement.
