I’m proud of the mother of the author of the meme here.

In fact, a few readers have asked me about my mom, a Trump supporter and Fox News acolyte, and what she’s thinking at this point.

The truth, for better or worse, is that no one except for her will ever know.  She’s 98 years old and slowing down to the point that I don’t think it’s right to grill her on what she thinks of a president whose cruel and inane policies have, if nothing else, put a huge dent into the inheritance headed for my brother and me.

If she felt like talking about this issue in our calls, which we have every other night, she could certainly state that, after a lifetime as a Republican, even after the party ceased to stand for anything remotely decent, she’s withdrawn her support.

I don’t expect to hear that, and it doesn’t bother me one iota.  Each of us lives our own lives, according to our own lights.

These words from senator Elizabeth Warren are worth considering.  What type of idiot believes that Trump does anything in the interest of the common American?

For how long has the United States lost the trust of the other 205 nations on Earth?

I doubt it’s a finite period of time, like “a generation.” It’s probably conditioned on a certain set of behavior, and that could happen relatively quickly.  E.g., what happens when Trump is gone, and it’s clear to the world that the U.S. understands that it made a colossal mistake for which  it’s profoundly sorry?

How long did the world hold a grudge against Germany after World War II?

Glad to see that the “Walmart Blackout” is in full swing, but I haven’t been in one of their stores since I learned that their founders and key executives are Trump supporters.

I’m wondering how many subjects I’ve changed my viewpoints on over the last 30 years. It would be hard to count them all. I doubt that the people who read my books would call me a hypocrite.

I also think about how many international social/economic/military conditions have changed since 1996.

Honesty matters.

For Trump, a suffering population of Americans isn’t an emergency; in fact, it’s of no importance at all.

The author of the meme here raises a point we’ve seen countless times since the 2016 presidential election here in the U.S.

The best answer here is the idea of a “perfect storm” i.e., Trump came along at the precise moment that the American electorate had set itself on fire, dying to express its unique blend of ignorance and hate.

As suggested at left, this whole catastrophe could have been avoided had congressional Republicans upheld the U.S. Constitution, rather than buckle under the pressure they were under from a sociopathic president.

I’m not sure why people insist on calling Donald Trump “stupid.” All indications are that he’s in the process of toppling the world economy and positioning himself to become the most powerful figure on Earth since Julius Caesar.

Of course, this process will inflict immeasurable pain upon the the world’s population, and that is pure evil, but evil and stupidity have nothing to do with one another.

Here’s a short video that puts into perspective the pressure that U.S. military veterans are experiencing at the hands of team Trump and Musk.

Veterans make up only about 5% of private sector workers, but approximately 30% of the federal workforce.  What happens when these folks are fired en masse?  Obviously, many of them are now living out on our streets.

If that seems acceptable to you, congratulations, you have the moral qualifications to make you a Trump supporter.
