Not sure if Clint Eastwood actually said this. If he did, I would point out:

Obama is normally ranked #7 out of 47 U.S. presidents by historians. Not so highly by grossly uneducated racist actors.

My response to this piece on social media:

Hell yeah!  We Americans have lost any regard we may have once had for rule of law and the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of due process. Just get all these non-whites out of our great country!

We acknowledge that our president is a criminal and a pathological liar, but we don’t care as long as he is a white nationalist. 

As so many people from Europe and Asia have told me: “We just feel sorry for you.  None of us ever thought for a moment that this level of stupidity ever could have happened in the United States. You used to be the envy of the world.”

A great deal turns on what we mean by “in the end.”

There is no doubt that the “accomplishments” at left are already achieved. But what happens a few years after he’s removed from office?

The most probable answer is what happened in Germany after the end of the Third Reich.  This horrible event in world history culminated in the punishment of criminals, and restitution paid to parties who were injured.  It will never be forgotten even if in the unlikely event that we still have an organized society here hundreds of years from now.

But today, Germany democracy is among the strongest of Earth. Only idiots blame the grandparents of the average German for doing nothing to remove Hitler.

Once democracy and our institutions have been restored, it’s perfectly possible that the interrelationships between American friends and families will heal themselves and our allies will breathe a sigh of relief.

Like the Germans, let us forgive but never forget.

There is no reason that white U.S. citizens should be “afraid” of ICE.

Americans with personal integrity are protesting the lawlessness and senseless violence that ICE is inflicting on people of color in large, Democrat-run cities.

Rule of law actually means something to us.

Here’s a reboot of the folk-rock song “San Francisco” of the late 1960s.  Great stuff.

The fellow who sent me this from England remarks: Alarming how many Germans are starting to compare the situation to early 1930’s Germany before WW2 and the associated genocides began.

When I was asked the question at left, I replied: The last paragraph of “The Grapes of Wrath” makes me cry every time I think of it, let alone read it.

The last line (as closely as I can remember it): Rose of Sharon looked up at the roof of the barn and smiled mysteriously.”

The meme here reminds us that it was once possible to be both a Republican and a decent human being.

Think Dwight D. Eisenhower.

All that’s ancient history now.

To the reader who sent me this: Is it a joke? The national debt rose $2.23 trillion in 2025.

Senator Dick Durbin emphasized that despite Donald Trump, his cabinet, and MAGA supporters refusing to admit it, “the American people know” Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.

But they will “never admit it.”

They will “never” admit it?

Never is a long time, as they say.

Trump (and Mike Lindell of pillow fame) claim that they have irrefutable truth that the 2020 election was rigged, but they just can’t release it to the public.

Does anyone think that the American voters, idiots that they are, will accept this into perpetuity?

Will there be a MAGA base here 50 years hence that laments, “Mr. Trump has undeniable proof that he won that 2020 election, and his heirs are about to release this in the next two weeks?”

Sorry.

We’ll see.
Right now, he’s on a path to move the United States from a constitutional republic to become just another totalitarian state.
Maybe we’re so stupid that we won’t know the difference, or that some of our most hateful morons will actually like it.
I don’t want ICE agents charging into my town and entering our houses without warrants, but obviously not everybody feels the same way.  With an approval rating of 37%, more than one-third of American voters love this guy.
There’s a reason no American visits North Korea, Kazakhstan, or any of the other 50+dictatorships on this planet: their countries are disgusting, and all we can do is to feel sorry for the people trapped inside.
