Re: the message at left, I doubt it. As upsetting as it may be to decent people everywhere, it’s not reasonable to think that Trump could simply disappear from view.
Having said that, it will be interesting to see what happens upon his death. It’s possible that the Republican party will revert to something that resembles what it was like under Ronald Reagan or G.W. Bush,. i.e. conservative but not criminally insane.
The reader who sent this comments: Trump tries to explain that his tariffs needn’t be a financial burden. Just buy less stuff. You don’t need all that extravagance.
More to the point, doesn’t the strength of the economy depend on people buying stuff? Don’t recessions happen when people feel they can’t afford things?
Re: the discussion at left, it’s more than a stupid question; it’s outrageously condescending.
Are you trying to tell me that the coal miner and his family isn’t interested in the content presented on PBS? Nature, current events, history, art, science?
That’s disgraceful.
Journalism is the only profession that’s explicitly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. It seems that the Founding Fathers believed that protecting the free press was a pretty good idea.
When the richest man on Earth says, “legacy media must die,” he’s referring to institutions like the New York Times, that have informing us since the 1850s.
Does that make sense in a democratic republic?
In a recent message to America, Donald Trump boasted how dramatically gas prices have fallen, pointing out that the national average price has now fallen under the $2.00 per gallon mark.
As anyone could have guessed, this is a lie; the average is now $3.165.
But what makes this noteworthy is that it took me less than a minute to find the website linked above to determine the truth. And there is nothing special about my computer/Internet skills; this is something anyone age 6 to 96 could have done with equal speed. So why does Trump lie about things that the average first grader can disprove as fast as they can read the title of “Run Spot Run?”
All I can suggest is that his base accepts what he says, knowing full well that almost everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Truth has long since lost all value and relevance.
Re: the meme here, I’d say both are correct, if you delete the word “devious.”
There’s nothing devious about this at all; the Chinese have been trying to take over the world for the last 6000 years, and Trump’s arrogance and naivety has given them a huge shot in the arm.
Trump Critics Erupt. Not this one.
What’s the point of reacting to this buffoonery?
Our president is a sick clown. We all know that.
The words in yellow at left come from Neil Stone, doctor of infectious diseases, in rebuttal of those of RFK, Jr.
Coincidentally, I have a fine friend from boyhood who’s also an infectious diseases doctor, and even more coincidentally, he tells his former classmates essentially the same thing: these vaccines have been rigorously tested for both safety and efficacy.
The most lethal disease threatening our society is our appetite to elect bald-faced liars and crackpots who reject science, and bid us all to follow along.
Sorry, but I didn’t know that breakfast was supposed to be constructed of products that come from large mammals. Did this come from the bible?
When you go downstairs to breakfast from your hotel room in Tokyo, you’re greeted with dozens of different types of fish. Is this wrong in some way? What about the New Yorkers with their sour cream, capers, and lox? Are the most sophisticated people on Earth going to an eternity of torture in hell for dietary habits that don’t conform to those of the people in Oklahoma?
Seems unlikely. Of course, I live in a country in which Trump enjoys an approval rating north of 40%. So anything’s possible.
I’d also be curious to know what one’s supposed to do with the stick of butter. Inject it directly into his coronary arteries?
As previously discussed, there are tens of millions of American voters whose loyalty to Trump is independent of anything the man says or does, regardless of how clearly insane and overtly damaging to our nation and its people.
This simply couldn’t have happened as recently as 15 years ago.
