It does appear that the White House has crossed a red line, and that there is really no return path.
In Round #1, Trump pardoned hundreds of felons convicted of a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol–simply because they support the president politically.
In Round #2, he pardoned dozens of white collar criminals who had made huge financial contributions.
From “The Other 98%”:
As shown at left, not everyone involved in these protests is carrying a sign that reads, “Trump Is a Fink” or “Down with Trump.”
There is no doubt that reducing one’s consumption of meat lessens the destruction of fragile parts of our environment, e.g., the Amazon rain forest.
I eat what I call “incidental meat,” meaning small amounts that are part of a meal someone has served me. For example, I don’t pick off the pieces of pepperoni that someone has ordered on a pizza.
As shown at left, Trump has no shame when it comes to fabricating stories that paint him as a superior leader to his predecessor. Apparently, his supporters have come to expect this and simply don’t care that essentially everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
Everything the author wrote at left is true, but there’s one thing he missed: about half of American voters either a) don’t care, or b) think that it’s only the “radical left scum” that’s characterizing Trump this way.
This seems to be one of the great, eternal truths of humankind.
Yet it seems that certain societies on planet Earth are doing a better job here than others.
The United States, for example, seems torn. Are those of us who care about others’ well-being really “radical leftist scum,” as our president said on Memorial Day?
Wouldn’t our entire nation be a better place to live if everyone had access to healthcare and a quality education? Wouldn’t it be nice if our country could lead the way towards environmental sustainability?
I ran across a solicitation for investors to join a certain company that is promising a return of 1.19% daily, or (1.0119)^365 per year, = 7503% = 75.03 times your investment. $20K becomes more than $1.5 million a year later.
Hmmm. I don’t know much about criminal law, in this case fraud, but aren’t the purveyors of this investment going to wind up in prison?
I’d like to believe there is a good chance that the scenario to the left could become reality, but I really don’t see it.
The rank-and-file Trump supporter is quite dug into the idea that the president is here to make American great again, and if for any reason Trump is unsuccessful, the only possible reason is the treason of the “radical left scum.”
The folks who created the meme at left think we don’t know too much about science.
The video below is a great diversion for people who want an enchanting and humous look at the subject of thermodynamics.
