The meme here made me laugh, mainly because of the absurd notion that any of Trump’s sociopathic characteristics could possibly “haunt” him for a fraction of a second, let alone the rest of his life.
The man is a predator–in the worst sense. He consumes the well-being of Americans’ lives for the sole purpose of his own wealth and power.
Regarding the pathetic story at left, I have two responses:
1) Bulls***. If this woman legitimately believed that Trump’s clearly articulated plan for mass deportation would somehow show mercy to honest, non-violent mothers and their tiny children, she’s an idiot.
2) These are the same fools who don’t understand that the U.S. Constitution guarantees due process prior to such deportations and generally favors waiving this right to undocumented people. What they don’t seem to be able to comprehend is that this means that the government can claim that you, or I, or she, could be swept up, accused of a crime we didn’t commit, and sent away to a prison notorious for its use of torture.
This is not the United States that Americans fought and died to defend.
In a recent post, I tried to answer the question: just who are all these Trump supporters?
The submission from a reader (at left) provides a pretty solid answer.
If your capacity to think allows you to draw ridiculous conclusions about Democrats (killing babies?!), then you have what it takes to stand behind the president.
There are two basic answers to the question:
1) Anyone who understands that the scientists who study a certain subject know more about that subject than pastry chefs or baseball coaches.
2) People with real assets at risk. Yes, this includes insurance companies, but also organizations like the U.S. military who need to protect our country when large parts of the world become uninhabitable and hundreds of millions of desperate “climate refugees” come looking for a safe place to live.
If you think the recent Battle of Aleppo wasn’t at least partially caused by the scarcity of resources due to climate change, you’re mistaken.
Re: Trump’s post at left, is it possible that he simply ignores you because you’re criminally insane?
When I was a little boy, my maternal grandfather told me never to argue with a crazy person, which made a great deal of sense to me, and it’s advice I’ve followed all my life.
Worth 60 seconds of your life? I think so.
Here’s a short video in which a local news meteorologist from Florida apologizes to viewers for his inability to predict weather, including as an example, the point and time at which a certain hurricane is going to make landfall. As the culprit, he points to government cuts in spending on things like weather balloons and other technologies that save lives, as if there is a higher purpose, implying that Floridians’ lives are expendable.
Part of me wonders what he’s doing now. Selling cars? Landscaping? Serving time in El Salvador? He couldn’t possibly be excused for implying that the Trump/Musk team is sentencing uncountable numbers of Florida’s citizens to violent deaths.
Wow, that’s a tough question.
Btw, have you ever heard of the U.S. Constitution?
To the reader who sent me this meme:
There are really only two types of Americans. Those who see this and say:
a) “Yeah! Trump kicks ass for all his rich white supporters. He’s not woke, and nothing else matters.”
or
b) “This is the type of criminality that we see in dictatorships on Earth, and the fact that it’s risen to the top echelon of the United States is a catastrophe for every American citizen, and all other people around the globe.”
Here’s a
