What Are Trump and Musk Actually Doing?



We’re talking about deliberating making our country more ignorant, more likely to elect a fascist dictator, and less capable of competing on the world stage.
Maybe “evil” is better.

I often ask Trump supporters if they see any gray area, i.e., if the president has done anything that is in any way morally questionable in their view. I’ve never gotten a yes answer, regardless of how outrageous the latest news is.
Of course, some of these people are typical MAGA idiots, but some are highly educated and extremely well-read. That’s how strong the pull is here.

In particular, our presidents weren’t criminal bullies.

Re: the meme here, Trump is a convicted felon, and Netanyahu could be arrested any day by the International Criminal Court on numerous crimes against humanity. But here at home, Americans are worrying about Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, the destruction of American education, and climate change.
Where exactly should we be focusing our attention? It’s over here …. Oh wait.

Sorry for the sarcasm. What’s truly a pity is the moral cesspool that this country has become.
From today’s Wall Street Journal.

In just the first two weeks of his second presidency, Trump has already made great strides in replacing every scientifically competent federal government employ with a MAGA thug whose only qualification is his loyalty. Proficiency has no more relevance now than the color of the ties he wears, or the style of his shoes.


I would submit that the act is just as despicable when viewed through a secular lens.

If you hate/fear people of minority sexual orientations, that’s a shame, but it’s your own business. If you don’t believe they exist, or that they should disappear from the face of the Earth through some mysterious force, that’s just pathetic.
It’s like saying that lemons and oranges don’t exist.
