I guess the 25-year-old neo-Nazi who’s part of Elon Musk’s presidency wasn’t expecting to have to resign in disgrace like this. A pity.
Sorry for the sarcasm. What’s truly a pity is the moral cesspool that this country has become.
From today’s Wall Street Journal.
We all know that RFK Jr. has no understanding of science. But let’s be honest: ignorance of, or the outright rejection of science is par for the course at this point in American history–especially at the highest levels of government.
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.
If we’ve learned anything in the short period of time since Trump’s second inauguration, it’s that there is no basis to expect rational thinking from the U.S. president. Lunacy is the order of the day, and if we expect anything else, we’ll soon be just as insane as he is.
Here’s a gentleman who looks at the apparent demise of USAID in religious terms.
I would submit that the act is just as despicable when viewed through a secular lens.
The latest fad in American society seems to be denying the existence of things that clearly do exist.
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.
As suggested at left, Trump’s PR team is not ignoring America’s kids.
Maybe a reader can clue me in as to how what the president is doing is delivering a “stronger, safer and more prosperous America” as he:
• Abolishes the Department of Education
• Fires key people air traffic safety
• Removes dozens of inspectors general and other government watchdogs
• Withdraws our nation from the World Health Organization
• Installs crackpot RFK Jr. into a position where vaccines will be hard to come by
• Pulls the U.S. out of the Paris Accord, blocking efforts to mitigate climate change by the most prosperous nation on Earth
It’s hard to understand how we got to the point where the American people happily accept total crap like this.
If you don’t mind being sickened by what’s going on in Washington D.C. at the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, here’s a clip from a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s show featuring the (former) administrator of the philanthropic agency USAID.
How abruptly was the agency shuttered? “There was a long line of children in Sudan waiting for their TB medicine,” she began. “At the moment the executive order came through, the first three had already received their doses, and the entire rest of the line was told to go home.”
From a reader:
Have you heard Trump is a racist???
It’s clear that Trump’s only important criteria in these choices is loyalty to him and his agenda. If you’re willing to do anything for Trump, regardless of how blatantly illegal, you’re an excellent candidate, no matter your race, gender, or ethnicity.
Look through the list of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in Fulton County, Georgia who were indicted under 41 felony counts related to their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and keep Trump in power following his loss. You will see many women and a variety of ethnic backgrounds who happily committed treason against their country.
I doubt it.
Yes, I doubt that Christ is coming back, but I specifically refute the claim at left that more people are accepting this idea.
The trend in the United States, a predominantly Christian nation, is away from religions of all types.
This seems to be especially true of young people, though it’s unclear why this is. I’d love to believe that they’re more scientific in their thinking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, does it?
For those those who believe that it would be impossible for the U.S. to deprioritize education any further, stay tuned. This administration won’t rest until public education has been completely eradicated.
Over the years, we’ve seen many people speculate as to the motive here. The usual suspect is that it’s easier for the nation’s most wealthiest people to remain in power if the common American is incapable of realizing how thoroughly they’ve been screwed.
In the case of Trump himself, this whole phenomenon is even more obvious. Even minimally educated people have a tough time believing that the U.S. president is actually making America great again. For Trump, the more ignorant the better.
