Using “Peanuts” Characters to Forward Ignorance of Important Issues
Charles Schultz must be turning over in his grave.
If I were one of his descendants, I would have brought litigation to put a stop to this crap about 10 seconds after it began.
Trump to Appear to be a Liar and Crackpot
Apparently, many congressional Republicans are concerned about Trump’s talk tonight, as it will center around the “stolen” election of 2020; they say it focuses too much on the past, and not enough on today’s “kitchen table issues,” e.g., the economy, healthcare, the war, etc.
This is a gross and laughable mischaracterization of Republicans’ true concerns, which is the continued erosion of Trump’s credibility and the clear deterioration of his mental health. Six years later there is still not a shred of evidence of significant voter fraud, and the subject has been rejected by 60+ courts and dozens of state election officials.
Trump will come off as a liar and crackpot, which is exactly what he is, though this isn’t a good look for the GOP going into the midterms.
How Do We Regard the Obama Presidency?
Obama is ranked at or near the bottom by the MAGA base, but somehow he’s ranked an average of #7 by historians (who can read and write).
Strange, isn’t it?
Are Democrats Attempting to Ban Christianity?
Of course, it’s possible that Democrats respect the religious beliefs of others, and that the Trump base is a collection of idiots who will believe anything.
Making Peace in Iran
The folks who posted this to social media write, “President Donald Trump’s recent comments on U.S.-Iran relations have prompted renewed discussion about American foreign policy.”
For “American foreign policy” I would substitute “Trump’s mental health.” After all, we are at war with these people, aren’t we?
Of course, most of us will remember Orwell’s “1984” and its line “War Is Peace.”
Horrible People
Every time I see something like what we have at left, I have a renewed sense of wonder: how can certain human beings be such terrible people?
FWIW, I more-or-less understand the MAGA base of racist idiots. I’m not happy that I live among them, but they don’t leave me scratching my head as to how they could have become who they are.
Randy Fine is no moron. His BA and MBA are from Harvard. There is no way he actually believes that U.S. elections are rigged, or that Trump is an honest and effective servant of the American people. He’s simply a professional liar, and a traitor to his country.
I’m at a loss.
Re: Mocking Virtue, Was Plato “Woke?”
We all know we should treat others as we would like to be treated, regardless of the color of our skin, the size of our bank account, or our sexual orientation. Following the Golden Rule, in essence, is what we do by leading a life of virtue.
Here, Plato seems to be saying that civilization that mocks virtue as “woke” is headed for its demise.
Do Democrats Hate America? Is That a Message the GOP Wants to Run With?
As we all can see, the narrative being offered by congressional Republicans has nothing to do with affordability, healthcare, the war in Iran, or any of the dozens of other issues that concern the wellbeing of the common person. Instead, it’s the singular belief that Democrats hate America, and will do everything in their power to destroy it, by ushering in communism as our new form of government.
But doesn’t that seem a bit far-fetched? Granted, we’re not as sharp as we were when our educational system was still strong, but what type of idiot finds this credible? Let’s take Bernie Sanders, elected to congress in 1990, as an example of an extremely visible progressive, a man who thinks that countries that provide free healthcare and education provide a better quality of life to their citizens than those that don’t.
Now, in his 36 years in congress, has he turned Vermont (see below) into a hellhole? Does anyone with the IQ of a caterpillar think that he hates America?

Wrong State
Minnesota is home to intelligent, well-educated people whose approval of Trump is lower than that of toenail fungus.
If Lindell wants to lead a state, he needs to choose one at least 800 miles away. Oklahoma?
He may also want to consider that Trump is easily the most detested person in this nation.
The Existence of God
I wouldn’t say that the burden of proof lies on religion. No one knows how the universe got here.
The Big Bang was an event in which there was no chaos, no “entropy,” as we say in thermodynamics. How did all this orderliness get there 13.87 billion years ago? No one knows. This is an issue in cosmology which is quite likely to outlast human civilization on this planet.
I’m an atheist for a few reasons, one of which is that saying that God created the universe doesn’t get us any closer to an understanding of the cosmos, if only because it raises the question: Who made God?
More to the point, there are hundreds of moral reasons to disbelieve in God. Each year, 9 million children will die unbaptized on this planet before their fifth birthdays. In the bible, we learn that God punishes them all with an eternity of torture in hell. To what sort of weirdo does this make sense?
