Pain at the Pump
Paying more for gas is painful, but I’m not sure how that compares with waging a pointless and illegal war in which the bodies of men, women, and children are being blown to bits.
He Hates Those Wind Turbines!
Actually, he hates everything that promotes the wellbeing of the common person.
What does he love?
Anything that makes him richer and more powerful, which includes things that will earn him the support of hateful idiots.
The Chinese own 0.036% of U.S. farmland. Oh no! This must stop!

Who Isn’t a Sucker for a Good Illustration?
What an artistic way to point out the debauchery and insanity of the current presidential administration.
Impressive.
Wish I had that talent.
“Triggering” Liberals
Liberals, unless they’re extremely unintelligent, are not “triggered” by Trump supporters who want to burn the U.S. Constitution and make a criminal lunatic the first king of America.
We may be upset that the sociopath is doing his damnedest to destroy 250 years of liberty and freedom, but “triggered” is the wrong word, as it implies an irrational, normally drug-fueled reaction to a certain stimulus.
We are doing everything in our power to prevent the end of the U.S. as it has been known over the centuries, but caving in to insanity is not part of the plan.
And, to be frank, I (age 71) don’t have the strength left in me to fight the way George Washington did in 1776 when he was 44. A big part of what I do is going to be blogging and perhaps standing with a “no kings” sign at an occasional rally.

Comment on Freedom
I would say that there is a large variety of types of freedom, and that freedom itself is relative. No one is absolutely free; for instance, no one is free from eventual death.
Things that make people relatively free includes riches, health, peace of mind, wonderful interpersonal relationships, and living under a government that does not restrict speech or personal movement.
Remembering Trump
Well, obviously, it depends on how all this ends. If, for instance, the Democrats come to dominate congress as a result of the midterms and remove Trump with impeachment or the 25th Amendment, he’ll be best remembered for his treason and other crimes following his loss in the 2020 election and his mental breakdown in the second term.
But of course, there are dozens of other scenarios, including:
a) He finishes his second term and then refuses to leave office.
b) The war in Iran expands, perhaps involving other countries, nuclear weapons, or God knows what else.
c) All this sends the United States into a deep and prolonged depression.
Incompetence? Not Really
Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.
Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices? Destroying the educational system and the environment?
Not for a millisecond.

The Trump Delusion
As shown here, there are (formerly credible) people who are telling us that Trump is restoring Americans’ trust in government.
Do they truly believe this?
When Truth No Longer Matters
One of the casualties of the post-truth era is that the statements of our “leaders” no longer are required to have any basis in fact. What Jim Jordan says here is a fine example.
When he says “better” here, is he referring to runaway inflation? Trump’s purposeless and illegal war with no end in sight? His blatant corruption and criminality? His having, quite successfully, divided the American people into groups that hate each other? The enrichment of billionaires at the expense of the working class? The carefully engineered collapse of the environment so as to favor his donors in fossil fuels? The demise of the U.S. educational system?
Please be clear.

Are You with President Trump?
A dwindling number of hateful idiots still cling to the ideas at left.
But what was once 77 million is now approximately 45 million, and that number is falling every day, as Trump leads us deeper into corruption, economic ruin, and the revulsion of our former international allies.
Maybe we’ll see a meme like this in a month or so, when the president’s approval rating has declined into the teens, but I doubt it.
