I’m not sure that Fox News caused the decline of our nation, but it certainly makes some level of sense.

When I was young, there was no source of “news” that was based solely on the profit to be made by making Americans stupid and mean.  In fact, news in most of the 20th Century really didn’t have any real commercial value, because it wasn’t used to sell drugs and useless crap to elderly, addle-minded white people 24 hours a day.

Thirty years later, we have people who are as addicted to this hate news as alcoholics need another shot of booze.

Some people may be, but, to a person, the foreigners I’ve met are deeply saddened, and terrified of the consequences of the Trump regime.

Their feeling is simply that America re-elected a convicted felon, rapist, and traitor who attempted to overthrow the U.S. federal government.  If we’re willing to do that, we’re capable of anything, regardless of how depraved.

I’ve never understood why those who compose total bullshit like this don’t go for the gusto.  Why 95% and not 99% or 100%?

Trump’s actual approval rating among Republicans is somewhere between 75% and 80%, as can be easily verified by anyone on Earth with a cell phone or computer. That number continues to dwindle, as he faces more pressure regarding the war, gas prices, child rape, etc.

Obviously, the president’s supporters are suckers for his lies, but isn’t this a bit over the top?

I get a call every week or so from someone working for a start-up in oil exploration, hoping that I’ll invest.  I guess my name and cell number got collected somehow from various online searches I’ve made.

I’m always quick to explain, “Oh, sorry, I don’t support wrecking the planet, even if I can profit from it.  Neither should you. Bye now.”

I wish this were true, but most of these people don’t have passports, and many of them can’t afford a bus ticket to a neighboring county in West Virginia, Alabama, etc.

To the reader who sent me this: I’m with you, except that I occasionally turn on Fox News so as to understand what these people are feeding to their audience of hateful morons.

I’d go with “Death of a Nation.”

The idiot’s t-shirt shown here raises the question: How do you define the word “support?”

In a certain sense, I support all countries, insofar as the people living in each deserve to live freely.

As an American, I support the United States.  I revere it for its strengths, while I advocate for remedying its considerable set of weaknesses: corruption, injustice, racism, indifference to human suffering, militarism, and greed.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
The firestorm started Sunday when Bo French, the GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of University of Texas football fans, “most of them people of color,” writing that “the problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined,” according to Politico.
The post appeared to target South Asian students and sent Texas Republicans into a panic over the damage it could do “down the ballot,” including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s struggling Senate bid and Abbott’s own reelection.
Before the Republican party aligned itself with rank stupidity, tacit racism was not really a huge problem.  Now, however, we have the equivalent of mixing alcohol with opiates, a deadly combination, which has made the midterms very tough for the GOP–even in Texas.

Apparently, this guy believes that the majority of Americans think poorly of Trump supporters, and wonders if this is the message we want to send.

News flash: This is precisely the message we want to send.

I wonder what his doctorate is in.  Filth? Debauchery? White collar felonies?  War crimes?
