All this is fine, but we need specifics that juries can use to send this traitor to prison for life.
One of the problems with living in today’s insane society is that it’s hard to know the difference between comedy and real journalism.
It was only when I saw Borowitz’ name here that I realized that this wasn’t a serious statement by religious zealot Johnson, who truly is completely unqualified for the position.
U.S. founding father Thomas Paine’s thought here is a noble one indeed.
Sorry to say, however, but the odds against a period of peace in our children’s days seem to be very long indeed. I say that because:
• War is the paradigm by which countries settle their differences, and there doesn’t seem to be any progress in changing that.
• The persecution of the Jews has been a feature of life on Earth for thousands of years, and, since the formation of Israel 75 years ago, this situation has generally gotten more violent and senseless.
• Terrorism on the part of rogue groups (and established countries) has become commonplace. (more…)
The author of the meme here isn’t the only one with this dream, or at least a variation on its theme.
However, as I’ve written before, I caution that exorcizing this career criminal from the consciousness of the U.S. will happen only to the degree that Americans are able to watch the justice system at work as it tries the former president on 91 (possibly more to come) felony counts and sends this sociopathic traitor to prison.
David Radzieta notes:
The American Energy Society reports: Almost all ocean plastic pollution (80%) enters via 1,000 rivers worldwide. For example, see this time lapsed video of Rio Dulce in Guatemala, which feeds into the Caribbean.
This corroborates the idea that fishing this form of pollution out of the ocean is probably less efficient than cutting it off upstream, preferably by reducing the amount of single-use plastic bottles, flatware, etc. that enters our rivers in the first place.
What’s the most obvious motive for the guilty pleas in the Fulton County, Georgia case against 19 defendants accused of conspiring to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election? It’s that these criminals wish to avoid time in federal prison, and each has been offered that option in exchange for their testifying against others.
How happy are they to participate in convicting Donald Trump? That is anyone’s guess.
Re: the meme here, a reader notes:
Anyone, regardless of his position on the consumption of animal meat–beef, pork, and the rest, has to admit that all this stuff tastes really good.
The issue, of course, is that a meatless diet is healthier for the individual and the planet, not to mention the cow/pig.
Great piece of graphic art here, but what about the content?
Sure, it’s hard to imagine Trump’s successfully retaking the White House.
But will our Justice Department have the integrity to incarcerate a man with a militant following of 50 million Americans?
What if Trump winds up living in a country run by corrupt forces that are friendly to the former president? Russia? Saudi Arabia?
