Don’t worry conservatives outnumber commie libtards 20 to 1 and we support ice.

You seem to be comparing ordinary crime with routine extra-judicial killings by the U.S. government, and you appear to reject the idea of prosecuting coldblooded murderers if they’re employed by the Trump administration.

Btw, it’s not just “liberals” who want rule of law returned to the United States; it’s everyone but the most morally depraved.

Sorry.  Not impressed with your thinking here.

Abraham Joshua Heschel was a Jewish theologian and philosopher with a social consciousness that led him to participate in the civil rights movement.

I love what he says here, though intelligence still impresses me, for what that’s worth.

What Orwell said at left may be true, but if you’re Trump, this is exactly what you want from you press secretary — instant access to a few dozen lies that can be used at any time, according to the reporter in front of you.

I wonder if the jackass who sent me the meme here is “for real,” because I can’t imagine that anyone is so ignorant that he doesn’t know that:

1) Displacing fossil fuels is a huge boon to the environment, especially getting rid of coal in the grid mix, and

2) As the beef industry continues to expand, it destroys our rain forests.

As we frequently discuss here, Trump benefits from a population of profoundly ignorant Americans.

Ruining things is our core strength at this point.

I’d no more “put that gun on my hip” and attack people, almost none of whom have criminal records, than I’d chop off my right arm, you son of a bitch.

Controversial though it may be, exposing school kids to science has my approval.

In 1971, one of our teachers took us down to the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia as part of a course we took called “Man and His Environment.” We measured the levels of dissolved oxygen and various toxic chemicals, and wrote papers about our findings.

Now, this whole endeavor would have been written off by morons as “indoctrination” or “woke.”

At the time, most of my 74 classmates went on to fantastic colleges, and about a dozen of them became physicians who, even today, are saving the lives of the same jackasses who think that teaching science is for transgender socialists.

I’d rather these idiots whose breathing had almost stopped or whose heart rate was disappearing who were later released from their hospitals to live the rest of their lives in some semblance of health would simply say “thank you.”

Yes, I know; that’s too much to ask in today’s America.

It really doesn’t matter if you or I agree.

What matters is what the Founding Fathers said, which appears below.

Obviously, there are evangelical Trump supporters who couldn’t care less about the values that formed this nation.  But I’ll take the word of the people who established this great nation over them any day of the week.

No.

Higher CO2 concentrations don’t increase crop yields, just like higher O2 concentrations don’t grow stronger or healthier animals. We take the chemicals out of the atmosphere that we need for our metabolism.

At left is a great example of something affecting all our lives here in the United States.

In this case, it’s that the U.S. military functioned fairly well for 250 years before an alcoholic Fox News commentator took over our national defense.  Moving forwards from 1775, when the Marine Corps was formed, our nation expanded to become the most powerful country on the planet.  Does anyone with a brain larger than the size of a pea believe that Pete Hegseth was needed to save us from immanent destruction?

In voting, something similar has occurred.  Until 2020, when Trump falsely claimed that the election from rigged and attempted to overthrow the federal government, we had done perfectly well.  Our states, charged as they are in the U.S. Constitution with the security of our elections, took us successfully through 230 years of presidential elections.

What’s changed?

Some say it’s national stupidity, and just maybe they’re right.  It’s not Trump and his lying sycophants; it’s tens of millions of hateful morons.
