…..”Concerns about where this presidency is going…”
Let me ask you this: “Where the f*** do you think it’s going?”
We’re talking about a president who, after his failed attempt to overthrow the U.S. federal government, is consistently ignoring court orders and violating domestic and international laws all around the globe.
To paraphrase the words of Aldous Huxley: There is a cost to denying reality, and the longer it’s denied, the higher the cost.
The only thing that me mad about the meme at left (actually, more sad than mad) is that it illustrates the level of stupidity and hate of tens of millions of Americans.
We’re going backwards, and that’s depressing.
We all hope the Epstein files are released, though this criminal administration is fighting against it tooth and nail.
Why?
There is no definitive answer to the question posed at left.
Most people would say that, in the West, the division started in the 16th Century with Galileo and Copernicus. Then we had Newton 100 years later, followed by Mendeleev (the periodic table) and Linnaeus (the classification of life forms). The early 19th Century saw Michael Faraday figure out electricity and magnetism, and the germ theory of disease that came along much later, in the 1880s.
Obviously, there are still crackpots who disbelieve all of this. Sadly, they are commanding great attention from tens of millions of our country’s idiots and our right-wing politicians whom they elect to represent them.
This seemed like fake news, so I looked it up. Come to find out: it’s true.
I’m so glad I don’t know a single person stupid enough to believe it.
Yes, but the billionaires will get richer, and that seems to be the only thing that really matters.
Without doubt, the most effective way to prevent science from revealing the truth about awkward matters that may impede our country’s billionaires from getting richer, e.g., that we’re baking our planet, is to shut down the research centers that employ the people who have been studying this matter since the 1970s.
Re: the remarks at left, yes, it’s a “generational difference,” but the real issue is that we’re comparing apples to motorcycles.
By definition, Soviet-style totalitarian communism made ownership of private property/enterprise illegal and held the entire starving population in slavery to a totalitarian leader. By contrast, democratic socialism, which forms the governance of the happiest countries on Earth, encourages free enterprise while using government to provide free healthcare and education.
Some people sadly can’t (or don’t want to) see the difference.
At left is one of the reasons that I’ve always admired Adam Kinzinger.
What possessed him to become a Republican I can’t imagine; he doesn’t seem to share a single one of their values of greed, selfishness, ignorance, and hate.
