If the corruptive influence of Big Oil can somehow, someday, be removed from the economics of energy and transportation, renewables will become the deal of the century, almost overnight.
Accepting the fact that the Trump administration is completely dedicated to the fossil fuel industry as its main source of donations, we need to hope that the majority of humankind votes with its wallet in the direction of the survival of the planet.
This stands to reason, since the rest of the world is not criminally insane, nor hellbent on keeping Trump in office so that he might stay out of prison.
If we still have an organized human civilization here in 50 years, people will still be scratching their heads, wondering how a man who attempted to overthrow the United States federal government a) escaped criminal prosecution and b) was subsequently re-elected to the U.S. presidency.
IMO, the founding fathers did everything they could have conceivably done to prevent the complete breakdown of the nation, but they never considered that the American people could be so stupid.
It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the framers of the Constitution said to another, “If this country falls apart because it elects a criminal lunatic, they will deserve exactly what they got.”
As Bernie Sanders points out here, until Trump was re-elected in 2024, we all thought we had the guiderails in place to prevent grossly illegal military invasions, like the one we see in Iran.
This has put the entire world, and everyone living on it, in grave danger.
When I read words like these, I still think there’s a chance our top military leaders will refuse to obey some outrageously illegal order from the president. Perhaps something like this:
Trump: We’re annexing Canada as the 51st state, by military force if necessary.
Full General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: The f*** we are.
What Richard Gere says here seems to imply that the threat to the United States posed by Donald Trump has somehow been vanquished, but sadly, that’s not the case.
There are lots of reasons to expatriate. For example, some people want to live where their retirement dollars will go further.
Others simply refuse to be a part of the continuing onslaught of war crimes, the protection of child rapists, and the destruction of the environment. It’s easy to understand that folks hate living in a nation of greedy pigs and hateful morons.
If had no medical issues and no children, I’d be writing this from my new home in Iceland, or any of a number of other countries where sanity and rule of law prevail.
The place below is a 40-minute drive from Reykjavik, on the market for $468K. My wife and I would be long gone.
At left we see the words of the former U.S. Speaker of the House, providing the rationale for voting Republicans out of office, i.e. the soaring cost of living.
Personally, I’d go with the fact that Trump and his congressional supporters are psychotic criminals, ruining the United States and a great deal of the rest of the world.
Well, this violates the 10th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution.
But let’s be honest: our nation’s appreciation of our country’s founding document has largely been thrown by the wayside.
In reference to the question posed here, about one-third of American voters would nominate Donald Trump.
Knowing as little as I do about the likely sensibilities of the aliens, Trump’s the very last living Earthling I’d suggest for the task, given that essentially all he’s known for is cruelty, greed, and criminal corruption.
If there are alien species out there, we need to hope for better.
