How often does this happen? How about never?
Trump loves to say that little boys go to school and come back home little girls.
He’s the most powerful person in the world for exactly one reason: We’re a nation of morons.
Two comments:
That the United States has homeless veterans is a national (and international) disgrace.
By definition, no one has the legal right to enter the U.S. illegally, but according to our constitution, everyone in America is entitled to due process.
Hillsdale College is a rightwing Christian extremist organization that ostensibly honors the United States Constitution.
Here’s their quiz, which should be called the “Constitutional Trivia Quiz,” whose obvious purpose is to convince Americans of their ignorance, so as to send them crawling to Hillsdale.
When I teach, I’m going for understanding of the topic, and to have my students critically evaluate what I’m saying, not the memorization of useless information.
Maybe that makes me a radical woke liberal communist.
This will result in lung disease, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and higher electricity prices.
It will also further alienate the rest of the world from our country, as every other nation on the planet is making gains in the direction of decarbonization, and no other nation suffers from this level of corruption with the fossil fuel industry.
If that pleases you, you’re a warped human being.
It’s interesting that there is no Fox News (or equivalent) in Canada.
The Canadians have protections of free speech that are very similar to ours in the States, and, like the U.S., these rights are not absolute. One difference is that Canada prohibits gross misrepresentation, which, in this case means that presenting opinions and calling it “news” is against the law. Lies are fine; calling them “news” is not.
A possible name for a show with the same content might be “Conservative Viewpoints” or “The Way the Right Wing Sees the World.”
Where Canada protects its people from malicious bullshit, in America we say, “Money talks.”
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich makes an excellent point at left.
The constant onslaught of distractions coming out of Trump’s mouth is calculated to make us give up striving for truth, honesty, and environmental responsibility.
We mustn’t quit.
The death sentence that Trump has imposed on renewable energy in America is good for two groups: a) Big Oil and b) the MAGA crowd that rejects science and wants nothing more than to own the libs, aka the “libtards.”
The unforeseen problem for the common American is that solar and wind are by far the least expensive sources of energy, so that the ratepayers in the U.S. are soon going to be shucking out extra cash each month.
Of course, this doesn’t account for the increases in the effects of climate change that, though they are devastating our planet, won’t be affecting the MAGA too badly for the next few years while Trump profits by turning our Earth into a wasteland.
4.9% per month is 78% per annum.
Here is a deal I’m sure you’ll accept.
I’ll send you $100K tomorrow morning, and you put $178K in escrow, payable to me at the end of 12 months.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
As suggested at left, if you want us to believe that traditional country music artists singers are predominantly Trump supporters, we’ll accept that. If I were selling — whatever — to largely uneducated white people, I myself might succumb to the temptation to pretend that Trump is OK with me.
And yes, there are a few Hollywood actors that love Trump too. But outside of Nashville and a few meanspirited crackpots out here in California, there is essentially zero support for the president in the entertainment industry.
Why?
First of all, America still dominates the world in terms of music and film, and the people outside the U.S. have a general loathing for Trump and his criminality.
On top of that, about two-thirds of U.S. voters, right here at home, despise the president, as they realized long ago that he’s essentially a conman.
Expecting people who love music, movies, dogs, science, children, and compassion for other people to accept Trump is a pipedream.
I looked through a few of the many thousands of responses to the question above on social media and have concluded:
If you ask uneducated people who know essentially nothing about global warming, you’ll find that nothing can stop it, because it’s been going on since the origin of the planet. Others say that God controls the planet’s temperature.
If you ask climate scientists who work in laboratories around the globe who have been studying this subject for decades, you’ll find that there are two key answers: a) decarbonization of our transportation and energy sectors and b) halting the destruction of our rain forests.
As always, we have a choice to make: ignorance or science.
