What Valerie Bertinelli says here makes sense at a certain level, but will it ultimately work? The MAGA folks are convinced that everyone else is lying in an effort to destroy the United States, and that Donald Trump and top sycophants are the only ones telling the truth.
It must be very difficult to find cabinet secretaries who are true scum–people with exactly zero personal integrity.
When and if Noem is impeached, Trump will be tasked with finding yet another piece of human filth.
Whether or not Trump will succeed in establishing himself as king remains to be seen. One thing’s for certain: the United States will experience an enormous amount of suffering and death along the way.
What a tragedy that our country’s integrity has evaporated like this.
Well, as we all know, what Sharon Stone said at left, sadly, is incorrect; millions of Trump voters are highly educated people who were tragically born without a conscience.
This from 20th Century American jurist Learned Hand:
That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where nonconformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
It’s positively scary how closely this mirrors American society today.
I must confess that, to a large degree, I have lost faith in the eventual supremacy of reason.
This sounds like fake news.
I heard one ICE guy say fairly recently, “I get paid to do this? I’d happily do it for free!”
We live among people who receive immense gratification from making the lives of the most miserable people living in our nation even more agonizing.
Are ICE agents detested by the vast majority of Americans? Of course. Does that bother them? I highly doubt it.
I’m rooting for Trump to be removed from office because he’s a criminal sociopath who’s clearly ruining this nation. In addition, I want to see him held accountable for his crimes.
I’m most certainly not rooting against my country.
Anyone with an IQ of a turnip can understand this.
Perhaps the take-away here is: Don’t expect anything coming out of the Trump administration to make sense.
There’s no way to know for certain, but I believe most Republican politicians understand and accept the theory of AGW, Anthropogenic Global Warming, but so many of their constituents are ignorant, and so they figure that they must play along.
I would bet that applies to Trump as well, but again, there’s no way to know for sure.
One thing’s certain: he has a viciously corrupt relationship with Big Oil, and couldn’t care less about this planet’s future as long as his actions here and now make him richer and more powerful.
