Exactly right, and the number of objects of Trump supporters’ hatred continues to grow; new categories of detestable people emerge continually.

Now, on top of Muslims, Jews, blacks, Asians, LGBTQs, immigrants, poor people, libtards, people of science, we have woke.

Moreover, “woke” doesn’t apply merely to individuals; it applies to groups, some of which are enormous, like the 203,000 employees at Disney and the 1.1 million active duty U.S. military personnel.  God only knows what they think of  the Reserves.

There is a sponsored post of Facebook that asks people to weigh in: Have you abandoned President Trump?  I’m sure there are damn few yeses.  You either despised the man from the moment you first heard him speak, or you’ll be with him forever.

What the author of the meme says here is completely true, which is why there is no indication whatsoever that Elon Musk wants to help America.

It’s clear that his primary motivation of restoring a megaphone to Trump and the other congenital liars who use social media as their platform for disinformation campaigns and hate speech, while blocking progressive voices.

Robert Reich’s article “Elon Musk’s vision for the internet is dangerous nonsense”: (more…)

I wrote a post the other day to the effect that, in the face of all this stupidity and hate, there are areas in which our civilization is making great progress.  This gives us all room for hope.

What Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says here is true poetry.  What if there really is an opportunity for an honest and helpful American government to come along and make the world a better place to live?

I consider myself fortunate that I have no access to Donald Trump’s private thoughts.  There are enough disgusting elements of our world today without adding more.

Having said that, I have to think that Trump, with his visceral hatred of his enemies, and his ongoing delusions that the American people consider him to be an honest and effective servant, had a complete psychotic break when he learned that Liz Cheney was awarded The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for “defending democracy at home and abroad.”

There is no question that Cheney, a Republican, is showing great bravery in going against the majority of her (spineless) party and seeking justice for the former president so as to prevent our democracy from being torn apart by a criminal conman.

Most Americans are very proud.

Marine Le Pen has made it clear that her politics are similar to those of Putin and Trump.  Exactly what that means she didn’t say, but what could she possibly mean?  Politically, what do these two men have in common?

Both are “strong men” in terms of will and refusal to back down under any condition, and they are ruthlessness–especially to perceived enemies, complete lack of compassion and interest in doing what’s right.  Putin is a tyrant, and Trump is a would-be Putin.

OK, anyone can see how that would work out in a place like Russia, where democracy has never existed.  But France?  A land of culture, intelligence, and refined sophistication that stands at the heart of NATO and the EU?

A nasty thug coming for the Élysée Palace?

En garde!

I distinctly recall the U.S. politics of the 1980s and 90s, and how close the two main parties were ideologically.  In particular, they were both engaged in corruption, feeding off large donors in exchange for favors, and virtually united in their neoliberalism, i.e., favoring the reduction of government influence in the economy through privatization and austerity.

I wasn’t one of them, but there were people who didn’t vote because the two parties were almost completely indistinguishable from one another.

As shown in the meme here, that’s no longer the case.  Corruption hasn’t gotten any better, but….

One can argue that the Democrats should be doing more to protect the environment and to improve the well-being of the common American.

But the Republicans have simply lost their minds.

People say the GOP is going to win big in the midterms, but exactly how is that to work out?

Yes, I understand that voters are frustrated by inflation and that most of them are too ignorant to know that this is global, not just a national phenomenon.  But how many parents seriously believe their kids’ teachers are promoting homo/transsexuality,  socialism, hatred of white people, and resentment of the police?

If someone can watch this short video and explain to me in a compelling manner why Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t belong in prison, I will be extremely impressed.

From this:

Saying organizations that accredit colleges and universities have an “inordinate amount of power,” Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday that will force schools to periodically change accreditors.

The measure (SB 7044) also significantly changes the process of reviewing professors’ tenure, a provision that has drawn ire from the state’s largest faculty union. (more…)

It’s hard to know exactly how honest the editing of this teaser video is, but it appears that Donald Trump walked out of an interview when Piers Morgan confronted him re: his lies about the 2020 election.
Couldn’t we have seen this happening?
To which a reader responds: He blew up. It happened before on a 60-Minutes interview.

I wouldn’t say the Republican party “stands for nothing.”

It stands for overt racism, the wanton destruction of the natural environment, the demolition of public education, and the rejection of science.

Most of all, it stands for Donald Trump  and his claim that the 2020 election was stolen.  It will ignore all the facts to the contrary, and it will happily discard rule of law, if that’s what’s required to help Trump beat the mounting criminal evidence against him, and get him back into the White House.
