The word wrong here means incorrect. The most important sense of the word wrong when it comes to Trump is unlawful, illicit, dishonorable, corrupt, unethical, foul, and immoral.
I’m sure Pence knew this from the start of his relationship with the former president. Let’s hope we arrive at a day in which he feels free to say it.
I suppose this is no laughing matter, but there is something humorous about the idea that a fair and objective documentary on anything could possibly come out of Fox News.
This is for morons who put no value on truth, and just want to bolster their love of Trump and their hatred of Biden. Should be a huge hit.
Love the visual. Get an unflattering photograph and alter it to suggest Charles Manson. It’s amazing they resisted the temptation to put a swastika cross on his forehead.
A few years back, I attended a breakfast meeting at the New York Press Club at which Amy Goodman spoke. And, to be sure, she’s no megaphone for the corporate-owned media.
I told her later that I considered her one of my heroes, and thanked her for her service to humankind.
Her show, Democracy Now! first aired February 19, 1996; that quite a run.
If there is a blessing associated with the pandemic, it’s the empowerment of the labor movement.
When we look around, we can see the precise dynamic at work, i.e., those with low paying jobs, employed/managed by people devoid of compassion, are simply saying, “Either pay me more, or do the work yourself.”
A great example can be found in the little burg of Santa Ynez, in rural Santa Barbara County. Several of the businesses here are running short-handed, and some have closed completely. Not so for Dos Carlitos, a fabulous tequila bar and restaurant (pictured below).
Why? These people are payed well, and treated with great respect. The place is closed on all days that its staff would like to be with family and friends. I would venture to say that every bar within 50 miles of here is open on Super Bowl Sunday-except one. 
The owner understands that his employees would much rather be drinking beer, betting on the game, and watching creative commercials than cooking and serving fajitas.
He’s a man of compassion, and the few bucks he loses means less to him than being a decent human being. And his people are so attentive to the guests that they practically fly across the floor to provide the best service possible.
He’s found, as I did when my marketing services business employed more than 100, that treating your people well pays for itself many times over.
When you see artists’ renderings of the same renewable energy concept year after year, and never a photograph of one actually working, this should be a sign unto you, one that reads: This idea has no validity in the real world.
That’s the case with these mini wind turbines whose energy comes from moving traffic. The reason they don’t exist is that they would cost far more to build, install, connect to the grid, and maintain than they would produce.
OK, it’s whom to believe, but this guy makes an excellent point.
It’s like so many things in our world today. We’re surround by real estate salespeople opining on the validity of climate science and landscape architects telling us the vaccinations don’t work.
How and when did things get this way?
And not to take anything away from Nordhaus and Romer, but it seems fairly intuitive that when you tax something, you’re going to get less of it.
The reason we don’t have a carbon tax has nothing to do with economics and everything to do with politics.
Here’s the tale of one of the 700+ insurrectionists; he stood before a judge who could sentence him to anywhere from community service to a decade or more in prison. The basis on which he’s asking for mercy? How well-off he was before all this happened.
I give this guy high marks for both his creativity and his gall.
It’s common for people to lament how divisive American life has become. Yes, that’s sad, but it’s one hell of a lot better than coalescing around sheer barbarism, especially in the form of sedition and domestic terrorism.
When we get to the point of dismissing the Jan. 6 attack as ‘legitimate political discourse,’ as the Republican National Committee (RNC) has put it, this will be the day on which decent people need to pack their bags and go somewhere where savagery isn’t the societal norm.
As suggested below, the burning of books has been a significant part of human history, but I struggle to recall a time in which it worked out for the best.
In all fairness, the mob in Tennessee burned their books, e.g., Harry Potter and Twilight because their pastor deemed them demonic.
The more common reason for incineration, of course, is the attempt to stamp out ideas that might run counter to the aims of a rising fascist.
Kids dead? Regrettable, but overall, not a problem.
Kids ignorant? Perfect.
Anything’s OK, really, except kids capable of critical thinking and compassion for others who may not look like them.
Guess how many of the young people shown here believe that Trump won the 2020 election, and believe children should be separated from their parents at the southern border.
