This is laughable. Why? Well, it’s hard to know where to start.
Before he was an ultra-right wing nutjob, Nunez was a dairy farmer. My gardener knows more about communications technology than he does.
Even better, he appears not to see that everyone who becomes closely associated with Trump either gets fired, is cheated, or goes to prison.
I will say this: He’s getting what he so richly deserves.
This happens to be the wife of an old school chum.
I definitely like her politics.
Bernie Sanders has made a huge difference in the way this country thinks about itself. In particular, without him and a few others, it would be possible to believe that all politicians are insincere.
Here’s a good message all year long, but it’s especially appropriate to the holiday season.
We’re on a collision course with societal collapse, and it will take a mass epiphany to avert it.
May it come in time.
It’s weird that people ignore this?
Well, fortunately, we don’t let the content of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, inform our moral sensibilities in the 21st Century.
Most of the discussion on the subject has been stone-cold serious, but here’s a story of someone who had some fun in this arena: (more…)
Climate activists tell us that we could have avoided setting the planet on fire. They’re right, of course. But making that happen would have required the executive teams at a large group of the world’s largest corporations to have been brave, bold, and honest.
Now, this was 40 years ago, a time before corporate ethics went completely out the window, and we saw things like Wells Fargo’s widespread mistreatment of customers, and Volkswagen’s fraud committed against 11 million customers (and everyone else on the planet who has lungs). Still, it would have required guts.
Here we sit, still struggling like hell to get Big Oil to do the right thing, and wondering if it’s too late, even in the miraculous circumstance that they make a radical shift in direction.
It is true that many Trump supporters don’t vote their pocketbooks, but, when you think about it, that’s often a good thing, as it has the potential to show character. There are rich people who vote for candidates who will raise taxes, simply because they want to live in a compassionate and intelligent country that offers things like universal healthcare, excellent education, a clean environment, social programs that keep kids out of trouble, and an overall sustainable society.
To be fair, the case of the rank and file Trump supporter is not altogether different. These people believe, albeit incorrectly, that universal healthcare is socialism, and that giving it to all citizens is the first step towards Marxism.
Again, they are wrong; they aren’t bright enough to see what’s really going on in the world, and that the United States is the only country in the developed world that has people dying of curable diseases, simply because they can’t afford treatment.
Bannon’s a destructionist, eh?
That sent me to the dictionary, though the definition is essentially what anyone would guess: a person who take pleasure in destroying valuable things.
Without Trump to pardon his crimes, it’s very likely that Bannon’s going down for a lot more than his penchant for devastation.
Well, these may have been sage words when they were written in the late 15th Century.
But that was more the 500 years before tens of millions of conspiracy theorists decided that our media, our medical institutions, and the governments of 200+ countries around the world had teamed up to enslave our population.
“Trauma” is the very least of it.
It’s looking more and more like conspiracy to commit treason.
Bernie Sanders certainly nailed this one.
And how hard would it be to offer people real value? Republicans used to be able to appeal to voters on the basis of law and order, fiscal and social conservatism, small government, minimal regulation, personal accountability, a strong job market, domestic manufacturing, and a powerful military.
Now, all that has been replaced by conspiracy theories concerning the pandemic and the stolen election, tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, Trump in 2024, f*** Joe Biden, unlimited gun rights, white supremacy, banning critical race theory, and maintaining our consumption levels of fossil fuels.
