In a recent post I noted that the United States has shriveled to a point that our core strength is destroying perfectly good and well-functioning facets of our society, e.g., our schools, our disease control, and our cities like Minneapolis.
Something else we’re breaking quite effectively is our relationships with our allies. We are no longer trusted by other NATO countries.
When I tell people that I write content on environmental sustainability, I commonly hear, “Oh. Times must be tough.”
I immediately explain that, outside the United States, every nation on the planet is working hard to make sure we still have an organized civilization here in the year 2100.
America is not the only country on earth that has corruption associated with it at some level, but fortunately, it’s the only country whose leader has sold it out completely to the fossil fuel industry.
I’m not a fan, but I have to agree that he’s among the world’s greatest innovators of all time.
It’s a crying shame he’s such a complete asshole. If that weren’t the case, he’d be among the world’s greatest people of all time.
Here’s a news item that is completely typical of today’s Republican party: Chinese ownership of American farmland.
There are 880 million acres of farmland in the U.S. Of that, 3.6% is owned by foreign countries or business interests (mostly Canadian). Of that, less that 1% is owned by the Chinese.
A lost dog or the closing of a pizzeria in Arkansas is of more legitimate concern.
What disgusts Americans most is that Rubio completely understands that Trump is profoundly demented, both mentally and morally.
He’s hoping that the United States remains as ignorant and hateful as it is now for a few more years, so that he can become president.
Absolutely revolting.
Authoritarianism.
It concerned our Founding Fathers deeply, and they did everything they could to prevent it. But they never foresaw that America would be hit with the perfect storm of ignorance, corruption, and of course, Donald Trump.
I’m ready to live in a country with zero hateful morons, but that’s never going to happen.
I could move to any of dozens of nations that are less ignorant, but I’m too old and too connected to friends and family.
At left are the words of pastor John Pavlovitz.
He’s completely correct. Trump supporters all have a profound moral defect — and especially at this point, as this country descends even further into authoritarianism.
I don’t think too many Americans would say that Biden was a great president. In fact, the only thing that made him stand out was that he was not a criminal sociopath whose appeal was exclusively to greedy billionaire pigs and hateful morons.
It’s funny to hear the pundits say, “Democrats need to stand for something beyond ‘We’re not Trump.'”
I’ve never believed that. Just rid us of this psychopath. “Please!” is the exclamation of two-thirds of Americans and essentially all of the people in the rest of the world’s developed countries.
At left are the words of astrophysicist PhD and Queen lead guitarist Brian May.
The problem here on Earth isn’t that there are no intelligent, decent, and kind people. It’s that their numbers pale in comparison to the number of hateful morons and greedy pigs.
