Why Is Trump Still Hogging the Limelight?
A reader sent me the question above and speculates: Once you give that sick type of person attention they can’t live with less. They freak out without it!
That’s a solid answer, but there is another. At this point, Trump understands that maintaining popularity is the only thing that will prevent his going to prison. If he can return to the White House he may even try to pardon himself. At least he’ll have executive privilege and other kinds of power to protect himself and foil attempts to prosecute him. Even if he never wins public office again, the Justice Department might think twice about taking actions that will send tens of millions of hateful idiots into hysterics.
Another way to answer the question is to look at the media. If they would simply stop covering him, he’d become irrelevant more or less immediately.
Why does anyone care what Trump will say in a speech on Veterans Day? We already know that he’s a draft-dodger who has nothing but contempt for U.S. military personnel, that he bypassed the Marine Corps’ justice system and pardoned war criminals, and that he thinks our generals are incompetent. Do we really need to hand him a microphone and let him carry on about how much better a president he was than Biden?
Just shut him up.
We’d all like to think so. Merrick Garland has come under a great deal of pressure for his silence over these past few weeks, and most of America would love to believe that all this time was somehow required to indict Steve Bannon. 
This isn’t impossible by any means, but it sure doesn’t seem likely. Think of all the trends that need to be reversed before something like that could come to pass.
Here’s a conversation I have with my mom sometimes. As a Republican, she doesn’t think management should be forced to pay higher minimum wages.
Here’s a short BBC video that presents what the island of Eigg, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides, has done to establish a 
You couldn’t invent a stronger criminal case for election tampering than what Trump probably did in Georgia.
Obviously, I don’t wish this kind of harm on anyone, and it would be best if these idiots would simply accept the science.
If taking up more space were the only negative influence that humankind was having on the planet, we’d probably be OK. There are ~25 billion square miles of land on Earth; that’s 3 square miles (1920 acres) for every man, woman, and child. Moreover, we could prohibit development in regions that are rich in wildlife.
To the author of this meme, I say wow. I’m amazed at how many Americans believe school is essentially about enforcing conformation in our thoughts and in our actions.
I find Carl Sagan to be one of the most admirable characters in human history, and I certainly understand what he’s saying here.
