Regardless of what Jeffrey Epstein said about Trump, most of his supporters believe he’s a saint.
Some, however, would put it like this, “Trump is a bad person with good ideas.”
Whatever.
This country will be a better place to live in dozens of different ways when Trump is gone.
The meme here is from the “Daily Patriot Report,” and undoubtedly this idea will appeal to some folks.
A competitive viewpoint, however, is that these three cities rank (NYC) #1, (LA) #2, and (CHICAGO) #3 in the United States in terms of gross domestic product. The New York City metropolitan area ranks #2 in the world, just behind Tokyo, and ahead of London.
Making major changes to these areas, especially if they’re made by those who have no idea what they’re talking about, could make the entire U.S. look like one big West Virginia (see pic below).
What makes life here in the United States so interesting is the vast amount of horsecrap we’re fed on a daily basis.
Here, we’re being asked to believe both that impoverished illegal aliens are eating up government services and that they’re qualifying for mortgages and buying our homes out from under our children.
It’s interesting to watch the slow but steady fall of the president’s approval rating, as folks “jump ship.”
Certainly, a good portion of the MAGA base will remain loyal, regardless of what comes forward about Trump’s history of sexually abusing young girls, or his committing an array of other crimes, but the woman here illustrates what a great number of Americans are thinking.
I found this (at left) interesting. But how does one “develop creative skills, create value, and learn how to solve problems?” If the author has answers here, please provide them.
In truth, none exist.
Yet there are ways to prepare oneself for a great career: learning to write clearly, applying logic and intelligence, and figuring out how to function as an adult.
Education can help you with that.
The “Chris” referred to here is Chris Pappas, a person I know nothing about, other than that he’s a Democrat trying to prevent his state from voting in a Republican senator.
Isn’t New Hampshire a mystery to us all? It’s home to Dartmouth College and dozens of other top learning institutions, and it’s adjacent to Massachusetts, where it’s hard to find a Trump supporter. Yes, the state extends far enough north that some of these voters are from some far-flung districts, but is the entire state going in the direction of Alabama and Mississippi?
Those of you who have seen Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall” will remember the scene in which young (9 years old?) Alvy Singer is so depressed about the ultimate fate of the Earth/universe (see clip below) that he cannot function and refuses to do his homework (“What’s the point?”). Even a kindly psychologist hired by his mother fails to console him.
The movie is one of filmdom’s great comedies, and the audience fully understands that only severely neurotic people worry about what the universe will be like in five billion years.
Having said that, sane people do have reason to be concerned, and deeply so, about what is happening now and will grow worse quickly over the coming decades, which, unlike being vaporized by the sun, is something we can control.
(California Governor Gavin) Newsom: While the Trump Administration makes this country unrecognizable, California remains a stable, reliable partner in the fight for a clean energy future.(California Governor Gavin) Newsom: While the Trump Administration makes this country unrecognizable, California remains a stable, reliable partner in the fight for a clean energy future.
Of the dozens of people I’ve spoken to about climate change, it’s interesting that there are so many different viewpoints as to the gravest dangers it represents to human civilization.
The fellow at left seems to think it’s food shortages, and he may be right.
Others talk about climate refugees, i.e., huge numbers of people forced to evacuate their ancestral homes because of things like extreme heat, flooding, loss of land mass, etc.
Every time Puerto Rico gets torn apart by a hurricane, part of me is surprised that they keep rebuilding. At a certain point, somebody’s going to say, “Look, we give up.”
