This video from President Trump about the cost of electricity says a great deal in just a few words.

I must have been the only sucker who didn’t experience this windfall.

It’s possible that this horrific incident could be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Obviously, there are Republican congresspeople from states like Alabama whose constituents think that the Obamas actually are apes, and thus no one with any sense should expect even the slightest change of platform from them.

Want to keep you seat?  You need to sound just as ignorant as your voters.

But our leaders from purple states like Florida and Colorado must be pulling their hair out.

As a reader commented here: Nothing is more patriotic than required patriotism.

Well said, my friend.

Are we a better nation because we indoctrinate our children into the belief that the United States (under God) is the very best place on Earth? Wouldn’t it be better to let our kids learn about our past, our present, and where we’re headed into the future, and form their own beliefs?

Why are we so terrified of critical thinking?

To the reader who sent this to me:

Obviously, this is crap, because it means that virtually no one in the United States has the vaguest understanding of our constitution, which clearly prevents the federal government from taking control of our electoral processes away from the states.

It’s possible that a tiny fraction of Americans want Trump to rewrite the U.S. Constitution so that it serves his own ends.

I wish I could understand why people who think of themselves as honest human beings routinely spread malicious bullshit.

The author of the meme here seems to believe that breakfast is supposed to be “about” something.

As if cereal or fruit or orange juice or waffles or pancakes or oatmeal or hashbrowns or jam and bread or whatever one wants to eat for breakfast is inferior to whatever someone else wants?

OK, so you’re the meat industry trying to get us to want to eat murdered cows and pigs, but seriously.

Stupid much?

Every few days Americans receive a new blast of bullshit from our president.  A few weeks ago, we were told that Trump was determined to stop the flow of fentanyl into our country from Venezuela, coming in small boats that would have to be refueled 10 – 15 times before they reached the United States.

More recently, we learned that it was time to “move on” from the Epstein files.

Now, Trump is a devout Christian.  If you have a strong stomach, check out the video linked above.

You have to be a complete moron.

American farmers are probably still a strong demographic for Trump, but even some of these folks are regretting their votes, as a) Trump’s economic policies are destroying their enterprises, and b) farmers tend to be “salt of the Earth” folks who disapprove of those who rape little girls.

My father was one of approximately 16.2 million soldiers who fought to prevent the spread of fascism in World War II.

The United States has a distinguished history of Antifa that continues to this very day.

The point that the fellow at left here is making is almost certainly the reason that the Trump administration is doing everything in its power to a) defund public education, and b) spread propaganda to the effect that education is essentially indoctrination into a “woke” ideology.

Another dagger in the back of education is the move to add things to the high school curriculum like how to balance a checkbook, grow tomatoes, change your car’s oil, etc. This of course means removing academic subjects to make time for teaching kids how to farm one’s own food, change a tire, and so forth.

The subject that normally gets the ax is algebra 2, including things like logarithms and exponents.  That means no chemistry (because, for example, the pH scale is logarithmic), which in turn means that within a generation, there will be no more American-born scientists or medical doctors.

The good news for Republicans, of course, is that a nation with no capacity for critical thinking will be going to the polls, electing people with the same level of integrity of Donald Trump.

One of the key features of American society is its affinity for destroying good things.

Undocumented immigrants who came here in the 20th Century living peacefully and paying their taxes?  Get them out.

An educational system cranking out graduates who go to college and become medical doctors?  Defund it.

Cities like Minneapolis living harmoniously?  Send in thousands of armed thugs to turn the place into a war zone.

A planet whose climate is being made healthier by decarbonizing our energy and transportation sectors?  Cancel funding for solar and wind.

Our national pastime used to be baseball.  Now it’s ruining things.
