Right to Peaceful Assembly
Apparently, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who majored in political science, was absent the day they taught the U.S. Constitution in college.
The “Plandemic”
It wasn’t too long ago that crackpots spewing nonsense like this with no supporting evidence were ostracized by society. Now, our Republicans elect them to the U.S. senate.
You’d have to believe that “the elites” a) conspired with the top people in the other 200+ countries on Earth, b) had a motive to kill over 7 million people worldwide, c) wanted to cripple the world economy, and d) didn’t mind watching their loved ones die agonizing deaths.
Three More Years?
I seriously doubt that Trump will be the most powerful person in the world three years hence.
He is so roundly detested by people of intelligence and compassion around the globe that it seems impossible that something somewhere isn’t going to derail this sociopath.
Power Enables Us to Help Others
Power is the ability to do good things for others. – Leo TolstoyTrue power is not about control or status. It is about using what you have to help others grow, heal, or feel supported. Tolstoy reminds us that strength shows itself through kindness and service. When power is guided by compassion, it becomes a force that improves lives rather than dominates them.
I’m sure there have been rulers since the time of Marcus Aurelius who have embodied this idea.
One could point to the great thinkers at the time of The Enlightenment in Europe and the authors of the U.S. Constitution.
Certainly, there have been some great world leaders here and there, including some of our American presidents, but too many have risen to and held power merely to build their wealth and power, and to punish their enemies. We don’t need to look too much further than our own president today to see that.
Regretting Voting for Trump
Not sure how this explains Trump’s cratering approval ratings.
Some of the hateful morons must have buyer’s remorse, for any of a dozen reasons. At the same time, some of the amoral rich must have realized that Trump knows nothing about economics, and that his policies are driving the nation into financial catastrophe.
LGBTQ “Ideology?”
I’d be interested to ask the gentleman at left, “Exactly what is an LGBTQ ‘ideology?'”
All we’re really talking about here is “live and let live,” something we all learned in kindergarten.
We shouldn’t step on ants, and we shouldn’t torment people of different sexual orientations.
Is Portland a War Zone?
This subject is addressed in the video linked below, in which the White House press secretary, one of the most unabashed liars of all time, suggests that reporters ask Portland residents directly whether or not their city is a hellscape.
Of course, it’s disgusting that the White House has no regard for the truth. But there is a comic element here too; if I were asked to name the most peace-loving city in the United States, Portland certainly would have been in my top five, along with perhaps Seattle and Santa Monica, CA.
Is MAGA Dealing with “Buyers’ Remorse?”
Jane Fonda says that most MAGA are struggling with “buyers’ remorse.”
Certainly this applies to some, and perhaps a few more every few days, when Trump threatens to invade another country, so he can put his name on it.
But sadly, it’s a very long way from “most.” Trump’s approval rating is hovering about 40%. That’s about 60 million voters, a combination of hateful morons and greedy rich people.
“Solar Flower”
If you don’t care how much you pay for electricity, and you don’t mind having your neighbors think you’re a moron, this is a great idea.
Ruining Our Planet with Coal
No one knows how much damage Trump will have inflicted on Earth’s environment by the time he leaves office. Another unanswerable question: how long it will take the world to repair that damage.
Coal is a highly effective tool in ruining our planet, starting with greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and methane). But it gets far worse: a) heavy metals, including mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and selenium, and b) an array of radioactive isotopes.
