What makes getting rid of Trump so difficult is the incredible level of stupidity of such a wide swath of the American people. Haitians are not eating Ohioans’ pets, and our children are not receiving transgender surgeries in the schools’ nurses’ office.
Not too many people sitting on the fence at this point.
Regarding the deluge of reports concerning the acceleration of climate change, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, and other forms of environmental collapse, Nick Young offers his comments at left.
But did we have a choice when it came to organizing our society? Did we have a real, viable option not to put money and power at the center of human civilization? I don’t recall being asked for my input.

Here’s James Talarico on how trickle-down economics came into being. Three minutes. Masterful.
Sure, there have been many other people who have lived according to the beliefs expressed here by philosopher and American revolutionary Thomas Paine, but their numbers don’t begin to compare with those who think of themselves as patriots of the country of their birth and adherents to the religion they were assigned by their parents.
What a terrible shame. It’s easy to imagine a world of peace and harmony, but it sure seems an incredible challenge to get there. This is especially true today, on a planet that is increasingly led by fascist dictators, and a population where ignorance, nationalism, and hate is heating up by the day.
Virtually all top-ranking retired military brass view Trump as shown at left. On top of that, Hegseth has publicly fired all current generals and admirals who are not loyal to Trump, as the entire world watched the purge.
