Regarding the meme here, ExxonMobil writes: We are helping heavy industry reduce their emissions with carbon capture and storage.
Here’s the White House press secretary talking about how President Trump is taking on the drug cartels, to keep Americans safe from fentanyl. “It was a promise the president made on the campaign trail, and he’s making good on it.”
If the U.S. were attacking Mexico, this might be vaguely credible. But anyone who believes that our hostility against Venezuela is based on Trump’s dedication to halting the influx of drugs into this country is a true idiot.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
Kristin Chenoweth was deeply affected by the backlash to her comments about the death of Charlie Kirk.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Nov. 3, the “Wicked” star, 57, addressed the mixed reactions she received in September after writing on Instagram that she was “upset” about the conservative activist’s killing. “Didn’t always agree but appreciated some perspectives,” she said at the time.
If you’re the owner of a gun shop, making a statement to the effect that you’re a Trump supporter, and have an appreciation for perspective of racism is probably not going to do you too much harm, since intelligent and compassionate people don’t hang out in places that assault rifles are sold.
On the other hand, if you’re a public figure, especially an entertainer, you might do well to keep your hateful opinions to yourself.
I have to confess that I had no idea that Rob Reiner was such a ferocious humanitarian–even when I saw him attack Trump.
The cartoon here could be referring to “news” programs like Newsmax and Fox News.
Or, it could be talking about social media, and the people who use it to promulgate bullcrap.
In either case, it’s clever and on-point.
The author of the meme here has a good point. If the working class weren’t on board with Trump, we wouldn’t be in this deplorable condition.
What has taken us to this point is Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires paid for by gutting the federal government of everything is has traditionally done for the common American.
It’s hard to imagine why the message of compassion at left isn’t universal.
Do we have a beef with the people of Russia or China? With folks who are gay, black, or poor?
What do we have to gain with our American First mentality?
What’s the downside of taking care of one another?
Tens of millions of people who don’t believe in science.
The good ol’ “America–love it or leave it” sentiment from the Vietnam era has come back from the grave, with all the vitriol and stupidity (plus some) that it had in its first incarnation.
To most of us, loving America remains re-establishing rule of law, and using it to remove Trump from office and replacing him with a sane and honest individual, who actually cares about the wellbeing of the common citizen.
Even when all this stupidity is over, our experience with ICE kidnapping and violations of due process will remain forever as one of the world history’s most monstrous acts.
