From Steve Schmidt, former campaign manager to John McCain and lifelong Republican:
This is precisely where 74 million American voters live. It’s astounding.
When you’re wrestling with questions like Why won’t people wear masks? keep in mind that this is the level of intellect you’re dealing with.
As we all learn when we are young, some subjects of conversation are taboo, chief among them politics and religion. But what about societal disruption and collapse?
According to 500+ scientists and other scholars, there is a real possibility that, by the end of the 21st Century, humankind will have reached a breaking point, associated with the relentless and ever-increasing exploitation of nature–and of each other. Yet try to remember the last time anyone mentioned this, or published it in the media. (more…)
Someone made the selection shown here in blue, but a reader and I disagree with him. He notes: A republican lawmaker is saying Trump “wants to burn the house down before he leaves office.”
From Scientific American:
A big slice of corporate America—including utilities, banks and auto manufacturers—signed onto a statement yesterday calling on President-elect Joe Biden to work with Congress on “ambitious, durable, bipartisan climate solutions.”
I’d like to believe this is true. Yet even if it is, a lot of these people speak with “fork-ed tongue.” Big banks want climate change solutions? Where do you think the financing for the fossil fuel infrastructure is coming from? Santa Claus?
I suppose all this turns on what the author here means by “big.” Yes, there are industries that don’t have dogs in the fight, but please don’t tell me that Ford wants to see a dramatic reduction in VMT (vehicle miles travelled), e.g., by replacing passenger cars with mass transit, or that no one will be building oil pipelines because capital formation is no longer possible, or that retailers are hoping for a less consumer-driven society.
Someone asked a 2GreenEnergy reader: Why don’t you own an AR-15 yet?
He responded: I don’t own an AR15 because the only reason one would buy one is to murder large groups of people very quickly. I do not intend to do that.
But when we do, it will be excellent. The very best plan. Far better than Obamacare. And less expensive. All your pre-existing conditions will be covered. The perfect plan. Actually, there will be several different plans.
Seriously, 74 million Americans voted for this sick joke of a human being. That he has no interest in nor capacity for telling the truth means nothing to them whatsoever.
This clearly isn’t the type of country that Americans want to live in.
That’s why the mobster lost by more than seven million votes.
This is as close as a free society can come to failing, while still making it through.
We all need to stand behind whatever pieces of our democracy that are still in place, and remove this human malignancy.
And people say we have nothing to celebrate. Horse hockey. Rush Limbaugh is going off the air.
For more than 30 years, Limbaugh, the country’s most popular incendiary radio talk show host, had been spewing his hate speech into millions of Americans’ minds. (more…)
We’re surrounded by reminders of how 2020 has been a year of events that make no sense.
Here’s a photo of a contemporary furniture design that underscores this very point.
