Obviously, young Americans should have some level of familiarity with the U.S. Constitution.  If I were designing a high school curriculum, I’d make it a part of U.S. History.

Of course, that was a serious answer to a rhetorical and politically motivated question.  The thinly veiled accusation here is that colleges need to accept some level of limitation on their cranking out liberals, who, the allegation continues, have no respect for or interest in the Constitution.

The supposedly neutral question is posed by Turning Point USA (TPUSA) an American conservative nonprofit. TPUSA’s affiliated organizations include Students for Trump.

It’s truly offensive, but welcome to America in 2020.

From Bloomberg Green:

Exxon Mobil Corp. has been planning to increase annual carbon-dioxide emissions by as much as the output of the entire nation of Greece (17% — see graph), an analysis of internal documents reviewed by Bloomberg shows, setting one of the largest corporate emitters against international efforts to slow the pace of warming.

One of Trump’s doctors made the remark we see at the left here.

How powerful the voice of reason.

How sad that it falls on deaf ears.

People say that Trump has never been defeated, that he always finds a way to win, regardless of how ruthless and criminal his behavior needs to be.

My response is what this guy wrote.  You’re always undefeated.  Until you’re defeated.

Justice for Trump is right around the corner.

Does, as MLK told us, the arc of the moral universe bend toward justice?  I’m not sure, but it sure looks like Trump’s time is near.

Erin Perrine is the Director of Press Communications for Donald Trump, and yes, she really said this.

This is the level of intelligence that the president’s re-election campaign is targeting.

But is this who we are as a nation?  Guess we’ll find out soon.

At left is one of the greatest pieces of wisdom ever offered on this Earth.

Emerson also said, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

May that inspire our work as environmental activists.  Given the circus that is now the United States, it’s easy to lose hope, or even interest, in building an effective societal transformation in the direction of compassion, environmental stewardship, and sustainability.  Yet it can happen, and if enough of us believe that, it will happen.

How much jail time are Trump’s most avid supporters willing to do for helping the president steal the 2020 election?

The reason there is so little voter fraud in U.S. elections is that the penalties are so severe.  In the past 15 years, there have been just 31 cases of voter impersonation of the last one billion votes.  Why?  Well, at least in part, because it’s a felony, punishable under federal criminal statutes by up to five years in prison.

The young ass****s here are facing much longer sentences because of the magnitude of their crimes.  Sounds like justice to me.

No, sorry, she’s not regressive enough for me.

I want to see witch burnings and heretics on the rack.

This strikes me as a poor analogy from the start.  Pro Mask vs. Anti Mask? That’s like saying “science vs. superstition,” or “kindness vs. cruelty.” They really are natural opponents.

But the end is even worse: Who’s shaking the jar???  Like that’s not obvious?

Hint: It’s a guy desperate for re-election, whose only chance is to tear our country apart.  And it’s not a secret; it’s not like this is happening and no one can see it.

For a society to be productive, happy and sustainable, it must be one built on mutual respect and cooperation; this won’t happen in an environment of mistrust, hate, and racially motivated violence.  And there’s the issue right there: Trump couldn’t care less.  He wants re-election, and he’ll burn this country to the ground to achieve it.

My mom and I were talking about this just last night.  Is it right to wish an agonizing death for someone, regardless of how evil he happens to be?

Personally, I can’t go there.  I know this is a controversial issue, and I appreciate what the blogger at left is saying, but I join the Bidens and the Obamas in their “high-road” approach, wishing Trump a speedy and full recovery. (more…)
