Yes, Hegseth and RFK, Jr. will be gone, but I think what’s going to happen first is the decapitation of the snake itself, i.e., the removal of Trump from the presidency.

Based on the news on social media, this could happen via the 25th Amendment, based on Trump’s mental deterioration.  In my view, that’s a shame.  If he’s not criminally prosecuted, this nation will be deprived of letting the American people and the rest of the world know that rule of law still matters in the United States.

 

As suggested at left, the world will never forget that the launch pad for all the destruction during Trump’s second term was our nation’s failure to prosecute the criminal sociopath for his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6, 2021.

Had these acts of treason been dealt with swiftly, all of this would have been avoided.

 

The answer will probably surprise you.

Here’s a very interesting TED Talk on this subject.

To the author of the meme here, FWIW, I agree.  My wife employed a decent number of immigrants from Mexico for her horse breeding operation, and I found them to be hardworking, honest, respectful, and family-oriented.

Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.

It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months.  But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it.  Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.

We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.

When I was young, I heard someone say, “The first execution this country televises will be the last one ever performed here.”

I think he was right at that time. You’d have millions of people watch that barbarism and realize that it was done in their name.

But today, we’re a far more insensitive, brutal, and stupid people than we were 50 years ago.  If you doubt that, just look at the quality of the people at the top of the federal government–people like RFK Jr., Hegseth, and Trump.

The vast majority of Americans have liberal views. About 70% of us favor a woman’s right to choose abortion, high-quality public education, affordable healthcare, clear air and water, the use of science in policymaking, equal rights for minority ethnicities and religions, and efforts to trim the enormous gap between rich and poor.

It would be very interesting to know what percentage of U.S. voters believe that liberals hate America, that we believe our country “is fundamentally evil and the only remedy is destroying our nation with mass migration (sic).”

Trump’s approval rating is about 30%, and a few percent of that is the amoral super-rich.  So possibly it’s in the high 20s.

But aren’t there at least some MAGA folks who would concede that educated people don’t necessarily hate America?  My mother lived on a steady diet of Fox News, but even she had respect for Bernie Sanders, about whom she said, “I admire his sincerity, misguided though it is.”

One has to conclude that the followers of the ultra-right stupidity can’t possibly determine the outcome of the U.S. midterms.

 

 

Whoa.  Let’s take a step back.  Is it really either A or B?

You could be on the side of the morons, those incapable of any level of critical thinking, like the author of the meme here.

The United States seems set on propelling itself backwards.

Maybe, as they say, “Hell has a special place reserved in it” for people like Thom Tillis, Republican Senator from North Carolina, who enabled Trump to rape and destroy the United States.

That was until it became clear to Tillis that he could jump ship, write a scathing book about the president, get all over mainstream news promoting it, and go on to enjoy another chapter of political success.

That we Americans are so stupid that we accept this blatant hypocrisy and criminality is sad proof that we’re not the people we were 20 years ago. Maybe what many people are saying are correct: we deserved what we got.
