It’s amazing that the population of Florida isn’t falling off a cliff, as its leadership continues to ratchet up the cruelty on its poor.
Apparently very few people are willing to go through the cost and hassle of selling their houses, packing their belongings, and getting as far away from this hate and ignorance as they possibly can, but I personally would be extremely uncomfortable surrounded on all sides by the ignorance and hateful politics of the Sunshine State.
Do “they want no water?”
Well, who’s “they,” and has anyone listening to this rant ever experienced what Trump is describing?
I know the former president has a significant support base, but isn’t there a limit past which it loses its appetitive for this type of insanity?
This guy makes a good point; people hate to look like idiots, and thus it stands to reason that we’re seeing fewer Trump flags.
The issue of course, is what these people do when they enter the privacy of the voting booth.
Jeff Bezos is worth $205 billion, which, given the impoverishment of a large percentage of his employees, is obscene.
But it gets worse, once we realize that it’s you and I who, via our taxes, are paying to prevent these people from suffering the privations of hunger and homelessness.
Prediction: American’s appetite for a convicted felon in the White House won’t last.
Advice: Pay attention to this bizarre moment in U.S. history. It won’t come again.
It’s hard to estimate with any accuracy how badly another Trump presidency will set the world back in terms of mitigating climate change. One thing, however, is certain: he’s making it very clear to Big Oil that their financial support in the coming election will result in the reversal of Joe Biden’s environmental policies that are cutting into the profits of the fossil fuel industry.
It’s rare to see this type of raw corruption taking place in plain view.
I’m not sure I would say that this is the true horror of religion, but it’s certainly in the top five.
If there is another public intellectual who has a better grasp on these issues than Sam Harris, I hope someone out there will introduce me.
Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich says: Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor. They’re acting like an arm of Trump’s campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.
This is unsavory, to say the least; it’s a totally unprecedented travesty of justice, a disgrace to this once-fine nation.
Yet it’s quite unlikely that Trump will be able to “run out the clock on his prosecution” and walk away a free man.
For that to occur, he’d first have to be re-elected. And even if he used his power to force the DoJ to drop the federal cases against him, or to pardon himself, that won’t get him off the hook in the cases filed in Fulton Country, Georgia, where he and 18 coconspirators are charged with a broad variety of felonies associated with attempting to overthrow the U.S. federal government under the RICO Act, and he is powerless to intercede.
You and I may agree with the meme here, but let’s be real: You could replace “Trump” with “Biden” and the MAGA crowd would be just as adamant.
What this means is that, though we talk about independent voters, they exist in extremely small numbers, if they exist at all.
We’re told that there are people who are on the fence about Biden because he’s too old. I’m unconvinced, reminded of the old joke:
To be on the fence in this case is like being asked to choose between two dishes on a cross-country flight, chicken, or a plate of dogs**t, infused with shards of broken glass, and then to ask how the chicken is prepared.
At left are a few words from four-star Marine Corps general John Kelly, who served as Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff from 2017 to 2019. He had previously served as Secretary of Homeland Security in the Trump administration and was commander of United States Southern Command.
Question: If you’re a top executive in a U.S. media organization, and you actually care about your country, what precisely have you been doing these last three-plus years? Where have you been? Why on Earth have you not been having this gentleman tell his story in full detail?
You’ve led us to the precipice of another four-year term for this criminal sociopath.
