“New Rule” on Presidential Qualifications
I’m afraid I have bad news. If there is a legal mechanism by which we can arrive at the “new rule” discussed here, it will have to pass muster with the supporters of Donald Trump, the world’s most famous convicted felon, and that doesn’t sound too likely.
What seems to have bitten us in the butt here is it never entered into the minds of the framers of the Constitution that Americans would someday be enthusiastic about putting a felon in the White House; otherwise they would have written it into Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5, along with “the President must be at least 35 years of age, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.”
Or maybe it did enter their minds, but they thought, “If future Americans are that ignorant and demented, they’ll get exactly what they deserve.”
At left is what I find so amazing (and disgusting) about what the Republican party has become since Trump came to power. There is not even the vaguest attempt to accomplish something that is “right” and “moral.”
I can’t guarantee this is real, but it’s funny, that’s for sure.
This guy makes an excellent point: Why is the media so quiet about Trump’s failings, be they moral, fiscal, mental, or emotional?
When one looks at this piece on Biden’s handling of Memorial Day, it’s hard not to think of Trump and how diametrically opposed the two are in their manner of addressing our nation.
It would be interesting to know how many Republican congresspeople agree with Gates, but won’t say so because of their desire to remain in power. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s over 90%.
This is a point I make frequently, that our understanding of the universe is a one-way street, away from religion and in the direction of science.
Nobody, at least me, is saying that this is a practical solution, given sandstorms and the challenge of distributing the energy to points of load around the globe.
Right, Never Surrender. 
Re: the piece on the left here, a reader notes: I read an article in The Atlantic and European leaders are extremely concerned about Trump winning again. Since Trump doesn’t (face up to) anything he really has absolutely no idea how the other NATO nations fear him being in office again. This especially true because he has repeatedly said he would back out of NATO.
