As I wrote earlier, Trump is despised by New York City, and would have been wiser to hold a rally elsewhere.
Attorney and Trump critic Ron Filipkowski said of Trump’s rally in the Bronx: “Right-wing media can hype this all they want. In a city of over 8 million people, Trump drew 4,000 tops. That’s with a lot of people from out of state.”
Characteristically, Robert De Niro puts it far better than I can.
From the Sandy Hook Promise:
When the Senate failed to pass background check legislation after my sweet little Daniel was murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary, I was absolutely devastated. I had spent months going from Senate office to Senate office, sharing photos of my gap-toothed little boy – showing them the human toll of inaction. It gutted me to watch as some of those same senators voted to stop the bill, but I refused to give up hope.
Out of curiosity, I just signed up to receive Chevron’s monthly newsletter, which features a regular article on what the oil behemoth is doing to clean up the energy sector.
Of course, if this is to mean anything substantive, it needs to spell out how exactly Chevron is moving the world away from fossil fuels, and, as we all know, that’s not happening. Or, better put, if it is happening at all, it’s due to the pressure it’s receiving from the general public.
Now we simply have to hope that the author of the cartoon here, Dan Piraro, is wrong.
In today’s America, there is no question that the Republicans help the corporate world profit at the expense of the people, while Democrats are trying to help the common person get along.
Who will win?
Good question.
As I like to say, “They (the GOP) have the money; we have the people.”
Having said all this, as shown in the charts below, Biden actually is making some headway on our behalf, and his accomplishments are appreciated by many.
Question: Does the diagram at left correctly predict what will happen?
Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.
More detailed answer here.
As you read the meme here, ask yourself why Trump did this.
As a reader suggests, “Dead people can’t vote.”
I believe that’s it exactly. With Trump, every decision is transactional. “What can this do for me?” he reasons. If the answer is “Nothing,” it’s not going to happen.
Now, in fairness, everyone has some level of self-interest; thus, we’ve never had a completely selfless president. On the other hand, until now, we never had one who honestly couldn’t give a s*** about anyone but himself.
From VoteVets:
Donald Trump recently promoted fascist propaganda on his personal social media site, Truth Social. He posted a video of ideal newspaper headlines for if he won re-election. One of them reads “a unified Reich.” This is threatening fascist language that was used by European dictators in Nazi Germany during World War II. If we want to prevent history from repeating itself, we must act NOW. Please rush a donation and help VoteVets take action against this disgusting and dangerous behavior.
A couple of points:
• Yes, of all words meaning “governmental administration,” his choice here is a dog whistle (perhaps “airhorn blast?”) to his white nationalist support base.
• In the off chance that Trump is re-elected by electoral college, there will be nothing “unified” about his administration whatsoever. The majority of American voters detest Trump and everything he stands for.
As I’ve said before, it’s interesting that so many vets are so adamantly committed to ensuring Trump never sees the inside of the White House again. These are people of honor and truth, and they see through Trump completely.
To me, this comes under the heading: Don’t ask a question on the air to which you don’t know the answer.
Conventional wind turbines extract about 90% of the theoretically available kinetic energy from the wind, making this statement at left a bald-faced lie.
In addition, there is a reason that small wind no longer exists: it’s inherently impractical; the output is so small that it doesn’t justify the cost of building a high-quality turbine.
Anyone, especially Trump, should have known that the former president is reviled everywhere in New York City.
Want cheers? Sweet home Alabama.
