You and I may agree with the author of the meme here, but the typical Trump supporter is delighted that their leader has released 1500 cop-beaters from prison and is threatening to invade our allies.

I often ask Trump supporters if they see any gray area, i.e., if the president has done anything that is in any way morally questionable in their view.  I’ve never gotten a yes answer, regardless of how outrageous the latest news is.

Of course, some of these people are typical MAGA idiots, but some are highly educated and extremely well-read.  That’s how strong the pull is here.

Until quite recently, the United States was an honorable country.

In particular, our presidents weren’t criminal bullies.

People speculate that Trump’s plan is to bombard the country and the rest of the world with enough outrageous stupidity that some of it sticks, and that it really doesn’t matter which part.

Re: the meme here, Trump is a convicted felon, and Netanyahu could be arrested any day by the International Criminal Court on numerous crimes against humanity.  But here at home, Americans are worrying about Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, the destruction of American education, and climate change.

Where exactly should we be focusing our attention? It’s over here …. Oh wait.

I guess the 25-year-old neo-Nazi who’s part of Elon Musk’s presidency wasn’t expecting to have to resign in disgrace like this. A pity.

Sorry for the sarcasm.  What’s truly a pity is the moral cesspool that this country has become.

We all know that RFK Jr. has no understanding of science.  But let’s be honest: ignorance of, or the outright rejection of science is par for the course at this point in American history–especially at the highest levels of government.

In just the first two weeks of his second presidency, Trump has already made great strides in replacing every scientifically competent federal government employ with a MAGA thug whose only qualification is his loyalty.  Proficiency has no more relevance now than the color of the ties he wears, or the style of his shoes.

If we’ve learned anything in the short period of time since Trump’s second inauguration, it’s that there is no basis to expect rational thinking from the U.S. president.  Lunacy is the order of the day, and if we expect anything else, we’ll soon be just as insane as he is.

Here’s a gentleman who looks at the apparent demise of USAID in religious terms.

I would submit that the act is just as despicable when viewed through a secular lens.

The latest fad in American society seems to be denying the existence of things that clearly do exist.

If you hate/fear people of minority sexual orientations, that’s a shame, but it’s your own business.  If you don’t believe they exist, or that they should disappear from the face of the Earth through some mysterious force, that’s just pathetic.

It’s like saying that lemons and oranges don’t exist.

As suggested at left, Trump’s PR team is not ignoring America’s kids.

Maybe a reader can clue me in as to how what the president is doing is delivering a “stronger, safer and more prosperous America” as he:

• Abolishes the Department of Education

• Fires key people air traffic safety

• Removes dozens of inspectors general and other government watchdogs

Withdraws our nation from the World Health Organization

Stops communication coming from the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

• Installs crackpot RFK Jr. into a position where vaccines will be hard to come by

• Pulls the U.S. out of the Paris Accord, blocking efforts to mitigate climate change by the most prosperous nation on Earth

It’s hard to understand how we got to the point where the American people happily accept total crap like this.

If you don’t mind being sickened by what’s going on in Washington D.C. at the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, here’s a clip from a recent episode of Stephen Colbert’s show featuring the (former) administrator of the philanthropic agency USAID.

How abruptly was the agency shuttered? “There was a long line of children in Sudan waiting for their TB medicine,” she began.  “At the moment the executive order came through, the first three had already received their doses, and the entire rest of the line was told to go home.”
