Hating Trump
I wouldn’t say this about myself. Not to quibble about minor differences in the definitions of words, but I thought Trump was a sick joke, rather than an object of hatred, when he first entered the American political scene in 2015.
I remember calling my mom shortly after the first debate and asking her, “Isn’t there an unwritten rule that a candidate for the U.S. presidency has to be at least supposed to be a decent, honest, and reasonably intelligent person? That standard certainly existed when I was a little kid.
“I watched the election returns with you guys in 1960 and you were disappointed that Kennedy had won, but you didn’t think he was dishonest. When I was 13, the United States elected Nixon for the first time, and the second time when I was 17, but we didn’t know then that he was a criminal. This strikes me as an important distinction.”
She and I enjoyed a quick laugh about Trump, and Mom immediately assured me that he didn’t have a chance.
A short nine years later, the entire Republican party is being led around by the nose by a career felon.
The party is composed by about 5% of highly educated but amoral rich people, and about 95% of uneducated racists, but that actually could be enough to win Trump a second term as the leader of the free world.
Let’s begin by admitting that this is an America-only problem, and that, even here, in the world capital of mass shootings committed by the mentally ill, this would represent a rare situation in which a parent would find him/herself.
To the bottom of the meme at left I would add, “… and Criminality.”
Coors is definitely on my list too.
For Trump to stay out of prison, he’s going to have to either win in November (and dismantle the Justice Department’s prosecutorial efforts against him) or convince the courts that trying to overthrow the U.S. government was an “official act.”
If there were ever an argument against getting a tattoo, this is it.
I like the point this guy is making.
Because commercial wind turbines capture more than 80% of the theoretically available energy from the wind, these people’s claim that their devices double the energy output is a lie.
When I meet Scandinavians, i.e., folks from countries that are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings, I often ask them to explain this phenomenon.
This photo of Donald Trump and Kevin Roberts (the author of Project 2025) flying in Trump’s private jet has surfaced, and been made public for all to see that the two are definitely linked.
