We didn’t have this garbage when we grew up, so how did it happen?

The sad truth is that many Americans have family members whose thinking is not too distant from this guy’s.  Many of our parents were lost to Fox News.

One of mine was, and it hurt our family badly.

How Trump Became Possible

RFK, Jr. — A Menace of Planetary Magnitude

Published

If it weren’t for the extreme danger he represents to everyone on this planet, RFK, Jr. would be a fairly good joke.

The idea that the president of the United States would appoint a first-class crackpot with dozens upon dozens of gross and deeply felt misconceptions concerning science to be in charge of Americans’ health is just amazing.

It would have taken the average citizen literally months of research to find someone so manifestly unqualified for the position.

It’s Only a Matter of Time

From Reuters:
 New U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in one of his first acts in the job since being appointed by President Donald Trump, has revoked the personal security detail and security clearance for Mark Milley, the retired Army general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Milley, who served as the top U.S. military officer during some of Trump’s first presidential term, became a leading critic of him after retiring as a four-star general in 2023 during former President Joe Biden‘s administration and has faced death threats. Milley will also face an inquiry by the Pentagon inspector general’s office into his conduct that could lead to him being bumped down in rank.

Among other criticisms, Milley was quoted as calling Trump “fascist to the core” in “War,” a book by journalist Bob Woodward published last year.

I believe that it’s only a matter of time before Trump gives an order that clearly transcends legal and/or ethical boundaries, causing not only Milley but a great number of our nation’s other top military leaders to refuse to comply. In fact, it’s amazing that such a watershed event hasn’t happened yet.

The reason this seems inevitable is that there are so many arenas in which Trump’s wishes undercut non-negotiable parts of American life, especially the U.S. Constitution.

Suppose, for a moment, that Trump wants to run for a third term.  I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that two terms is the maximum that can be served by any given president, and it wasn’t “Better Homes and Gardens.”

Seriously, it’s hard to imagine that Trump and the military can go on indefinitely without coming to loggerheads.

Imagine that Trump says, “I’m invading Greenland.” A few minutes later, The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says, “The f*** you are.”

It’s only a matter of time.

He Got Us Coming and Going

Published

Of course, this sign is a work of Photoshop; it exists nowhere. Yet it conveys a message that a great number of us feel: a deep resentment of Trump supporters.

This may be what could be called the “double whammy” of the Trump administration: the terror we feel about three-plus more years of a criminal sociopath in the White House, and the knowledge that we live among people with an extremely tiny capacity to think and behave with decency towards others.
