Outside of the fact that Liz Cheney and I both recognize that Donald Trump is a criminal sociopath, I would be surprised to learn that she and I have anything in common in our political and philosophical reckoning.
Still, when I see memes like the one here, it makes me think how be good it would be for nation if she could gain traction in the Republican Party.
I’m afraid, however, that this is a pipedream. Until a) Trump is removed from the scene and b) enough time passes for the trauma he created to dissipate, there is no mechanism for a voice of reason to make any real headway in restoring sanity to the GOP.
Now, as a progressive, maybe that’s a good thing. As an American and citizen of the world however, it’s hard to watch an entire political party with tens of millions of adherents wallow in the cesspool they made.
In their ad, the folks offering “The Most Complete Periodic Table Ever” claim that, if your kid is struggling with chemistry, she can improve with this product, which is essentially tons of useless information.
Who discovered molybdenum? In what year? What is its market value?
We are a society in which our facility with science is now in free-fall. If you think that blunting whatever may remain of your child’s natural curiosity with crap like this a good idea, here’s where to shop.
Poor and working-class Americans are struggling with the current economy.
The MAGA base must be going insane. Trump’s telling them that the economy is great while they’re paying $6/gallon of gas and $12.99 for a pound of hamburger.
Re: what comedian Bill Maher says at left: bullcrap.
The “left” would like to see the United States a) evolve into a social democracy like the countries in Northern Europe, and b) expel its authoritarian president.
Not much new here, and certainly, nothing “goofy.”
