It’s comments like the one on the left that should serve as a reminder that Trump’s only power lies in the feeblemindedness of that “base” to which his late sister refers.

I only wish I had a good idea as to how to wake these people up.

Btw, I don’t disapprove of the way the Ms. Trump Barry used course language to make her point.  That said, my mother was from this era, and in all the years we spent together, had she ever used the phrase “holy shit” in my presence, I probably would have passed out on the floor in utter shock.

“Trump Is Cruel”

Writing my recent post called “Educating for Peace” reminded of one of my first clients, a gentleman by the name of Dan McGee, who casually mentioned on day that he considered himself a “citizen of Earth,” as opposed to the United States.

We live in a country in which a huge number of residents will tell you with great authority (and not too much thought) that “America is the greatest country on Earth.” If I were to make such a statement, I’d first consider what this actually means, in terms of health, longevity, happiness, education, equality of justice, environmental responsibility, wealth distribution, capacity for kindness, and compassion for people who may not look or worship like we do.

I know that such thinking doesn’t hold much water among the Fox News devotees and MAGA folks, but somehow that’s OK with me.

We Are Citizens of Earth

There’s no question that something has gone incredibly wrong with the United States, and, as shown at left, you don’t have to be an American to see that.

The question is what to do about it.  Trump is not a state representative from South Dakota, nor is he the mayor of Houston.  He’s the U.S. President, and the majority of Congress do anything he asks as required not to earn his vengeance.
