The New York Times reports as follows:
Election Updates: Trump falsely claims the Biden administration was ‘locked & loaded’ to kill him.
We all know that there are tens of millions of hateful morons who will believe anything Trump tells them. But fortunately, “tens of millions” isn’t going to get the job done in November.
In 2020, the former president got 74.2 million votes and still lost by almost exactly 7 million ballots. And that was before Trump was hit with indictments from four different jurisdictions totally 88 felony counts.
In many ways, we’re a pathetic nation. Can anyone imaging Germany, or France, or Japan electing a criminal conman to lead them? Yet our pitiable nature only goes so far, and that’s not nearly far enough to put Trump back in the White House.
Maybe the protestors are less concerned about length of time in office, and more with criminal authoritarianism.
I have such respect for Pascal that I considered naming our son after him. (My wife wasn’t having it. Maybe if we lived in France?)
Pascal made important contributions to both math and physics but he’s perhaps best known for his philosophic “wager,” that it makes sense to believe in God, since if He exists, you’ll be very glad you did, and if He doesn’t, you haven’t lost anything. I counter that this is not how we accept or reject religious tenets.
“Republican Patriots” writes: Howard Stern once again reveals the contempt so many in the entertainment elite hold for everyday Americans. He claims not to hate President Trump himself, but openly declares his hatred for those who support him, calling them stupid and saying he has no respect for them. This kind of arrogant dismissal shows how out of touch these Hollywood types have become with the hardworking people who built this country.
I’ve got news: contempt for Trump supporters is hardly limited to “these Hollywood types.” The vast majority of Americans–especially at this point–are neither greedy pigs nor hateful morons. We respect human rights and rule of law.
