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.
Yes, our atmosphere and our waterways will soon be seeing increasing concentrations of mercury, lead, cadmium, selenium, and arsenic, not to mention other neurotoxins like a wide array of radioactive isotopes, so that the Trump administration can placate billionaire donors.
But seriously, what are a few million agonizing deaths from these carcinogens compared with huge campaign donations?

Well, what’s in it for these people to foster a generation of bright, literate youngsters with a thirst for learning?
Absolutely zero.

Keep this in mind next time you receive hear news about the dismantling of scientific institutions and the destruction of public education.
