In an earlier post I made the point that more than 90% of the January 6th insurrectionists who are serving prison sentences were sent away for assaulting police officers, but that Trump is referring to them as “hostages,” and promising to pardon them if he is elected.
So, in essence, the concept is: everyone who breaks the law deserves to be punished except for a) those who attack law enforcement personally at the direction of a former president, and b) the former president himself, who has complete immunity from criminal prosecution, regardless of the nature and severity of the crime he committed.
Does the word “hypocrisy” come to mind?
The cartoon here by Dan Piraro speaks nicely to that as well.
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
The drawing here reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother in the early days of 2GreenEnergy when she saw that my focus had become an ongoing effort to improve the wellbeing of all the planet’s inhabitants–now and into the future.
She asked me, “Why don’t you just live your life?”
I explained, “This is my life.”
