A few facts:

• Trump lost the 2020 election.

• Though there was no evidence of significant voter fraud, the former president continues to claim the election was rigged.

• He urged his supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6th to disrupt the confirmation of the election results.

• He watched the insurrection on television for more than three hours before heeding the advice of his people and calling off the mayhem.

• More than 800 of the insurrectionists have been tried and sentenced.

• Trump says he’ll pardon these people if he’s re-elected in 2024.

• Here, he’s saying that violence post the 2024 election is an option “depending on the fairness of the election.”

• Trump got 71 million votes in 2020. If only 0.1% of them are armed and prepared to take to the streets in the event that Trump loses, that’s 71,000 morons with assault rifles, ready to do whatever Trump asks of them.

Given this, is there anyone who thinks there’s the slightest chance that this country will avoid widespread violence if Trump loses the election?

I encourage readers to check out this tongue-in-cheek ad for plant-based meat.

There is a maxim in marketing warning against “promoting the enemy line,” this is so clever, I can see where it could be quite effective.

As we all know, the GOP will stop at nothing to win the midterms, thus making it impossible to remove the sociopathic criminal from the White House.

But did any of us see this coming?

Macabre.

A Profile in Corporate Greed

I just met a woman who’s been a flight attendant for Delta Airlines since the early 1990s, who laments that her company has been ruined by corporate greed, which has trashed so many other things in our lives.

As it turns out, the CEO makes more than $20 million per year, largely based on bonuses associated with cutting costs. “Now we have tray tables that don’t work and seatbacks that don’t recline, and nobody even thinks about fixing them.”

She went on, “This shift has been particularly obvious in the case of Delta, which, when I started with them, was known for its southern charm and the feeling of welcoming its passengers. Now, that gone. It’s like it never existed.”
