Former Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Donald Trump: “I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed…he is unqualified and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”
It sure would have been nice if statements like these, that are as obvious as the nose on your face, could have dominated the public discourse in time to have made a difference.
Also, not to pick nits, but “beyond repair” implies that there was a former state to which the subject could be restored, e.g., “He repaired the damage automobile.” This is not the case with Trump, who appears to have been a sociopath all his life.
Very few people object to Donald Trump on the basis that he’s a capitalist. All 340 million of us live in a capitalist country, one that has done just fine for itself over the last 250 years.
On the other hand, the vast majority of Americans reject Trump as a lifelong criminal, now sucking the life out of the common citizen, and throwing away our country’s former glory so as to further enrich himself.
Renewable Energy
Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Today’s Topic: Is CO2 a Lever in Climate Change?
Question: Why is Venus, though farther from the sun than Mercury, much hotter?
Answer: Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.
Relevance: As shown here, heavily funded (funded by whom?) climate deniers are inventing dozens (hundreds?) of ways to convince us that climate change is a hoax.
IMO, the most important principle at stake here is the freedom of speech as guaranteed under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a document that used to be held in very high regard.
