From last night’s Oscars:
Trump posts on his social media page, which Kimmel read aloud: “Here’s something I just got on my phone. Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous.”
To which Kimmel, hosting the Academy Awards, for the fourth time. responds, “Ok now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social. Anyone? No? Well, thank you President Trump. Thank you for watching, I’m surprised you’re still – isn’t it past your jail time?” Prompting cheers and laughs from the audience.
Obviously, it’s Trump’s nature to be combative with his political enemies; in fact, I think it’s fair to say that he’s powerless to do otherwise, regardless of the consequences. This is why he’s still defaming E. Jean Carroll, even as the size of the judgement against him continues to rise.
I guess he’s thinking that this compulsive/obsessive behavior has always world for him in the past. That’s true, and Trump has tens of millions of supports for this and his other neuroses.
Trump’s Strategy of Constant Attack Plays Itself Out Again at the Academy Awards
Not sure about this.
A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.
This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.
The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%. To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.
Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.
This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.
If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.
What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy? Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?
I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
