We come across this a lot, i.e., the mass resignation of honest people in government positions when they are faced with extraordinary levels of corruption and other untenable positions. As the senator from Connecticut points out, this is a double-edged sword. We applaud their integrity, but we need to deal with the fact that the only people remaining are the bad apples.
This happens constantly in the parts of government that deal with energy and the environment. Many dozens of our top scientists in the Department of Energy and the EPA have resigned their positions since Donald Trump came on the scene, and right-wing politics have made it impossible for them to carry on with their duties. Whom does this leave? Climate deniers and others who reject (or don’t understand) basic science.
From “Voice of a Nation”:LOL. If the future is simply an extension of the present, by the time 2028 rolls around, there will be very few people who will even admit that they supported this criminally fascist regime, let along want to see it continue.
From the Sierra Club:
Washington, DC – Today, in a brazen assault on the health and welfare of the American public, the Trump administration announced its rule revoking the Environmental Protection Agency’s longstanding greenhouse gas endangerment finding under the federal Clean Air Act. With the stroke of a pen at a White House, Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have formalized climate denialism as official government policy and moved to eliminate EPA’s ability to directly fight the climate crisis.
We’ve known since the onset of Trump’s first administration that this highly corrupt president will do anything required to help the corporate polluters that support him financially. The collapse of the environment is collateral damage, perfectly acceptable to the chief fascist.
According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, if the election were held today, Mike Lindell would lose to Amy Klobuchar by a margin of 53% to 31%.
Now, exactly what does that translate to in terms of a probability of Lindell’s winning? I’m unaware of a scientific method of making that calculation, but it can’t be more than 1 or 2 percent. Perhaps the same as a three-legged horse winning the Kentucky Derby this coming May.
Minnesota is one of the least favorable states in the union for a moron Trump supporting liar, who lost a $2.3 million defamation suit when he claimed that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the 2020 election in favor of Biden.
Sure, California or Massachusetts would be worse, but most Minnesotans are well educated and affluent people with solid moral values.
