@randahl #AgentOrange is a smart idiot, whose primary talent is rallying, infecting dumb idiots, with dreams of White Privilege and Supremacy.
But he’s not smart enough to talk his way out of what he did. “Ok, that shit didn’t stick, try this! It was Antifa! It wasn’t an insurrection! No, it was bring your bat to the Capitol Day! It was staged by the FBI! Deep State, Deep State! And I was not involved in any way! I’m like Jesus on the cross! You evangelicals know what I mean!!”😤😖😱🤠🤡💩

I absolutely love this. On Truth Social, Donald Trump now promotes the conspiracy theory, that the US government staged the January 6 attack.
So somehow the deep state was able to get Trump to rally the crowd, fire them up with lies and instruct them to go down to The Capitol and “fight like hell”.
I have to know more — was Trump a victim of hypnosis?

Ron DeSantis makes Alabama Governor George Wallace look like Tom Hanks.

It’s both painful and difficult to laugh when you’re suffering from laryngitis.

Tubs thinks he’s still playing football. He cannot comprehend there’s no football, only the lives of military personnel and their families. https://www.al.com/politics/2023/07/military-spouses-deliver-petition-to-tuberville-on-inappropriate-and-unpatriotic-hold-on-nominations.html
@AlliFlowers Great point!

I’ve gotten quite a few follows lately from folks with private accounts. I will never request to follow someone as I believe it defeats the whole purpose of social media.
@br00t4c This is a good article, but money, economic systems, carpet baggers and millionaires, billionaires who think they deserve to live like Kings stand in the way.
A particular political party in the US has and wants to reduce taxes for the wealthy by millions and more instead of using it for the greater good, oh like fighting global warming, while they throw you a dollar and expect you to cheer them. And make no mistake there are a lot of dummies cheering. Can you tell I’m a pessimist? 🥵

Cascading Climate Disasters Call for Resolve, Not Despair

@voight This is very possible as we stare into the environmental abyss after decades of warnings, and today with countries around the globe we are still unable to address this crisis because of our economic systems that apparently value wealth more than human life and survival. I predict what it will take is food shortages, death by the millions, a general breakdown and then we are reduced back to small tribes, we’ll get a second chance or we’ll just continue to be selfish and repeat the cycle.

@Huntn00 the level of grist going on in our society is probably worse than the late 1800s and early 1900s in the days of the #RobberBarons except with the added twist that we’re all going down the ecological shitter, and apparently, headlong into oblivion. Which the earth will survive, but we will not.
@voight “Recycled plastic” was the successful scheme to sanitize plastic as a petroleum product. Yeah, yeah, that’s it, we’ll recycle them! Except as you say they are collected as recyclables, but the joke is on us as these items are dumped in the landfill or burned. 😡

@Huntn00 one other thing I will say, is that, in my work in the public sector, and seeing the goings-on that I do, I’ve noticed that most of the recycle that people think they’re putting into the proper bins, goes right into the trash, and isn’t recycled at all

@Huntn00 I’m reading a really interesting yet enraging book called They are the Plunderers’s. It’s very hard for me to want to finish because it makes me so goddamn angry how far down we’ve gone in the society. But it is an excellent book.

@Huntn00 I think what needs to be done, at least one of the multiple things that needs to be done, is we need to get rid of private equity firms, and we need to revamp our particular form of #VampireCapitalism.

Instead of companies I think that these fossil fueled extreme weather events should be named after the people who helped to make them happen like for example, the Rex Tillerson Heat Wave and the Frank Luntz Flood.
@ProPublica Are the Ref States using these funds as intended? 🤔

“We’re Huge in Learning Loss!” Cashing in on the Post-Pandemic #Education Crisis.
==
Test scores are plummeting while tens of billions in federal aid flows to #schools. A visit to a recent education #technology convention provides a glimpse of the frenzy to profit from the recovery efforts.
@voight Mountains of trash (landfills) across the country and around the world, burning millions of tons of trash,spewing into the atmosphere, or dumping it into the ocean. Waste management as it currently exists is a huge red flag that our civilization is not as advanced as we pat ourselves on the back for. In our Capitalist systems it is hard to image every pound of waste being recycled. What changes are required and necessary? 🤔
