I have a good friend who attends public science meetings with me who offered, over a year ago, an extremely...
...pessimistic prediction that the United States would fall and the Orange Pedophile would be the cause.
I was dismissive of the argument; saying the Orange Pedophile would never return to power.
I have apologized to him for being dismissive.
You are entitled to your optimism of course, but as an old man, living in a collapsing world, I have lost any semblance of it.
This morning we had Federal Agents storm an office responsible for the integrity of elections in order to satisfy a senile nutcase who now wants to try President Obama for treason.
I no longer share the optimism anymore that fair elections will be held in this country. Soothsaying is generally noted for being as useless as the 25th amendment is in this case.
PS: I'm a grown up, and I really, really, really, really don't need to be lectured about the integrity of news sources. I have lived and preached critical thinking for many years and waded through loads of bullshit both in my professional and private life. While one should consider the source (and I'm not at all familiar with Newsweek anymore) the posted article, which notes that the Orange Pedophile has dementia, hardly a right wing talking point, makes an argument that I can accept. The 25th amendment is useless in this case.
It doesn't matter if the article were written by the ghost of Rush Limbaugh, the point is well made.
The source has no bearing on whether or not the argument is well thought out and presents a viable case. I do believe that that boy Vance may actually be worse, but either way, the United States is collapsing from Constitutional dysfunction.
