An excellent substack to subscribe to:
MEDIA LENS asks: ”Is Donald Trump A Racist, Misogynistic, Ethnic Cleansing, Climate Denying Opponent Of War?”
Give credit where credit is due.
I'm prepared to grant the President more leeway than most. The first indicator that he knows what the game is about is the team he has successfully appointed against major odds. The disappointing results of his first term has been ascribed to a bad team, moving against him at every turn, a team he was forced to accept say some observers. This time it seems, he knows the score.
So we must look at DEEDS, not WORDS, the latter being likely calculated to achieve the former and not necessarily representing what any on his team really thinks or believes. Palestine? What western politician could get away with condemning Israel right now? Or, even doing so, achieving something of note? Or cutting off arms and aid?
Global warming? The practical approach is to denounce the hypocrisy of all the Paris signees who talk the talk but little else. Maybe this could prepare the way for something more effective against the petroleum-industrial complex. This will not be a piece of cake, as it is obvious that reversing CO2 emissions would require major rationing of some sort.
And Kennedy does seem the ideal manager to erode the power of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex. And Musk to chainsaw govrot as he did with Twitter. Patel to shake up one of the most corrupt organizations ever to infest the USA...
The right do-ers for the corresponding deeds. You don't need a Feynman to change a light-bulb, nor an Einstein to balance your checkbook! Let's see where all this goes, practically, step-by-carefully-calcualted-step, before we stoop to mudslinging and Bill Kristolisms.
Of interest, and supporting some of my positions:
