I may sometimes have the naïve world outlook of an early 90s freshman philosophy major (until I learned I good drink beer AND break rocks for credit), but at least I don’t have the world outlook of a group of 12 year olds playing RISK.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

TRUMP: Well, you know, it won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial

A college sophomore at an Occupy rally could not have generated such a grotesque outsized caricature of US imperialism
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

He's literally set himself up as Ruler of Venezuela.
George Bush at least got a congressional resolution and an attempt at a UN resolution before invading and occupying Iraq.
Trump didn't even consult with the Gang of 8 in Congress and now declares himself the ruler. Sheesh.

Amid everything with Venezuela & Maduro and the Trump Regime's various justifications for its extrajudicial & anti-constitutional actions, a quick reminder that - just one month ago - Trump PARDONED former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández for his... wait for it... cocaine trafficking.
Breaking: President Trump pardons former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez serving 45-year sentence on drug charges.
Amid anti-drug push, Trump pardons leader sentenced on cocaine charges
Trump said Nov. 28 that he planned to pardon the former Honduran leader, and a White House official confirmed Dec. 2 that the pardon had been issued.

FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?
TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

We have a natural tendency to divide ourselves, often with fun, casual results. Other times, not so much.
I humbly suggest Musk find a fucking football team (original or American) to root for before he really fucks shit up.

Religious toleration was arguably one of the hallmark achievements of what Musk would call “western civilization,” but sure dude, we will all just sit around waiting for you to make your list of what you and your rich white friends will or will not tolerate. I look forward to complying fully.
