   Ah… I see. Just fine and righteous to railroad Democrats into jail but not a man who was tried and found guilty by a jury of his peers… probably smarter and more ethical than he.

   I do wish President Biden would pause all assistance until Bibi either toes the line or is forced out of office. I really don’t appreciate my tax dollars are being used to kill children and other civilians.

   I feel so bad for Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Imagine you have reached the epitome of your profession and it turns out it’s full of immoral, unethical magas.

   He did not like the jokes President [at the time] Obama made about him. Hubris led him to run. When he was president, I’d comment on his FB page… if he hadn’t ridden down the ‘golden’ escalator’, he’d still be a private citizen – lying, grifting, breaking laws – and no one would pay attention. Now, he’s in trouble and it’s all because of his hubris… and let’s not forget, he’s a *malignant narcissistic psychopath.

   In the conclusion to their paper, Petersen and his co-authors write that the need for chaos emerges from the interplay among “dominance-oriented” traits (i.e., a preference for traditional social hierarchies), feelings of marginalization, and intense anger toward elites. Together, these traits would seem to apply to several voting groups: white conservative men nostalgic for the patriarchy; independents who are furious about elite institutional failures during and after the pandemic; and culturally conservative, nonwhite Americans, especially men, who might feel marginalized by racism and economic inequality but also rue the latest waves of #MeToo feminism. Indeed, all of these groups are shifting toward the Republican Party under Trump. – “The Americans Who Need Chaos”They’re embracing nihilism and upending politics.By Derek Thompson The Atlantic, Feb 2024

   Gaia is hurting. I think of it as a person with cancer who’d do anything to get rid of it.
