We Ought to Teach "Critical Thinking" in Elementary School. Since so many Republicans are Uneducated, Maybe if we Taught Them Young... They Wouldn't Be So Gullible... (That's a Word Meaning Easily Fooled)

Critical thinking is the objective analysis of facts to form a judgment... Since we have millions of people that ignore facts... and do not Question Authority... Maybe we would do the world a favor if we taught this subject... before they dropped out of skool...

How is "Herd Mentality" Supposed to Work as a Cure for Trump's Coronavirus? As #InfectedDonald Claims... MAGIC? Peter Pan? Tinkerbell? Wishing It Will All Go Away? FANTASY WORLD?

I Googled "Herd Mentality" and It Just DOES NOT Make any Sense as a Cure for Disease... Any Disease...

President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday during a televised town hall that "herd mentality" could make the coronavirus "disappear" with or without a vaccine... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/09/15/herd-mentality-trump-again-asserts-coronavirus-disappear/5812463002/

Trump’s ‘Herd Mentality’ Is Going to Kill Us... https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-coronavirus-herd-mentality-is-going-to-kill-us

The 2020 stock market crash, also referred to as Trump's Coronavirus Crash, was a major and sudden global stock market crash that began on 20 February 2020, and ended on 7 April.

The crash was the fastest fall in global stock markets in financial history, and the most devastating crash since the Wall Street Crash of 1929. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_stock_market_crash

Statue of Liberty Meme - Slingshot Trump - GTFO - gvan42

and then Mark Dias Said:

If the president loses the White House, which is looking very likely at this point, it will be 100% his doing.  It will not because conservatism failed.  Trump has become his own worst enemy

Trump fell in the quicksand, and as he struggles mightily  to extricate himself from its clutches he sinks deeper, he sees a branch just a few feet away but the more he tries to grab it, the more the mud clings to him.  He frantically waves his arms trying to grasp hold of anything in his path.   He yells “help” to the suburban women sitting a few yards away chatting amongst themselves, they glance, smile and continue chatting.  Trump then realizes they are just an illusion...he sinks further trying to grasp his breath and then.....

A Day in the Life of Sue Republican
Sue gets up at 6 a.m. and fills her coffeepot with water to prepare her morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.
With her first swallow of coffee, she takes her daily medication. Her medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of her medications are paid for by her employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Sue gets it too.
She prepares her morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Sue's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the shower, Sue reaches for her shampoo. Her bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for her right to know what she was putting on her body and how much it contained.
Sue dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air she breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
She walks to the subway station for her government-subsidized ride to work. It saves her considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Sue begins her work day. She has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Sue's employer pays these standards because Sue's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Sue is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, she'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think she should lose her home because of her temporary misfortune.
It's noon and Sue needs to make a bank deposit so she can pay some bills. Sue's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Sue's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Sue has to pay her Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and her below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Sue and the government would be better off if she was educated and earned more money over her lifetime.
Sue is home from work. She plans to visit her father this evening at his farm home in the country. She gets in her car for the drive. Her car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards.
She arrives at her childhood home. Her generation was the third to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
She is happy to see her father, who is now retired. Her father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Sue wouldn't have to.
Sue gets back in her car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Sue enjoys throughout her day. Sue agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm self-made and believe everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

THIS IS THE PHOTO THAT CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER... There was Thinking BEFORE... and Thinking AFTER... Global Awakening Happened...

Earthrise is a photograph of Earth and some of the Moon's surface that was taken from lunar orbit by astronaut William Anders on December 24, 1968, during the Apollo 8 mission. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise

This Map is What We Thought the World was Like Before...

But This is Not REALITY...

Reality is the Photo Above... One Blue Dot...

And there was Global Awakening...

TO REALITY...

Do you write conclusions first and then find facts to support whatever nonsense your corporate masters desire? Like the CATO Institute does? Heritage Foundation?

Obvious Corporate Think Tank Whores... Pay them and they will say anything! - Remember: It takes two to make an effective lie... the TELLER of the lie and the BELIEVER of the lie... Take this opportunity to WAKE THE FUCT UP!

I Campaigned Against Hillary on Social Media in 2016. The Russians did too. Trump did too. I DID NOT CONSPIRE WITH TRUMP OR PUTIN. We all just came to the same conclusion that she was no good ON OUR OWN.

I Campaigned for Bernie Sanders. Hillary used "Super Delegates" to STEAL the Democratic primary. It was obvious that VOTERS wanted Bernie but Wall Street and Corporations wanted Hillary. I have heard that the "Super Delegates" concept has not been destroyed entirely... The DNC needs to stop that insanity... and the entire election seemed like a tricky way to get BILL CLINTON Elected to a Third Term... He would run the country as "First Man" while she stood in the spotlight and talked to TV News Cameras... Sort of a "Lawyer's Technicality" to do a run around of election laws limiting a President to Eight Years.

Hillary Clinton MEME for Social Media satire, joke, silly, insult, GTFO, go home grandma!

We see in 2020 that ANOTHER CORPORATE STOOGE is leading the race... Sadly, Joe Biden has a History of BEING WRONG ON EVERY ISSUE for his entire LIFE! BUT, Credit Card Companies in Delaware Love Him... and are FUNDING HIM... I like Elizabeth Warren.

I did not Vote in 2016 and my absence did not make any difference at all... Hillary won all the Electoral College Votes in California. The Electoral College System in Insane and Was Intentionally Designed to be Corrupt. In the late 1700s our Founding Fathers wanted to KEEP Power in the hands of Rich White Men. They were afraid that poor people would select someone they didn't like to be President...

Hillary Clinton JOKE MEME - satire silly insult - 2016 campaign against her gvan42

Great Show: BOOK TV on CSPAN. Each Author gets to explain their ideas for a half an hour and that's enough to understand them. No need to read their books.

Here is an interesting Book: "God: a Human History" by Reza Aslan
https://www.c-span.org/video/?443471-15/god

He explains why Christians have created God in our own image... and why Muslims do not... They feel that God is UNLIMITED and if you paint a portrait of God you place LIMITS. That's why there are no Religious Paintings of God in the Islamic World...

Here is another Interesting Book:

"Rendezvous with Oblivion: Reports from a Sinking Society"

https://www.c-span.org/video/?447453-2/rendezvous-oblivion

Thomas Frank examined economic inequalities in cities across the country...

and how there will be fewer and fewer good jobs in the future. His example is newspaper reporters... while they personally are suffering loss of jobs they loudly trumpet the wonders of future work in the digital economy...

WHY? Because they are not in the business of telling the truth but they are in the business of telling what the boss wants to hear... and what advertisers want to hear...

Here is another Interesting Book:

"The End of Work"

Economist John Tamny offered his thoughts on America’s future job market.

NATO launches The News Hero Facebook game to counter Russia's info war... Hopefully it will teach people to not be so easily fooled...

https://www.facebook.com/thenewshero/
Click on the Above link to Play Now... The Game "TheNewsHero" asks you if a specific news story is TRUE or FAKE. You get a higher score if you publish TRUE News Stories. That's A great Idea and I wish Reality was like that... but It's not... In The Cable TV News business Hannity on Fox News has many viewers but is a Propaganda machine for Trump... Often BOGUS LIES designed to make tha #BOGUSPOTUS happy.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/nato-launches-news-hero-facebook-game-counter-russia-s-info-n895241 In order for Russian Propaganda to be truly effective it requires viewers that are gullible... Unfortunately, many people have already proved their tendency to swallow absurd lies... For example the Screaming Hate Freaks at Trump Campaign Rallies...

KEEP ABORTION LEGAL. I know a Woman that threw herself out of a speeding car and landed on her belly in order to Cause a Miscarriage... Really... At that time, Abortion was Illegal and She Really Didn't want to have that Baby... tRUMP IS ANTI-CHOICE.

To Republicans, Right and Wrong JUST DON'T MATTER. A Morality Free Life. My Mom taught me to Do Good and Avoid Evil. Well, Republicans don't do that.
