And I said, “Don’t look, Donald!”
But it was too late. He’d already been mooned.

I was prepped to jump on this What An Idiot bandwagon when I finally watched the video footage. He looked up for a split second. He seems to be doing it for a photo op, and it sets a bad example. However, I think just about everyone has given the sun that briefest of glances.
I was so armed for the bandwagon too.
Watching the sun change like Miss Universe!
etc.

For like 10,000+ days of my life I didn’t kill anyone, the cops are just cherry picking the one day I did.

Frankly, I thought the fact that he HAD the glasses but he took them off and looked anyway makes it worse.

As long as it’s limited to the anti-AGW crowd, it might help the rest of us survive. Culling the herd as it were; y’know, like Pasteur did with the silkworms.

I fear Trump fails at even that, as he often flails around, doing multiple things that are all wrong. More than that, Trump usually falls into the category of “not even wrong.” Trump doesn’t come to the wrong decision in the same way as the British conservatives, for example, who make use of bad instincts (which he does share) and bad ideology (Trump doesn’t have an ideology), but because he literally doesn’t even know what the problem is. He’s so disconnected from the real world and the complexity of real issues, and so impervious to being educated, he operates entirely from a simplified world model that he apparently put together in the '80s (so it’s also woefully out of date), and then applies his bad instincts. For any issues that are more recent than the '80s, and where Obama didn’t have an opinion he could do the opposite of, Trump’s bad instincts are applied to a gross misunderstanding of something some random person said or he heard on cable TV (which might even have been a commercial). Trump campaigned heavily against the TPP, which he said was a bad trade deal with China. Problem is, the TPP was not actually a trade with China; China wasn’t part of it at all, which was the whole point. That’s pretty typical of him.

Yes - a little OT but I’ve been thinking about this recently. It seems like we’ve turned into such a “spectator society.” Spectator sports, (watching other people play) reality TV (watching other people live), now even spectator video gaming and the glut of opinion-driven talking-head style shows… As a society, we no longer want to even read/hear/learn the facts and spend time thinking about them to form an opinion, we want someone else to tell us what to think. Beyond being a huge bummer when trying to have interesting, solutions-oriented, candid conversations about real issues, I think it’s going to cause the country to implode.
