Donald Trump SEETHES with Anger as Mick Jagger Calls Out His Idiocy
And it begins with a striking homage to some of Sir's most stupid & ignorant word salads of misinformation and delusion
Rock n' roll legend and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger probably isn't the first rockstar you'd think would get political, but when it comes to Donald Trump and the threat he poses to the entire world, it makes a lot more sense why he felt he had to speak out. Rick Strom breaks it down.

The most-searched questions after the debate: what is fracking? what is a tariff? where is Camp David?
I can't even... #ignorance
Man Whose Job Never Involved the Use of Firearms Fired for not Knowing How to Use a Firearm.
A US Navy ship's captain was relieved of duty for not knowing how to use a rifle.
Those who fired this captain are the ones too stupid and ignorant to keep their jobs.
In my entire 6 years in the US Navy I never touched a firearm. Why would I? What do firearms have to do with standing watch in the engine room of a submarine?

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand
The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate, might be set forth as follows:
- Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
- Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
- Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
- When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavour to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
- Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
- Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
- Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
- Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
- Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
- Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a foolâs paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
âThe Best Answer to Fanaticism: Liberalism,â New York Times Magazine (1951-12-16)

It's disgusting to see how many so-called Palestinian supporters come to the defence of these racist neo-nazis online.
Nordic Resistance Movement, is an openly racist group who have turned refugee camps (sometimes with refugees inside) terrorized women with hijab. People of color, anyone with non-nordic looking face and specially Muslims, Jews and LGBTQ people.
It really hurts me to see such level of hate and ignorance among people who pretend to be against hate and discrimination.

Dear people of USA,
given https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population#/media/File:Countries_in_which_English_Language_is_a_Mandatory_or_an_Optional_Subject.svg
does it make sense to presume english speakers online are from USA?
Just sayin... because... we see that a lot. n_n

A quotation from Pratchett, Terry
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but itâs not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Equal Rites [Granny Weatherwax] (1987)

Science doesnât supply happiness; but neither does its lack. The same can be said of social utopias: they arenât created by science, but neither does lack of science provide them. Science has cast up dangerous and cruel knowledge, which has been exploited for warfare and dictatorial power; but so have cultures so little gifted with scientists that they either make do with imported weapons or rely on clubs, axes, and daggers. Scientific information about our mistakes â for instance, that deforestation invites mud slides and deserts, that overfishing depletes fish stocks â doesnât guarantee we will avoid such mistakes or correct them, but that is owing to failure to heed what science uncovers.
Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) American-Canadian journalist, author, urban theorist, activist
Dark Age Ahead, ch. 3 âScience Abandonedâ (2004)

We see that we have been thoughtless,
Straying from the path of #mindfulness.
We have stored up #afflictions and #ignorance,
Which have brought about so much #aversion and #sorrow.
There are times we have been weary of life
Because we are so full of #anxiety.
Because we do not understand others,
We are #angry and #resentful.
First we try to #reason with each other, then we #blame.
Every day the #suffering increases, making the rift greater.
There are days when we are unwilling to speak to each other,
Unwilling to look at each other in the face.
And we create internal formations, which last for a long time.
--- from the book Chanting from the Heart: Buddhist Ceremonies and Daily Practice
