We're going full Idiocracy, man

Never go full Idiocracy.

For instance, consulting with late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel on how Congress should handle a law affecting one-sixth of the U.S. economy.

Or propping up elitist celebs, whose "carbon footprint" is multiple times that of the average American, regarding their thoughts on "climate change". 

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio says history will judge President Trump harshly for his inaction on climate change.

Speaking Tuesday at a Yale University climate conference
(Where I'm sure Leo arrived by driving a Prius the 3,000 miles from his Hollywood abode - ed.), DiCaprio lashed out at Trump for pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord.

"We are going to look back at this point in history, and frankly this administration, and certain people are going to be vilified for not taking action,” he said, according to the Hartford Courant.

"We should not have people in office who do not believe in facts and truths and modern science that are able to manipulate and risk the entire future of this entire generation," he told former Secretary of State John Kerry.

Not have people in office who "do not believe in facts and truths and modern science?" Is that a litmus test Leo really wants to impose? I ask because I have a feeling that many of the elected officials who agree with Leo's perspective on climate change are also folks who believe that men can become pregnant and that there are more than two genders. Disqualifying potential candidacies of likely allies seems rather counterproductive to one's cause, no?

  1. In a sane world, people predicting doomsday 100 years from now and demanding we "repent" and change our ways would be bundled off to the funny farm. Instead, it is demanded of the sane and scientifically well-informed that we prove the negative of that proposition!
