Filosofa Tries Not To Rant … Oops!

Filosofa's Word

I tried really hard last night to write a post that didn’t turn into a rant.  I failed.  The only news I read that didn’t evoke a rant, put me to sleep!  There’s just so darned much to rant about these days …


It appears that the inglorious Republican Party is determined to impeach President Biden.  It started the day after his inauguration when Margie Greene filed articles of impeachment against the President (before he had even settled in, let alone made any policy decisions) claiming that he had ‘abused’ his power.  Nobody took it seriously, knowing that Margie is a conspiracy theories, follower of QAnon, and not terribly intelligent.

The latest, though, really sent me into rant mode.  Senator Ted Cruz, also not terribly intelligent, has said that the Republican Party will impeach President Biden in 2023 if, in fact, they manage a majority in both chambers of Congress…

Governo Bolsonaro reforçou agricultura dependente de agrotóxicos com novo recorde de aprovações em 2021! — — Barbara Crane Navarro

Como já mostrado ao longo deste ano através das publicações do “Observatório dos Agrotóxicos”, o governo Bolsonaro quebrou um novo recorde de aprovações de agrotóxicos em 2021, tendo ultrapassado o total de 500 novas liberações.  E o pior é que dos agrotóxicos liberados até o início de dezembro, 94% (ou seja 470) eram de produtos […] […]
