dog and pony show, smoke and mirrors, nothing to see here!! Like the "bread and circuses" It is very true. Anything to keep citizens from caring about the things that matter like individual rights and property ownership.
It really is all of a piece isn't it. The same inability to think rationally about objective law and what is right and what is wrong is also the reason a people can believe that creating money, i.e. real productive value, out of thin air to pay for myriad programs like social security and Medicare is a good and right thing to do. And we both know that these two things are just the tip of the iceberg. The same inability to think rationally is at the root of so, so many more possibly cataclysmic problems headed our way. As it has been for several decades now, the solution lies in a return to a culture of reason that is based on reality, i.e. objective facts. But more likely is, such a solution will only come, as it has to for all addicts, when we as a culture hit rock bottom. Unfortunately, this rock bottom may not be something we will be able to climb out of.
Character assassination of the former president voted in by 80 million working -class people is damaging to the greater message that the left is devastating to the world and morally wrong. Most readers will not even get to the meek point about debt or Medicare lol flipping the order might be more effective. Cheers!
The right is mostly morally wrong as well by the standard of respecting and protecting individual rights. And character assassination only applies when smearing good character traits, not pointing out factually bad character flaws, especially not in a person who may once again become the most powerful man in the world. Cheers!
Karma doesn't cut it in a court of law. Whatever you think of Trump (I hold him in low regard), this verdict was manufactured from start to finish. My reaction to this travesty is that I am surprised but not shocked. Thirty years ago, I WAS shocked at the OJ Simpson "innocent" verdict. That trial illustrated the deep, rationalistic thinking errors people are capable of when deeply emotionally attached to a prior position. In the OJ case, the prior bias was "racism!" In the Trump case, the prior bias is something like "Orange Man Bad!" In a better time and in a better America, objective reason usually triumphed over rationalistic bias. It was unlikely that a judge and all twelve jurors would blatantly disregard reason. A verdict like this one, or the OJ verdict, requires a massive thinking error by the judge, prosecutors, and jury. It indicates deep epistemological rot and is a sure sign of a diseased culture. I suspect it is the same type of thinking error that leads people to justify mass atrocity. I also suspect it is sweeping the Western world. I wish I understood how to defend my family against it.

YES, our nation deserves MUCH BETTER than Biden v Trump. And YES, entitlements are crushing this nation’s economy. KUDOS!
