it's true that the honour system only works when there's honour in the people in charge.

when a clown moves into a palace, the clown doesn't become the king - the palace becomes a circus.

Haven't we already learned that gaslighting the public is counterproductive?

President Obama sold himself as a Constitutional scholar who would set right the civil liberties overreach of his predecessor.

You aren't going to convince sane people that his executive branch agencies sought to gut the fourth amendment without his being aware of it, despite months of extensive press coverage.

  • "the other side is just as bad" isn't the justification that a lot of people seem to think it is. if you don't like what the other side has done, don't just copy them. do better.

    • It's simpler. If you claim that a particular action would be bad if the other political team were to perform it, don't suddenly make excuses for that very same action if it turns out that your favored political team has previously performed it.
