George Will: A Sickening Moral Slum of an Administration

In the Before Times, George Will was the dean of conservative letters, so attention ought to be paid to his latest column ...

"... a sickening moral slum of an administration"

What happens when you have the most Billionaires ever in your Cabinet.

What's sad is that this is what about 33% of population want.

What does that say about how trashy and immoral they are?

Throughout my life, I have been through many many rural towns that are run down as hell. Rebel flags flying, MAGA signs, etc..in front of very nasty homes occupied by folks who couldn't care less what it looks like.

I've been in urban areas afflicted with some horrible blight. No desire to clean anything up, or show any pride in where they live. Absolutely dismal and hopeless.

Trashy and immoral are pretty good descriptions of it all.

But what I'm seeing isn't based on a vote they cast...but rather a compilation of dozens and dozens of very bad life decisions.

Now, I realize you're focused on a group of folks based entirely on who they voted for....and calling them trashy and immoral for a vote.

I see trashy and immoral differently........it's not a label based on a single vote that I disagree with....but rather on a lifetime spent on very bad choices.

#4 Which, in the case of certain MAGAts that you identified, a lifetime spent on very bad choices continues unabated with their choice to support of Trump.

Rwing Populists and Lwing Populists mostly agree way more than half of the time on what are most of the country's problems, and most often who's to blame for them, the Elites.

What they disagree on is how to fix them.

Real problem is that both have already had their vote countered by the Elites who have purchased the People's politicians to write laws such as CU, and many others now, for them.

Libs want Laws that constrain the Elite, rwingers (not conservatives any longer) listen to the Elite/Media when told the problems are really mostly outsiders, foreigners, other countries, but not the Elite.

Which is not believable at this point

"the People's politicians to write laws such as CU"

really?

CU allowed the writing of laws paid for in bribes, er, donations from Elitists, which is why I said many other (laws).

What laws? What laws (meaning legislation) were passed after the CU decision?

Didn't CU open the floodgates all by itself?

It overturned parts of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 and the 2002 Supreme Court ruling in Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, which had banned corporations and unions from using their own money for independent political expenditures.

This decision allows corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts on political ads and other communications.

Which allowed the Elite to fund media ads for politicians who would then write laws that benefit the Elite. I would spell this out for you in Braille if I thought it would help.

George Will? That is a name I have not heard in a long time. A long time.

Good to see he's still opining on politics.

Hard to believe you have the courage to keep showing your ignorance.

You truly don't know jack shit about this.
