There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

This is what you say when you’ve dedicated yourself to dismantling government and put humans in needless danger both before and after disaster. This is an immoral man parading as a righteous Christian.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

Sure, let's shout and scream over whether Joe Biden broke a norm by pardoning his son--yet stand by while a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist & depraved sociopath runs roughshod over our country, including choosing a heinous collection of corrupt, unfit extremists and sycophants for his cabinet.
