    There is no way this is correct bar it's an accounting cheat to fund off the books back ops or the secret Stargate program etc.

    The cheap seats are being patronised but they just want to feel good with a little glanding of dopamine.

    How? By not doing anything you're a part of. God hates hypocrisy, and those who practice it.

    Yes, and Ricter provided an example, though it was an example of everything being frozen, not a program that was cut. You've still not, though. All you're doing is being hysterical, because you were called out.

    Again, "musktard" didn't close the whole agency, because "musktard" can't close any agency.

    Trump put a halt on the spending until more clarity on what was being spent could be found - which is precisely what you do in an audit when you determine that there is potential fraud, you put a stop on everything until you can sort it out. The fact that it was sorted out in two days was rather spectacular.

    So...wanna take a stab at providing one program that was canceled that you would not have canceled? Third (or maybe fourth) time I've asked. Or do you just wanna be a drama queen here?

    While I don't agree that 60 minutes folks should be jailed, this is no different than the so-called "Russian collusion" that you guys all went with when Hillary lost, and you were all calling for arrests and jailing. You want some links?

    No links, thanks—Mueller was right. Want some links?

    God invented hypocrisy.so...

    I expect hypocrisy serves as both a social lubricant and a necessary cognitive shortcut. It lets people hold themselves to high moral standards while still functioning in a world where perfect consistency is impossible.

    At a societal level, hypocrisy can reinforce norms, people publicly uphold values they privately break, but this still helps maintain collective moral expectations. Without this, we likely slide into total relativism, where no one even pretends to care about right and wrong.

    At an individual level, hypocrisy often signals internal conflict rather than outright deception. It shows that people at least recognise the right thing, even if they fail to live up to it. That’s arguably better than someone with no moral framework at all.

    So maybe God did invent it, in a way. As humans developed to balance competing interests, then hypocrisy may have become an inescapable feature of intelligence itself.

  9. John Stewart agrees with me.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/a...ti-trump-insult-sick-liberals-lost-power.html

    Jon Stewart reveals the anti-Trump insult he's sick of liberals using and warns it has lost its power

    Jon Stewart says he's bored of anti-Trump Democrats calling the president a 'fascist' and says the word is being overused to the point where it's losing its meaning.

    Mueller was right about what? Sure, links please.

    All I said is you had people on the left calling for arrests from Russian collusion and election interference, the same as Musk is doing now. I admit that Musk shouldn't be saying this. Why is it so hard for you to also admit the left shouldn't have said it back then? Are you that partisan?
