The Cult of Fools

Most humans, regardless of their beliefs or lack of any, are generally decent and honourable. Some abandon all that, toss empathy, integrity, and honesty under the bus and so they end up joining the Cult of Fools. It is almost impossible to distinguish satire from actual claims.

If only we lived in a time when the village idiot and the President were two different people … (sigh!).

We have reached a very decisive moment — Joe Walsh sums it up like this …

Here is a bit more clarity on this on why it matters (via Sen Chris Murphy) …

  • Abrego Garcia came to the U.S. over 10 years ago. He married a U.S. citizen and has three U.S. citizen children. But he put in removal proceedings because he didn’t apply for asylum in time and because of alleged ties to drug gangs. He denies any gang affiliation.
  • You can think whatever you want about the merits of him staying (his U.S. family, his steady job) or being deported (the alleged gang affiliation), there’s really only one key fact: A court ruled he CANNOT be deported to El Salvador bc he would face threat of death there.
  • In the United States, the executive is REQUIRED to follow a court ruling. Trump did not. He put Abrego Garcia on a plane to El Salvador. And worse, despite no allegation of criminal behavior, Abrego Garcia was put in a heinous El Salvador prison.
