It’s historic for all the wrong reasons. He really is a felon, and yet many knowingly voted for the guy who is officially a convicted crook, and who this past week was sentenced …

We all already knew he was a felon before the election. The vote does not change his “felon” status in any way. Instead it tells us just how morally bankrupt many are, and that includes the 81% of evangelicals who supported him.

What are Democrats, the courts, and the Justice Dept going to do to stop Trump and hold him accountable?

We’re gonna call him a felon!

Ok, but what restrictions or penalties or consequences will he face?

We called him a felon. Didn’t you hear us. He is a felon.

But what will that do?

FELON!

… and so there basically is the problem. He is not being held accountable for his criminal actions. For the very first time in history a person was convicted of 34 felonies and there were no consequences.

So much for the party of law and order.

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.
