#depravity

' #Zelenskyy courage, clarity and moral probity holds up a mirror where #Trump can't hide from his own #depravity .'

James O'Brien thinks Trump hates Zelenskyy because ' #bigots hate nobody more than the mirror holders,' and when 'he's reminded of what he truly is, the mask slips.'

A quotation from Joubert

It is not the desire for true riches that depraves man, but the desire for those that are false. A people never became corrupted for having grain, fruits, a pure air, better waters, more perfect arts, but for having gold, jewelry, subjects, power, a false renown, and an unjust superiority.
 
[Ce n’est pas le désir des vrais biens qui déprave l’homme, mais le désir de ceux qui sont faux. Jamais un peuple ne s’est corrompu, pour avoir du blé, des fruits, un air pur, des eaux meilleures, des arts plus parfaits, des femmes plus belles; mais pour avoir de l’or, des pierreries, des sujets, de la puissance, un faux renom et une injuste supériorité.]

Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 16 “Des Mœurs publiques et privées; du Caractère des Nations [On Morality and the Character of Nations],” ¶ 39 (1850 ed.) [tr. Calvert (1866), ch. 12]

lucid.substack.com/p/we-are-li Republicans may feel empowered right now, but there will be a reckoning as Americans come to understand the scale of Republican sabotage of the country. Lately I have been returning to a 2016 Atlantic essay in which I warned that the GOP was setting itself on a path of self-destruction in supporting Trump

"This administration is profoundly evil; profoundly evil in ways that are difficult for Americans to comprehend. We have reached a stage of illegality, immorality, and depravity in a federal administration that no one could have ever thought possible."
—George Conway

Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time. They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world.

The movie lays bare #TFG's criminality, deceitfulness, racism, amorality...

The Trump “origin story” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 20, & quickly proved to be a bit of a hot potato. Snyder, the pro-Trump billionaire whose Kinematics co put up equity for the film against domestic rights, reportedly was displeased with the film’s depiction of him & sought to block its release; & TFG's campaign issued legal threats to potential distributors.

What #Israel is doing to the people of #Palestine has gone so far beyond mere #genocide that we don’t even have words to describe the utter #depravity and #barbarity with which Israeli Fascism is prosecuting its campaign of complete, total #annihilation.

I despair of the possibility that we will likely ever see the war criminals of Israel prosecuted for what they have done and what they are continuing to do with impunity.

Every day, I have to remind myself that collective punishment is wrong.

Trump's golf courses in New Jersey could be going dry.

The state’s attorney general is weighing whether to pull Trump’s liquor licenses after he was found guilty by a jury of 34 felony counts, Forbes reported Monday.

Per the report: “Trump is the sole owner of three golf courses in New Jersey that have active liquor licenses, according to the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
👉New Jersey law prohibits issuing a liquor license to anyone who has been convicted of a crime
🔥 ‘involving moral turpitude.’ 🔥
A state handbook explains that those sorts of crimes typically involve ‘#dishonesty, #fraud or #depravity’ severe enough to typically be punishable by more than a year in prison.”

A quotation from Cicero, Marcus Tullius:

«
What pleasures habitual wrongdoing provides for men without principle or sense of shame, when they have escaped punishment and found themselves given a free hand!

[O consuetudo peccandi, quantam habes iucunditatem improbis et audacibus, cum poena afuit et licentia consecuta est!]
