    I should also point out that when one does condemn everything, I have found that there is a tendency to be branded as a nihilist, and accused of supporting nothing, as though that is somehow unthinkable.

    So, on the one hand, if one doesn't condemn everything, one has no right to condemn anything. On the other, if one condemns everything one is accused of believing in nothing.

    Bollocks, I say!

    I would of course be happy to condemn Hillary Clinton for any manner of things. Allowing that jackass Donald Trump to be elected President by buying the Democrat nomination is fairly high on the list.

    I was only joking

          Google authors the algorithm. Saying Google “manupulates” the algorithm is like saying Hemingway “manipulates” the Old Man and the Sea.

              There is a "cult of personality" in the DPRK, where everyone praises the Premier Kim and his family.

              In the US, many people have a "cult of personality" and praises President Trump and his family.

              In the DPRK, most of the people are not true believers however. In the US, most of the people are.

              Not sure which is worse. 🤷

                  Everybody in the US loves Trump. It's very sad, I feel sorry for Americans.

                  Education is extremely important.

                    Ohio GOP censures ten House GOP Representatives who voted to impeach Trump over the Jan.6, 2021 incident, and also asks Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio to resign:

                      Kim and Don should do a cooking show together, now that the Two Fat Ladies are no more. They could ride around the countryside on a motorbike and side-car, visiting old country houses. I'd certainly pay to watch it.

                            Any cult of personality is bad. When a person becomes bigger than the policy's or issues, (almost) all the time, the result is not good.

                                  This one is happening in @Mik’s backyard.

                                  https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/24/jane-timken-trump-senate-490504
                                  — — — —
                                  During Jane Timken’s tenure as Ohio’s GOP chair, Donald Trump won the one-time bellwether state by a whopping 8 percentage points. She put 150,000 miles on her car driving to the state’s 88 counties as a surrogate for the president. And she raised a total of $5 million for his two campaigns.

                                  But that sterling record of MAGA support might not be enough to guarantee the former president’s support in her bid for the GOP Senate nomination. Timken’s sin? In her capacity as state party chair, she failed to immediately condemn home-state Republican congressman, Anthony Gonzalez, for voting to impeach Trump in response to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6.

                                  At the time, Timken said the congressman had a “rational reason why he voted that way. I think he’s an effective legislator, and he’s a very good person.”

                                  That statement is proving costly. In a Republican Party where a candidate’s viability is measured in degrees of fealty to the former president, the crowded field of primary opponents is insisting Timken has failed a key test.

                                  Days after entering the Senate race in February, Timken changed gears and called on Gonzalez to resign. But despite that — and despite calling both Trump impeachments a “sham” — Timken’s foes and two dozen conservative activists penned an open letter this weekend to the state Republican Party that called on primary voters to reject her candidacy.

                                    I thought Trump had faded away?

                                    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                      @jolly said in Whither the GOP post Trump 2020 election loss:

                                      I thought Trump had faded away?

                                      Except in the faithful who are afraid of him.

                                          Former GOP Speaker of the House Paul Ryan urges the GOP to reject Trump and his second-rate imitators.

                                          Emerging from two years of relative silence, former House Speaker Paul Ryan has joined the fight against Donald Trump, urging fellow conservatives to reject the former president’s divisive politics and those Republican leaders who emulate him.
                                          .
                                          Ryan made his remarks during a Thursday evening address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. He was critical of both Republicans and Democrats, though he saved his sharpest barbs for Trump, who is by most measures the leader of the modern-day Republican Party.
                                          .
                                          “It was horrifying to see a presidency come to such a dishonorable and disgraceful end,” Ryan said, referring to the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol that Trump inspired on Jan. 6.
                                          .
                                          “Once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads,” Ryan continued. “And here’s the reality that we have to face: If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence and mettle. They will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago.”
