“It is common for politicians obsessed with subjecting their fellow man to harsh moral rules to be the first to break them. And in the MAGA cult, it is also common for these hypocrites to not like to be called what they are. At least in public. Because in private they brag about it.”-PM

Ken-Dogger: Morning Cleo, what up?
Cleo: Looking up dangerous words…
KD: Really, what did you find?
C: Happened upon this one, FREEDOM…
KD: Oh yes, heard about it…
C: Is it the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint, or is it the power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity?
KD: It’s both, but seems it depends on where you live.
C: That’s why it’s dangerous, it’s not absolute.
