“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.
That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

Some thoughts on how the right got to this dreadful moment. The fish rots from the head.
"A movement, especially one that verges on an outright cult of personality, is defined by its leader, not by its rank and file. And when the leader is lawless and depraved, then efforts to contain his influence while preserving his power are doomed to fail." nytimes.com/2025/11/09/opini…

Pope Leo keeps returning to a powerful theme: there’s no split between the public and private self. The Christian life must be integrated.
You can’t be ruthless in business or politics, then step into church and call it faith. Integrity means being whole.
The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"
