On Platforms & Megaphones

 


Glenn Reynold's column at the New York Post yesterday, entitled "Team Biden’s refusal to admit we’re in a recession is just another reason Americans don’t trust our institution" concluded with the quote below containing an essential truth in regard to trust and a question in need of an answer.  

"The way you earn trust is to tell people the truth, do the things you promise to do and admit when you’re wrong and do better next time. Lying to people, breaking promises and redefining terms to escape accountability may seem slick to political operatives, but this behavior gets noticed.

Can our nation flourish when most people think it’s basically a big organized-crime operation? I doubt it very much. But who will make our leaders do better?"

Someone willing to address our current situation, involving a hullaballoo, a mashed potato, two shimmy shakers, the MSM twist and the ongoing locomotion of the runaway train, is sorely needed.  With a second question to follow the first:  How and where do we start?   

ADDED: More from ampersand, creatively dancing to his own music with "Presstitutes":

We've been here before. Think the Gilded Age ending with Teapot Dome and the Palmer Raids.

You go back to the Constitution and throw the bums out. The Demos suddenly want term limits for SCROTUS. The old Greek proverb looms large.
