So here we go again..

After instance after instance of sanctimonious finger wagging over questionable information, conjecture, opinion pieces, positing of allegations or investigations as evidence of guilt, we see the undoing of yet another previously praised pillar of truth in the ongoing toxic attack on those who still aim to maintain a sense of reason and due process, a sense of liberty and freedom, the valuing of that which allows humans to live the best lives of any humans historically..

We need to hold dear the standards which are universally applicable, and not just give in to allowing special treatment in cases where we identify an actor or a factor which appeals to or betrays our sensibilities. To hold have values means that they apply universally because the very fact that they are values of any worth makes their universal applicability self-evident. If they weren't to be applied universally, then they wouldn't be important values because you would be deciding and opining by virtue of other values which you hold more dear. Thus one must ask themselves, what are your values?

Do you pretend to comply with values simply in order to be politically salient? Are political salience and the potential for manipulation your highest values?

And, of course, the very fact that the case of Flynn has been overturned is evidence in and of itself of wrongdoing. What utter nonsense - you can be certain that those who come to this conclusion do so as a knee jerk reaction or on their first evidence of an opinion from someone of their like-tribe, leading the way and revealing to them that this opinion, an opinion which allows them to remain in their destructive stupor, is safe to adopt and propogate.

Utter nonsense.
