I do not believe the President’s sex life is any of our business. After thirty years of political reporting, I have been unable to establish a link between marital fidelity and high performance in public office. It really doesn’t matter who they screw in private, as long as they don’t screw the public.
Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

#UK’s #election shows the flaws & strengths of democracy
"results in particular provide a resounding reminder of e need for #modesty in #publicoffice, w #Starmer declaring UK had “voted decisively for change, for national renewal & a return of #politics to #publicservice”. Their reminder is tt, whether a #democracy or not good #governance isn't guaranteed.. Often it isn't the political architecture tt determines good governance, but the #integrity of the people tt govern"

In saner times, being a #convicted #Felon, encouraging #Americans to inject themselves with #bleach to fight #Covid19, and refusing to accept the #results of an #election they #lost, fair and square, would deem a #candidate #unfit for #publicoffice.

The goal for this year is not to focus on removing #conservative from public office; that is a negative goal.
The goal is to get #progressives into #publicOffice.
Each #candidate can self-select which group they want to be in. The selection is based on their history, actions, and deeds. Their words and statement only serve as a 1st impression.
I ask everyone around the world to take this step.

#Mindful that #HMGovernment in #TheFormerUnitedKingdom is #UnhappySharing #BoJoBaggins' #WhatsAppHistory with the #JudicialInquiry into #Malfeasance and #Corruption in #PublicOffice... #AndAllThat...
But #WhatsTheConcern? That:
A) #BoJo might have #InadvertentlyRevealed his hitherto #UndisclosedQuantity of #BastardChildren?
Or... That:
B) His #ImaginaryInexhaustibleLasers are #TooMuch for #KimJongUn's #RocketProgramme?
