Nothing matters. [View all]

Lying. Cheating. Stealing. Shooting churches full of people. Genocide. Bribery. Collusion with an enemy. Suppressing voters. Helping the super-rich get richer. Polluting air and water.

The list goes on and on. Forever. And no crime is too heinous that its commission cannot be defended.

It is reductio ad absurdum time in America.
