The moral high ground is a luxury one can only have when it’s safe enough to waste time on achieving same.
When we are under threat, as we are, we can’t waste time on establishing rules because the enemy will never honour them. While we try to achieve perfection, they will never falter or stay their hand because they have no morals. Being nice to them costs lives, they must be destroyed utterly.
After that, we can go back to being high and mighty.
Stephen A. Smith seemed skeptical when President Trump started listing the policies his administration delivered for black Americans.
So Trump pulled out a LIST and started rattling off his accomplishments one by one.
LOL.
Smith sat there listening, and the expression on his face was that of someone who was genuinely impressed.
TRUMP: “I have a list of things that I wrote here...”
SMITH: “Read the list!”
TRUMP: “I’ll read the whole thing!”
“The Trump administration awarded a record one-time investment of $438 million to historically black colleges and universities that were ready to go bankrupt...”
Trump kept going, listing accomplishment after accomplishment for several more minutes.
Smith sat there listening.
By the end, he didn't have much to say.
