Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 21, 2022

Slavery is now immoral, so that’s changed.

Danae thinks just like TFG!

Unfortunately for her, Santa still uses the old system of defined GOOD or BAD with no in-between. I hope she likes her coal.

Fluidity flows downhill but liquidity trickles upward.

The same can be said for ex-presidents, too, I suppose…

“No indictment, no problem” The Wells Fargo business model.

Moral fluidity, That’s what we’re gonna call it?

If you believe there is no God, it is easy to believe/accept that there is no true good or bad (no universal right or wrong).

Modelled after a certain ex-pres, informally known as Buttercup, for his bright yellow crown.

Like the phrase fluid moral standards. It’s very flexible as one can substitute almost any term and make it work. Ethics anyone?

Translation: It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.

I don’t know if she’s on the nice list or naughty list, but I’ll bet she’s on the watch list.

Translation: It’s OK if a Democrat does it…

Second panel- that’s how we went from the worst the left could throw at a soldier, “baby killer” to the left championing killing babies.

The number of GQP trolls crawling out from under their rocks is impressive today. Almost like the number of cases TFG and his family are losing and indicative of the number of them who bought full sets of trading cards to go along with their TrumpU diplomas

Danae needs to hook up with Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes.

“He knows if you’ve been bad or good” could now be updated to “He knows where you are in the spectrum.”

There’s a reason my Officers used to tell me “Don’t let me catch you doing that again.” I didn’t let them “catch me” the next time. Lesson learned.

Far too many people seem to honestly believe that lately, kinda makes this a little less humorous…

Man, if that isn’t the greatest comment about today’s world

Moral Relativism: the foundational hallmark of Leftist Ideology

So not good Danae. (Danea, ae??)

She has a great future in politics or prostitution. The same thing, actually.

All standards are fluid now, moral, gender, intelligence, health and business

Sort of gives a twisted meaning to "fifty shades of “moral” grays".

Today, it’s only wrong if you are caught AND prosecuted

Careful Danae!!! You don’t want to get Krampus after you…

Back in the 70s, it was called “situational ethics”. It took me a while to figure out what that meant. It means the opposite of “character”.

Morality is the belief that some behavior is right and acceptable and that other behavior is wrong. In a society or any group, it is the set of principles used to define the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. The concept of morality is pretty essential for human civilization. It keeps society from falling apart. Morality is used to define what is good and what is bad — it sets the thresholds on social values and is used to calibrate human suffering, resolve conflicts of interest, assign praise and blame and punish the guilty.

But morality and particularly its concepts for good and bad are established by the society/culture/group involved and those are generally determined by ‘what works’. And ‘what works’ changes, depending on circumstances. There are probably more than 50 shades of ‘circumstances’. Cannibalism is considered immoral most places and most times, but there are some times and places in which it was considered proper and religiously necessary. Murder vs justifiable homicide. Stealing someone’s land vs settling the West.

I thought that was politics

Wouldn’t it be easier to just change the morality of the things on the list? That’s what some world leaders do.

I love you Danae

And even if you get caught, it was a witch hunt.

How did Danae turn out so bad? Her father, grandmother and sister all seem like decent people.

A letter to your descendants in 2122:

“In response to your application to display the image of your ancestor in the National Portrait Gallery, you must know that we have very high standards for who can be honored this way. While we appreciate that your ancestor cured cancer; negotiated a lasting peace in the Middle East; discovered anti-gravity; and won the Nobel Prize, 7 Oscars, 2 Pulitzer Prizes, and the Fields Medal, we must balance that against other aspects of per’s life, and here we are horrified.

“Per was known to wear leather, eat meat, and consume dairy products forcibly extracted from captive bovine Americans. Per not only condoned the auto-torture of neckties and high heels but actively engaged in them. Per consigned wood and petroleum to the flames. Per treated the forerunners of our cybercitizens as if they were mere tools, to be used and discarded. Per supported the sugar trade. Per performed ritual cannibalism at ‘religious’ services. Per engaged in ‘marriage’ to a single other person at a time. Per regularly used sexisms like ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘man’, and ‘woman’. (Pardon our coarseness, but we must face the ugly reality.) Per consumed paper. Paper!

“Worse, on multiple occasions per deplored violence in all its forms rather than proudly promoting good violence. Worst of all, per stood for vulgar democracy instead of the benign rule of our wise Council of Elder Philosophers.

“Since it is universally recognized that the entire measure of a person’s character is the worst thing that per has ever done, you will understand why your ancestor will never be the 3rd image in our Gallery.”

In politics the “old saying” is “INDICTMENTS? GOOD! MY BASE WILL BELIEVE I’M BEING UNFAIRLY ATTACKED AND SEND ME MONEY!”

It’s not as succinct but is probably more true – these days.

And a referral to indict?

Kids got a future with the Trump organization.

In a closed society where everyone is guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only sin is stupidity. -HST

As I’ve heard – “11th Commandment: Thou shalt not be found out”. Not that I believe that, myself, just sayin’.

Thank you t****
