Not everyone is driven by honor and justice.

Extremely few people are driven by honor and justice. And often those that now have that morality did not always have it. Everyone likes to believe they themselves are moral, even those who pad expense accounts, cheat on taxes, hire illegals, steal sodas from the defective soda machine, and other theft where they have no fear of consequences. If we had a moral public people like Biden would not make it out of a primary.

That's a very profound, and accurate observation. After reading it, I was reminded of this:
"Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?" - Proverbs 20:6 (KJV)

Over the years, I've known quite a few con artist types that are able to fool other people with their charming personalities. A mistake too often made is to judge people's character by mixing it with their personality traits. This is profoundly evident when it comes to politicians, who are typically masters at manipulating crowds of people by telling them what they want to hear. The same is true for 'religion,' where charlatans have a field day.

I never forgot Ronald Reagan's summation of the old Soviet Union when it came to treaties: "Trust, but verify." The same can be applied across the human board of experience whenever dealing with other human beings, regardless of the situation.

One of the biggest, ongoing cons that the media, justice system, etc. perpetrates is that judges are politically impartial and unbiased.

Huh? The whole battle over who gets to nominate judges is an immediate giveaway. If judges were impartial there won't be confirmation battles, borking, etc.

That is the same thing Israel’s government is fighting over right now. As it stands in Israel a panel of unelected officials appoints judges. At least in this country elected officials appoint judges. Some judges are even elected by popular vote such as the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Look, I'm going to be blunt.

If these judges can be threatened by cartels or whatever, we need to simply fucking kill them.

And there’s Special Agent Epps right back at it again.

Follow this advice and you deserve what you get. I hope the judge defends themselves against these threats of violence. Every judge could be compromised, wasn’t Roberts on Epstein Island? But you don’t fix the justice system by working outside the justice system. That is foolishness. You must either be a psychopath or a collaborator. You are playing right into their narrative, just like Epps.
