“Moral decoupling” is a cognitive process that can explain why some people continue to support leaders in politics, media and sports even when they believe these leaders have significant moral failings outside of their professional vocation

It can’t apply to democrats because they have no morals to decouple from.

I’m not “morally decoupling” you gaslighting retard.

He was unjustly tried, the court subverted justice, MASSIVELY, and the jury didn’t even know what they were finding him guilty of as the Judge refused a proper defense of the case.

This article could have been written by a couple of “freepers” that I know, who believe without evidence that President Trump “had a fair trial” in front of the DNC cartel stooge “Wetback Cur” Merchan.

Hmmm...

"Why do many Americans continue to support Trump Biden? And are there psychological reasons that explain why people remain supportive of politicians Democrats despite their moral or political failings?

“Moral decoupling” is a cognitive process that can explain why some people continue to support leaders in politics, media and sports even when they believe these leaders have significant moral failings outside of their professional vocation.

Moral decoupling is the ability to separate one’s judgments of a person’s Biden's moral character from their judgments of that person’s Biden's performance or abilities in public office. In simpler terms, it’s the mental process of saying: “I don’t agree with their actions, but I still think they’re effective at their job.”

The only ones with “moral decoupling” are the RATs who change the rules and the laws to go after their political enemies. When the rules and laws they changed come back to bite one of their own in the a$$, they cry foul, claiming the rule or law is unfair, and that it needs to be changed.

And speaking of “moral decoupling”, I myself would give serious thought to checking Eugene’s and Ali’s basements for missing children and missing young women...

If this judge acted this way trying a black crack dealer the Commies would be outraged.

Love how he brings Bernie! into the discussion. He’s much more moral than everyone else because he “strives for systematic change.” Well Bernie! hasn’t been very effective in over 40 yrs in Congress, but bless his heart, he’s still trying…as long as that hefty salary keeps coming in. 🤣

Apparently they cheated the process to get the same hanging judge. They must have cheated to get a hanging jury as well. The truth will come out eventually but not before the election.

doubt if one in a hundred know or care about the following!

30 March 2022: Politico: Federal campaign watchdog fines DNC, Clinton campaign over dossier spending disclosure
The conciliation agreements found “probable cause to believe” that both the campaign and national party “misreport[ed] the purpose of certain disbursements.”
By ZACH MONTELLARO; Josh Gerstein contributed to this report.
The Federal Election Commission has agreed to a fine of over $100,000 against the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign over an investigation into alleged misreporting of spending related to the now-infamous Steele dossier...

The DNC will pay $105,000 and the Clinton campaign $8,000...

Daniel Wessel, a DNC spokesperson, said in a statement that “we settled aging and silly complaints from the 2016 election about ‘purpose descriptions’ in our FEC report,” while a spokesperson for Clinton’s office did not respond to a request for comment...

The civil penalty appears to relate to highly technical rules about how campaign spending through an intermediary should be reported, and not to delve into issues around the legality (or veracity) of the dossier. In a letter addressing one of the complaints, the commission said it dismissed allegations against Marc Elias — who was then an attorney at Perkins Coie and is now the namesake of his own firm — and the law firm itself, Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele himself, and other allegations against the DNC over impermissible contributions from foreign nationals...
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated lawyer Graham Wilson’s law firm. The former Perkins Coie attorney now works for Elias Law Group.

24 May: JustTheNews: While Trump faces felony charges, NY-based Clinton campaign only faced fines for its records issue
Selective Prosecution? Following the 2016 election, the FEC determined the Clinton campaign incorrectly recorded opposition research as legal expenses, but was only hit with an administrative fine
By Steven Richards
The payments in question were sent to powerhouse law firm Perkins Coie to pay for the opposition research that ultimately produced the discredited Steele Dossier which sparked the Russian collusion investigation into Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign. Instead of classifying them as for opposition research, the Clinton campaign labeled the expenses “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting.”

Records from OpenCorporates and the New York Department of State show the Clinton campaign—called HFACC, Inc. or Hillary for America—was registered in 2015 in the state of New York and operates out of an office in the Financial District, which is in Alvin Bragg’s district, theoretically making the campaign subject to the same state laws as Donald Trump...

Trump is our last bulwark before a communist takeover. There is no moral confusion.
