In a surreal twist, it seems some of our top officials and their legal teams have redefined what it means to uphold the constitution.
Consider this scene: public officials, sworn to protect the rule of law, sidestepping something as quaint as an oath to tell the truth in a congressional hearing. After all, why bother with such archaic rituals when you have the power to reinterpret honesty at your convenience? “Like employer, like employee,” they say—and they’re taking that seriously. What could be more efficient than a legal team that skips those pesky legal formalities, fully embracing the flexibility of selective truth-telling? This way, everyone from the top down is free to redefine accountability, adapting it to fit their needs.
It’s a masterclass in government: say one thing, do another, and watch the constitution contort to fit the whims of the day. Ah, modern governance at its finest.
Senator Migz Zubiri’s warm embrace of Donald Trump’s re-election bid is, in his own words, a “return to conservatism” — if conservatism means supporting politicians with rap sheets that rival their résumés.
The senator’s enthusiasm is remarkable; after all, what better way to demonstrate his commitment to “values” than by cheering on a former president still navigating multiple court cases? Zubiri seems to believe in second, third, and fourth chances — as long as they’re for friends in high places. His glowing endorsement of Trump and the principle of letting convicted felons run for office hints at his loyalty to a certain brand of politics: one where reputation doesn’t matter, as long as you have name recognition.
By linking Trump’s “return” to the power of redemption, Zubiri conveniently sets the stage for those with questionable pasts to see politics as their true calling.
