How about the cult of virtue signalers ? All talk and no walk.
I got chosen to lead my department a long time ago. I still have the congratulations card where they wrote, ânow you can get in there and get some of this fixedâ and, of course, it was much harder than it looked. First thereâs âitâs the way weâve always done thingsâ (the conservative position) and then there are the ones willing to change - but they all have different ideas how, and a lot of them are short sighted or impossible in the real world. And then thereâs the inertia of, once approved, getting a team of people to change what theyâre doing. Maybe even displacing them to another job as they become redundant. (After all, arenât you supposed to move to efficiency?) And then, frequently, perfect becomes the enemy of good enough.
Upshot: in the real world, itâs not virtue signaling; itâs having a worthy goal and slowly, even using switchbacks, trying to advance towards that goal - in the face of a lot of opposition who want things to stay the same or even go backwards. You know, when things were great.
Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, tried to claim Trump is taking "great pains" to comply with the gag order.
The Judge literally looked at Blanche in utter disbelief and then said "You're losing all credibility. I have to tell you right now, you're losing all credibility with the Court."
Now, I'm not a lawyer and I don't pretend to be one, but if you ARE a lawyer and the judge in your most important case says to you in PUBLIC "you're losing all credibility with the court," well, it seems to me that would be BAD, lawyering wise, and maybe you should think about a career in something else. Like dog walker or donut maker or just moving to a remote island without internet and spending the rest of your days eating raw coconut meat and thinking about your life choices.

I'm trying to figure out how Don Jr will turn the cult into a church after Sr dies
There is no reason why this shouldn't be on TV. Give people a chance to watch for themselves, and possibly decide not only guilt or innocence... but the sense of fairness delivered by the judge.
The reason it won't be on TV is that Trump is already an impossible defendant to manage. Wouldn't it be a zoo x100 if it was televised?
Well, weâre not the ones to judge the judgeâs fairness. And he doesnât need to glower and act up for the cameras. Assuming the judge is competent (and thereâs every indication he is) then the sausage is getting made and weâll just have to sit back a bit.
I do not doubt fairness...but having the video evidence helps to limit the daily BS that is going to come out of the defendant's mouth on his way home. Every day. In the end, it won't matter much... as the faithful will hear what they want regardless of the video evidence to the contrary.

Well, weâre not the ones to judge the judgeâs fairness. And the convicted sex offender, failed reality TV star, who bankrupted a casino and stashed government classified documents unguarded in his home toilet doesnât need to glower and act up for the cameras.

Fascinating. I always suspected there was a Messianic qulity to his appeal.
There's a lot of crazy out there.
