Trump finally found a chess move to escape mate- and with it, the unveiling of the Epstein Files. And he has Mike Johnson, House Majority Speaker, to thank. On Thursday, the Republican leadership recessed earlier than planned, as health care prices are expected to soar by the end of the year, but most importantly, the Epstein Files are expected to be released to the public on Friday. And as Ellie Abraham of Indy 100 reveals in this article, this is raising some questions of why the Republicans are leaving town so early, but more importantly, if some of these representatives are in the Epstein Files and are protecting Trump.
It makes a person wonder…….
****************************
“The House Republicans have cancelled the Congressional session on the day the Epstein files are due to be released and everyone is saying the same thing.
Friday (19 December) is the deadline by which the Justice Department must release all unclassified Epstein files, by law. It is part of a new federal law that was passed by the House in November, following an almost unanimous vote, despite Donald Trump’s administration’s last-ditch efforts to prevent the vote from being able to take place.
According to CNN, there are more than 300 gigabytes of data held by the FBI, which include images, videos, audio recordings and written documents.
Rather conveniently, news emerged on Wednesday that House GOP leaders have brought the Christmas recess forward by a day, essentially cancelling the Congressional session due to be held on Friday, the day of the Epstein files release.
While there’s no evidence that suggests it is due to that reason, it didn’t stop people, including Democratic members, from speculating.
‘Like I said: view all political developments for the rest of the week in light of the fact that the Epstein Files are supposed to be released on Friday.
House Republicans just suddenly cancelled Congressional session Friday and are sending everyone home Thursday evening,’ AOC said.
Another pointed out: ‘Mike Johnson is sending members home on the day that the DOJ is required to give them the Epstein files.’
Someone who helped get the law passed wrote: ‘Epstein files released Friday because of my and [Thomas Massie’s] Epstein Transparency Act, and House cancels session that day.
Coincidence?’
One person asked: ‘Congress going home early, but why???? It’s like Republicans are trying to avoid something.'”

Rob Reiner is making the headlines but not in a good way. Not only was he and his wife murdered, but to make matters worse, Trump made claims that his death was in connection with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Normally when a person says that, he should be evicerated, losing his role as President but also his freedom for making a comment as degrading as it is. And rightfully so, for actions can influence other people, even kids.
And this is where this article by W.A. Lawrence of Glass Empires comes in. He looks at the definition of this word of the week, Amorality. Then connects it with the latest incident and its impact on American society as a whole, especially as it rewires the brains of many and adjusts how people interact with one another. After looking at the impact on the children for many are living in this era, W.A. looks at what comes next and what we can do to reintroduce decency and empathy in society, showing others that Trump’s actions are wrong on all accounts, both as written as well as unwritten laws.
This piece is worth the read. Feel free to comment:
Rob Reiner was murdered alongside his wife in their home Sunday; their son was arrested for the crime.
Within hours, Trump posted: Reiner died “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Delight arrived, the kind that signals belonging, that confirms membership in a shared moral universe. The truth is settled in unavoidable: this is training now, a culture organized around cruelty, mistaking that organization for strength.
Understanding Amorality
Use the word amoral precisely, not as insult. Amoral describes a condition where moral judgment no longer governs behavior. Actions get evaluated through utility, loyalty, power, and identity, not through obligation to truth, restraint, or human dignity.
The amoral person doesn’t ask if something violates conscience. They ask if it secures belonging, affirms hierarchy, protects status. This shift exposes the transformation.
Trump never appealed to conscience or integrity because both impose limits he could not survive. Conscience demands moral boundaries. Integrity requires self restraint. He bypassed them and went straight to grievance, resentment, insecurity, and unmet psychological need. He did not simply exploit those vulnerabilities; he conditioned people to live inside them. Degradation was reframed as empowerment. Humiliation became proof of loyalty. Dignity was exchanged for belonging, until self abasement felt like strength and moral collapse registered as identity secured.
Over time, this calcified into a moral system where cruelty became the organizing principle, regulating anxiety, enforcing hierarchy, and manufacturing cohesion without discipline, sacrifice, or growth, converting harm into social glue for people determined to evade responsibility, suppress shame, and remain untouched by self knowledge.
How Cruelty Became the Social Glue
This logic explains the grotesque reactions that surface with mechanical regularity, from sneering at John McCain even in death to the reflexive mockery surrounding Rob Reiner’s killing, responses forged through years of conditioning in which grief was treated as insubordination, respect as a threat to dominance, and empathy as a liability to power. Inside that system, basic human responses carried penalties, so followers learned to extinguish them preemptively, preserving hierarchy and belonging at the cost of moral reflex, until cruelty became the safest and most rewarded instinct left.
Belonging demanded the abandonment of ordinary human responses, a trade made willingly and repeated without regret.
Trump bound his followers through public rituals of degradation built on shared transgression, where laughter at suffering, applause for humiliation, and the defense of conduct that violated their own prior standards fused into a single act of belonging.
Each defense narrowed the exit and each excuse deepened the investment, until identity depended on protecting behavior that degraded the self and loyalty became inseparable from self-betrayal.
He used them as emotional shock absorbers, offloading aggression, failure, emptiness onto a base trained to absorb blame meant for him, while they received proximity to power as compensation.
He humiliated them openly while they scrambled to defend him, training them to mistake submission for loyalty and revealing how easily belonging could be purchased by surrendering judgment, self-respect, and basic intelligence.
What This Does to Children
The consequences surface most starkly in parenting, where moral failure stops being theoretical and becomes transmissible, embedding cruelty, obedience, and contempt intact into the next generation.
Adults who internalize humiliation from above transmit it downward, instructing children that power substitutes for responsibility, that fear maintains order, and that empathy invites punishment, while contempt is modeled as discipline and obedience is mistaken for character, producing children trained to perform loyalty rather than develop conscience.
Following Trump while raising children is moral negligence. It trains the next generation to associate leadership with cruelty, faith with domination, belonging with humiliation.
Parents who defend this behavior instruct children in a value system where conscience is disposable, where harm is functional. A lesson that reproduces moral collapse under the guise of authority.
Anyone who has watched a child flinch at a raised voice, or harden at a joke meant to humiliate, has already seen the future this ethic produces.
Mechanisms That Make It Livable
Moral disengagement keeps this system intact by teaching people to dismantle their own ethical brakes through justification, blame shifting, and warped language, until cruelty feels compulsory, mercy feels naïve, and victims are recast as liabilities rather than human beings.
Trump models this with calculated brutality, recasting failure as persecution and accountability as an act of aggression, then enforcing that lesson through punishment. He does not merely incite followers to attack critics; he sues them, bankrupts them, and turns the legal system into a weapon, teaching that anyone who attempts to restore moral limits will be financially, reputationally, and psychologically destroyed.
Independent judgment collapses into permission-seeking. Shame reverses direction, rewarding transgression.
Authoritarian submission stabilizes the structure. It anchors moral meaning to hierarchy rather than principle. A psychological orientation where obedience replaces ethical reasoning, where aggression directed downward affirms order.
Trump exploits this openly, recoding domination as legitimacy and cruelty as strength while dissent is punished through ridicule, exclusion, and public degradation. Followers are trained to align moral judgment with rank, to accept humiliation as proof of authority, and to treat restraint as betrayal, internalizing a system that rewards submission while systematically eroding self-respect.
Religion serves as cover, not correction. Scripture becomes prop, invoked selectively to sanctify domination while discarding humility, mercy, restraint, accountability, care for the vulnerable.
Christianity does not bless mockery, humiliation, cruelty. Selective quotation cannot convert contempt into righteousness. The text did not lose moral clarity. These followers abandoned scripture when it interfered with loyalty, revealing belief as identity armor.
Motivated reasoning fused with social identity ensures persistence. It protects belonging at the expense of truth. Because acknowledging manipulation would require admitting exploitation, abuse, self-betrayal. Threatening coherence, status, parental self-image simultaneously.
Followers resolve this pressure by denying harm, discrediting victims, attacking those who insist on accountability. They choose psychological survival over moral repair while deepening the condition that binds them.
Why Even MTG Called This Wrong
Trump wrote his post about Rob Reiner while the director’s children were identifying their parents’ bodies and while a son sat in jail accused of their murder, exploiting fresh human devastation as a prop for attention and dominance. When even Marjorie Taylor Greene calls it wrong, the signal is unmistakable: the floor has collapsed so completely that basic decency now registers as exceptional rather than expected.
Trump mocked a murdered man while his children found the body. If you can defend that, you can defend anything. That’s the point.
What Comes Next
Politeness toward people who defend cruelty now functions as moral laundering, not civility, because these individuals are neither confused nor unheard but fully visible and fully accountable for what they endorse. They chose domination over decency, loyalty over conscience, and abuse over accountability, and those choices disqualify them from social tolerance rather than entitle them to it. This is not a dispute over tone or ideology but a refusal to normalize cruelty, excuse moral collapse, or pretend that deliberate harm deserves patience, indulgence, or a seat at the table.
Refusing to name this behavior directly allows it to masquerade as belief. But it has become a sustained commitment to harm that gives up the right to social difference.
Society owes no respect to those who weaponize cruelty and then demand accommodation for the damage they inflict. Calling this behavior what it is forms moral responsibility exercised after restraint has already failed.
The damage did not stop at individual character but tore through the architecture of society as followers converted cruelty into loyalty and weaponized harm as social currency. Trust collapsed, shared judgment shattered, and the moral load bearing structures that once made disagreement survivable were stripped out by repeated choices to make injury consequence free. The collapse has already happened, and rebuilding will not come from civility theater or appeals to unity but from refusal, consequence, and the hard reimposition of moral limits that were deliberately abandoned.
Teaching children to admire cruelty and call it faith while elevating Trump as moral authority constitutes the deliberate eradication of conscience and a fundamental failure of parenting. These adults do not cultivate moral judgment but engineer submission, conditioning children to revere domination, internalize humiliation, and abandon ethical reasoning before it has the chance to form. Supporting Trump is not a passive preference but the damage itself, an active endorsement of degradation that dismantles moral limits and exports that harm outward into society. We must call this out every single time, without euphemism or restraint, because silence functions as permission and tolerance completes the injury.
No Bible can hide this fact: teaching children to admire cruelty and call it faith, while holding up Trump as moral authority, is conscience deliberately stripped away.

The Files will do a tribute to Rob Reiner between Christmas and New Year, thanking him for his work as an actor and film director. It will feature a mixture of film clips, quotes, and songs from movie soundtracks, all of which bear his name. Rob was a class in itself. Like his dad Carl, he was a comedian who was on Archie Bunker’s heels. But he was a teddy bear in real life, presenting heart-warming films that have become all-time greats in his 50+ year career. His loss touched us all, along with his wife’s. May his legacy live on and serve as a source of inspiration for many Rob’s who are starting their careers in filming and beyond.
Take care and rest easy, Meathead. ***************************
