Why do Americans put people with no morals or ethics in charge of important positions?

You would think the religious people would bulk up on this but they are weak and do the devil’s reckoning.

Most Americans' pretenses of morality and ethics are all talk.

When push comes to shove, self-interest wins out.

Yes, that's a harsh judgement/generalization, but I stand by it. We're a selfish species in general, and there are elements of modern American culture that reinforce that trait.

Are you referring to Lisa Cook? Reminds me of Letitia James.

The last president to balance the US budget had sex with an intern and lied about it.

That seemed like a good deal overall.

Sorry, I hope my comments are not too political. I think a balanced budget and cheating on your spouse are good ethical issues.

I don't like debt. I'm worried about the national debt. I would vote for another president who could give us a budget surplus, even if he promised to cheat on his wife.

I would have lied. Its none of the public’s business.

Had nothing to do with the Oval Orifice and the Constitutional duties of the Commander in Chief.

such individuals make others feel like their lack of morals and ethics are justified
