Joe Ferguson forever

just cannot tell the truth. he still thinks it's funny. I don't mind him B word slapping Dolan but not the entire religion https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5283405-trump-ai-pope-image-catholics-conclave-vatican/

Many of the rulings against trump are from judges he appointed. Ya know, like SCOTUS.

you're as much of a comic book character as these fools. They aren't elected officials. They aren't he president of the US. They have a first amendment right to protest just like the KKK and other white supremacist groups. We don't have to like or respect them.

Kamala's positions were much more aligned with Pope Francis than yours or trump's...

it was funny on SNL years ago. In this context, not funny.

A composite image he shared on Truth Social of himself in papal vestments was surely meant to infuriate critics his acolytes could then mock as lacking a sense of humor — a familiar MAGA strategy. But the image, an offensive one to Roman Catholics, who view the pope as the guardian of the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, is a knowing nod to Trump’s claims of infallibility. It was also shared on the White House’s X account — thereby becoming one of the most extraordinary official documents ever issued by the United States government. And Trump’s plan for a major military parade to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday in June may be another sign he’s adopting dictator kitsch. The event is likely to draw scrutiny beyond the cost of moving tons of expensive troop formations and aircraft at a time when the administration is gutting the federal government to save money. Trump has wanted such a spectacle since attending a Bastille Day on France’s national day in his first term. But this parade is expected to take place on the commander in chief’s birthday in June. Monarchs have military pageants for their birthdays, but modern US presidents have tended to shun such displays of personal adulation that blur the notion that troops in a republic serve the people and not an omnipotent ruler. The US has also felt no need to boast of its power at the kind of propaganda jamborees preferred by the leaders of the former Soviet Union and North Korea. But Trump said on NBC, “We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world.” He added, “We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we’re going to celebrate it.” This was characteristic of a growing administration trope — to imply that those who are queasy at such displays of presidential power are unpatriotic, hostile to the military or humorless. This allows it to dismiss any concerns over Trump’s incessant grasping for every symbol of sovereignty. and the dolts smile and admire him...

except I don't believe he fears God or believes in him. The bible is just another profitable widget to him. His mockery of Christianity extends to fundamentalists https://www.newsweek.com/anthony-scaramucci-says-report-trump-mocked-conservative-religious-leaders-true-1535021

American culture has remained a valuable assert for decades. Others wanted to be us and imitate us largely due to images they witnessed in movies. He single handedly crashed the value of it and now wants to crush it with a movie tariff war. We finally agree. This is a very bad idea.

Nah, Buffet reminded me yesterday that if a 15% loss bothers you, you’re in the wrong game. Then he said trade should not be used as a weapon. Pretty smart for a 94 yo billionaire.

Sounds like you blame the lockdowns for your biz failure or was it the WEF?

I mostly agree with your posts on this topic but Catholics believe in the real presence. Was at a first communion yesterday. Beautiful ceremony in a great parish. It’s a big deal to most of us. Non Catholics were/are excluded from communion at such ceremonies because many don’t believe or are unaware. It was explained very respectfully by the presiding priest. They are offered blessings instead. no idea where blitz finds his creepy memes. He seems to like the dark corners of the internet.

Yeah, but he wants to decide for us! We should all sacrifice even if we disagree. But, we should never agree to be immunized for the common good. Freedom!!!

First, let’s establish that WEF does not support the quote you posted nor is it representative of the beliefs of most attendees there. You were being disingenuous and then criticized me for not being in on your persecution syndrome. I have in laws in Lugano on the Swiss side. Less crowded the Cuomo but I think they’re looking to sell.

Well, I’ve skied in Davos. People there own plenty. made me look. Another far right conspiracy. I have no desire to keep up with those. From wiki: The WEF clarified that it has no stated goal to have individuals "own nothing and be happy", and that its Agenda 2030 framework includes individual ownership and control over private property.[7] it was one author’s article that was meant to be thought provoking. Big deal. Trump spoke at WEF this year. They gave him more than equal time to spout his nonsense

Link? Making shite up isn’t arguing

This pic didn’t come out of the White House. Obama wouldn’t be so stupid, disrespectful and sacrilegious. See the difference?

Maybe you should read what a couple actual conclave attendees thought about his stunt. Fake outrage? it has raised eyebrows on social media and drawn criticism, including from cardinals who are in Rome for conclave next week. “Not funny, Sir,” the 66-year-old Filipino Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David wrote in a post on Facebook. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, was also critical when questioned by journalists ahead of delivering a Mass in Rome on Sunday. Asked whether he was offended by the image, Cardinal Dolan – who Trump hinted he favors for the next pope - replied, “Well, it wasn’t good.” and Dolan is a trumper embarrassment.

Your family will have less but it will be more expensive! https://archive.is/W4xe1

You said you don’t care for it but then said we shouldn’t get sidetracked by his dog and pony show. Trouble is, these despicable acts are an integral part of his presidency. He’s preaching to the choir so that he can gain more and more unchallenged power. He’s deflecting. And it’s working. By not calling him out, you’re empowering him. And I suspect you’re fine with that. Are you one of the 20 some percent of Americans who approve of totalitarianism? No doubt, some here are.

False choice. Compromise is the opposite of the dualism you suggest. Either/or is easy to imagine but rarely reality. The best solutions often reside in gray areas. MAGAs avoid those areas. Deep thoughts hurt their heads or are simply impossible for them. Is it utopian to expect the president of the US to respect one of the country’s largest religions or to at least not mock it?

This perhaps the most insightful post I’ve read here. It almost makes it worth it to wade through all the shite.

This is a foundational maga tenet: hurting others is more important than improving one’s own situation. Many seem to have given up on being better people. Cheering on a crude bully is where they find satisfaction all the while pretending they’re Christian. Such a sad, pathetic existence…

No idea what your point is about nuns. Some of the best people I’ve ever met and I never saw a nun “troll” anyone. It’s not acceptable from anyone and especially not a president. Removing the religious context, it’s not something a decent, much less a good, person does. It’s even a pejorative term in this cesspool. Why is it not for a president? MAGA = unprincipled moron.

Not up to me but I certainly hope not. That would turn Christianity upside down. It may spur on trump bible sales among his cult, however.

bs. "trolling" the pope and Catholics immediately after his death is inexcusable and evil. "feeding" means nothing to him except for his need for the admiration of his twisted cult; people that post about Catholicism being the world's largest cabal, for example. When they tell you who they are, listen to them. you follow some really scuzzy x accounts. tells us a great deal about you. dank knight from Tenn writes almost as well as albwan. some powerful intellects...and why the acronyms? just plainly type what you mean. are you afraid that your true beliefs are unpalatable to even the radicals here?
