Trump made a good point about pope leo. Its one things for a figure head like the pope to in a general sense be against war. But theres a time for war and a time for passivity. As trump said, is it really fitting for the vicar of christ to be in support of allowing a country like iran to eventually have nukes? Theres something to be said about lofty pie in the sky rhetoric about how war is not ideal, but i think leo needs to know his role and tone down casting pearls at someone like trump who is simply trying to keep the world safe


You think the Pope should defer to Donald Trump's superior moral judgement?


That makes sense, I mean, Trump has a Bible named after him, the Pope doesn't,

He [Trump] shares your values

The hell he does! Nope. You don't know me at all. I'm not a billionaire, I don't like FL or NYC, I don't chase skirts but one, and that one has come home with me for the last 53 years of nights in a row, I am LDS; he's not, He's of German descent, and I'm not, He's a builder, I don't [thgough I do invest in real estate]. I'm an artist, I don't see that he is, He likes gold fillgree; I detest it [though I do invest in gold]. He has airplane money [buys them], and I don't. But, we both appreciate America.


LOL, apparently, you don't even know what values are (Trump doesn't either, so there's that.).


What Sarge said was "[Trump] shares your values", he was talking about moral and ethical things like racism, authoritarianism, dishonesty, xenophobia, you know, the value laden things you share with Trump.

I think this feature should either be removed or there should at least be an option to make the likes and the button invisible.


Maybe balance it out with a "Don't Like" button too.


The button I really wish we had would be a "F--k You" button, there are a lot of posts and posters that we need that button for.

I hope Iran assassinates your envoys.


Vance would be a good start and then follow up with a terrorist attack on the Mar-a-Lago golf course, if these guys are behind so much terrrism, getting a fat guy waddling around on the fairway should be easy peasy.


Wait til after the mid-terms, do a twofer and viola, Hakeem Jeffries is president.


That works.


Plus we'd get to see Fauxlaw spontaneously combust.

My first Job out of college was in the trading department of a bank, a senior trader there was a woman that looked pregnant to me, I asked her when she was due and... oh crap, she wasn't pregnant, just had a beer belly. If looks could kill she would have vaporized me, I had to work with her for two years and the relationship never got much better.


I never made that mistake again; I don't care if a woman is in labor in a maternity ward, I do not assume she's pregnant till she actually tells me she is...even then I'm careful.

I just think it's funny Iran's getting leveled again cause they refused to deal with neighbors.


Let's see, for this negotiation to be successful Iran needs to become the only country in the world that trusts Donald Trump.


I hope they don't look at history to see that everybody that has ever Trusted Donald Trump got totally fucked over.

The post Trump put on Truth Social last night sure did sound like a Genghis Khan post:


"“All U.S. Ships, Aircraft, and Military Personnel, with additional Ammunition, Weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy, will remain in place in, and around, Iran, until such time as the REAL AGREEMENT reached is fully complied with, then the ‘Shootin’ Starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before.”


The conclusion of his online statement really stood out as very Genghis Khanish.


“[O]ur great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest,”


Trump cried like a baby when they wouldn't give him the Nobel Peace Prize, now he looks forward to his next military Conquest.

Iran has no nukes though...Just like Iraq had no nukes.


Well yeah, that's because President Obama negotiated a nuclear deal with Iran to permanently keep them from nuclear weapons in 2015 called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), but Donald Trump cried about it for years because it costs us $1.7 billion dollars and nobody had to die, and so Trump cancelled the deal in 2018 because Obama was black. As a result, Trump had to attack Iran and "totally obliterate" their nuclear capability "permanently" in 2025, which cost us over $20 billion, then Trump attacked Iran again eight months later to "totally obliterate" their nuclear capability "permanently" again, this time it costs us over $30 billion so far, plus around a billion $ a day going forward.


Financially, it turns out the original $1.7 billion price tag on the JCPOA deal was a bargain; it's just too bad Obama is black.


Trump thinks the $50+ billion price tag is a better deal because he is white, and he gets to kill people that aren't white.


I know it's confusing, but I assure you, it all makes perfect MAGA sense.

Trump advisors: Heil Trump, Supreme Commander, the Epstein fiasco distraction war has been a disaster, and now Melania is denying Epstein was her pimp and demanding full disclosure on Epsteingate, the base is getting harder to control, what should we do?


Trump: C'mon guys, you know my base, there's still the one thing that will make them all forget about everything else, no matter how fucked up we make everything else.


Advisors: What can we do Herr Trump, your holiness, what can we do?


Trump: It's simple really, Just go after a black guy, any black guy will do, the loyal base will have their Pavlovian response and will go get back spitting venom and demanding more violence. Launch the woke bombs, target the trailer parks and the green teeth militias, don't worry, we will get through this.

Maybe the Pope secretly wants Iran to erase Israel. That thins the competition.
The collection baskets are growing!


There are fewer than 16 million Jews, and around 2 billion Muslims, I'm pretty sure Islam is the bigger competitor.


Of course, as far as the collection plate goes, Israel has sand, Iran has sand and oil...Islam still wins.



Sidewalker

Imagine how insane you have to be to think you can threaten the Pope to come out in favor of war and genocide, I suppose a few dozen missiles into the Vatican will get them to reconsider.


Threatening the Pope didn't work, maybe the Pentagon can threaten Melania next.


They started the war to distract from Epsteingate, and the war is going so badly, they now want to use Epsteingate to distract from the war.





Sidewalker

I'd personally like to welcome two of our newer members to the resistance ranks of protestors, yes, congratulations go to Melania Trump and Pope Leo who have joined us.


Melania has joined us in demanding full disclosure on the Epstein cover up, and Pope Leo has joined us in protesting Trumps Wars and politics of violence. Special shout out to the Pope for standing firm even after the Pentagon threatened him, consequently, going forward, Pope Leo, the first American Pope, will not set foot in the United States as long as Donald Trump is President.


You just can't make this stuff up, (maybe Fellini could, but he is comfortable with surrealism).


What do you all think of these recent developments?

There's a school bombing trophy?


No, but maybe you get a Nobel Peace Prize if you can make a whole civilization die in one night, killing the school children is just icing on the cake.

Pretty sure the Shiite Muslims in Iran can reach Vatican City with their Ballistic Missles. We should actually hand over some 90% Uranium, let them blow up both the Vatican and Israel.

There can be only one world religion.

Pope Leo XIV added “Let those who have weapons lay them down!”


“Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace!” Leo said. “Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them! We are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent. Indifferent to the deaths of thousands of people.”


“What a great thirst for death, for killing, we witness each day in the many conflicts raging in different parts of the world.”


President Donald Trump, in a social media post added:


"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran," and adding, "Open the F***in' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!"


Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked God to give U.S. troops attacking Iran “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”

While 'marine' is semantically associated with the sea, the marines' role are not on the sea but on the ground. They use the sea, or even the air, as a path to reach their objective. So, the marines sent to Iran are for taking over a territory (or an Island as it seems to be in this case).


OK, in practice, and especially in the middle east right now, I'll give you that.


This explanation is also for @fauxlaw.


Good luck with that. I'm pretty sure you'd have a better chance of explaining chess to your cat, than explaining anything to Fauxlaw.


If they actually take the Island, this thing will escalate to biblical proportions.


If you want to predict it, watch for Trump to have Dr. Oz diagnose bone spurs in Barron Trump, when that happens, you will know it's gonna blow up big time.

You are why Trump says he “loves the poorly educated”, you just don’t know what you are talking about, and that is why the Republicans have invented this campaign issue for gullible people like you who readily believe lies and conspiracy theories because it's easier than trying to comprehend the real issues. The article you searched out is from 2022, gender reassignment surgery and other gender-affirming medical care (such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy) have been illegal for minors in Florida since they passed Senate Bill 254 in 2023. Even with a Google search to justify your bigotry, you came up with nothing. Try again.


Nice moving of the goalposts. Yes, it's illegal.


I'm not moving the goal post, I said it's illegal and it's illegal, I never said it wasn't happening three years ago, I said it isn't happening now. You moved the goalpost back to three years ago because that's the best your Google Scholarship could do. But hey, no facts, no problem for MAGA minions, who needs facts when you have lies and conspiracy theories.


So is murder. So is theft. So is fraud. They all still happen. And politicians successfully campaign all the time on stopping them from happening. Because, surprise, making things illegal does not make them stop happening. Resources have to be allocated to enforcement. Knowing how often illegal things happen, to whom, and where is also a logistical challenge for governments.


LOL, I see, so when these Republicans campaign by saying they will stop it if elected, if they aren’t talking about the law, how are they personally going to stop it, will they wear a cape when they fly around stopping it?


If you had read the article I posted, instead of going down your beep-boop decision tree of 'Trump Bad' talking points, you might have noticed this line:


I read the article you posted, it’s about top surgery which is breast reduction or removal, it’s a stretch to call that gender reassignment if that's all she was doing. But if that’s all you could find to justify your hatred, then that’s all you need, congratulations, your bigotry is officially justified.


'A recent article in The New York Times indicated Dr. Gallagher provides "top surgeries," or a procedure in which a child's breasts are removed, to multiple trans youth around the age of 15 every month, despite it being a clear violation of state health department guidelines where she practices.'


Yes, back in 2022, before it was a felony, she was violating state “health department guidelines”, you know, before it was outlawed in 2023, back in 2022, she was not following "guidelines". Back then she was risking fines, and perhaps sanctions to her license, but that is nothing resembling proof that it is still occurring. Rather than proclaim that to be a timeless truth, you should be able to Google search to find a record of her trial and imprisonment for breaking the law. Did you check with Alex Jones or David Icke, I’m sure they can give you what you need.


While all such care for minors was outlawed in 2023, even in 2022 performing such surgeries on children that young was not permitted by the state health department and yet it was still happening. And it likely was not showing up in officially reported statistics, as when you repeatedly break state health guidelines you tend to find a way to not report that.


Ah yes, it’s the good old vast conspiracy again, and funded by George Soros of course, if we can fake a moon landing, fake a spherical Earth, the shapeshifting, middle Earth dwelling Democrats can certainly hide all those gender changes in toddlers, easy peasy.


Hence why the article is a perfect counter to your dumb claim that this 'isn't an issue' simply because a law was passed and the official numbers show that everything is fine. Murder has been outlawed since Hammurabi, and it's still an issue.


LOL, that desperate huh, no matter how much you count on your Google scholarship, you still couldn’t find any evidence contradicting my OP. you know, today, here in the real world. I get it, your mind is made up and you don’t want to be bothered with the facts, that’s a good little MAGA minion.


Codifying Roe v. Wade. As in making it law. Are you really so fantastically illiterate when it comes to political history and general current events that you don't know that this has been an important policy debate for years now? Roe was always seen as legally unstable and vulnerable to being overturned (RBG famously said of it that "doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped, experience teaches, may prove unstable"), so abortion rights activists have sought to have it pushed through Congress and passed officially into law multiple times. The WHPA was first introduced in 2013. These attempts have always conveniently failed, often by very slim margins. This is a persistent pattern with Democratic promises, leading activists on the left to cynically wonder the status quo is being kept in place by both sides of the political aisle to avoid confronting the growing contradictions between the influence of K-street and the policies which the public want implemented. Whether politicians intentionally tread water on policy to avoid having to choose between their financial sponsors and their constituents, always finding a convenient scapegoat to explain why they were 'just one vote short!' every time.


I’m fully aware that Roe v Wade resulted in a legal quagmire for the next 50 years, it was driven by sheeple that buy the outrage your millionaire handlers are selling. And as you know, even though Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022, the Boogieman is still eating babies, BOO!


Keep arguing with this imaginary yokel friend that you've dreamed up.


You are the only yokel I'm arguing with, and it's against Mark Twain's warning too:


"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience," i- Mark Twain.

.

I'm sure debating is much easier when every argument is with the same strawman that lives in your head - less stress, less strain to just endlessly regurgitate the same canned lines every time.


Just so you know, I’m a 33rd degree Mason, which as you well know, means I can have our mind control ray guns aimed at you any time I want, and you can’t wear your tin foil hat forever, so be careful what you say. I assure you, you don’t want us to turn you into a drag queen, and even worse, you don’t want to be zapped by our Jewish Space Lasers either. BOO!


Bwahahahaha.

The claim that it doesn't happen is flat-out untrue. One Florida surgeon brags about performing double mastectomies on girls as young as 13, claiming to do an average of one surgery on a 15-year-old a month. And who knows how many are quietly doing it if you can openly brag about it in a Republican state?

https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/miami-surgeon-performs-top-surgery-for-15-year-old-transgender-kids-report-says

In the end its a two way street. The Republicans use these wedge topics because they are 80/20 topics that the Democrats are ideologically captured on and are stuck taking the 20% stance.


No. Republicans use this wedge topic because they have a base that loves to see them paint the “others” of their “us/them” thinking whether the accusations are true or not.


The Democrats could take both these issues off the table tomorrow by passing national legislation that would throw such surgeons in jail and formalizing nationwide bans on transgender athletes in sports. They could even extract concessions to do so. They won't, because they are captured by an ideologically rabid segment of their base.


My OP was factual, it’s a made up issue, and Republicans are the Majority in the House and Senate, so it’s the Republicans who could take the issue off the table tomorrow, they don’t because they are the ones who invented it so they can make gullible people like you blame the Democrats for it, It’s like the “War on Christmas”, just a made up issue to paint Democrats with. The Republican party counts on the “poorly educated” to fall for these distractions because, as Trump said, “smart people” don’t like him, so they rely on the dumb people. I think MAGA actually means “Morons Are Governing America”.


Conversely, Republicans have little incentive to actually fix the issue, as it's an effective way to posture and drum up support that doesn't aggravate their donors by hitting their bottom line like actual reform would.


Yes, that’s exactly what is, “an effective way to posture and drum up support”, it’s also a distraction from the real issues because they have jacked up almost all of the real issues, that’s why they make these things up. The Republican party is the party of anger, they aren’t providing solutions to real problems, they and their Fox News propaganda machine are selling outrage to naïve fools who are way too easy to upset with lies. The Boogieman is eating the cats and dogs, BOO! The Boogieman has declared war on Christmas, BOO! The Boogieman is changing children’s genders, BOO! It’s almost too easy.


There is big money in selling outrage to the suckers, and your handlers, people like Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and all the other grifters getting rich of your outrage are laughing at you all the way to the bank. Your handlers are making millions and millions fleecing the patsies, damn, I wish I had the moral bankruptcy to fleece you guys, it is so easy, and so profitable, but unfortunately, I have a fucking conscience damn it.


In this way its like a mirror image of abortion, where the Republicans are captured by an out-of-step portion of their base and too extreme on the issue and the Democrats milked the issue politically for years without actually doing anything to address it, despite ample opportunities to codify Roe v. Wade.


WTF are you talking about? Roe v Wade stood for 50 years, it protected a woman’s 14th Amendment's right to privacy, giving a pregnant person the liberty to choose to terminate a pregnancy, the Democrats didn’t have anything to “milk”. It’s the Republicans who milked it by making it a source of outrage for their suckers for those 50 years. The Boogieman kills babies, BOO!


Why solve an issue when you can fundraise and campaign on it?


Because it's better to invent an issue "you can fundraise and campaign on"


I'm from Georgia, the home of Marjorie Taylor Green, do you know what statement resulted in the biggest fundraiser for her was? It was her claim that the California wildfires were caused by Jewish Space Lasers, when you clowns heard that, you took out the checkbook LOL.


You guys just make it too fucking easy to be sleazy, damn that conscience.

You don't need marines to protect the Strait. Marines are meant to fight on the ground, not on the sea.


Egads man, go look up the definition of the word marine, it is "of, found in, or produced by the sea." The US Marines primarily function as an amphibious force-in-readiness, providing a rapid-response combat force for maritime and expeditionary warfare. OORAH!


It's those punk ass Army guys that are "meant to fight on the ground, not on the sea."
