In an ideal world the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

Donald Trump is illegally giving $1.7 billion of taxpayer money to his friends who assaulted Capitol Police and conspired to overturn an election.
No Congressional authorization. Just pure corruption.
Billions for slush funds and illegal wars, paid for with Medicaid cuts.
DOJ announces creation of a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by Biden administration. cnn.it/4deaJTq

JD Vance disappeared from here amid the Iran war because he couldn't defend his flip flopping. Then he briefly reemerged to attack Pope Leo and promote his new book about his fake Catholicism, which resulted in widespread condemnation from both the Church and the public, religious and secular. Then he went back into hiding and returned to his strategy of planting stories in the media about how he is secretly against the war in Iran, which he has continued to publicly defend. Generational loser and weasel. Peter Thiel had that guy's spine surgically removed in exchange for the millions he gave to Vance's Senate bid.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

I think we can just be blunt about this and acknowledge that Trump had to beg Pakistan *like a dog* to help him out of his jam. I take no pleasure in reporting this humiliating news about our president.
FT has confirmed what we all speculated from the “Draft for Pakistan PM” post.
The White House pushed Pakistan into brokering this “ceasefire” as Trump was desperate for an out.
Iran had to be dragged to the table, which is why their demands have not changed and why this peace will breakdown as neither want to budge on terms.
Trump is trying to negotiate as if he has leverage, and he doesn’t.
But his inability to cede points, means we’re not any closer to a resolve.

MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

The President must be removed.
If Congress is too cowardly to do it, his own Cabinet must.

Never want to hear yanks going on about 'checks and balances' or their stupid fucking Constitution ever again

Man. At its core, this administration is filled with losers. All of them are so fucking cringe. Fucking. Losers.

Truly shocking for the Secretary of Defense to trade fucking stocks and (attempt to) profit off of a war he helped start. Firing this drunk idiot is the bare minimum. @PeteHegseth should be prosecuted.
Pete Hegseth’s broker looked to buy defence fund before Iran attack ft.trib.al/DKXRnPP

MAGA is a death cult of illiterate, amoral cavemen, and as it disintegrates we must salt the earth so it can never rise again. its nihilistic heralds must be bullied and mocked out of polite society. they must be shamed into oblivion. this is the only way.

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war.
The stupidest war in history.

All out nuclear war. Donald Trump would push the button if he thought it would save him from prison. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it

The Trump FCC sees its job quite explicitly as the destruction of all opposition.
There’s no principle or virtue here. What’s being celebrated is the destruction of any liberal principle or shared value.
MAGA folks can say “well we kind of feel like you did this to us, or want to do this to us” but notice that’s not a principle. “We’re violating this rule bc we think you did” is the opposite of virtue. It’s a justification for why you can violate a virtue that you still believe should apply when the shoe is on the other foot.
Virtue signaling can be annoying. But it’s being replaced with the open celebration of vice and authoritarianism. Which is so much worse.
