Only in TrumpWorld, where Jeffy is VP of Propaganda.

"The face recognition and CCTV cameras that are used to catch criminals can be used for social control and surveillance.

In England at the moment, there are more closed circuit TV cameras than in the whole of North America.

China is putting 600 million CCTV cameras into its country this year and
they are developing social control. It's already operating in 13 cities.

And the
basic idea, they will probably modify it a little, is that each citizen is given 300 points. And people are tracked.

They're observed. And if they're seen buying something that the authorities think might be a waste of time or going to a questionable place, they lose points.

And then they begin to discover that their credit card won't be accepted or that they can't get onto a train or they can't go to their favorite restaurant or they do things that are regarded as good and their point score goes up and they may be able to buy a new car and there's been a time argument a Time article about it that's makes really scary reading.

It's saying it's setting the stage for the most thorough form of surveillance the world has ever seen. This point system in China is welcomed by people.

The amazing thing is they think it's marvelous and they go around saying to people to their friends, "I've pushed my points up by 50.
How are you doing?"

that's from the reasonably short thread video, here's the Time article with a full description of the Surveillance and Point system.

No way... 1Nut swears that CA is beneath Mississippi in value investments.

- "Why does being transgender bother anyone?"

Fear... of, 'the Other'. And a Judgement of them based upon that fear.

A sort of self-righteousness that doesn't even require a religious belief.

Will they be reading from over-priced Chinese-made bible with Trump's name on the front?

Will BJ tell Donald to, 'stay in his lane'.

These and other searing questions will be answered in the next Episode of, Pope Trump Rides Again!

Yep.... it's kinda sorta like the guy who created the very first, and hopefully only ever, 'Office of Faith' inside the WH center of Gov telling the Pope to stay in his lane.

Theatre of the Absurd.

Vlad is the BIG Winner in all this... his rejuvenated energy sales have sparked new attacks on Ukraine just when he was losing steam.

Agent Krasnov indeed.

Trump's lawyers are in talks with Trump's Gov lawyers?

This should werk out well for the People!

"I'm not a Catholic. I went to Catholic school, but I can understand, you know, Catholics in, in America but around the world being very offended by how the
president has talked about the Pope, talked to the Pope, um, put images of himself as a pope.

And then just one other thing, the vice president of the United States. converted to Catholicism 9 years ago.

For him to tell the vicar of Christ, who's been a priest for 34 years that he needs to be careful about how he talks about theology is one of the most insulting things I, I think I could have possibly ever hear being said to the pontiff, but too, from the vice president of the United States.

All of this is is maddening and surreal."

"David, what about you? Trump saying that Iran has agreed to everything in the talks. Do you buy that?

Uh no, that's not credible. I mean, the Iranians are more likely to convert to Christianity."

- Really, I'm not giving it a second thought.

That WOULD be difficult, not having had a first one.

Trump fit's every biblical description of the AC, the Man of Sin. Dozens of them.

Whether he is or not, matching those descriptions perfectly make him one evil POS.

"Iran's enriched uranium is not going to be transferred anywhere; transferring uranium to the United States has not been an option for us," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said during an interview with Iranian state media.

Trump earlier told Reuters that Iran's "nuclear dust" would be retrieved "very soon."

"We're going to get it together. We're going to go in with Iran, at a nice leisurely pace, and go down and start excavating with big machinery... We'll bring it back to the United States," Trump added."

Trump lies? Say it ain't so!

"He didn't have dementia during the last term," he continued. "He didn't have dementia during the campaign. He is a workaholic. He only sleeps two, three hours. He does get burnout sometimes. We all do. Slurs his words. All that. But he wasn't showing signs of insanity. He is showing major flickers of that, like a light bulb is about to go out. It kind of burns brighter and then dims.

He's gotten very ... very erratic. Five or six times a day changing the story. We won the war. It's over. Regime change happened. I'll blow them off the map. I don't need the Strait of Hormuz. You better open that ---- strait. That is not Art of the Deal.'

"That is things just disintegrating."

Theatre of the Absurd.

Especially when there's for the first (and hopefully last) time ever a Faith Office in the WH, an Office established by the President!

These jokes just write themselves.

- use any means to take out Trump

Especially using the Law, which is TOTALLY unfair!

Any President should be able to Rig the Election the way Trump's own DOJ testified under Oath that he tried to do.... right, FishforBrains??

"Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?

'Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed

Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door?
Because the truth, it's hard to swallow, that's what the wall of love is for"

- The men who were raised on those values here are the ones CONSTANTLY talking about men's penises and women with penises.

Same guys who are caught toe-tapping in public restrooms, fondling their wrestling students, beating their wives, and raping 13 year olds of both sexes.

"A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2308)," Bishop Massa said.

"That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said:

He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.'"

"When Pope Leo speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church," Bishop Massa continued, "he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ."

"The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars," Bishop Massa said."

Tom Holland's ancient scholarship on Greco-Roman history prepared him to understand Christianity as a Movement:

"Ironically, Stormer's book and the movement it ignited within the GOP is largely responsible for that party today standing on the precipice of fully endorsing fascism as an alternative to democracy in the US.

And it was started by morbidly rich men (it was all men back then) who wanted to use the threat of a "communist menace" to gut the union movement to increase their own corporate profits and CEO pay."
