On policy he ended up being better than I thought he'd be in his first term. It was obvious, even in 2020, thst Biden was in cognitive decline. Add in his promise to open the border bialy (and he did just that) I held my nose and voted for Trump in 2020. In 24 Dems hoisted Kamala Harris on us, enough said.

So you're a two timing traitor to the United States of America. That's good to know Jeff.

He's definitely not the first person to be called the anti christ...
He's the only person who matches ALL of the biblical descriptions perfectly... some of which I linked for you in #34. You know, the ones you neither read nor watched.
Same to you, Sitzbath... none of those match all the descriptions.
- I'm going to assume it's not.
It's a cool video... happy now?
Although, that's not your original question at all.

Like Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well nothing will be done.

Oh good grief. More of corky

Traditionally, the simple solution was just not to actually go to war with Iran."
Solution?
Has there ever really been a solution?
Have those "traditional solutions" actually fixed anything or just delayed the problem?
Trump needs to stop playing games with them.

Oh please. Iran isn't the threat that you claim it is. What are you?? Fraidy cat??

It's only a matter of time before mail-in ballots are not allowed for federal elections.
Who will be butt hurt then?

Not a chance. Too many red states will lose votes if that occurs.

Donner,
From the comfort of your home.
Sort of like mail-in ballots you don't have to go in person.

That's because it was a good representation of a typical suburban family.

Yayyyyyyyyyy good to hear that dear.

How many times have I said mixing religion and politics is not a good idea?
I didn't like it when Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority did it, and I don't like it now.
I don't like seeing anyone, left or right, using the Bible to push political positions.
Now we're seeing where this leads. There are already reports of a bomb threat against Pope Leo's brother in Illinois. Nothing was found, but now he has to live looking over his shoulder.
That's exactly what happens when religious authority steps into political fights. It draws attention from bad players.
It wasn't a good idea for the Pope to step into this.
But here's my question. Where was this level of moral clarity from the Pope in the media when Iran was killing protesters?

Do kndly STFU BillJohnson. You bought a Bible that mixed politics with religion,

Who bloody cares.

What if disarming Iran prevents a much larger loss of life?
Iran has already shown what it's willing to do, even to its own people.
This isn't about reacting after the damage is done. It's about preventing it before it reaches that point.
That kind of foresight is always a hard sell.

Corporations are not people slick. They don't have first amendment rights. We the people do however. Do keep up.

Redial,
I don't agree with you that Trump is only seeking things in his own interest.
Iran has been a boiling pot for decades just waiting to boil over.
We've all known it and some even have tried to address it but efforts to deal with it have fallen short.
I can't speak for Trump's motives but I agree with the direction he is going attempting to extinguish the source of the fire.

You're so hopeless you know that?? Iran isn't the problem that you make it out to be BillJohnson.

Here's the question we should be discussing.
Is the Pope's emphasis on moral ideals helpful or unrealistic when applied to real-world policy decisions?

(ROLLS EYES)

Yeah, but, if I may add, why does not Pres Trump espouse similar disdain for Pres Putin?
I mean, really, why go after the Pope with acerbic comments?

Posted by LampLighter at 2026-04-14 12:34 AM | Reply

Because Putin owns him. Lock stock and freaking barrel. That's why.

I am a Protestant, not a Roman Catholic.
The Pope is revered by many Christians.
To others, including me, he is the head of the Catholic Church, not a leader of Protestants.
His views may matter to Catholics, but they don't carry any special authority for me.

He's also the head of state for the smallest country in the world. Vatican City.

If I were Iran I'd tell Trump to pound sand.

Corky,
Trump wants its rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Donald Trump Freedom Passage.

Posted by BillJohnson at 2026-04-12 08:50 PM | Reply

Hahahahaha that's hilarious BillJohnson.

No, the Strait of Hormuz is not international waters; it consists entirely of the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. The Strait is 21 nautical miles wide, allowing both nations to claim 12 nautical miles of territorial sea. However, it is an international strait used for navigation, allowing vessels the right of "transit passage" under international law.
EJIL: Talk!
EJIL: Talk!

Key Details on the Status of the Strait:
Sovereignty: Iran and Oman claim 12 nautical miles each, causing their territorial waters to overlap.
Transit Passage: Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), ships and aircraft have the right to continuous and expeditious passage through the Strait.
Operational Reality: While Iran has threatened to charge tolls or block the strait, this violates international norms of free transit.
Geographical Limitation: The shipping lane used by tankers is only about two miles wide.

Although neither Iran nor the United States has ratified UNCLOS, both have traditionally followed its norms regarding transit passage, despite legal dispute
