Once again the Catholic Church will face a dilemma at the upcoming conclave. Keep heading in a direction of compassion and tolerance laid out by Pope Francis or hit the brakes with a conservative' new Pope.

If they appoint a conservative expect membership to continue to decline. Francis breated new life into the Catholic Church.

Jesus or Torquemada. Those are the choices.

Trump sure uses DJT stock as a piggy bank.

When everything else in the market (including it) is cratering buyers magically appear to prop up this worthless stock which doesn't even have a P/E ration because it has NEGATIVE earnings (losses after losses).

He just called again.

All I could do was reiterate how inept, incompetent, and self-serving Trump is, to the detriment of Americans.

Kristi Noem's bag $3k cash, keys, passport, DHS badge stolen

And the vial of powder from ground-up puppies she sprinkles on every meal ...

I got completely out of the market right soon after election day 2024 and went to all cash, invested in fixed income assets.

A financial advisor from Edward Jones - who's been trying to get my wife and I to put our considerable assets in his hands - called again just Friday.

When he'd tried to reel us in last fall, I told him we'd have to see how the election turns out. That I didn't trust Trump as a caretaker of America's economy.

When he called last Friday, I reminded him of our conversation last fall when I told him I expected markets to tumble and economy to suffer because Trump's a willfully uninformed/unconcerned-about-anyone-but-himself caretaker.

The Edward Jones rep is now personally feeling the negative economic impact of Trump's actions.

And all of this to "Pay For" (LOL!) massive tax cuts for corporations and America's wealthiest who benefit the most ... by far.

He mostly lived in Missouri.

Take away the beard, lighten the skin, and drop some weight and he's YOU, BOAZ.

As people watch their 401k and retirement accounts plummet, and see the coming inflation from Trump's stupid tariff war and self-inflicted wounds to our economy, watch his approval ratings plummet too.

We're only beginning to feel the effects of his massive tax increase on every American from his tariffs. Much pain is coming.

Not to mention China just cut the U.S. off from their 90% share of rare earth metals needed for all electronics.

US rate of child gun deaths based on population is 10x MORE than Canada's

There's no way to justify America having 10x Canada's rate of child gun deaths. Or for any other demographic.

I've always said Trump will end up going down as one of the most reviled public figures in American history.

PS - my wife and I got our MMR vaccination a couple of weeks ago, the logical, smart thing to do.

Measles have also arrived in my ruby red state

All of this caused by one man: Donald Trump

"Yer doin' a heck of a job, Donnie" (ruining America's economy)

RIP to a compassionate man who followed the actual teachings of Christ to help the poor and downtrodden per the Beatitudes and Matthew 25:31-47

I'd rather have their figures than ours

Futures are down again indicating another losing day on Wall Street.

It's simple, really. A matter of commonsense. You just don't understand because you're tds moron.
You with the other 21% of the tds morons stay out of the way while the adults clean up the horrific mess that you've made.

It's a simple matter of wanting America to be a country that abides by the rule of law. Otherwise, we become a banana republic.

BTW, Trump FUBAR'd the most sweeping bipartisan immigration reform bill in decades. It would have fixed a LOT of problems.

Nothing. Bargatze is witty and funny without the need to drop f bombs all the time like some comedians rely on.

My problem with how this was carried out is it was done while giving the finger to the rule of law.

There are laws and procedures to do it legally. Everyone inside our borders are granted the same rights in the Constitution.

Conservatives used to claim to be iron clad believers in the rule of law. What happened?

He's also defunded the National Weather Service (NOAA) to the point they won't be able to provide the same high level forecasts.

They don't even have the funds to send weather balloons up to get accurate readings.

Booed at the Kennedy Center, dissed by the Pope for failing to follow the tenets of Christianity.

Someday this smarmy moron will get a clue.

Perhaps Trumpy should not have tanked the bipartisan immigration bill Congress was attempting to pass to help reform our nations immigration laws.

Bingo!!

AOC 2028!

If Trump is somehow able to run for a third term I'd bet Obama would come out of retirement to save America.

Annual child deaths by guns comparison:

Norway: 5
Canada: 48
U.S.: 4800+

Why can't he just call his buddy Trump who has profited immensely from the Presidency! think about it...if Trump treats his biggest supporters like this then how will he treat the rest of us?

Trump doesn't have friends.

He has rubes he throws under the bus when they need help. Rudy Colludy is another example ...
