"But as it stands, Trump — who now has a $400 million luxury jet courtesy of the Qatari royal family and recently bragged, “I run the country and the world” — finally finds himself in the shadow of a fellow American. And that’s something his colossal ego just can’t abide." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize.

No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye".

It may not take a 2026 vote to upend the Nazis and the Orange Cheeto Since bond markets are intimately woven together Japan who is the biggest buyer of US debt with a debt to GDP ratio of 260% is about to go belly up because investors are reluctant to support their debt
Being in such a precarious position of bankruptcy Japan will not be able to support US debt With the foreign buyers of US debt through the bond market drying up due to loss of confidence in Cheeto's regime, the 50y fiat currency global experiment is coming to an end
In the 1980's China foresaw this fiat currency disaster and has quietly been accumulating gold and silver making it the largest holder of gold to the tune of 30K+ tonnes(contrast 8K tonnes by US) The days of US hegemony are over And an incompetent Cheeto and his Nazi regime will be at a total loss as to how to manage it Just like the COVID pandemic
Trump can - and does - find ways to justify the horrendously cruel decisions he and his regime make, but let’s not attribute this to “faith.” I have two seminary degrees and can say with absolute certainty that the Pope understands scripture and Christian theology, while they do not. I am not Catholic (I’m an ordained woman, so that wouldn’t have been an option), and I’m sure I differ with the Pope on several of the fine points of theology, but that’s normal. What is not normal is what this regime attempts to pass off as “Christianity.”
I dunno. I'm an atheistic, freethinking, Unitarian believer in the separation of church and state. So religion does not figure high on my list of priorities, to say the least.
That said, I can be found to slip a bit when I run across individuals who appear genuinely high-quality, intelligent and kind human beings, regardless of their religious afflictions. The new Pope, and his predecessor, appear to be such people. I'm at a dark time right now, things look pretty bad for what used to be the greatest nation on earth. We should welcome all the allies we can.
I hope Pope Leo XIV finds it in his heart to fuck Trump's shit up, and make his tiny head explode. I'm definitely there for that.
Thankfully a gracious, humble, servant of the people, Pope Leo, makes trump look more demented, deranged, grotesque and dystopian.
Thanks to Lincoln Square for all your efforts. GOP and its Kill Bill is expected to lead to the deaths of over six million people because of the dismantling of USAID. How ay will die because trump and musk compromised air traffic control, and the National Weather Service? Oh, wait, people have already died from those drastic cuts to staff and budgets. How many people will die or be abandoned because FEMA fails to respond to national disaster? Oh, that is already happening in a number of red states. Maybe if they fly a trump flag they will get assistance? No, that won't work, fools.
How many millions of children will go hungry in order to feed the insatiable money appetites of the mega wealthy? How many veterans and working poor will see their lives shortened by dramatic cuts to veteran's benefits and the destruction of Medicaid? How many cures for diseases will stop in thier tracks because RFKwaxk has eliminated grants for cutting edge research into chronic diseases as he pushing his magic vitamin A cures...
As GOP gives farmers billions to subsidize them for the damage of deranged trump tariffs, how much food will rot in farmer's fields and silos, as children go hungry? Feed the farmer billions, and starve children by the millions. Maybe that can be the GOP 2026 slogan.
As trump and his cretins damage veteran's benefits, trump spends $100 for a North Kprean type military patafr in his bloated orange honor. Sick.
How many more innocent Ukranians, fighting for democracy, must die because trump and GOP need to coddle The Btcher of Bucha?
The trump, musk, GOP death counters are already racking up large numbers, and those numbers will only multiply as they continue their madness of feeding the wealthy and starving the poor and middle class. The trump, GOP kill bill is just starting to take a toll, and it will be a large toll to most Americans who don't have a nine figure bank account.
The MAGA cult's excuses for Trump's graft are as ridiculous as they are expected. Who's going to tell them that Grover Cleveland didn't take the Statue of Liberty home with him when he left office?
And let's get real: Just once I'd like White House Access Chasers to push back on Trump's claim that HamasOne was "given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME!” by demanding that he hand it over to DOD permanently, in writing, and release all claim on it.
Bottom line: Our military isn't in the habit of accepting spy planes from foreign countries, and didn't do so here. That's why that flying bribe remains a sore spot for Dull Donnie, AND why any press person worth a damn should keep poking him on it.
Not only do we have a “woke Marxist pope”, we have a DEI pope! A historian and genealogist here in New Orleans has found the marriage certificate and census records for Pope Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents, who were listed as black. Apparently when they moved to Chicago (where his mother was born) around 1910-1912, they began identifying as white. Another example of our country’s rich, complicated history that the current regime is trying to deny.
Americans are complicated little mongrels. I think it's our strength.
True story: in Singapore on business and nursing some saké in the hotel bar. A Japanese businessman strikes up a conversation and we chat for a bit. After he'd had a few, he confided in me the following: "I so admire Americans. You are of pure blood!" I laughed so hard I fell off my stool (the saké didn't help) . He looked at me like I'd slapped him with a cold fish. The poor schnook had absolutely no idea what he was dealing with.
Where had he been? I expect Americans to be ignorant about the rest of the world, but most people in other countries know more about us than we do about them.
Before I retired, I worked for Immigration, so I met people from all over the world. Something a Nigerian said once has stayed with me. He explained that Nigerians believe all Americans drive Cadillacs and the streets are paved with gold. When he first came to the U.S. and saw all the homeless people sleeping on the streets, he was shocked. He said you wouldn’t see that in Nigeria, because someone would take those people in. (I took that with a grain of salt. I have known Nigerians to lie occasionally.) He also said that when he returns to Nigeria for a visit, cab drivers and other people who find out that he’s been living in the U.S. expect him to overpay or hand out money freely because he must be rich.
With the felon in chief, cruelty is the point, the measure of the "man", so to speak. I would suggest that all Lincoln Square supporters read ALL of Jason Stanley's books about fascism. There has ALWAYS been a strain of this cruel political style in the US. Time to face up to that reality. This situation did not begin with Vought and Project 2025. Stanley's books will give you language to define what you are seeing and encourage your resistance. Titles: How Fascism Works, How Propaganda Works, and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future. Long weekend ahead. Start reading, learning, thinking, acting. Finally, I feel deeply thankful for Pope Leo XIV. Let's listen to him, take courage from him, act together in behalf of one another and our right to human dignity no matter our particular situation.
Trump is an odious man surrounded by odious minions. He is an embarrassment and a danger. Please sign and encourage others to sign The People’s Articles of Impeachment Against Donald J. Trump:
You could go ahead and sign. Your foreign address will be noted and you will be excluded from the count of US citizens that have signed, but you can sign. There are five or six signers from Canada and one each from The Bahamas, England, Germany, and The Netherlands.
Captured it all quite well, Susan. Faith journeys often follow a very twisty path. Louis XIV stands before the world with a soul of goodness and mercy. May all of us, no matter what our faith may be or the lack thereof, be thankful that a leader of kindness and mercy still shines out into the world.

I have adopted a new name for Orangeaid and that is "Ol' Hollow Head". I think it is very fitting.
Yes, he certainly is a fool!

"Beware of false idols" - "Everything Trump Touches Dies" - ALL the people who have hitched themselves Trump are going down.........

I don't think he'd ever actually been here. Everybody has cartoons in their heads about everybody else.

Two notes: The Buddha's title means, "The Awakened One" - the Woke One, if you will. I guess the opposite is 'Sleepy'?
Small annoyance - to decimate is to take one tenth, as the French army in WWI shot one man in ten after a mutiny. To utterly destroy is to devastate.
Oh how I love a grammar geek! Nice job!

Not an American, so i can't sign. We need a World Citizen's appeal to someone - to whom? to the American People.
You could go ahead and sign. Your foreign address will be noted and you will be excluded from the count of US citizens that have signed, but you can sign. There are five or six signers from Canada and one each from The Bahamas, England, Germany, and The Netherlands.
What a contrast between an altruistic man of faith and an egmaniacal man of falsehoods. God save us from Trump and his MAGA mob.
Not a religious person, but I do find it wonderful that we finally have an American on the world stage who isn't a global embarrassment.
Captured it all quite well, Susan. Faith journeys often follow a very twisty path. Louis XIV stands before the world with a soul of goodness and mercy. May all of us, no matter what our faith may be or the lack thereof, be thankful that a leader of kindness and mercy still shines out into the world.
Leo.
Latin for lion. He's gonna take a bite out of Trump.
I hope he's had his rabies shots.
