Trump administration 2024-2028

More thoughts of their own path being followed, by an American ex-diplomat…

(Could also be semi-relatedly cross-posted in the Whither NATO thread perhaps, but root cause analysis says it’s best here.)

Until the Pope stops disrespecting Trump, the Catholics will continue to be Trumpexorcised… 😉

Maybe the Pope should stop being so pious and trying to preach to everybody about what being a good Christian is? Show a bit more love and support for his president like a good American?

The only and only priest was out of town; on Easter weekend.

Maybe just step one in delegitimizing every faith organization outside of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Makes you wonder how well Hegseth and Vance get along.

Vance - the former Marine - seems to have been super quiet on Iran. I wonder if he’s been tactically distancing himself and his political profile from the war.

I was more wondering about their comparative religious affiliations. Hegseth is reportedly an adherent of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. The CREC is heavy into Christian Nationalism. While not aligned with the SBC, they are both evangenical and rely on a literal interpretation of the bible.

Vance is apparently a fairly recent Catholic.

There still is a liturgy and a recounting of the Passion.

Lots of praise for dictators, less so for long time allies again. Wouldn't be surprised if this further sours South Korea's relationship with the US.

And he's still got Greenland swimming in his head.
