Trump administration 2024-2028

[MilEME09]

well thats a big swing from 4.4 to 0.5%

U.S. GDP Q4 2025 final estimate revised down to 0.5%

The revision, down from 0.7%, was driven by a pullback in private inventory investment, as a government shutdown weighed on growth

Threats of violence should be met with threats of excommunication. Its a big deal for practicing Catholics like Vance.

What if they just didn't exorcise his couch next time it seduces him?

 

[RangerRay]

like would our own less than Ministers(Parliamentary Secretaries?) summon Archbishop Ivan Jurkovič the current Apostolic Nuncio ?

I’m going to guess no to that as well, but I do stand to be corrected.

The bones of Trumps ballroom aren't even going to be American made.

So there's been some Pope stuff happening in the background that has resulted in plans for him to visit the US later in the year to be scrapped.

Including, an alleged threat to use military force against the Holy See.

The Pentagon Threatened Pope Leo XIV’s Ambassador With the Avignon Papacy

The Free Press has documented a closed-door Pentagon meeting in which a senior Trump official lectured Pope Leo XIV’s ambassador on American military supremacy.

(....)

Now, we hear from Big Vatican ....

Media narrative about nuncio’s Pentagon meeting untrue, Vatican says

The Vatican responded to a media report claiming Cardinal Christophe Pierre, then-papal envoy to the U.S., received “a bitter lecture” in a meeting with U.S. defense officials.

I like that whatever AI they used decided to put a Gundam up in heaven, and what looks like the F/A-37 Talon from Stealth about to crash into a tiny Marvel Helicarrier just behind the vaguely F-35 shaped thing.

If I were a devout Christian, I would think that would be blasphemous and contrary to the First Commandment.

In a lot of ways it is. Trump has courted a number of different groups to gain his support. Some denominations support him more than others.

Here’s a quote that stood out to me. I’m not Catholic, but if this happened, I find it extremely disturbing.

Avignon Papacy - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Same time that the Knight's Templar were burned at the stake, once the French crown controlled the Pope because Philip IV of France owed them too much money. Something I could see Trump trying to do in different ways.

It was actually his daughter Isabella "the she-wolf of France" is actually in the long run much more notorious as she was later married to Edward II of England and would later overthrow him in favour of their son, Edward III would Hollywood would have you believe was conceived when Isabella had sex with Mel Gibson at the age of three.

Im no Catholic zealot here, but am Catholic. You would be correct in your assessment lmao

Bible Gateway passage: Revelation 13 - New International Version

The Beast out of the Sea - The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth...

I have a cousin who is an ordained Wesleyan minister, and is also a big Trump supporter... It seems to be a somewhat normal sort of mental gymnastics for many American Christians.

I'm not devout either - in fact more of a heathen - but Anglican is what is on my ID disks.

I fully agree with you.

Someone is Trump’s inner group should have a talk with some elderly Soviet/Polish Communist government officials from the 1980’s and ask them what happened when they picked a fight with a Pope….

Not surprised at all.

Not surprised at all.

I think that sort of evangelism in the IS is as much cultural as it is religious, and to be blunt, the purported religious values seem very flexible in order to conform to the culture. It is what it is.

Interesting picture. Overlay this information against voting patterns in the US. The colours don't come across with the %. Prods are blue, with the darkest blue being the highest %. Roman Catholics are orange. Mormons are pink and Unaffiliated are the grey colour.
