heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Is that the one about male fertility. Don’t let RFK Jr see it. He’s all worried about “parents not having children.”

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

It still stuns me that so many Americans believe that someone who was given hundreds of millions of dollars for free and turned it into multiple bankruptcies is an economic genius.

Hey doomer — she is very very very likely to win. She got fired for posting a screenshot of a Charlie Kirk tweet.

Just maybe remember Melissa Hortman🙏, her husband Mark🙏, & their dog Gilbert🙏, along with John Hoffman who survived. They didn't get nearly the press I'm sure this will, no matter the outcome.

Trump is right: There’s a crime wave in this country.
It’s based in the White House. Trump pardoned people who beat up cops. In the last few days, judges found he illegally took money from Harvard, illegally used the Alien Enemies Act to impose tariffs, and illegally sent troops into Los Angeles.

I’ve seen you mention Maine a lot and then recently Tampa. I like living here a very blue college town where I don’t really have to interact with anyone in his cult.

I am fully retired now. It’s fun and a lot less stressful.

Agree. I still do twitter a bit. I just tell myself that every rude stupid racist account is fake. I rarely engage in arguments over there. I guess we should be glad we got to experience the fun days of twitter.

The 7-1 map that MO intends to push through is already drawn bc they tried to pass it a couple years ago.

This was really satisfying and enjoyable to read. I love the dramatic video at the end. Is it supposed to be a serious news article?

I forgot that! Only remembered her last name Spaghetti. I’m seeing Freakier Friday tomorrow, also did F1, Superman and Jurassic— just silly stuff to escape reality.
