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."

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Michael McHenry and I were best friends in HS, then lost touch when he vanished into the CIA -and I thought a reporter writing or calling wouldn’t do him any favors. Pretty clearly Mike spent a life as a true public servant and always, an honorable man. RIP

When I was an ADA I prosecuted a FAMILY: a brother & sister and her then teenaged son after they burgled a neighbor's house.

I looked them up & the brother hasn't been in trouble in 8 yrs but the sister JUST got out of prison on a meth trafficking case and her son is in on kidnapping.

Very sad.

I once had a client whose last name was "Daggs" and every time I thought about them, I heard Brad Pitt's voice in my head:

In the hours leading up to the shooting, the couple had been arguing over finances. During a meal at a restaurant, the judge made a “finger gun” motion at his wife, a gesture that angered her enough to walk away from their table for a few minutes. www.ocregister.com/2025/09/17/e...

On my boy @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social recommendation watching #TheBestMan. No, not THAT one, the 1964 movie starring Peter Fonda.

And to answer the tagline: NO!

Would Michael P. Keaton be #MAGA? He's 64, college educated and probably works in finance.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
