Meanwhile, Trump and his family are profiting off the presidency like never before. Lock these liars up. Scumbags.

Trump and his evangelical christian cabinet are taking money from the middle east oil states... trading US military arms and denying climate change. It is all about money. Glad the hostages were released and the bombing in Gaza stopped (for now) but I am skeptical.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Also, ceasefires have happened under prior Presidents! The day he gets Palestine their own country he can be told he's the most special boy deserving of a shiny prize.

We MUST WATCH the Trump show.... required viewing....

Stop Peter Thiel @stoppeterthiel.bsky.social · 16h

Watching Trump and Jared Kushner taking a victory lap in Israel and Egypt, with a HUGE entourage... vehicles, personnel, roaring crowds... is making me angry. I can't help but think Trump and his family are benefiting financially from this deal. I cant stand to see tax money wasted on this criminal.

You have to give these Republican congress spokesmen credit -- They all repeat the party line without fail and they don't know anything about what happens in the government or how to govern for the people.

Trumpist evangelical Christians of this ilk are sociopaths. They need to start their own country somewhere else and make the rules. America is too big and diverse for them to put their thumb on it and force us to behave the way they want.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Good Lord, tariff revenue? The UPS won’t even deliver packages from other countries because the paperwork is too crazy and they’re destroying them… When the economy goes completely south I hope these guys figure out a way to pay the military.

Have you read the good news?

A very poor Photoshop edit of the "Everything I Don't Like Is Woke" spoof Ladybird book, except now the man has Peter Thiel's face, the book is called "Everything I don't like is The Antichrist" and he's pointing at a car engine saying "This engine is the Antichrist".

Thiel is A-Ok with a one world government as long as it he is controlling the "Techno-State" and he, himself, is the "Philosopher-King". Brain rot from not being taxed properly on his wealth. Thiel refuses to use his wealth to contribute to making the world better...

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."
