He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Like I think it's fine to come around to the idea they should have prosecuted Trump, but it's a mistake to still be describing the mob itself as a bunch of goofs... they were violent psychos and had AOC hiding in a bathroom

This is awfully similar to centrists posting "the left will always lose as long as I'm not allowed to be a little bit of a bigot"

I thought the cops and the fbi were the ones riling up the insurrectionists is certainly a take.

I am starting to think that Michael Wolff was right when he said that Epstein showed him pictures that had Trump posing with half-naked underage girls.

If I'm hearing the Speaker and Republican leadership right in this press conference they are now saying they will keep the House in recess for the fourth week in a row as troops and federal workers start missing their paychecks

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Jack Posobiec in the White House saying that Antifa dates back to Weimer and resisted Hitler coming to power might be one thing that finally drives me over the edge.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

MY POPE!!

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 20h

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

"Our Holy Father … is very personally concerned about these matters," El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz, who took part in the meeting, told Reuters. "He expressed his desire that the U.S. Bishops' Conference would speak strongly on this issue."
"It means a lot to all of us to know of his personal desire that we continue to speak out," said Seitz.

It’s genuinely mind-numbing that people thought they shamed Leo into being quiet about this. He’s the Pope and Tradition is on his side when it comes to the humane treatment of migrants

Asked about President Trump's decision to send 400 National Guard troops to Chicago, Pope Leo XIV says: "I prefer not to comment about political choices [made] within the United States. Thank you very much."

Every leader I've ever met learns this lesson the hard way. We do not get to say the things we got away with saying as underlings when we assume the responsibility of command and leadership.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

If I was a Leftist or Liberal from Texas and I knew someone who was in the Texas National Guard I would simply encourage them to either quit or refuse their deployment. Lecturing people body shaming TX National Guardsmen seems counterproductive.

It truly is the government of landlords and used car dealers because anyone familiar with either of these occupations knows that they are the last bastions of men who, for no reason but their own sloven incompetence, seek out imagined excuse to violate basic contract law and routine regulations.

Not to discount the enormous damage they have done, and still can do, but this really might be one of the dumbest governments in the history of the world.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"
