I can understand Pope Leo XIV having the Jones for some Mickey-Ds 🍔🍟.  But remembering that Trump made this picture a while back, and considering that Trump is a demented fool.  Keeping one's ass in Rome is the wiser choice.  I agree.
















Pope Leo XIV has been speaking forcefully and persistently against the United States' military actions in Iran, addressing not just war in the abstract, but the specific actions of the Donald Trump administration. And now a report from The Free Press has revealed that in January, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre, then the Vatican's ambassador to the United States, to the Pentagon. Behind closed doors, Colby threatened the ambassador, reminding him of the power of the U.S. army, and telling him that the church "had better take it's side." As part of his threat, he invoked the Avignon papacy.

Holy shit!

Indeed, and in a brazen theft of allocated funds, we are paying for this new Trump venture!


Now you know why they are all smiling.

Low-key means continue and carry-on Donald.  You just told the world how evil you are again.

Iran and the U.S. have very different conceptions of whether Lebanon counts as part of the nascent cease-fire. After Donald Trump confirmed that in his view Israel and Lebanon are in a "separate skirmish," which conflicts with the view of Pakistan, the country that mediated the dispute, Iran showed its displeasure by closing the strait to oil tankers, and now the Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened military action against "aggressors in the region" (Israel) if the Lebanon attacks continue.

Lying bitch.


Trump can't tell Bibi to keep it in his pants.  This is embarrassing.  America the submissive, does not know a safe word to make this rough nightmare stop.  All America does is tell the bitch to lie.  Nobody must see the mess behind the door.


Trump thinks he's the one holding the leash, but the only thing he's actually holding is the bag while Bibi takes the house, the car, and America's dignity on the run.  Leaving Trump in a golden collar.

That would have been a good reason , but that is not it.

QuoteWhy fourteen-day US-Iran ceasefire won't fix global energy crisis

What ceasefire?

RE

You blinked and missed it.  Israel never agreed despite what press releases said.  Israel wants us to become involved so deep that we have boots on the ground.  At this point, Trump has committed treason for going along with Israel.

There never was a ceasefire, because  Trumpolini simply ignored the provisions of the 10 points he can't accept and claim victory.  He just needed an excuse to TACO from committing Genocide and gain 2 weeks to try and work up a plan that can get the Jarheads through the straight.  That is the tactical problem stopping the invasion idea.  Their first try on this they got hit and were forced to retreat back out into the Indian Ocean.

Any Boots on the Ground attempt will generate horrific losses. so he's currently stymied.  The only plausible military maneuver would be to use tactical nukes to clear the coastline, but that has obvious political problems.

Look for the market to reprice tomorrow.
