After 70 years of attempting to make Female PASTORS a thing, Progressive denominations across the globe admitted the experiment Failed and was over. As the Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde. Proved Once And For All Why Only Men Should Be Pastors
The Nation: Trump is to real politics as professional wrestling is to genuine sports ... Professional wrestling has given us the useful word "kayfabe", which Merriam-Webster defines as the "tacit agreement between professional wrestlers and their fans to pretend that overtly staged wrestling events, stories, characters, etc., are genuine".
Mexico: "...Anyone reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done their homework. Trump boasts he got Sheinbaum to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. ...Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there". Trump in truth got nothing, while Sheinbaum got a major concession.
Canada: ...Trump put a pause on tariffs after ... Justin Trudeau ... promised $1.3 billion in border spending as well as "new commitments" such as the creation of a border czar. But ...Trudeau was agreeing to something that he had already previously announced (...in December). As the right-wing magazine National Review observes, "The 'new commitments' are either pointless or not new".
The sheer unreality of the whole trade war can be seen in the fact that Trump and Vice President Vance have both made fentanyl smuggling from Canada a major talking point. ... In point of fact ... "Total fentanyl seizures at the U.S.-Canada border since October 2021: 69 lbs. A grand total of TWO pounds of fentanyl were seized in the entirety of fiscal year 2023. Total".
Panama: Trump-friendly outlets ... touted what they saw as a major victory for the administration: Panama saying it won’t renew the Belt and Road Agreement with China. This happened after Trump threatened to take over the Panama Canal. But ... this framing misunderstands the nature of the Belt and Road Initiative, which isn’t an formal alliance but merely deals to work on projects. Panama was merely declaring what was already policy since 2019, when Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo suspended major Belt and Road Initiative projects. "The only major ongoing project is a $1.3 billion bridge over the canal being built by Chinese companies (and which Panama won’t cancel since it's already well underway). As things stand, there are no new BRI projects planned in Panama. So this announcement that it is forgoing the BRI is probably a mutually-agreed talking point between Washington and Panama to make it look like US pressure achieved something when in effect it basically changes nothing.
Colombia: Trump's spat with Colombia's President Gustavo Petro over the treatment of deportees has been falsely presented by Trump and a credulous American press as a victory for the American leader. But ... this is yet another case where Trump accepted a face-saving compromise that amounts to a return to an older status quo. Trump wanted the deportees taken on US military planes, shackled. Colombia refused to receive deportees in this manner. Trump did not successfully force Colombia to accept his conditions. Instead, the U.S. government acceded to Petro's demand that he be allowed to determine how the migrants came home.
Conclusion: Time after time, Trump is using tariff threats to extract meager or nonexistent concessions, which allow him to proclaim himself a winner. This kayfabe act is a way of exciting the MAGA fanbase... link
Minus = bigly excited over d0n0ld's pretend victories. Were you a bigly fan of "the apprentice"? The producers of that fake "reality" teevee show did the same thing. Which was to make it LOOK like d0n0ld knew what he was doing.
btw, USAID is a low cost way to help people around the world and spread goodwill for the US. China is loving d0n0ld's stupidity. China will step into the breach and spread goodwill for China in the absence of the United States. Another win for our enemies. d0n0ld is racking them up.
But China isn't going to take over all aid provided by the US. Many people will die as a result. It is the purview of Congress to regulate USAID. If some USAID funds are being misspent, it is up to Congress to do something about it. NOT the executive branch.
Sounds to me like Ilhan Omar is inciting an insurrection. But, I'm fine with letting Pam Bondi decide that and do what she thinks is the thing to do. . By the way David, I won't be answering your Dumb "Posts" anymore. I don't think that You are worth MY time. And also to answer a Dope like you is only showing that I care about whet you are saying... AND I DON'T. BURR---BYE
Copilot: I couldn't find any specific information confirming that the DNC has a BlueSky account. BlueSky is a decentralized social network platform, and many organizations and individuals have joined it, but there's no clear evidence that the DNC is among them.
Mystere: Derpy heads a stink tank in Paris Tennessee.
LOL! That's hilarious, Mystere. If you want to read about the "stink tank" that I head, you can read about it here. This is a list of the posts that Mystere previously asserted I am "hiding".
btw, I did notice that you said nothing to refute my comment about d0n0ld's tariff kayfabe. Nothing. I assume the reason is because you silently agreed that the article I cited is correct. d0n0ld's theatrics resulted in zero concessions from the targeted countries. What happened is that Turd-2 lied and pretended what happened (in all cited cases) were "victories" for Turd-2. When they were NOT.
In regards to Dick's comment, I think the evidence has shown conclusively that so many men in high positions in the church is a bad idea and that more women are needed. Especially in the Catholic church. I think Catholicism could definitely benefit if they allowed women to become priests.
Minus: Every tariff threat opens a conversation that needs to be had.
BS.
Minus: There's no rule that says the US has to keep its' mouth shut while its' getting f*cked.
Congress can debate and pass trade legislation.
Minus: Women make terrible leaders. They've never been conditioned to violence.
Misogynistic and incorrect opinion.
Also, when was d0n0ld tRump "conditioned to violence"?
FYI, ...while military schools emphasize discipline and structure, they don't necessarily condition students to violence. The goal is more about instilling leadership, responsibility, and respect for authority. (via Copilot).

BlueSky - The blind leading the blind
lol! Go to the thread above.
Yes, the Dems are getting desperate. They're approaching their Jan 6 moment.
I have never even looked at BlueSky.
So you receive your DNC Talking Points w/o any prior discussion. Good to know...
Derpy heads a stink tank in Paris Tennessee.
Me: Does the DNC have a BlueSky account?
Copilot: I couldn't find any specific information confirming that the DNC has a BlueSky account. BlueSky is a decentralized social network platform, and many organizations and individuals have joined it, but there's no clear evidence that the DNC is among them.

:)
You're encouraging me to create a BlueSky account?
Only if you want to shape the talking point rather than merely follow them.
btw, I did notice that you said nothing to refute my comment about d0n0ld's tariff kayfabe. Nothing.

Every tariff threat opens a conversation that needs to be had.
There's no rule that says the US has to keep its' mouth shut while its' getting f*cked.
