T 2.0

What's wrong with starting with the fundamental truth?

That ship sailed a long time ago in politics. Here are some fundamental truths:

Trump lies. Biden is cognitively and physically impaired and was during his presidency.

Illegal border crossings are at a 25 year low. Egg and gas prices, as well as, interest rates are lower under the Trump administration. We're screwed if Trump doesn't reach a trade deal with China soon.

You get your "hot takes" from Youtube.

“In our Constitution, judges and the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law — and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the President. And that innovation doesn't work if the judiciary is not independent. Its job is to obviously decide cases — but in the course of that, check the excesses of Congress or of the executive. And that does require a degree of independence.”

Chief Justice John Roberts.

It's awesome, isn't it? I mean, imagine if the court hadn't stopped Pedo Joe from enabling companies to harass or fire women that had reproductive concerns about the rushed, Covid vaccine. How many "Our bodies... Our choice" t-shirts would have been sent to TJ Maxx?

Dual citizen, I assume, US (born) & Peru.

He gave speeches from the Papal Balcony in Latin and Spanish, and not English.

I’ll take yes. He’ll figure it will piss off all the never-Trumpers.

Italian, which is the language of the Vatican and therefore the church, essentially. His Spanish aside was a shout out to his diocese in Peru, where he has been based since he was 30 (he's 69) and that seems like a natural thing to do.

Espola struggles with "fundamental truths".

I drive by a Catholic Charities Immigrant Services office every day and there were often long lines of immigrants waiting to get assistance. Not so much anymore, but the organization certainly enables illegal immigrants.
