Exactly,
The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia ran this provocative headline yesterday: โ€œThe pope offers the opposite of Trump.โ€

People are finally acknowledging that the lies Trump is spewing are not the realities they are experiencing. What the ok them so long?

I see a lot of these quotes on the daily and whatโ€™s my takeaway? That we didnโ€™t listen to any of them.

In a world of Peter Thiels, be a Pope Leo XIV.
Thiel on Trump: โ€œThere are a lot of things I got wrong... was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought.โ€ โ€œYou wish theyโ€™d appointed more competent people.โ€ โ€œadministration isโ€ฆ staffed by not very smart but very loyal peopleโ€

Why do I admire Pope Leo so much even though I'm not Catholic, nor a Christian? Easy. He represents compassion, kindness, understanding, and empathy. That, to me, is strength. In a world that has placed cruelty and assholery on a pedestal, Pope Leo represents love and strength.

This is the image that resonated with me from yesterday.
"The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce ... The fundamental dignity of each person, therefore, is neither acquired nor earned, nor does it need to be justified ... The dignity of every human person can be described as infinite." Pope Leo XIV: "Magnifica Humanitas."

They (Republicans) call it an โ€œentitlementโ€ to make it seem like you didnโ€™t earn it. I call it an โ€œentitlementโ€ because you are entitled to the money you paid in. You see how that works?
With every paycheck since your first job, you've contributed 6.2%, and your employer has paid 6.2%. Thatโ€™s 12.4% every time. Social Security should never be considered a handout โ€“ itโ€™s EARNED.

Everyone needs to listen to this amazing uplifting get your ass out & fight speech by Joseph Robinette Biden. I needed this and I know Iโ€™m not the only one. If he can do it with Cancer so can we. This is what a true leader sounds like.

How can you not get emotional, watching this?
The perfect ending for Justin Verlander. His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family. Feels like a movie.

We had a pretty good idea that AI would try and kill us all yet we went ahead with it anyway, without providing any guard rails. How stupid is that?

Pope Leo is tremendously popular in France where many donโ€™t attend church. It was explained that he represents kindness, humility, sanity (re AI) & spirituality in the age of crude crass materialism of T***p that offers no meaning to life.

Just lovely.
Six young people with Down syndrome served Pope Leo XIVโ€™s Mass in Paris on Saturday. The Mass comes as the r-word returns to everyday MAGA speech, from Joe Roganโ€™s podcast to Wall Street trading desks. On Thanksgiving Day 2025, the president himself called Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota โ€œseriously retarded.โ€

This gives me hope.
It is impossible to overstate what we are seeing today in Paris 1 million people are attending Pope Leo XIV's Mass They are lining the entire length of the Champs Elysee to the Arc de Triomphe and chanting the name of the head of the Catholic Church France is Catholic

I love this man.
So grateful that America ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ has given the world a true leader; a man of faith, grace, compassion, decency, and boundless humanity. Thank you kindly, @Pontifex. You have stirred the souls of so many in Paris today, and around the world. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ ๐Ÿ“ท Photo @RichRaho

You know whatโ€™s a statistical improbability? That all 7 swing states voted for Trump in 2024 while voting in Democrats in other races, imho.
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."
