Zone1 A Woke Pope?

You mean the truth? Yeah, I'll keep stating that tariffs are effectively a tax on the consumer and are the antithesis of conservative values until the cows come home. And despite the propaganda being bandied about, no one is making capital investments based upon tariffs but instead upon sound economic principles that last. And that tariffs are the opposite of free markets. All things conservatives use to value.

What's next? Are you going to tell me fighting Israel's war is good for the US too?

Is it Israel's war when Iran finances multiple terrorist groups that murder Americans or did you forget about that even though I told you a few days ago ?

Iran is nothing to us. You are parroting the party line. This war is for Israel.

There is absolutely nothing to substantiate such an authority as the one imposed by the Church of Rome other than the word of the Church of Rome. Historical contradictions, hypocrisy, lies, persécutions, wars, exploitations, corruption and much, much more should already have rendered anything this figure pronounced as totally beneath serious consideration. That finally he might be correct concerning the present misdirection of American ideals and original intentions may be regarded as pure chance.

It is the glory of the Catholic Church to have enemies that ignore the good.

Right. Nothing to us. Which is why every president for the last 40 years has stated that the US's BIGGEST threat is IRAN.

Then they were idiots. Because the biggest threats are Russia and China. This war is for Israel. I don't believe this will end well. I believe it was a mistake. Time will tell.

Well that may be...but they are/were the ones in power. Not the editors at the NYT or NPR radio.

I can assure you that WORLD POWERS like China and Russia are bigger threats to the US than a REGIONAL POWER like Iran. Iran posed a direct existential threat to Israel, not the US.

but they are/were the ones in power. Not the editors at the NYT or NPR radio.

And your point is what? Because I don't follow either. I know what is what. And I know Israelis are laughing at stupid Americans for fighting their war for them.

I voted for Trump and am regretting that vote. I should have abstained. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted WWIII so he could invoke war powers and suspend the election.

That America makes "pre-emptive war" is an irrémédiable shame and embarrasment, as well as an insult to the founders.

So your going to cast a vote for Kamala or Gavin Newsome now right ?

No idea. I haven't given that any thought. But what I have given thought is that Trump is not behaving as a conservative.
