Getting a Godfather 3 vibe about the hard right being triggered by the new pope. “The pope has powerful enemies”.

This is sick, to add to the others. Legacy media, stick with this story, don’t chase the next squirrel. I’m not religious, but wtaf!l insulting beyond belief to those mourning their spiritual leader.

The idea of local accountability is important, but so is efficiency. Hearing about the same problem being differently solved by each group that encounters it, with varying degrees of success, rather than seeking best practice. I wondered how long it would be before this was said out loud.

The politics of the Trump picks, many of whom wholly unsuited to the role, is fascinating. He wins boths ways, eg if Gaetz is passed fit, Trump's will is vindicated, if he is rejected, it is the deep state stopping the will of the people. Etc for the others. Both outcomes suit the narrative.

Good thing someone didn’t give him all the best weapons in the world.
Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense has a Deus Vult tattoo, signifying how steeped he is in far-right Christian nationalist ideology. Very normal candidate to lead the largest bureaucracy in the world.
