Trump cares only about getting richer and being liked by the cool kids (1%). Period.
He’s turned everything else over to the Right’s Project 2025 fever dream of destroying the past 70 years of government.
Everything else is a distraction for these two things.

Like addicts or alcoholics, when enough of the American people experience enough pain, they will change.
Apparently, an ocean of information is not enough. All we have left is pain.

Indeed. The Lord did not command that we beat swords into ploughshares so that gaslighting grifters could farm rage.
Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.
Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up.
Cardinal Dolan joins the Catholic right's ever growing quest to lionize the late Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr.

No one should mourn the old clerical system of the Catholic Church in the United States, but that system at least prevented the insane zealotry that we see today. The problem is that today prominent representatives of that clerical system are supporting that zealotry.

Can’t we just say no one should be shot for their political views? Do we have to canonize the guy too?

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its sheath, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. (MT 26:52)
And
Anyone who has ears to hear ought to hear.” (MK4:23)
