It's pope vs. president now. "The Church, like a mother, accompanies those who are walking," the pontiff writes in the document, titled "Dilexi te" (I have loved you). "She knows that in every rejected migrant, it is Christ himself who knocks at the door of the community."

Vice President "JD Vance is the ultimate DEl guy. An OSU who they let into Yale Law School and treated like a shaved ape that they taught to drink sparkling water and later paid for a senate seat for.

relaxed admissions criteria for geographically diverse candidates at Yale

"among many other topics the political press would normally make a huge deal of but ignored for Trump in 2024 is how comically unqualified and unprepared JD Vance is

his work experience was a bunch of wingnut welfare conservative sinecures working for twisted billionaire oligarchs like Peter Thiel"

A sample JD Vance work product: He was on the board of directors for a SPAC "vertical farming" company that was accused of massive labor law violations and has since gone bankrupt and delisted and now trades as a penny stock. Great job JD, I'm sure "most powerful person in the world" will go great!

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...
Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt. The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement." Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans. Like the McCarthyism that swept through American society in the 1950s, irrational madness dominates American society. The recent visa issue, which could have been resolved diplomatically with advance notice from an ally, is difficult to explain beyond political maneuvering. The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.
