You can’t convince me he knows Venezuela and Colombia are different places
is it the aspiration of the trump administration to be at war with the entire continent of south america simultaneously?
is the president trying to make the plot of Call of Duty: Ghosts happen in real life?

Compare to the journo solidarity shown when Obama suggested Fox News might be more than slightly biased against him.
…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?
Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!
Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

It does feel like we're all going insane. We *know* he's implicated in Epstein's abuse. He's lashing out, in a misogynistic way, when questioned about it. We know. Why isn't every news stations 24hour coverage of the president being a child abuser? It should be wall-to-wall

Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.
For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.

Star Wars holiday special isn’t even a fun “so bad it’s good” kind of watch. Not funny, not entertaining in any way. The animated segment is really the only interesting bit.

God this is such an insult. Moana was the best animated film the company produced in a decade. This looks looks like it has almost as much CG animation as the original but without any of the charm
Catherine Laga'aia and Dwayne Johnson are set to make a splash with the first trailer for Disney's live-action feature adaptation of #Moana.

This is why Leo was made pope.
I think one of the things the US Catholic Bishops needs to recognize is that folks like Vance, Homan, Fuentes, etc. are trying to be an alternative magisterium to the Pope. The Catholic Church really needs to fight this before it fully takes hold.
