Steve, you're spot on, as usual. As a catholic who has recently started attending mass on a regular basis, I'm disgusted by that guy's comments about the pope. Now we will probably never receive a papal visit while this jerk is in office. And that picture he posted is pure blasphemy. If there's a hell, he's certainly going there. He does this crap to trigger us and it's working, unfortunately. There's a mad man in the White House and he needs to go. At least if we get the house and senate back, we can put checks and balances on him before our country slides into the toilet. The Orban loss should be a bad omen for him, but good for the rest of us.
I personally hope the Pope visits regardless of Trump's words and actions. Trump will try to use the visit to his advantage, but he won't be able to. And he won't be able to shut up this Pope.
I have mixed feelings about the Pope visiting America, while frump is president. Pope Leo will be received by huge crowds, most popes are, but being an American pope, the crowds will be even greater. Security will have to be at the utmost! I can see ICE arresting him, under frump's order, for being a traitor, or an illegal immigrate! If Pope Leo does visit America, I hope that he will snub frump, by refusing to be seen with frump, his wife, and the Vamps! Oh, and Rubio, and his family too!
There are people, though, who have a certain kind of character. They are uniquely themselves no matter the situation. They tell the truth no matter the consequences. I believe Pope Leo is such a person. Trump is no match for him.
But we shall see. At any rate, I pray an end to this war before any more damage is done.
Cheryl, You posted, "And that picture he posted is pure blasphemy." Are you ready for a good laugh? Following, is Trump's pathetic attempt to answer criticism of his obviously blasphemous post, which, BTW, he has taken down:
“I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor — and, had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker there, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one. So I just heard about it, and I said, ‘How do they come up with that?’ It’s supposed to be me as doctor making people better, and I do make people better. I make people a lot better.” – Trump, when asked about his now-deleted post showing him as Jesus Christ.
If he thinks that explanation will be accepted, he is even more senile than I thought. Does he look like a doctor? Do doctors "lay on hands" to heal? Do they wear robes? Are they accompanied by angels and airplanes?
To the ass-kissing, frightened MAGA representatives and senators:Get him the hell out of the Oval Office because you will suffer with the rest us in the wake of his disastrous regime; the longer it continues the more we will all suffer.
Yes he & his despicable cabinet & enablers & all the billionaires that fund their lawless ways do think we are stupid … but they will learn that we are not.
How many times has frump said: "I didn't know/hear that!" "I didn't do that , the Democrats must have put that out." Any time he is backed into a corner, he acts as a five year old! "I didn't do it mommy, she did!" Now, in this disgusting image, he is supposed to be a doctor in Jesus' clothing! Come on! This better wake the American voter up! If they don't, we are doomed!
Thanks Anthony .. you are absolutley right the longer heis in there the worse it's going to get for everyone . It's hilarious that he is a doctor in the picture. How do the maga crowd anwer that ..
I really hope Pope Leo doesn't come to the US while the shithead is in there. That bum would figire out a way to meet the Pope on our ground .. no no no...
Trump's portrayal of himself as Jesus blessing or healing a man who might be Epstein is finally waking more of his Christian disciples up to the reality that he resembles the antiChrist more than Jesus Christ. This delusional man thinks he has powers that he does not have; he thinks he can control the world when, in reality, he can't even control himself.
Victor Orban's defeat may well portend his own and this has made the madman even crazier. Republicans are looking increasingly bad for not joining Democrats in eliminating this scourge from our country and world.
Trump has announced that the U.S. Navy will begin a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz at 10 a.m. today (4/13). He also announced that the U.S. would interdict any ships on the high seas that paid Iran’s toll, pointing out the illegality of those tolls in a statement, “No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.” Earlier, “Trump stirred concern across Europe by suggesting a ‘joint venture’ with Tehran to impose a pay-to-pass system on the waterway, which is vital for the transit of oil, gas and fertilizer supplies.” (https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/04/09/eu-rejects-trumps-joint-venture-to-charge-ships-through-the-strait-of-hormuz) If Trump gets half the illegal tolls he is willing to overlook violations of international law.
Administration officials “have backed themselves into a corner where the only remaining path is either hurting our allies in Asia, or letting Iran plunder the global energy market.” Brett Erickson, managing principal of Obsidian Risk Advisors also said, “Countries around the world are now facing genuine energy emergencies and Washington’s economic response has been totally disjointed.”
Trump has created problems that he is powerless to resolve. He underestimated the will of Iran’s regime to fight his incursion. He thought they would cave-in like Venezuela. As a result, he has created chaos in the world economy, intensified the fear of and likelihood of wars across the globe, and severely weakened the American economy; he is truly a loose cannon firing irrationally at his perceived enemies at home and abroad.
Yes Steve we must not fail. Hungry is making my heart soar this morning. It is typical of Trump to make the selection of the Pope about him. He was selected because of Donald Trump. Somehow I don't think so. I am an ex catholic but I do love Pope Leo ..Thank you Pope Leo. I have friends who are Catholic and probably believe Trumps view. Who knows .. but we must prevail . lost in america
I also left the Roman Catholic Church, for many different reasons. It has caused a division with my brother and his wife, and me. However, I did love and respect Pope Francis. The American bishops didn't agree with Francis' starting of the "inclusion'" of God's children, like the LGBTQ+ community. Many American Catholics, like my brother, moved toward a more conservative view of the Church. From what I see/hear in the news, the American Bishops are changing their tune, probably due to frump;'s actions. Francis opened the door for a pope like Pope Leo, a man, who is not afraid to tell it like it is. As a man in his sixties, Pope Leo has seen nothing but war after war, and poverty, and injustices throughout the world. Catholics believe, that through prayer, it is God that selects the pope. It seems that God chose Pope Leo, to be a pope who will lead the christian people back to what Christianity really is all about-and that is LOVE.
I have started distributing Trump's blasphemous meme far and wide. I am posting it across Substack; across Reddit; on Facebook.
I want every Christian Nationalist, every white supremacists, every MAGA, and every quiet Trump supporter to see Trump's blasphemy.
I want every single one of these people who supported a pedophile President to see how he views himself.
Donald Trump, the sycophants in his administration, the Christian Nationalists, the white supremacists, the MAGAs and the Trump supporters have placed themselves beyond redemption and salvation. There is no hope of God's mercy for them. They will be cast into the outer darkness. Even St. Paul stated, at the end of the first chapter of the Epistle to the Romans:
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, GOD GAVE THEM UP to a debased mind and to things that should not be done. 29 They were filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, covetousness, malice. Full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, craftiness, they are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 They know God’s decree, that those who practice such things deserve to die—yet they not only do them but even applaud others who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)
Steve, everything you say is absolutely true. But I must point out that today has been festering ever since Richard Nixon committed treason to win the presidency in 1968 and Reagan followed that playbook in 1980. After SCOTUS appointed GW Bush to the presidency in 2000 by prematurely stopping the FL recount, the only Republican to have run for president with an ounce of integrity was your candidate, John McCain. Like all of us, he had his faults but I believe he was a true patriot.
Donald John Trump used racism and fear of “the other” to bring out the haters in the right states to win in 2016 after 8 years of a, god forbid, black president. Somehow we re-elected him after McConnell refused to send him into the wilderness in 2021 after his failed coup attempt.
I believe that the Project 2025 authors have, like the German oligarchs of the 1930s, lost control of their monster but they are hoping that Trump remains erect and semi-coherent until January 21, 2027, at which point they will install Vance as president in an attempt to retain control until 2036.
We are on the verge of WW III so they may not be able to wait.
I think that is their plan, Larry. After reading HCR yesterday, where she talked about how the people of Charleston, SC celebrated in the streets after the shelling of Ft. Sumpter, little knowing the demons that were about to be let loose upon this land, it made me think about how little they understand what they are unleashing. The poor morons get such a bad rap because they are compared with him and his minions.
No one, not even our best screen writer could make this up. As the madness progresses more and more of us are going to see their way through it. Hungary, bless them, has shown the way. It was almost comical how they sent Maybilene Man the dunce to offer support to Orban last week, and then they sent him to Pakistan to negotiate with the Iranians where he almost immediately left claiming that they would not make a deal with him, Duh! And then the insipid orange turd decided with whatever wisdom he can muster to attack the Pope. It could not be more perfect. Even the moral majority maggots will take offense at his depiction of himself as their god. I might start to feel sorry for satan who will be having to deal with him soon enough. Yesterday, last week, last month, wouldn't have been to soon.
As a Christian, Steve, I say amen and amen. This madness, this blasphemy, this EVIL must end. To see the degradation and moral bankruptcy of the American people generally, virtually every Republican officeholder from top to bottom specifically, along with the Supreme Court and judges like Aileen Cannon, and ESPECIALLY the VAST majority of my supposed fellow evangelical Christians, has just about broken me. We all need to repent and soon. The last ten years have been an abomination to God and man. It has KILLED me as it has you and every thoughtful and decent American.
As Lincoln said in his Second Inaugural, I fear we deserve our country to be burned to the ground for this insanity and depravity and evil. I pray we are spared what we deserve. But as Lincoln said about the offense of slavery, so it is for us the offense of choosing Trump. “Woe to those by whom the offense came,” and “the ways of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
Sorry to get so “spiritual,” or “religious,” but Steve started the blasphemy talk. Pope Leo has been an inspiration and a beacon of what true Christianity is. The Franklin Grahams and so many more of the “evangelical” world I have inhabited for a long time repulse and infuriate and disgust me. We have sold our souls in this country, and we are going to reap what we have sown. Galatians 6:7. Mark 8:36
I am not a Christian. But Trump's blasphemous image made me physically sick, more so even than the ridiculous video of him dropping shit on protesters. At the same time, the words of our Pope from Chicago makes me feel just a little bit Catholic in solidarity.
And which states delivered wins to Trump, Vance, and similar blasphemes?
In South Carolina, measles are surging like no tomorrow. The vaccine for measles has safely been in use since 1962.
The red states are a cinder block to a drowning country.
Hear, hear
Keep calm and Carry On; the future is before us..
Let's take it while we can, and rid ousrselves of this abhorrent creature.
YES WE CAN!
Steve, you're spot on, as usual. As a catholic who has recently started attending mass on a regular basis, I'm disgusted by that guy's comments about the pope. Now we will probably never receive a papal visit while this jerk is in office. And that picture he posted is pure blasphemy. If there's a hell, he's certainly going there.

If Pope Leo does visit America, I hope that he will snub frump, by refusing to be seen with frump, his wife, and the Vamps! Oh, and Rubio, and his family too!
I understand how you feel.
There are people, though, who have a certain kind of character. They are uniquely themselves no matter the situation. They tell the truth no matter the consequences. I believe Pope Leo is such a person. Trump is no match for him.

Does he think we are all f***'n stupid? Geesh...
Yes, he does. And, he thinks he is a "stable genius" rather than an impulsive, out-of-control moron.
Yes he & his despicable cabinet & enablers & all the billionaires that fund their lawless ways do think we are stupid … but they will learn that we are not.
"Does he think we are all f***'n stupid? Geesh..."
Yes he thinks we are all f***'n stupid. He's 12 weeks from finding out.

The retribution will be epic. The Nuremberg trials will pale in comparison.
I hope I live long enough to see it (I'm 82). Then I could die with a smile on my face!
me too.
Me too Anthony.

Thanks .. I don't know though the video of him dropping shit on protesters really offended me . Both are terribly offensive.
As I have said (actually going back to 1996), the Republican Party is moving in the direction of becoming what could be called the American Christian Nation Party: https://www.opednews.com/articles/Trump-s-American-Christian-by-Steven-Jonas-Christian-Right_Party-Platforms-GOP-RNC_Party-Politics-Republican_Trump-210714-333.html. As for Trump's healing hands, man, is he going to be busy working in Iran, Southern Lebanon, and Gaza, on the injuries his policies (which include supporting Israeli Nationalism [because of what Mossad has on him?]) have caused. One just has to hope that he will be able to fit it all in between cage matches.
Putin. Netanyahu. POSOTUS. Orbán down, three to go.
