Yes.

This is what he said in the past.

"Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church." -- Robert Prevost

We are essentially in that situation right now.

It's still is, the problem is that now most people think the so called platforms as the Internet.

That was the plan. The spectacle in the WH about suits was to convince Americans that Ukraine shouldn't be helped. Trump was convinced that blocking help to Ukraine will force them to surrender, and the war will be over.

When Ukraine and Poland contacted WH asking what was going on, WH just acted like they don't know what's happening.

The only time when "love and unity" isn't the correct answer he uses it.

Yeah it is confusing. But as you pointed out the sign means no entry for bikes in most of the Europe, it doesn't mean anything in US.

On the other hand this is titled car-brains on vacation. Implying they normally drive cars.

Really confusing.

Now you are confusing me. I thought she is taking about the sign and about if someone would propose to put it in her town.

TBH if it was a matter of national security, I would really prefer if he didn't have any say either.

He eventually wants the military inside of the country. Looks like he already started that, first around the border, and eventually plans to expand it.

We should absolutely put pressure since this is illegal.

I don't know what's crazier. The fact that they let undergrads write government system or that they believe AI will somehow remediate these issues.

The fact that this government used LLM to generate that insane tariff policy or uses LLM to revoke stay for US citizens tells me how dumb all those people are.

It is also a lesson that being smart is definitively not a prerequisite to be a billionaire and likely quite the opposite.

My fear is that's the plan all along. The tariffs created such a mess that it is nearly impossible to even follow the law and pay exactly as much is required.

It's possible that the idea is the businesses will get exemptions for cooperating with the government.

Maybe won't, but the effects of tariffs didn't hit ordinary people yet. Reports say that it will take about 3 weeks.
