It will become as American as Freedom fries.

Yeah. It’s been wrecking the south. Can’t take a step without running into it.

Climate for one. At least where I’m at its too cold for bamboo to grow. Even in peak summer it’ll try to spread but its only a matter of time till the frost destroy it.

Now kudzu on the other hand. That shit is fucking up everything.

That character in the corner looks a lot like Nanalan.

Social atomization is another huge aspect of this.

I’ll admit when he was reelected I assumed it would’ve just been more like 2016 where we got a rotating cabinet and nothing really accomplished side from taking credit on stuff the Dems set up. He’s far more focused now. Granted I’m not American so likely there’s domestic stuff and signs I missed. He only had a few spats with my PM but this time around he’s had a whole war. And we haven’t hit the 100 day mark.

I’m kinda surprised we haven’t had more people ejected from this administration yet. 2016 had lots. Never knew who was ‘getting voted out of the Whitehouse this week’.

Well the Facebook and Google antitrust lawsuits have both been going since the Biden administration and Zuckerberg was at the inauguration and that lawsuit hasn’t been stopped yet. Maybe the FTC still has some power? Or DOGE forgot about them (lol no) or DOGE just hasnt gotten to them yet.

I doubt well see the FTC sue Tesla anytime soon but if they can work on some of these other tech giants I welcome it.

Very good to see.

I never said it does outweigh. And I had a similar discussion with another commenter in this thread about the churches redemption that I don’t feel like repeating here.

Anyways, surely youve heard of the saying, throwing the baby out with the bathwater, correct? That is what the previous poster was doing, refusing to acknowledge any recent good in the concept of religion as a whole not just Christianity. Misali Island, Sikh soup kitchens and the satanic temples lawsuits are examples of good done by religion.

So you didn’t read a single thing I wrote and didnt acknowledge the other reply to you? Alright.

That the FTC is still continuing its mission unabated is the most surprising thing of this administration.

Yeah I guess the soup kitchens, services for the poor, rehabilitation programs, the red cross / crescent, support networks, salvation army, the Catholic Climate Covenant, nature reserves like Misali Island and civil right religious organizations like the Satanic Temple have had their day too.

Oh yeah, the church isn’t perfect, what they did to Sinead was completely uncalled for. They should have acknowledged her and started excommunicating the priests responsible. I’m just still of the opinion that the church can be fixed as opposed to just abandoning it. That’s about I think where we differ. Hell, there was a point where the church had a brothel in it! So it’s come a long way since then. Still not perfect. My hope is that incremental changes can make it better. Make it to a point where good completely outweighs the bad and even if not, the earliest form of Christianity didn’t necessarily have a central governing authority, so long as individual Christians keep the message that is still good.

I thought he should. I should have specified the tradcath movement and by that I mean like if you go to Twitter or related platforms you get these people claiming to be catholic and stating that they are tradcaths, some idealized version of a catholic that believes in ‘traditional values’ and just general MRA, incel stuff that otherwise never ever made sense in catholicism. And then you have plenty of leaders in the States that repeatedly claim to be Christian or just outright make up stuff and pretend like their idealogy is completely approved by the Vatican (or they are just so ignorant they just assume all Christians follow the same ideaology). Paula White and JD Vance are a good examples of this.

It’s just that there’s a growing blurring in the States of Protestantism, Teleevangelism and Catholicism that I think the pope should have addressed.

One thing I really think the he should have done more was criticize the American version of Christianity. It’s divorced so much even from Protestantism that it should be called out. That one of the candidates to replace him is from the Philippines it will hopefully throw a wrench into the more racist aspects of it.
