sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
1. When are they going to get rid of that Rusky problem problem permanently? It’s only going to get worse!!
2. Chris Christie as President?? After his morbidity obese self backed all of Trump’s stupidity, not the least of it his pandemic maskless non-plan? Christie who got covid & used Trump privilege to get expensively healed of Covid & Likely on taxpayers dime?!
He can suck giant popsicles through his nostrils.
3. No kidding trickle-down economics doesn’t work.
Lisa, I started to laugh at the image of Chris Christie with a pair of popsicles up his nose....then I read on and got thoroughly depressed. You wrote "It...doesn't have to be this way", but it always has been this way. There have always been the Kelly Loefflers, who I sincerely hope will soon lose her "job", and there have always been the homeless. The difference now is that the gap has become greater and the people at the "top" are not getting 50 times the income of those at the bottom, b…
I really intended for just snark, but my anger over middle class decline has really reached its peak these past four years. I thought Obama would have made better inroads, but I’ve learned a lot since Trump took office and see the games and roadblocks.
Yes, it’s always been this way. It’s because of Survival of the Whitest ”gene”. It kicks in to ensure its survival, at any cost, whenever it feels threatened.
Only time, persistence, education, strength, integri…
Lisa, I shall refrain from replying, not because I agree or disagree with you, but any discussion of United States history (which I have both studied and taught) in relation to "survival of the whitest" and treatment of the non-whites would take up volumes.
Obama was a disaster as President, unfortunately, because the cards were all stacked against him by the intransigent Republicans, just as HCR has often said. He also suffered from the Carter Syndrome; a micro-manager is not a good decision maker.
Amen, to this, Lisa. I wrote that graf not because the information was news to anyone paying any attention, but because the fact that Bloomberg was running the story seemed to me a big deal.
