“Pope Leo is weak on crime” is both a hilarious and deranged statement.

Currently at the top of the NYTimes front page: "Pope Leo Says He Has ‘No Fear’ After President’s Attack"

Will Trump grab Leo by the papacy?

Quote:
........    Minutes after posting his rant about Pope Leo being “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy”, Donald Trump posted an AI image of himself as Jesus Christ healing the sick – overlooked by an American flag, fighter jets and a bald eagle.

It was typical of the AI slop that is regularly amplified by the president’s social media account. But it was a good reminder, if one was needed, that this is a president and an administration that is happy to take the lord’s name – and image – in vain, while portraying themselves as men of God.

Not only did Trump malign Leo as a wannabe politician who should “get his act together” and focus on his job, but he claimed Leo was selected as pope not because of any personal attributes, divine insights or leadership qualities, but because the Vatican thought he might get on better with Trump.

“He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump,” the president asserted on Truth Social. “If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.”       ............

"Trump Attacks the POPE"



Pope Leo [along with all of the higher echelons [the 'functionaries'] of Catholic Church], live in many palaces [i.e. he [and they] have access to, many luxurious private Church owned apartments].

ALSO, Pope Leo [and Catholic priests], conduct his [and their] 'work' within many palaces. [i.e. many vast, EMPTY, expansive [and often gilded] Catholic churches and cathedrals].

QUESTION;
If the pope and the Catholic Church really, care so much for the homeless [e.g. 'north African' migrants coming into Europe] and care for the desperately poor, why doesn't he, the pope,
MAKE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION,
and open all church properties to the many 'deserving' homeless and poor people of Europe ?



WWW search....
Does the Catholic Church own the most property in Europe ?

JUST ONE HIT....

Quote:
Roman Catholic Church: 70 million hectares The largest landowner in the world is not a major oil magnate or a real estate investor.
No, it's the Roman Catholic Church.
According to lovemoney.com, the church owns more than 70 million hectares.
An area that is larger than France.
https://www.studycountry.com/wiki/does-the-catholic-church-own-the-most-real-estate


1 Timothy 6:9
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10  For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.



Jesus......famously said that he was a pauper, without even a place, to lay his head.

Luke 9:57
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58  And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests;
but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.


Hey Pope Leo.....
Please open      ONLY 1/2 of all Catholic Church properties in Europe,      to house the poor and homeless.

And God will bless you and yours.

You know that it is true.

YOU, are Pope Leo.

"You know, maybe President Trump is jealous of Pope Leo XIV, because it is a blowout. It is a blowout!" Enten said in his trademark excitable style.

He pointed to an NBC News poll last month showing that the Pope had +34 point net favorability rating with Americans, compared to Trump's -12.

"It's not even close," said Enten. "Pope Leo XIV absolutely crushing President Trump... and I will note that Pope Leo was the most popular person tested by NBC News.

It's true, Proud Gay. The Pope's mismanaging a crime wave, the likes of which we've never seen before.

The shithole countries are emptying out their jails, mental hospitals and mental asylums and bussing them into the Vatican.

The Pope sits around blessing them all, it's DESPICABLE.

I finally see what you're doing, Scoot.

You went all in on Trump, and now that the wheels have come off and his incompetence is laid bare, you're scrambling. The pattern is obvious, a trail of failures, with the most consequential being that petty, ego-driven fixation on dismantling anything associated with Barack Obama, only to replace it with inferior vanity projects stamped with his own name. That impulse hasn't just been cosmetic, it has had material consequences, including the strategic collapse around Iran and the broader destabilisation that followed.

The problem for you is simpler, and more personal. You're too invested, too ego-bound to admit you got it wrong. Admitting that the people you dismiss on "the left" called this trajectory early would require a level of intellectual honesty you're clearly unwilling to engage with. Instead, you double down, or worse, you retreat into this revisionist posture where it was all "just trolling", all along.

But that doesn't wash. That's not a clever pivot, it's a transparent attempt at reputational salvage. You're trying to recast yourself, not as someone who was taken in by one of the most obvious conmen in modern politics, but as someone who was in on the joke. It's an appeal to irony as a shield against accountability.

It fails.

You didn't study Trump, you admired him. You held him up as a model, an archetype of the so-called "alpha", something to emulate, something to study. That wasn't ironic distance, it was genuine buy-in.

And now you're left with the consequences of that alignment. No amount of post hoc reframing changes the underlying reality, you backed the wrong horse, you were sold a fiction, and you were dumb enough to buy it wholesale.

Call it what it is. You were conned, and trying to rewrite that fact now just compounds the error.

As of 2026, there are over 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide,
representing roughly 17.7% of the global population.

If each one gave $1 per week at church that would equal -
$1.4 billion per week of income -
that is   1.4b x 52 = 72.8 billion per annum of income.
Where is all that money?

Ego-bound? Reputational salvage? Post-hoc reframing?

Come come. Aquascoot's just changed his mind, that's all. He's gone from worshipping the fridge and bravely lining up for his clot shots to championing nuclear war and Armageddonism.

It's hard to tell why he's thrown out all those high-minded valued he used to lecture us on. The Superior Man's a little bit shifty. When he is given lemons, he makes himself a tasty lemonade.

When his DL goes down, he converts to cannibalism.

He's right, Sad. When his DL creates a food and energy crisis, the SM emails him, advising him to short the oil market and make a few more bil.

That's not cheering him on, it's applying a scholarly analysis on the players who determine this.

You're the one who claimed they did good in the world, not me.

Any of their activity that isn't directly related to their charitable efforts should be taxed like any other business.  Every dollar.  I've always been supportive of at least that measure, if not more.

But I suppose not paying taxes, raping children, the more you talk about it, the more similarities with Trump that you seem to be uncovering.

No, Scoot, that's not what you've been doing, and trying to rebrand it as detached "psychodynamics" doesn't suddenly make it so.

You don't get to spend years cheerleading for Donald Trump, framing him as some kind of decisive, anti-establishment strongman, and then, when the consequences arrive exactly as predicted, pivot into the pose of a dispassionate observer "studying the players". That's not analysis, it's revisionism.

"Understanding motivation is not endorsement" is a nice line, but it only works if there was ever any real distance. There wasn't. You weren't sitting above it all like some neutral academic, you were actively buying into the persona, the rhetoric, the whole "alpha" mythology that surrounded him. Now that it's unravelled into volatility, escalation, incoherence, and strategic incoherence, you're trying to launder that past support into something that sounds intellectual.

It's not working.

And this fatalistic routine about "nothing can be done" is just the next layer of the same dodge. It conveniently absolves you from having to reckon with the fact that political choices, narratives, and support do shape outcomes. You don't get to amplify a figure like Trump, dismiss criticism at the time, and then retreat into "well, it was all inevitable anyway" when it goes sideways.

As for the "everyone's a fanatic" framing, that's just flattening reality to avoid engaging with specifics. Lumping complex geopolitical actors into a neat little triad of inevitability might feel clever, but it's lazy. It replaces analysis with cynicism and calls it wisdom.

Misunderstanding wisdom is pretty much you in a nutshell.

And the "every judgement is a confession" line isn't insight, it's a shield. It's a way to dodge accountability by pretending that calling out obvious patterns is somehow just projection. It isn't. Sometimes a bad call is just a bad call.

This isn't about being "too scared" to study anything. It's about recognising the difference between actually analysing a situation and retroactively pretending you were never invested in it.

You weren't studying Trump, you backed him. Now you're trying to rewrite that as detachment because the outcome is indefensible.

That's not wisdom, it's damage control, presented poorly, as philosophy.

And what for? All of this theatre just to avoid the simple admission that you were wrong about Donald Trump. Instead of owning it, you've escalated into this absurd posture where years of very real support are retroactively recast as some kind of elaborate troll, purely to salvage your own ego.

No one's buying it. The pattern is obvious to anyone paying attention.

What you're doing isn't analysis, and it isn't detachment, it's reputational triage. You backed one of the most transparently dishonest political figures in modern memory, and now you're trying to intellectualise your way out of the consequences of that call.

You don't get to rewrite history just because it's become inconvenient.

I know, Sad, but Aquascoot will change, you'll see. SM's a little bit mutable.

When the Dems get back in, Aquascoot will get some critical perspective back, you'll see.

Newscum will be corrupt, evil and so unfair again - why are the left so monstrous?

Has the Pope mentioned Christians being slaughtered by muslims in Nigeria or Africa or maybe even Syria recently?

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In response to the Christianity Today editorial calling for his removal, Trump called the magazine a "left-wing rag" and said, "I have done more for Christianity than Jesus."

"I mean, the name of the magazine is Christianity Today, and who is doing more for Christians today? Not Jesus. He disappeared; no one knows what happened to him. But I'm out there every day protecting churches from crazy liberals."

While Trump admitted that Jesus did do some things for Christianity in the past, Trump said he was doing more now and it was more substantial. "I'm appointing judges to help protect religious rights," Trump stated. "How many judges has Jesus appointed? He says something about judging people in the future, but I ain't seen it."

Furthermore, Trump asserted that he "saved Christmas." "Look what I've done," he said. "You can say 'Merry Christmas' now. In fact, if you say 'Happy Holidays' and don't immediately make it clear you're referring to Christmas, you go to prison. What has Jesus ever done for Christmas? Be born? He wants credit for that? Come on."

DL's done more than Martin Luther, dear chap.

As a devout Lutheran, you must concur, no?
