Hard to say who’s better between the two. They both suck. But the advantage he has is that the party is gonna tip the scales for him, because it’s his turn.

She knows it requires her to hoover up a bunch of votes, then back out before Super Tuesday to endorse Gavin

They can argue all they want, but the State regulators get to make their argument, too, and I bet courts side with the State.

I bet Obama can take on all 3

Oh shit, all the times I’ve seen that photo and never noticed that detail…

Gambling regulations in the US are mainly left up to individual States. That could explain the situation, because if a Federal official opens themselves up to a State prosecution then Daddy Trump may not be able to help them.

No, I believe this is legit. They sent this warning because they’ve figured out this is a legitimate risk for them, a situation that not even their store-bought judges can fix for them. The emphatic White House denial is proof that it’s happening.

Maybe that’s Trump’s retirement gig, he’ll leave the Presidency and become Pope Donald the Lecherous

That may not work the way you think it will, but that’s a spoiler for the second movie, IIRC.

Where is it? If it’s in the Bay Area you won’t be able to afford a house on that meager pittance

Just get a carrot nose, you can be the snowman. His schtick is that he can’t wait for Summer, because he doesn’t realize he’ll melt.

(Yeah, that’s a spoiler, but if you haven’t seen the movie yet you don’t care)

I’m surprised Elon didn’t convince them to take the payments in Dogecoin…

I’ve seen other references elsewhere. Any quotes on what was said seem to reference the Free Press article. But the other sources are still reporting that there was a meeting, and the Vatican didn’t like what they heard,whatever it was.

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/pope-leo-visit-us-trump-president-b2954080.html

According to Vatican and U.S. officials who were briefed on the meeting and spoke to the publication, the Pentagon criticized the Pope’s statements in January, interpreting them as hostile attacks on Trump’s policies.

…

A Vatican official speaking to The Free Press said the Pope has no plans to visit the U.S. while Trump is in office.

You’re not wrong, but that’s not the way Catholicism works. People overplay the “infallibility” angle, but the bishops are supposed to listen to the Pope, that’s the whole point.

The logical end result of “a difference in priorities between Catholic leadership in America vs the rest of the world.” is either that the US bishops get in line, or we have a new Schism.

And I think this Pope knows it. The original Pope Leo is literally the Patron Saint of “defending against heresy”. He chose that name for a reason.

Has Netflix tried not going to Starbucks as often, or not eating Avocado Toast?

Most of those Republicans are some flavor of Protestant, so it tracks

It would be ironic if Trump does to the Vatican what he did to Venezuela, even after the US Catholic Bishops’ drive toward outlawing Abortion might have been the decisive factor giving Trump enough support to win both elections.

Where’s the link?

“Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, vessels are given a few seconds to pay in bitcoin, ensuring they can’t be traced or confiscated due to sanctions,” Hosseini told the newspaper.

Oh shit, it’s one thing to be on the wrong side of the US Army. But the Iranians are about to be on the wrong side of Monero shills, who will loudly proclaim “Bitcoin isn’t untraceable, they should use Monero instead” from the comfort of their parents’ basement…

Can they both lose, please?
