I can believe two things simultaneously 1. I would like to see the Iranian regime fall and be replaced by a western oriented government 2. The attack on Iran violates US law and international norms and probably won’t get the above done

@emzanotti @janecoaston Can I leave you both with an old Catholic joke. JFK asked Cardinal Spellman if the Pope is infallible. Cardinal Spellman said “Yes, except he keeps calling me Spillman”.

@SamanthaRedeemd The “new” translation took me about 10 years and I still stumble with it (partly due to the fact that my parish for a while was using the Apostle’s Creed at the Mass I usually attended).

How long did it take you to memorize the Nicene Creed? I'm still following along in the Missalette 😅

"Pol Pot was actually CIA" "Caucescu was actually CIA" "Jaruzelski was actually CIA" "Gorbachev was actually CIA" "Honecker was actually CIA" Was there a single communist leader who wasn't CIA according to you lot?
Agus 🇦🇷 🏳️‍⚧️@Agus_HQ

@The_Davos_Man "Pol Pot's communist regime" You mean the CIA backed and US armed dictatorship that actively opposed communists both inside Cambodia and in the region? You'll blame tankies for everything, man!

IIRC they ripped them out to build temporary buildings during WWI, and the buildings stood until 1970, and by then television had been invented and we got stuck on the idea that the mall was supposed to look like a giant lawn. nps.gov/articles/tempo…

DC has one of the most oppressive summer climates in the world. Walking around the federal core -- or downtown DC -- in July or August is absolutely punishing. The Trump administration should be planting as many trees as possible around the National Mall and narrowing roads with pedestrian paths and trees -- not building a stupid arch.

@SketchesbyBoze Also a true story: I was buying something at a convenience store in 1990 and the TV was on showing the Berlin Wall coming down. The girl at the counter was like, "I don't get it. There was a wall in the middle of a city? Why?"

As literacy declines, the ability to have basic discussion is breaking down. I called someone on here a “naysayer”; she thought I said “nasty.” A guy yesterday tried to tell me Alexandre Dumas died 2,000 years ago. Turns out, mass literacy was the glue holding society together.

why does Milwaukee/Wisconsin drink so much? Catholicism! (kinda) alcohol among Yankee prots was largely reserved for the rural/laborer class but Catholic Germans' were the first middle-class folks that loved to drink, especially on Sunday; "sabbath desecration" happy 414!

@jkimballcook As a person raised Lutheran, I am surprised to learn that there was a 96th thesis about the importance of loyalty to secular & national governments over the Pope. Also that 1517 Germany had a President. Or maybe that was something Calvin snuck in when we weren't looking.

The next U.S. Soccer sporting director cannot be a random dude from the UK that is here to collect a paycheck. Hire someone from the USA 🇺🇸 that cares about soccer in the US, understands our issues and has a long term vision. Guys like Tab Ramos, Hugo Perez as examples.

When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d, And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night, I mourn’d, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring. Lincoln and liberty The Union forever.

“I die the King’s good servant, but God’s first.” Let’s be real — I don’t expect martyrdom. But in the current atmosphere St Thomas More’s words are important for American Catholics. We love our country and fulfill our duties as citizens. But our duty to God comes first.

I wonder how many older lawyers default to using pens with blue ink instead of black ink because, back when you would file a paper original and a paper copy, blue ink was the way the clerk could tell which was which, so by default it just made sense to use pens with blue ink.
