Pope Leo calls for β€˜deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. β€œMany people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

This. Also:

1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama.

2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile.

3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan β€” and everything he stood for β€” and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t β€œinterfere” with the White House.

So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

The post from @realDonaldTrump claims that 24 Karat Gold was used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House, impressing foreign leaders and others with its quality and beauty. It describes this as the "Best Oval Office ever" in terms of success and appearance, signed by "President DJT."
