Two Catholic bishops have expressed regret about agreeing to a White House meeting that produced a publicly distributed photo of them praying with Donald Trump.
Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, in a statement titled “A Public Apology,” said Sunday that he had received many questions and comments — some of them distraught — about the meeting on Thursday which he and 11 other bishops attended.
He said the meeting was speedily publicized by the White House with photos and a video, without consent of the participants, and less than two weeks away from the midterm elections.


Counterpoint, if there’s nothing to be gained besides a loss then don’t bother. Frankly speaking we defer far too much to these milksops, Putin and Trump should both be treated with utter and open contempt the type where you snear at them and walk off if they approach. There’s nothing respectable about Trump and with the sole exceptions of lower government entities there’s nothing to be gained by interacting with him, if you ain’t a mayor or governor then the only words he should here from someone is “fuck off”.
Frankly speaking he really only deserves to be gunned down the next time he has the gall to visit a foreign power. He has long since waived his right to a trial via his actions.
Geopolitics extends will beyond your city and state.
I’m aware, what I’m saying is that the state and cities are the only ones who should do anything other than ignore this fuckwit at best. Unless you can somehow squize something out of him there’s no point in playing nice, so long as it doesn’t actively risk actual danger do whatever to him. And given how the US is actively collapsing in on itself I’d argue there’s only gains to be made by being antagonistic towards Trump and the US as a whole, frankly with this Iran war shit the rest of the world should be issuing general embargos, denials of port, and bounties from Trump his kin and his kith.
