He converted to Catholicism just a few years ago. He took a shortcut around the usual path for adult converts. He didn't bother to baptize his son until he was six years old. He rarely attends Mass at church. But he's still going to lecture the pope on Catholic doctrine, thank you very much.

Media ploy. Once again. It took 2 cherry pickers and a few hours to get the #trump name added to the #KennedyCenter Now the tax payers are forced to pay for retribution scaffolding and a dozen people working overtime. Trump is a wasted waster.
Top left: 2 cherry pickers in front of the Kennedy Center
Top right: 1145am 8 workers standing & watching a worker unload something from the back of a pickup truck. There is a rudimentary outline of scaffolding. 
Bottom left: 1:33pm and barely 25% done. 
Bottom right: we’re over 13 hours into just building the scaffolding. Lots of standing around. Looks about 90% complete.  Why is the scaffolding above the letters they have been ordered to remove?

If Republicans feel really strongly about getting taxpayers to pay for Trump's golden ballroom, they should go out there and hold some town halls with their constituents. They can bring photos of the chandeliers and maybe a sample of the marble for them to look at. I'm sure it'll be a big hit!

So Trump deleted the photo depicting him as Jesus. — When asked about it, he will claim that it was posted by a staff member. However, he will neither name nor fire this alleged staff member, and 99.9% of MAGA influencers will simply act as if the whole thing never happened.

NBC is reporting that in the days before Iran's attack on a US airbase in Saudi Arabia, Russia took satellite images of the facility, evidently to aid Iran's targeting. So, I checked informally with friends. Yes, it is true. Even as Trump lifts sanctions on Russian oil, Putin is helping Iran.
