EVERY DAY...

 


we wake up to news about another slimy, unethical action taken by the criminal POTUS.

Here's the Trump administration's latest in dishonorable behavior:



Bishops lament White House meeting that produced photo with Trump, say session was "manipulated" and "exploited" October 26, 2026 / 8:14 AM EDT / CBS/AP



" ... We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House. 

 "I did not go without reservations. I wish I had heeded them," Grob concluded. "Please know that I have heard these concerns, understand how I caused them, and I apologize for any damage my actions have done."









Last week we learned that Republicans Ramaswamy, Trump, and Vance were okay with and even enthused about a political ad that exploited an opponent who was raped as a young girl and whose mother sided with her daughter's rapist over her own flesh and blood. I thought that was the bottom of the sewer.

But in the most Trumpian "Hold My Beer" unscrupulous and devious way, he "trumped" himself by running a political ad these clergy never agreed to nor would have participated in.

In his rabid, malevolent deteriorating mind, even deceiving God's emissaries on Earth is not off limits.

I shudder to think what this depraved man will do next.

I'm not sure they were manipulated. Naive? Sure. But if they thought they were getting a legit ask from the Trump Admin, they should all be defrocked for being the stupidist people on the planet.

Who in their right mind, would think the Trump Admin actually wants to work with a group of religious leaders to the betterment of, besides voting outcomes, American citizens?

Were they used? Of course they were. Manipulated? Hardly. Anyone with half a brain could have seen this coming.

They are, I assume, trusting souls wanting to believe their president would listen to and respond appropriately to their input.

At least the ArchBishop apologized for the mistake of thinking trump would not be trump.

Maybe Bill Maher will figure out HE was also used by Trump. Set up and knocked down like a bowling pin.
