lol, well this should be good

Quick reminder that tens of millions of people not only voted for Trump, but fully support him to this day and will be nodding their heads sagely as they read his tweets.

Try again

Happy nothing ****ing matters day.

I'm still not fully comfortable with the President openly shilling for companies he's friendly with.

This might be his best-ever tweet.

I'm just sitting here grinning, thinking of the President of the United States waking up, taking a shower, getting dressed, eating breakfast, starting his day, then suddenly being compelled to tweet that.

It's like he has Twitter Tourette's.


EDIT: It's been said a million times before, but if any other 70-something year-old man tweeted like Trump does, his family would seriously consider putting him in a home.

"COO" lol

totally lost it at COO lmaoo

You know that even the redacted report is gonna show some ****ed up stuff while simultaneously covering up stuff that's even worse.

Trying to decide how many redacted items will be verified within the next forty eight hours. There is zero chance it will have been done with any competence.

There is a non-zero chance they **** up the redactions.

Did anyone else get interference then. Was expecting the Emperor Zod to appear.

At this rate barr's probably going to conclude with 'No collusion no obstruction! Russian hoax!'

Barr you gave your opinions you hack

Well that was a quick Q&A lol. What a hack.

Strange reply, because both tourism and rents/real estate investment are obviously major sources of income for the Catholic Church. What are its most important sources of income? Publishing and merchandising?

Some will claim donations as the principal source, but as it is difficult to imagine a better vehicle for massive money laundering, such claims have to viewed with at least a bit of skepticism. Such a claim seems plausible for dioceses in the US, in particular, but the US is a special case in many ways.

In a lot of Europe (e.g. Italy, Spain, Germany) the state directly gives money to the Catholic Church (one checks a box on one's tax return and some euros go the Church).

To the extent that they are even available, what pass for the official figures for the Holy See's income and budget and the Vatican city's income and budget obviously don't include most of what most of us mean by the Catholic Church (they are far too small compared to the size of the institution and correspond just to the personnel and expenses of those two institutions as such). The Archdiocese of Chicago has more money than the Vatican, but when I say "Church" I mean the whole big monster, not the formal legal entities that constitute it. But I'm not sure what to say if you think the fees charged to tourists to view the Cathedrals in Barcelona aren't important parts of the financing of the Catholic Church in Catalunya.

In many locales the Catholic Church has a serious interest in maintaining in secrecy its income sources and assets because it is exposed to multibillion dollar&euro judgments for its organized protection of criminal behavior. In other cases, e.g. in Spain, it simply appropriated a lot of lands during a dictatorship. The dispute over the owernship (public or church) of the Mezquita in Cordoba is a typical example.

You'd think they'd at least have fire insurance, no?
