Why don’t men shave any more?

I think Nero is a good analogy, this satirical song by Shirley Serban captures it well.

He’s a very naughty boy!
Sorry but laughing at Trump’s latest attempt at ‘divine intervention’ is the only option for me. 😂😂
As Jeremy Vine said this morning, ‘He’s gone full (party) balloon.’
Where are the men in white coats?
Like the Monty Python connection.
Still think a lot of leaders are tyranical egotistical maniacs.in disguise.
Be they political, religious or whatever
Take Thatcher for example. Very arrogant hateful and destructive.
Also think the concept of Royalty is really a mental illness that needs treatment.
AI doesn't randomly create images, a human tells it to do it. Which in this case either trump or one of his minions told AI to create this image, it is very much made by AI but a human has to tell it first.
Nurse, come quickly, the Wotsit is out of bed again....
Line from a Dire Straits song "two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong". Wonder which one Trump thinks is wrong?
The lunatic is running the asylum now.
I heard Trump’s spiritual advisor, a Baptist minister, on radio 5’s Mat Chorley show this afternoon. It was rather like a not very funny comedy show. The guest said the Pope should keep out of politics (obviously the party line’. Challenged by Mat Chorley about his politics/faith, he responded by comparing himself to Dr King, he could and would do politics and faith, an option not available to the pope
He repeated Trump’s claim that the Pope is weak
I know I keep saying this but - it’s scary
I don't understand why he is still USA President. He is seriously deluded. It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.
House Democrats have filed a suit to start involving the 25th Amendment. It will never happen, because they would need a veto proof majority.
But if the GOP is looking for an off ramp, this is their opportunity.

Another one who is delusional.
Why can a Baptist Minister be involved in politics but not a Pope? As far as I can tell, the Pope, does not involve himself in politics but, naturally for a spiritual leader, wants peace.
Is that a political aim?
I have just read up on the number of Christians in the USA approx 70 million with over 20% being Catholic. Do all those people just forget all the teaching and worship Trump, will the Catholics recognise Trumps views more highly than the Pope? I think not, this will most likely be his undoing as how can he wriggle out of this.
Does that number include the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals?
He’s wriggled out of everything else as I mentioned elsewhere!

not everyone voted for Trump to be President and support is falling away drastically.
There is an interesting conundrum here. When I was a child many people in the Uk were suspicious of catholics, especially Irish catholics in the army - and the army always had lots of irish recruits, because, it was claimed, that they would always obey the Pope, even when his 'commands' ran counter to national policy.
Is that argument going to be revived in the USA?

It would be in the best interests of the world if this went through.
Attacking the Pope does not seem a winning strategy to me, but quite honestly I don’t think Trump cares.
Someone has been monitoring Trump’s night time activity on his truth social, both its content and time of activity.
It is becoming more clear by the day how ill he is when you look at this monitoring.
How on earth do you get rid of a President?
Just to lighten the tone of the discussion.

Is that a rhetorical question or did you really want answers? 😲
They just keep stepping in it.
Trump posted another AI image, this time of Jesus hugging him.
And then Vance did this.
