So I learned that the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem is ...

How is anyone supposed to take someone with the name "Pizzaballa" serious? That's like a joke name you give an Italian character on an 80s sitcom.

He was among the candidates for the Papacy last year.

Also diversity casting is strong.

Glover became the first person of color, Koch the first woman, and Hansen the first non-U.S. citizen to travel beyond low Earth orbit, and plan to become the first person of color, woman, and non-U.S. citizen to travel to the vicinity of the Moon.

I noticed that NASA uses words like "for all Humanity" when talking about Artemis II. Now that they're off maybe the White House learns about the mission, we'll know when NASA switches to "for White America".

What will they do actually? Make some TikToks as they round the moon, but other than that?

From wiki:

The mission is expected to set several human spaceflight records, including distance from Earth (about 4,700 miles (7,600 km; 4,100 nmi) beyond the Moon) and velocity (atmospheric reentry speed of about 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 km/h)).

Artemis II is a flight test supporting subsequent Artemis missions, which are planned to return humans to the lunar surface in 2028 for the first time since Apollo 17.

We're a paper tiger. And we sure as fuck are going to be to an even larger extent once this insane jackass finishes diplomatically isolating us. We are in for a century of humiliation.

[I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way," Trump said in the interview.]

Trump says he's considering pulling out of NATO, calls it a 'paper tiger'

"Oh yes, I would say [it's] beyond reconsideration. I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that too, by the way," Trump said in the interview.

Just in case there was in any doubt about his handler.

I will take the other side. He can't just leave Israel alone and the strait in Iranian hands. He doesn't want to but is being forced into it which is why he keeps saying weird contradictory nonsense.

But we'll see. Both options will be disastrous. But maybe you are correct.

I think he can do those things.

I mean, he's setting it up..."we've changed the regime three times...they're more reasonable now" plus the "if you (Euros) want the oil, go and get it"...with a little bit of "we have your nuclear dust under surveillance...if you make a move..."...all signs he is going to pull the plug and declare it a "win".

But I don't know why he bothered with this address...nothing new said, looks like a weak old man to Iran...nothing gained at all.

Trump didn't say anything new that he hadn't rambled on about already in the last couple days.  So far, solidifies my hunch that a ground op is off the table and he's going to drop it/TACO inside a couple weeks.

Sleepy Don also sounded tired and weak...Iran will be happy.
