It's a real shame that sufficient notice has never been taken of priests preference to BREAK THEIR VOWS TO GOD rather than hold molesting clergy accountable.
It's seems a profound obligation.

'Twas ever thus.
In the '70's it was a HUGE IDENTICAL SCANDAL. Somewhere I still have a (joke) "catalog" of those items.
I wish AOC -- or someone -- wouldl make the point that privileged white men have ALWAYS determined everyone's rights, including their own ⬅️ Self rule their exclusive domain.

Thank you, Hillary, for fighting so hard for women’s rights!

And (white) men at the core of that.

Men created relition to elevate themselves above women.
Because every god entrusts the nurturance of life to women.
Yet every religion honors men over them.

Decreeing your own status.
Must be nice.

Rhode Island Priests Abused Hundreds of Children Over Decades, Report Finds

When will they and their 'handlers' (diocese) finally all be found to have egregiously BROKEN THEIR VOWS TO GOD and be separated from the church?

From NYT
"Senate Republicans voted against limiting Trump’s war powers. The House is expected to do the same today."

THIS is identity pollitics.

Forgot to point out that Trump embracing representations of his ear intact puts the lie to his claim that he regenerated his ear in reconrd time. 🙏

From NYT
A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo in the Indian Ocean — the first American torpedo fired in combat since World War II.

So much for our pacifist president -- which reminds me, it seems about time to play another round of "Promises made. Promises kept?"

Opinion | Trump May Come to Regret This

Trump May Come to Regret This www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/o...

"The 1953 U.S. and British-backed coup that enabled the shah to consolidate power... became part of the DNA of the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the Islamic Republic that has bedeviled the United States ever since."

In true "To Serve Man" tradition, maybe it's really "Bored of Peace".

Video: Opinion | What if Trump Believes All of It? President Trump’s approval ratings have plummeted in his second term. But Tuesday night in his State of the Union address, he shared a very different narrative. Ezra Klein asks: What if Trump actually...

People should brush up on their malignant narcissism.

Believing it all is imperative, the prime directive.
The circumstance of him perceiving himself accurately is avoided at all costs.

They Helped Women Fight Online Abuse. They Were Barred From the U.S.

"...American officials argue that safety rules undercut free speech globally and silence conservative voices..."

So maniacal about being aggressive, they lose track of what they allow -- here that conservatives, specifically, are anathema to safety.

The disinclination of men to hold other men accountable is so profound that priests prefer to BREAK THEIR VOWS TO GOD instead.

The attention given to the specifics of malignant narcissism at the beginning of his first term needs to be revived.
He MUST believe the lies he tells to avoid confronting the truth, which would (psychologically) destroy him.

Why no arrests?
For the same reason priests chose to BREAK THEIR VOWS TO GOD rather than hold other clergy accountable.
The profundity of that allegiance has never been adequately appreciated.
Besides, who's gonna do better than priests?

Only because the white male political establishment is letting him.
Trauma from their first time ever out-of-power during Obama's presidency convinced them to never go through that again, no matter the cost.

Not until the white male political establishment says so.
It has been determining everyone's rights -- including its own -- for as long as this country has been in existence.
That is what the Revolution delivered, self-rule for privileged white men alone.

Consider them ... originalists.
