President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'm not going to yell at him for being less awful than previous statements indicated he would be

 

John Milton has arrived.

Obama and the 2009 Commencement

We have discussed the 2009 Obama episode in detail in prior bulletins. Here are the principal lowlights:

By honoring Obama, Notre Dame scorned the injunction of the United States bishops that “Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles” (bold in original).

Bishop D’Arcy reacted with a lacerating denunciation of Notre Dame’s action and refused to attend the commencement.

Eighty-two other cardinals, archbishops, and bishops joined Bishop D’Arcy in censuring Notre Dame. When has that ever happened at a Catholic university.

Former Ambassador to the Vatican and distinguished Catholic educator Mary Ann Glendon took back her acceptance of Notre Dame’s highest award, the Laetare Medal, because, she said, she did not want to be on the platform when Obama was honored “in disregard of the U.S. bishops’ express request of 2004 that Catholic institutions ‘should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles.’”

A student-organized rally and Mass on the quad in protest of Obama’s appearance drew thousands, including Bishop D’Arcy, while a battalion of pro-life demonstrators marching on the fringe of the campus attracted national attention.

 

Exactly. That's the absolutely mandatory question. Maybe this is a common staffing level at this point. You've got to say it one way or another.

 

I like POWs who don't drop dead on the side of the road.

 

So, not as Starman described then.

 

Would you vote for Trump if the election were to be held tomorrow, YF?

 

Elections are held on the first Tuesday of November in every fourth year. So no election tomorrow.

 

That contributed nothing. My question remains for YF. Not interested in your answer.
