I think he means "tired of the pushback and profit loss from actively bribing the system into becoming the shadow POTUS running the world behind the scenes".

How else could he attempt to advance to Mars Colonization, his lifelong dream as someone with a God-Iron-Man-Savior complex, during his lifetime?

He knows with the current progress rate he could help pave the way to Mars for humanity, but not live the dream himself, or take full credit for that achievement. And we know just how "selfless" he is.

If anything he was "rescued", or "promoted to headquarters" if you will. Because he was too good a man for these times ahead, and sadly had been getting weaker for a while. And the world is morally poorer for his departure.

I don't view the Vatican as the shining beacon of light it wants to be, but Pope Francis was a great Pope, who more than talking, walked the walk and lead by example. Loved by catholics and even people of other religions, as well as many atheists/agnostics. A unifying force of good.

Yet before he went he made sure his last big act was to admonish Vance and the Trump administration. Good on him.

Sure didn't see this one coming, ironically. Before the pope had passed away I commented this on another post.

Bet the poor Pope couldn't even attend because in addition to his health issues he must have felt the evil pressure oozing from Vance.

Welp, poor Francis. He was a good one, and difficult to replace especially in these uncertain times.

The silver lining is that he really made his last big act in life to admonish Vance, and by extension the Trump admin, about their wrongdoing. He has my gratitude for that.

Decades from now students will learn about this whole period in schools - and they'll call the teachers liars and say there's a shadow government altering history.

Because no one will believe we had this level of stupidity and idiocracy. You literally can't make this shit up if you tried your best.

He's really going around bragging "Heh hurr durr, check out these plans I have access to because I'm the mf'ing top dog, I'm so good, let those doubters calling me a drunk eat a fat one." Repeatedly. Micro pp energy all the way.

Even if that's real, which doesn't look like it, what's keeping them from forcing Mr. Garcia onto a chair, hold him down, while they tattoo it?

This administration and their dictator allies have shown to have no constraints, no guardrails, time and time again. Consistently. You can always blindly trust them to bs and lie their way through anything.

You gonna tell me people who tried to stage Mr. Garcia sipping some Margaritas by a hotel pool wouldn't stoop so low as to place fake tattoos on him? Yeah, that's the thing with dishonesty - even if you tell the truth once it's still gonna be called into question. The boy who cried wolf, and all that.

Oh no, Vance got Vance'd... Lucky it wasn't televised for the whole world to see.

Anyways, can't wait for the snarky tantrum and projection condemning the Pope once he's far away.

Bet the poor Pope couldn't even attend because in addition to his health issues he must have felt the evil pressure oozing from Vance.

When Mr. Garcia gets back to the US take his family and put them in safety in another country - Canada, Europe, so long as they're far from El Salvador or Trump. Political asylum anywhere safe, since he can be considered now a person of interest to those wanting to upkeep democracy, and a danger to those undermining it.

I'm sure there's plenty of people sympathetic to this cause and wanting Mr. Garcia to be able to freely speak without fear about what he's endured.

As soon as he's back in the US he'll have a big red bullseye on his back, guaranteed.

Bro really thought, after everyone else involved since 2014, he could just get in the room and say:

• "Hey, c'mon. Let's just stop this. Killing is bad, peace is good. I also want Ukraine to give up all the taken territory and I want 50% of Ukraine's minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing.
• "And then everyone clapped, and the war ended for good, just like that, with everyone happy. Zelensky hugged Putin, both kissed Trump's ring, and they shared some champagne overlooking the beautiful US Gaza Trumpland sunset, surrounded by AI bearded ladies".
• The End.

Children raised on silver spoons often expect others to simply obey them, no questions asked.

Slow clap. He really managed to come in when Ukraine had the upper hand with allied help, weakened their efforts by humiliating, extorting and cutting off aid and intel, as well as making them lose their bargaining chip in Kursk, and now they just say "this is too much after all" and bail out.

Just to show up again at the end to claim victory after Europe and any other allies have seen this through. Mark my words.

Inb4 Trump claims American Indians are just Indians from India who tried to fool true 'muricans.

I really have this naive dream that when this all is over and they have to face consequences justice opens an exception of irony for the lot of them and gives them the medicine they so defended - no due process, straight to foreign gulag. Then photo op in front of their cell.

I don't expect it to happen in the slightest. But god, would I accept it so well. These people need to be made an example of, otherwise there'll always be a whole army of them lined up for the next attempt.

Heard of the whistleblower related to DOGE who claims the tech group hired by Musk had already tried to breach government for years or so?

And how with each DOGE visit to a given department it always followed tactics of distraction and getting stored data, then suddenly leaving?

And how there's suddenly many breach attempts by suspicious hackers linked to Russia right after DOGE visits?

Or how the biggest culprit of government bloating by hecking far, the Department of Defense, same department who has failed several audits, was never a target of DOGE?

Hm... Not suspicious at all. Sadly I can't recall the source, but I think it was on YouTube.

What @beernutz@lemmy.world said, pretty much.

European too here, though with a special interest in all of this since I'm one of the closest europeans to the US, living right in the middle of the Atlantic. 🙂

Make no mistake. Last time Trump got legitimately "thrown out of his palace" he called upon an army of insurrectionists to storm the capitol.

Now he's back in there, surrounded by yes-men, and his insurrectionist army is pardoned and with boosted confidence that they can spread chaos without consequences. And by being POTUS many of his armed forces supporters have the "following orders" and "his elected authority" excuse to side with him against the remaining government branches and the people - even if their oath is to the constitution.

Whatever enforcement entity SCOTUS can get to impose actual consequences to this administration's wrongdoing on April 23rd, if it comes to it, Trump won't take it lying down. That's a guarantee with these savages.

It definetly was the platform ever. Like, no doubt about it.

I mean... His headache will surely end, forever, as will all other sources of pain...

Now you, lady... Depending on your personality and surrounding environment, I'm not as sure. Some headaches are inflicted. Others are chronically self-inflicted.

Yup. Peaceful protests only work when the tyrant actually cares about the opinion of the protesters and may want to go out with even a shred of dignity.

That doesn't work for self-absorbed scum who believes they're above everyone else and thinks they can win by bulldozing the opposition - appealing to the good will of a sociopath won't save you, because there's none there.

He's calling the people's bluff, and he damn well knows the people don't want to get their hands dirty.

All the defense of school shootings for what? For a second amendment that isn't even used in the only situation in history where it would be justified? All talk, no action. And Trump is exploiting it big time.

If there was an honest to God legal way they'd already have figured it out along with everything else in Project 2025, long before coming into office.

They're trying to find out a better loophole than the last one, which blew up in their face. And trying to find ways to remove the people in the way of said loopholes.

Europe accepts its sons and daughters of long ago. Specially the talented ones who contributed to empowering science in the US.

Not the Drumpf family, tho. Those can stay there instead of returning to their roots in Germany. The last thing we want is a "Make Germany Great Again" movement - they're already great right now, no need to fix what's not broken, thank you.

I mean... Regardless of them being biased or not, or how good a President they were during their terms, didn't every single one of them warn the people this was to be expected when you put a clown on the White House? That it'd turn into a circus?

Even Kamala warned about it, and I don't even like her and don't see her as POTUS material. But even if she didn't do much as a leader, even if her term was mostly unremarkable, it still wouldn't be as implosive as Trump 2.0.

Words, at the end of the day, are just words. They're pretty worthless if there's no action behind them. And Trump calls that bluff daily. He fully knows people will complain and badmouth him, but won't go further than that. If you wanna call the bluffer's bluff, act, don't just threaten. And even if the worst the people can do to him is remove him from office (aka, no lenghty prison time, or remove all his assets and his friend's, or worse) then he's already won and paved the way for the next one in line to try his shot.

And to be clear - I did not vote for this. Like, at all, because I'm not even american. And yet billions of people are still being affected by this debacle of misplaced trust by our collective predecessors.

As far as a spec of dust such as myself can do, I won't contribute to this dependency ever.

I get to be the favorite of pretty much all the family pets. Always been.

Some family and friends joke that I probably could go to an African safari and the lions wouldn't harm me. Not really rushing to find out if it's true tho.
